• Con nueve grados de calentamiento, los modelos informáticos proyectan que Australia parecerá una película de catástrofes. Los hábitats de la mayoría de los vertebrados desaparecerán. El suministro de agua a la cuenca Murray-Darling se reducirá a la mitad, lo que limitará gravemente la producción de alimentos.

• When you see reference to a new paradigm you should always, under all circumstances, take cover. Because ever since the great tulipmania in 1637, speculation has always been covered by a new paradigm. There was never a paradigm so new and so wonderful as the one that covered John Law and the South Sea Bubble - until the day of disaster.

• No se aprende nada si no es creyendo en algo y, a la inversa, si se duda de todo, no se aprende nada. Por otra parte, creerlo todo acríticamente es el camino al desastre. La facultad de dudar es esencial. Pero, como he argumentado, la duda racional siempre se apoya en la fe y no al revés. La relación entre ambas no puede invertirse.

But most importantly you've let yourself down'.

• Let none falter who thinks he is right, and we may succeed. But if, after all, we shall fail, be it so: we still shall have the proud consolation of saying to our consciences, and to the departed shade of our country's freedom, that the cause approved of our judgment and adored of our hearts, in disaster, in chains, in torture, in death, we never faltered in defending.

• Un rico desafortunado es más capaz de satisfacer sus deseos y de capear el desastre cuando se produce, pero un hombre afortunado está mejor que él... Él es el que merece ser descrito como feliz. Pero hasta que muera, es mejor no llamarle feliz y llamarle afortunado.

• Simplemente no queda espacio para la "libertad frente a la tiranía del gobierno", ya que los habitantes de las ciudades dependen de él para la alimentación, la energía, el agua, el transporte, la protección y el bienestar. Tu derecho a vivir donde quieras, con compañeros de tu elección, bajo leyes con las que estés de acuerdo, murió en el siglo XVIII con el Capitán Mission. Sólo un milagro o una catástrofe podrían restablecerlo.

• The world was arrogant and self-satisfied, but behind all this confidence there was an uneasy sense of impending disaster. The old creeds, both religious and political, were largely in the process of dissolution, but we did not realise the fact, and therefore did not look for new foundations.

• Turned the wrong way around, the relentless unforeseen was what we schoolchildren studied in "History", harmless history, where everything unexpected in its own time is chronicled on the page as inevitable. The terror of the unforeseen is what the science of history hides, turning a disaster into an epic.

• A great many people never really discover themselves until ruin stares them in the face. They do not seem to know how to bring out their reserves until they are overtaken by an overwhelming disaster, or until the sight of their blighted prospects and of the wreck of their homes and happiness stirs them to the very center of their beings.... There is something in defeat which puts new determination into a man of mettle.

• El crecimiento de la población humana es probablemente la amenaza más grave a largo plazo para la supervivencia. Nos espera un desastre de grandes proporciones si no lo frenamos... No tenemos otra opción. Si no se controla voluntariamente, se controlará involuntariamente mediante un aumento de las enfermedades, el hambre y la guerra.

• The times in which we're currently living unfortunately, our great leader [George W. Bush] is such a disaster and the entire country is in disastrous shape because of him. It's very frightening, actually, to think that this country has become what it's become and that so many people voted for a man like that. It's terrifying.

• Saber por qué hay que luchar y contra qué hay que luchar da sentido a la vida y proporciona su propia versión de la disciplina: no rendirse nunca. Ahora creo que ese tipo de sentido es ilusorio y ciego. La lealtad a un absoluto místico es una fórmula para el desastre, especialmente en tiempos de transformación.

• La forma de experimentar la felicidad suprema es dejar de lado todas las preocupaciones y los remordimientos, y saber que ser feliz es el más satisfactorio de los sentimientos de la vida. Reflexiona sobre todos los progresos de tu vida y deja que los pensamientos positivos, creativos y alegres eclipsen y abrumen cualquier pena o dolor que pueda permanecer en los recovecos de tu mente. Saber que la enfermedad y el desastre son partes naturales de la vida es la clave para superar la adversidad con un espíritu tranquilo y feliz. La felicidad te está esperando ahí delante. Sólo tú puedes decidir si decides experimentarla o no. Tómate esto muy en serio.
