• I really believe that an awakening, a greater perspective on our lives and existence is happening. It's really the firing of archetypes that are already built into our brains, we just are able to awaken to a point where we can see a greater beauty in the world, a greater connection and sense of well being. This is what the mystics speak about. The insights fire us up into a greater consciousness on the planet. So it is a greater consciousness at the same time and a greater awareness of our spiritual nature. That is what the 'aha' is.

• El armamento debería ser una ilegalidad en todas partes, y algún tipo de fuerza internacional debería patrullar un mundo sujeto a tratados. El armamento parcial es uno de esos absurdos queridos por los hombres "razonables" de mentalidad moderada. El armamento en sí mismo es hacer la guerra. Fabricar un arma, apuntarla y dispararla son actos del mismo orden. Debería ser ilegal construir en cualquier lugar de la tierra cualquier mecanismo con el propósito específico de matar hombres. Cuando uno ve un arma, es razonable preguntarse: "¿A quién pretende matar?".

• In truth a clear-headed physicalist shouldn't be thinking any of these dualist thoughts. If pains are one and the same as C-fibres firing, then there really isn't any possibility of having 'one' without the 'other'. Once you properly appreciates physicalism, this dissociation should cease to appear possible - C-fibres with pains should strike you as no more possible than squares without rectangles.

• También he sido atacado por mis oponentes como alguien que pretende purgar las facultades universitarias de profesores izquierdistas. Esto es falso.

• De hecho, la historia temprana del diseño de cohetes podría leerse como el simple deseo de conseguir que el cohete funcionara el tiempo suficiente para tener la oportunidad de descubrir dónde se produjo el fallo.
