• Para muchos de nosotros, tristemente, el espíritu de la Navidad son las "prisas". Y, sin embargo, al final llega la hora en que las prisas terminan y la carrera contra el calendario llega misericordiosamente a su fin. Tal vez sólo ahora reconozcamos verdaderamente el espíritu de la Navidad. (...) Con toda su confusión temporal, puede que nos ayude a ver que, por el contrario, la propia Navidad es eterna.

• The first several scenes are about sexual addiction. They're not specifically political at all... I didn't sit down and think, ''I am going to write something about the religious right.'' I started out by writing something about sexual addiction, and it evolved... I don't look at a calendar and say: ''Oh! There's going to be an election in 1996. I think now, in 1993, I'll start writing a play that'll be ready for it.''

• Independientemente de lo que cada uno pueda pensar o creer personalmente sobre él, Jesús de Nazaret ha sido la figura dominante en la historia de la cultura occidental durante casi veinte siglos...

• Siempre había pensado que la esencia de la experiencia humana no residía principalmente en las vivencias cumbre, los días de boda y los triunfos que se destacaban en la memoria como fechas marcadas en rojo en viejos calendarios, sino, más bien, en el flujo desinteresado de las pequeñas cosas: la tarde del fin de semana con cada miembro de la familia ocupado en su propia búsqueda, sus cruces y conexiones casuales, diálogos inminentemente olvidables, pero la suma de esas horas creando una sinergia que era importante y eterna.

• La tontería prevalece, la modestia fracasa La gracia y la virtud se convierten en estupidez Mientras el calendario desvanece casi todas las barricadas a un pálido compromiso Y nuestros líderes hacen fiestas en los traseros de las bestias Siguen pensando que son los dioses de la antigüedad Si algo que echabas de menos ni siquiera existía Era sólo un ideal ¿Es tanta sorpresa?

• The time would not pass. Somebody was playing with the clocks, and not only the electronic clocks but the wind-up kind too. The second hand on my watch would twitch once, and a year would pass, and then it would twitch again. There was nothing I could do about it. As an Earthling I had to believe whatever clocks said -and calendars.

• In my opinion what distinguishes the Bible from the other books is its sense of time. Its first concern is to establish a calendar. Then it traces a genealogy. It imposes rhythms, it orders, it operates, it does not abandon the earth where its destiny must be fulfilled and whose own destiny must be fulfilled by it. Its history will be that of men and not of idle gods. The whole spirit must become incarnate and explore the possible.

Y aquí desarrollaron la más asombrosa de todas las ideas: la idea de la eternidad.

• We're entering our third century now, but it's wrong to judge our nation by its years. The calendar can't measure America because we were meant to be an endless experiment in freedom, with no limits to our reaches, no boundaries to what we can do, no end point to our hopes.

• It's rare to find someone excited over jury duty. If they're out there, I've never met them. Not a one. When the summons for jury duty arrives in the mail, how many people scream, 'Yes!' and run to clear the calendar? None. Our first and only reaction is, 'Oh, no,' quickly followed by, 'How can I get out of this?'
