• To fix the business, to bring it back to health, you must assimilate enough of the disruptive innovation to modernize the operating model without jettisoning your business model. This typically requires new leaders and definitely requires new (if temporary) rules. The CEO is the only person who can dictate the correct terms in a timely manner and maintain the enterprise's commitment to those terms for the duration of the rehabilitation effort.

• El tiempo es sólo una ilusión producida por la sucesión de nuestros estados de conciencia a medida que viajamos a través de la duración eterna, y no existe donde no hay conciencia en la que pueda producirse la ilusión; sino que "yace dormido".

• La felicidad, como la salud, es probablemente también sólo un accidente pasajero. Durante un momento o dos el organismo se irrita tan poco que no es consciente de ello; mientras dura ese momento es feliz. Así, un cerdo es siempre más feliz que un hombre, y un bacilo es más feliz que un cerdo...

• The lover of photography is fascinated both by the instant and by the past. The moment captured in the image is of near-zero duration and is located in a ever-receding then. At the same time, the spectator's now, the moment of looking at the image, has no fixed duration. It can be extended as long as fascination lasts and endlessly reiterated as long as curiosity returns.

• El fotógrafo procede, por mediación del objetivo, a un punto en el que toma literalmente una huella luminosa, un molde... [Pero] el cine realiza la paradoja de amoldarse al tiempo del objeto y de tomar también la huella de su duración.

• Beware leverage in all its forms. Borrowers - individual, corporate, or government - should always match fund their liabilities against the duration of their assets. Borrowers must always remember that capital markets can be extremely fickle, and that it is never safe to assume a maturing loan can be rolled over. Even if you are unleveraged, the leverage employed by others can drive dramatic price and valuation swings; sudden unavailability of leverage in the economy may trigger an economic downturn.

• Verás en esto mi noción de las buenas obras, que estoy lejos de esperar merecer el cielo por ellas. Por cielo entendemos un estado de felicidad, infinito en grado y eterno en duración. No puedo hacer nada para merecer tal recompensa... Aun los placeres imperfectos y mezclados que disfrutamos en este mundo, son más bien de la bondad de Dios que de nuestro mérito, ¡cuánto más tal felicidad del cielo!

• Fortunes are made, and disappear, over the lifetime of a single generation. Today, a person in essence takes his wealth from society just for the duration of his or her lifetime. The next generation has to create it anew.

• La vida va a ser un constante quitar capas, un constante desaprender lo que nos han enseñado o creemos que es verdad. Creo que he llegado a un acuerdo con el hecho de que eso va a suceder durante toda mi vida. Me siento muy bien siendo capaz de mirarme a la cara y decir: "Oh, ¿quién eres ahora?". Y eso podría cambiar.
