• Cuando prevalece el orden perfecto, el mundo es como un hogar compartido por todos. Los líderes son capaces y virtuosos. Todos aman y respetan a sus propios padres e hijos, así como a los padres e hijos de los demás. Los ancianos son atendidos, los adultos tienen trabajo, los niños son alimentados y educados. Hay medios de apoyo para todos los discapacitados o los que se encuentran solos en el mundo. Todos tienen un papel adecuado que desempeñar en la familia y la sociedad. La devoción al deber público no deja lugar a la ociosidad. La maquinación para obtener un beneficio ilícito es desconocida. Compartir desplaza al egoísmo y al materialismo.

• When the death of a disabled infant will lead to the birth of another infant with better prospects of a happy life, the total amount of happiness will be greater if the disabled infant is killed. The loss of happy life for the first infant is outweighed by the gain of happier life for the second. Therefore, if killing the hemophiliac infant has no adverse effect on others, it would, according to the total view, be right to kill him.

• Ideas for gadgets for the disabled were coming into my head so fast they seemed to be arriving from somewhere outside of me, beamed down by an unremitting force. I had little control over them, or their flow. I would wake up in the middle of the night. A blinding flash of an idea would rouse me from my bed and I'd rush down to my workshop to have a go at it before the inspiration dimmed.

• Me pregunto si nuestra adopción del Shrink-ese como segunda lengua, el paso de frases religiosas de juicio a palabras seculares de aceptación, no ha producido también una lobotomía moral. En la reticencia, la aversión a juzgar, ¿estamos incapacitados para emitir juicio alguno?

• Postmodernism, the school of 'thought' that proclaimed 'There are no truths, only interpretations' has largely played itself out in absurdity, but it has left behind a generation of academics in the humanities disabled by their distrust of the very idea of truth and their disrespect for evidence, settling for 'conversations' in which nobody is wrong and nothing can be confirmed, only asserted with whatever style you can muster.
