• It may be desirable to explain, that by the word operation, we mean any process which alters the mutual relation of two or more things, be this relation of what kind it may. This is the most general definition, and would include all subjects in the universe.

• Me encantan las películas francesas y europeas. No son más grandes, pero tienen definición, confianza y fuerza. Si pudiera, siempre iría a ver un drama francés. Obviamente, probablemente tenemos los mejores. Pero son sofisticados a muchos niveles, maduros y profundos, y nosotros no hacemos películas así.

• Dado que por definición carecen de cualquier sentido de mutualidad o totalidad, nuestras especializaciones subsisten en el conflicto entre ellas. La regla nunca es cooperar, sino seguir el propio interés en la medida de lo posible. Todos los controles y equilibrios se aplican externamente, por oposición, nunca por autocontrol. Los trabajadores, la patronal, el ejército, el gobierno, etc., nunca se contienen hasta que sus excesos despiertan suficiente oposición como para obligarles a hacerlo.

• I'm constantly correcting young people and fashion students in this nation when they say "Well, I do couture." By definition, you don't. You have to be licensed by the government of France to do couture. So don't use that term. You can say that you do one-of-a-kind, you can say it's custom, but you can't say it's couture - because it's inaccurate.

• Spare time is like spare change. It's hard to quantify, the definition of that phrase. What do I do when I'm not onstage singing, or sleeping, with or without someone else? I watch movies.

• Lo que realmente ocurrió en Vietnam fue... todas estas cosas son juegos fuera de casa para el ejército americano. No estamos en nuestro territorio, lo que significa que para tener éxito tiene que haber un socio. Y la definición de socio es alguien dispuesto a arriesgar su vida en su zona de origen para prevalecer porque cree que es necesario para construir una vida decente y una vida mejor para su pueblo.

• What you do with your life is ascribing more to what you invest your time in. If you spend a lot of time on your phone, you're ascribing more worship to that. Anything can become, by that definition, some form of idol or deity or ultimate worth in your life.

• When you are dealing with a serious compulsion or addictive pattern, then by definition self-will, self-discipline, and any other machinations of the conscious mind are not enough by themselves to handle the problem. It is like a breaker switch in your brain is simply flipped. Anybody who has had this kind of a problem knows that it doesn't matter how intelligent you are. Sigmund Freud said, "Intelligence will be used in the service of the neurosis."

• We are still in various kinds of patriarchal systems. The very definition of patriarchy is that men control women as the means of reproduction, so the idea that a woman's main role is to have children often means society wants more workers, more soldiers. The idea that how many children we have should be controlled by the family, the church, the nation - by anyone but women themselves - is still very deep and very strong.

• People often say to me, "How come you don't want to be CEO of a company?" And I tell them, "I don't want to." I know I can do it, but I don't enjoy it. Why does that have to be the definition of success?

• I agree we have enough books that attempt to explain why God allows suffering, presumably in a way that lets God off the hook. And while much smarter men than I have constructed elaborate systems in this pursuit, they are by definition exercises in speculation.

• If there is one thing I learned by reading Epstein's "The Sports Gene" it is that world-class athletes are, by definition, abnormal: that is, the kind of person capable of competing at that level is necessarily very different from the rest of us physiologically. They are outliers.

• Yo preferiría utilizar una definición muy inclusiva de la clase trabajadora. Me gustaría incluir a todas aquellas personas que, si no son explotadas por un empleador inmediato sobre ellas, son explotadas por el sistema y, por tanto, tienen motivos para querer cambiar el sistema. Tener una definición muy inclusiva de la clase trabajadora crea una gran oportunidad para organizar a la gente.
