• Being an entrepreneur, everyone needs to hear a personal anecdote from you once in a while or see you go out of your way to make someone's day. Maybe it's time for a party at your house to unwind, or an afternoon off with the team to attend the ball game.

• Pero, si exploramos la literatura del heroísmo, llegaremos rápidamente a Plutarch, que es su doctor e historiador. A él debemos el Brasidas, el Dion, el Epaminodas, el Scipio de antaño, y debo pensar que estamos más profundamente en deuda con él que con todos los escritores antiguos. Cada una de sus "Vidas" es una refutación al abatimiento y la cobardía de nuestros teóricos religiosos y políticos. Un coraje salvaje, un estoicismo no de las escuelas, sino de la sangre, brilla en cada anécdota, y ha dado a ese libro una inmensa fama.

• Second, they [those who disagree with market efficiency] always claim they know a man, a bank, or a fund that does do better. Alas, anecdotes are not science. And once Wharton School dissertations seek to quantify the performers, these have a tendency to evaporate into the air - or, at least, into statistically insignificant t-statistics.

• A veces se sienta en su coche en los semáforos a la salida y trata de calcular cuántas veces se ha sentado aquí, esperando en estos semáforos de camino a alguna parte sin ti, con la esperanza de conocer a alguien con la capacidad de relegarte a una anécdota, para acabar confundiéndote con otros

• Not afraid of poverty and drabness and who is untouched by it, untouched by the drunkenness of her friends; (she) who judges, selects, discards people with severity, who knows, when she is telling her endless anecdotes, that they are ways of escape, keeping herself all the more secret behind that profuse talk.

• You must get beyond divertissement, sketch, anecdote, the interesting moment. You must get to the mystery of human personality. What is the line of the story that leads us to a point where we see or intuit something we haven't before?

• Durante la depresión, el mundo desaparece. El lenguaje mismo. Uno no tiene nada que decir. Nada. Ni charlas, ni anécdotas. Nada puede arriesgarse en el tablero de la charla. Porque la voz interior es tan urgente en su propio discurso: ¿Cómo viviré? ¿Cómo gestionaré el futuro? ¿Por qué debo seguir?

• Anecdote: It is by no means self-evident that human beings are most real when most violently excited; violent physical passions do not in themselves differentiate men from each other, but rather tend to reduce them to the same state.

• When other people first became aware of the cow, they expressed concern and anxiety. They suggested strategies for getting the animal out of Molly's parlor: remedies and doctors and procedures, some mainstream and some New Age. They related anecdotes of friends who had removed their own cows in one way or another. But after a while they had exhausted their suggestions. Then they usually began to pretend that the cow wasn't there, and they preferred for Molly to go along with the pretense.

• Las anécdotas no son buenas historias. Por lo general, escarbo tanto debajo de ellas que la historia que finalmente sale a la luz no es de lo que la gente pensaba que trataban sus anécdotas.

• The only people who can ever put ideas into context are people who don't care; the unbiased and apathetic are usually the wisest dudes in the room. If you want to totally misunderstand why something is supposedly important, find the biggest fan of that particular thing and ask him for an explanation. He will tell you everything that doesn't matter to anyone who isn't him. He will describe paradoxical details and share deeply personal anecdotes, and it will all be autobiography; he will simply be explaining who he is by discussing something completely unrelated to his life.

• I watched our friends' wary, intelligent faces droop at our tale. Their shock was a mere shadow of our own, resembling more the goodwilled imitation of that emotion, and for this reason it was a temptation to exaggerate, to throw a rope of superlatives across the abyss that divided experience from its representation by anecdote.

• Anecdote: In a controversial way, Comedian and actor Bill Cosby sought to teach his son the pain of being lied to. Convinced his son had been dishonest regarding an issue, Cosby promised that if he told him the truth, he would not hit him. When his son did confess, Cosby did hit him. Seeing his son's shock and hurt, Cosby said he hoped this lesson had deepened his understanding of the anguish generated by a sense betrayal.

• During a frustrating argument with a Roman Catholic cardinal, Napoleon Bonaparte supposedly burst out: “Your eminence, are you not aware that I have the power to destroy the Catholic Church?” The cardinal, the anecdote goes, responded ruefully: “Your majesty, we, the Catholic clergy, have done our best to destroy the church for the last 1,800 years. We have not succeeded, and neither will you.”

• Anécdota: La grandeza significa liderar el camino. Ningún arroyo es grande y copioso por sí mismo, sino que se hace grande recibiendo y guiando a tantos afluentes. Así sucede también con toda grandeza intelectual, Sólo se trata de que alguien indique la dirección que han de seguir tantos afluentes; no de que haya sido rico o pobremente dotado en su origen.

• Raksin worked for Alfred Hitchcock, about whom one of the most famous Raksin anecdotes was spoken. The legendary director declared he wanted no music at all for the oceanic Lifeboat, because he felt audiences would wonder where the music was coming from in the middle of the sea. Raksin said, Ask Hitch where the cameras are coming from.
