• But precisely this illusion that everything is "clear" is what is blinding us all. It is a serious temptation, and it is a subtle form of pride and worldly love of power and revenge.

• La vida es como un jardín. Como es natural, las hojas se marchitan y las flores se marchitan. Sólo si eliminamos la podredumbre del pasado en ese momento podremos disfrutar realmente de la belleza de las nuevas hojas y flores. Del mismo modo, debemos eliminar de nuestra mente la oscuridad de las malas experiencias del pasado. La vida es recuerdo en el olvido. Perdonar lo que se debe perdonar; olvidar lo que se debe olvidar. Abracemos la vida con renovado vigor. Deberíamos ser capaces de afrontar cada momento de la vida con expectativas renovadas, como una flor recién florecida.

• Una de las cosas que tenemos que cambiar en este país es la idea de que la gente no puede discrepar sin cuestionar el carácter y el patriotismo de los demás. Nunca he sugerido que el senador McCain elija sus posiciones sobre seguridad nacional basándose en la política o la ambición personal. No lo he sugerido porque creo que realmente quiere servir al interés nacional de Estados Unidos. Ahora es el momento de que reconozca que yo quiero hacer lo mismo. Que quede claro: no dejaré que nadie cuestione mi amor por este país.

• We need to invade Michigan and rebuild the state from the ground up. We will be greeted as liberators, we have clear supply lines, and we can easily rebuild the auto industry with the kind of money we spend on other countries we invade. Hell, our new Secretary of State, Hillary of Clinton, spent the better part of the past year fighting for the rights of average folks from Michigan, so think of the good will we have with the public. This is very doable. Just tell Congress we will give KBR no-bid contracts to fix Detroit.

• Para que quede claro, Microsoft ha creado un nuevo sistema operativo que no es compatible con la versión más vendida y perfectamente utilizable de su propio software. Lo que, por supuesto, me da un incentivo bastante poderoso para gastarme hasta 99,99 libras en actualizarme a Microsoft Outlook 2007 - excepto que en mi estado de ánimo actual, preferiría clavarme alfileres en los ojos.

• Undoubtedly our Heavenly Father tires of expressions of love in words only. He has made it clear through his prophets and his word that his ways are ways of commitment, and not conversation. He prefers performance over lip service. We show our true love for him in proportion to our keeping his words.

• I think people do get better as the movies go on sometimes, and I'm always happy that we're shooting out of order, so it's kind of scattered throughout the movie, and there isn't like a clear build in everyone finding their characters.

• Disruptive technology is a theory. It says this will happen and this is why; it's a statement of cause and effect. In our teaching we have so exalted the virtues of data-driven decision making that in many ways we condemn managers only to be able to take action after the data is clear and the game is over. In many ways a good theory is more accurate than data. It allows you to see into the future more clearly.

• A lot has been written about the Internet bust. From my point of view, it's quite clear the Internet isn't a category; the Internet is a technological infrastructure that can be deployed to facilitate a disruptive business model or a sustaining business model.

• Looked at objectively, it is clear that the overwhelming majority of civilian deaths resulting from political violence are produced by what should be understood as "state terror." Terrorism also serves as an excuse to avoid diplomacy and the peaceful resolution of conflict.

• I'm not even sure there is a clear distinction between "spirits" and "extra-terrestrials". At least I think extra-terrestrials may be able to slip in and out of, around and between dimensions, including the dimension we relate to as ours.

• Muchos profesores se refugiaron en especializaciones académicas y en un lenguaje arcano que los hacía irrelevantes para la tarea de defender la universidad como bien público, salvo en algunos casos para un público muy reducido. Esto ha quedado cada vez más claro en los últimos años, a medida que los académicos se han ido aislando, a menudo sin querer o sin poder defender la universidad como bien público, a pesar de los ataques generalizados a la libertad académica, al papel de la universidad como esfera pública democrática y a la creciente reducción del conocimiento a mercancía vendible, y de los estudiantes a clientes.

• The robot is not going to want to be switched off because you've given it a goal to achieve and being switched off is a way of failing - so it will do its best not to be switched off. That's a story that isn't made clear in most movies but it I think is a real issue.

• The people at the label were great but at the end of the day our visions didn't match up and I knew I had to do it my way. The potential success that could come with signing with a major label didn't quite outweigh how important it was for me to make my music the way I knew it needed to be made. It was a hard decision to make, but I've never regretted it for a second and it's only become more clear to me after making and releasing Stairwells that it was the right one.

• Singularity is seen as an event horizon. There's everything that comes before it and everything that comes after it and never the twain shall meet, in much the same way that Judeo-Christian theology presents its notion of the afterlife - there's a very clear and impermeable demarcation there.
