• Puesto que el tiempo es el único objeto inmaterial sobre el que no podemos influir -ni acelerarlo ni ralentizarlo, ni aumentarlo ni disminuirlo-, es un regalo imponderablemente valioso. Cada uno de nosotros dispone de unos minutos al día o de unas horas a la semana que podría donar a una residencia de ancianos o a un hospital infantil. Los ancianos cuyas almohadas rellenamos o cuyas jarras de agua rellenamos pueden o no agradecernos nuestro regalo, pero el regalo es mantener los cimientos del universo.

• A lot of young people regard a threat against one person's sexual freedom as a threat against all of them, and that's absolutely how they should regard it. But it's heartening to look at the polls on young people on gay people, gay marriage, and sexual-freedom issues. They're terrific, and that's why the religious right is so desperately trying to lock in their current bare majority for prejudice: because their constituents are dying. They're losing votes every time the ambulance pulls up to the old folks' home. Let's hope it pulls up a little more frequently.
