• Creo que el problema es este tipo básico de los valores humanos de nuestro - desde el principio, desde el nacimiento, no son una especie de alimentar adecuadamente. Así que nuestra mente, nuestro cerebro, a través de la educación y también la diferencia de experiencias, que con el tiempo, estos valores básicos o lo que se llama dominante, no tienen el ponerse al día nuestra inteligencia, la experiencia de crecimiento, que también debe crecer. Entonces nuestra vida se vuelven más humanos.

• From the moment when a subordinate class becomes really independent and dominant, calling into being a new type of State, the need arises concretely, of building a new intellectual and moral order, i.e. a new type of society, and hence the need to elaborate the most universal concepts, the most refined and decisive ideological weapons.

• Sigo prefiriendo a los filósofos a los rabinos, sacerdotes, imanes, ayatolás y mulás. En lugar de confiar en sus abracadabras teológicas, prefiero recurrir a alternativas a la historiografía filosófica dominante: los risueños materialistas radicales cínicos hedonistas ateos sensualistas voluptuarios. Saben que sólo hay un mundo y que la promoción de una vida después de la muerte nos priva del goce y disfrute del único que hay. Un auténtico pecado mortal.

• Poetry at large in America is naturally a reflection of the American system and culture. That's my possibly narrow view of it, or reductive view. But I think for as many portals for critical consciousness in the poetry world and in the American spirit that exist, there's also an over-arching, dominant mirroring, in poetry, of the corporate structure, the capitalist enterprise.

• Welfare now erodes work and family and thus keeps poor people poor. Accompanying welfare is an ideology - sustaining a whole system of federal and state bureaucracies - that also operates to destroy their faith. The ideology takes the form of false theories of discrimination and spurious claims of racism and sexism as the dominant forces in the lives of the poor.

• [On the ancient Venus figurines:] If the central religious figure was a woman giving birth and not, as in our time, a man dying on a cross, it would not be unreasonable to infer that life and the love of life - rather than death and the fear of death - were dominant in society as well as art.

• Estoy un poco orgulloso de que la radio se haya convertido en una influencia dominante en la formación de la opinión pública. Una buena radio pinta el panorama para la audiencia.

• Coming from the South, I just felt you had to work just a little bit harder. It was not going to be handed to you. I’d get the letters from all the major schools but no one came out to talk to me face to face until this small, dominant black school, Mississippi State Valley University sent a coach out to me. I had a chance to talk to him and he said, ‘Hey Jerry, we’re going to be doing some great things at Mississippi Valley State University and we would love to have you there.’
