• La base republicana se compone ahora de ideólogos religiosos y neoconservadores, y de la inculta clase baja blanca, con una o dos personas de color al frente en la televisión para ocultar la realidad de que todos son blancos, reaccionarios y retrógrados (no hay calentamiento global). Los verdaderos conservadores, por no hablar de las clases educadas, hace tiempo que huyeron.

• Otra fuente de convicción en la existencia de Dios, conectada con la razón y no con los sentimientos, me impresiona por tener mucho más peso. Esto se debe a la extrema dificultad o más bien imposibilidad de concebir este inmenso y maravilloso universo, incluyendo al hombre con su capacidad de mirar hacia atrás y hacia el futuro, como el resultado de una ciega casualidad o necesidad. Al reflexionar así, me siento obligado a buscar una Causa Primera que tenga una mente inteligente en cierto grado análoga a la del hombre; y merezco ser llamado teísta.

• It is quite true what Philosophy says: that Life must be understood backwards. But that makes one forget the other saying: that it must be lived—forwards. The more one ponders this, the more it comes to mean that life in the temporal existence never becomes quite intelligible, precisely because at no moment can I find complete quiet to take the backward- looking position.

• People always joke that 'dog' spells 'god' backwards. They should consider that it might be the higher power coming down to see just how well they do, what kind of people they are. The animals are right here, right in front of us. And how we treat these companions is a test.

• I think with the advent of Reagan, and subsequently, both parties, there's been a strong move towards the advantage given to the richer people, in taxation and grants and supplements and things of that kind. Primarily exacerbated more recently by the Supreme Court's stupid ruling on Citizens United, and now there's a massive flood of money into the political system that I think has subverted the essence of a moral and ethical standard that used to permeate American democracy. Now it's not an admirable process. I think we've gone backwards.

• Yo no quería enseñar a leer a mi hijo, así que le leía por la noche y cerraba el libro en la parte más interesante. Él me decía: "¿Qué ha pasado entonces, papá?" Yo le contestaba: "Si aprendes a leer, podrás averiguarlo. Estoy demasiado cansado para leer. Te leeré mañana". Así que tenía la necesidad de querer aprender a leer. No enseñes a leer a los niños. No les enseñes matemáticas. Dales una razón para quererlo. En la escuela, trabajan al revés.

• Both good and evil, when they are full grown, become retrospective...That is what mortals misunderstand. They say of some temporary suffering, 'No future bliss can make up for it,' not knowing that Heaven, once attained, will work backwards and turn even that agony into a glory. And of some sinful pleasure they say 'Let me but have this and I'll take the consequences': little dreaming how damnation will spread back and back into their past and contaminate the pleasure of the sin.

  C. S. Lewis

• When you break up the individuals from a community into individual units, they become disempowered because it's the collective consciousness and the collective energy of the group from which power comes. The principal driving force that lies before us is that we have to recognize the nature of community as the evolutionary step that we just took a step backwards from in the last century.
