• Creemos que hay una lección económica que nuestra experiencia del siglo XX ha demostrado de forma concluyente: que Estados Unidos no puede sobrevivir y crecer sin las grandes empresas, como tampoco puede sobrevivir y crecer sin las pequeñas empresas: ..... Ambas son interdependientes. No se puede fortalecer a una debilitando a la otra, y no se puede aumentar la estatura de un enano cortando las piernas de un gigante.

  Benjamin Franklin Fairless

• Hay estrellas en el cielo nocturno que parecen más brillantes que las demás, y cuando las miras a través de un telescopio te das cuenta de que estás viendo dos gemelas. Las dos estrellas giran una alrededor de la otra, a veces tardando casi cien años en hacerlo. Crean tanta atracción gravitatoria que no hay espacio alrededor para nada más. Por ejemplo, puedes ver una estrella azul y darte cuenta más tarde de que tiene una enana blanca como compañera: la primera brilla tanto que, cuando te das cuenta de la segunda, ya es demasiado tarde.

• Bajo la Montaña oscura y alta ¡El Rey ha llegado a su salón! Su enemigo ha muerto, el Gusano del Terror, y así caerán sus enemigos. La espada es afilada, la lanza es larga, la flecha veloz, la Puerta es fuerte; el corazón es audaz que mira al oro; los enanos no sufrirán más agravios. Los enanos de antaño hacían poderosos hechizos, Mientras los martillos sonaban como campanas En lugares profundos, donde las cosas oscuras duermen, En huecas salas bajo los riscos. -de El Hobbit (Canción de batalla de los enanos)

• en el armario se asienta mi botella como un enano esperando para arañar mis plegarias. Bebo y toso como un idiota en una sinfonía, la luz del sol y los pájaros enloquecidos están por todas partes, el teléfono suena gambeteando su sonido contra las probabilidades del mar torcido; bebo profunda y uniformemente ahora, bebo por el paraíso y la muerte y la mentira del amor.

• There was never any career plan. When 'Red Dwarf' started I thought we were doing a curious little sitcom on BBC2, I didn't think I was becoming an actor. I didn't see that 21 years later I'd still be talking about it, let alone filming a new one. For me everything's always been an accident.

• The dwarves of course are quite obviously, couldn't you say that in many ways they remind you of the Jews? Their words are Semitic obviously, constructed to be Semitic. Hobbits are just rustic English people, made small in size because it reflects (in general) the small reach of their imagination - not the small reach of their courage or latent power.

• I too acknowledge the all-out omnipotence of early culture and nature; hereby we have either a doddered dwarf-bush, or a high-towering, wide-shadowing tree! either a sick yellow cabbage, or an edible luxuriant green one. Of a truth, it is the duty of all men, especially of all philosophers, to note down with accuracy the characteristic circumstances of their education,--what furthered, what hindered, what in any way modified it.

• The Internet will not become a money machine until the banking industry figures out how to transfer money for free so you can charge USD 0.005 (half a cent) for some simple service like, say, reading a newspaper article you have searched for. With today's payment system, the cost of the transfer of the funds completely dwarf the cost of the service paid for. ... This situation, however, is what acutely prevents the Internet from taking off as a network for paid services.

• A giant as we hoped, in truth, a dwarf; A barrel of slop that shines on Lethe's wharf', Which at first seemed a vessel with sweet wine For thirsty lips. So down the swift decline You went through sloven spirit, craven heart And cynic indolence. And here the art Of molding clay has caught you for the nonce And made your shame our shame ~ Your head in bronze!
