• ¿Qué tenemos que hacer para explicar al público exactamente lo que está pasando? Estamos destruyendo nuestros preciosos recursos hídricos a este ritmo alarmante y, de nuevo, ¿por qué? ¿Cuando tenemos tantas alternativas viables?

• My record producer [David Kahne] said the major record labels these days are like dinosaurs sitting around discussing the asteroid. They know it's going to hit. They don't know when, they don't know where it's coming from. But it's sort of hit already. With iTunes, and all of that.

• Amphibians are dying out like crazy, and frogs and salamanders may be largely extinct by the end of the twenty-first century. Imagine an animal that begins its life in the water, but ends it on land - already, that's pretty weird. But, also, a lot of them are incredibly tiny and look wildly improbable. They have funny little toes, they stretch their throats into weird bubble shapes when they croak, and some of them are poisonous to the touch. I think kids from the twenty-second century might mythologize amphibians the way kids today mythologize dinosaurs.

• Existe un orden relativo entre las especies fosilizadas de plantas encontradas en el registro geológico que la Geología del Diluvio no puede explicar, a menos que puedas imaginar manzanos y naranjos con zapatillas Nike en sus raíces, corriendo más allá de las magnolias y los mamíferos primitivos, dejando a los ginkgos allí con los dinosaurios cuando las aguas del Diluvio comenzaron a subir.

• La gente alegó violación de la Primera Enmienda cuando un profesor de Nueva Jersey afirmó que la evolución y el Big Bang no son científicos y que el arca de Noé transportaba dinosaurios. Este caso no trata de la necesidad de separar Iglesia y Estado; trata de la necesidad de separar a los ignorantes y analfabetos científicos de las filas de los profesores.

• at last you, will say (maybe without speaking) (there are mountains inside your skull garden and chaos, ocean and hurricane; certain corners of rooms, portraits of great-grandmothers, curtains of a particular shade; your deserts; your private dinosaurs; the first woman) all i need to know: tell me everything just as it was from the beginning.

• El calentamiento global, junto con la tala y quema de bosques y otros hábitats críticos, está provocando la pérdida de especies vivas a un nivel comparable al de la extinción que acabó con los dinosaurios hace 65 millones de años. Se creía que aquel suceso había sido causado por un asteroide gigante. Esta vez no es un asteroide el que choca con la Tierra y causa estragos: somos nosotros.

• He would not mind hearing Petrus's story one day. But preferably not reduced to English. More and more he is convinced that English is an unfit medium for the truth of South Africa. Stretches of English code whole sentences long have thickened, lost their articulations, their articulateness, their articulatedness. Like a dinosaur expiring and settling in the mud, the language has stiffened. Pressed into the mold of English, Petrus's story would come out arthritic, bygone"(117).

• The Word 'Repulse': I hate this word. I believe 'repel' is a perfectly good word, and 'repulsion' is the noun, as well as the title of an excellent Dinosaur Jr. song. A compulsion compels you; an impulse impels you. Nobody ever says 'compulse' or 'impulse' as a verb. So why would you ever say 'repulse'? This word haunts me in my sleep, like a silver dagger dancing before my eyes. Renee looked it up and I was wrong. But I still kind of think I'm right.

• I think, too, that we've got to recognize that where the preservation of a natural resource like the redwoods is concerned, that there is a common sense limit. I mean, if you've looked at a hundred thousand acres or so of trees-you know, a tree is a tree, how many more do you need to look at?

• The combination of such characters, some, as the sacral ones, altogether peculiar among Reptiles, others borrowed, as it were, from groups now distinct from each other, and all manifested by creatures far surpassing in size the largest of existing reptiles, will, it is presumed, be deemed sufficient ground for establishing a distinct tribe or sub-order of Saurian Reptiles, for which I would propose the name of Dinosauria.

• Veinte siglos de "progreso" han aportado al ciudadano medio un voto, un himno nacional, un Ford, una cuenta bancaria y una elevada opinión de sí mismo, pero no la capacidad de vivir en alta densidad sin ensuciar y denigrar su entorno, ni la convicción de que esa capacidad, y no esa densidad, es la verdadera prueba de que es civilizado.

• This last chapter .. may have given the impression that somehow man is the ultimate triumph of evolution, that all these millions of years of development have had no purpose other than to put him on earth. There is no scientific evidence whatever to support such a view and no reason to suppose that our stay here will be any more permanent than that of the dinosaur.
