• Siempre me ha fascinado ver cómo mi familia, tres hermanas y un hermano, crecía básicamente en la misma situación y cómo cada uno era totalmente diferente y tomaba rumbos completamente distintos. Pero para mí entrar en el psicoanálisis de manera realmente constante, sería poner demasiada energía en tratar de averiguar por qué soy como soy... Básicamente así es como soy y está bien y no quiero saber por qué soy así.

• Cuento esta anécdota en tono irónico al principio de mi libro William Burroughs and the Secret of Fascination, pero mi relación académica con Burroughs se debió enteramente a mi tutor en Oxford, Peter Conrad. Estaba discutiendo con él la idea de quedarme para hacer un postgrado y cuando mencioné el nombre de Burroughs en la conversación... bueno, él lo dejó caer estrepitosamente al suelo y se persignó como si estuviera ahuyentando a un espíritu maligno. Como, en cualquier caso, yo era muy ambivalente respecto a una carrera académica, eso me decidió.

• I'd once been fascinated by his legend - all the stories I'd heard before I met him. Now I can feel that same sense of fascination returning. I picture his face, so beautiful even after pain and torture and grief, his blue eyes bright and sincere. I'm ashamed to admit that I enjoyed my brief time with him in his prison cell. His voice can make me forget about all the details running through my mind, bringing with it emotions of desire, or fear instead, sometimes even anger, but always triggering something. Something that wasn't there before.

• In a way, there's nothing more intimate than a piece of jewelry. A painting is hung on somebody's wall. You put a piece of furniture in your home. But jewelry is worn by a person, so there is a fascination with the history of a piece.

• I think women have brought a lot of life back to the sport-first, because a lot of people doubted women could actually do it well. Two, part of it is that old fascination some people have in watching athletes risk injury to win.

• I can watch anybody all day long if they're really doing what they're doing. I have a fascination with human behavior, watching people talk, when they pick at their face or how they hold their hand or if they're listening to you, if they're not listening to you.

• I can think of very few science books I've read that I've called useful. What they've been is wonderful. They've actually made me feel that the world around me is a much fuller, much more wonderful, much more awesome place than I ever realized it was. That has been, for me, the wonder of science. That's why science fiction retains its compelling fascination for people. That's why the move of science fiction into biology is so intriguing. I think that science has got a wonderful story to tell.

• What I can't completely understand is most other people's fascination with what the famous among us do with their lips and the rest of their bodies. Why do ordinary people become the target of this curiosity simply by virtue of the fact that other people recognize their names and faces but know nothing else about them? Why do we care what they think, what they wear, what they eat?

• Growing up in New Orleans, my mom and dad were churchgoers. I would go to church with them. Also, I was going to a Catholic school so I had a fascination with the Catholic Church mainly because, in my mind, (their services) didn't take as long. I was bouncing in between my mom's Baptist church, which was called Second Zion Baptist, and going to a Catholic Church.

• From my student days I found him a compelling and fascinating, though often puzzling, figure. It's a lifelong fascination now and I don't expect that to stop! His vision of God, God's faithfulness, God's purposes and so on is so much bigger and richer than almost any subsequent Christian thinker has ever managed. In addition, I have always loved ancient history, especially the history of the early Roman empire, and of course Paul fits right into that.

• Ni por un momento cometas el error de despreciar los westerns. Son arte, me refiero a los buenos. Tratan de la vida, de la muerte súbita, de la lucha primitiva y de las emociones básicas: amor, odio e ira. Tendremos películas del Oeste mientras las cámaras sigan girando. La fascinación que ejerce el Viejo Oeste nunca morirá. Y mientras la gente quiera pagar para verme actuar, seguiré haciendo westerns hasta el día de mi muerte.

• By all odds, earliest man, so naked to the elements and to deadly enemies, should have existed in a state of constant shock. We find him instead the only lighthearted being in a deadly serious universe.... He alone, with childish carelessness, tinkered and played, and exerted himself more in the pursuit of superfluities than of necessities. Yet the tinkering and playing, and the fascination with the nonessential, were a chief source of the inventiveness which enabled man to prevail over better-equipped and more-purposeful animals.

• Fantasy consists in a morbid fascination with unrealities, which secretly transforms itself into a desire to make them real. Imagination is a form of intellectual control, which presents us with the image of unrealities in order that we should understand and feel distanced from them. In imagination we dominate; in fantasy, we are dominated.

• What I find difficult about Buddhism, though it is also one of its significant fascinations, is the focus on what is immediately and physically present. To me, this seems a denial of the imagination, and the imagination is very important to me.
