• Se ha informado de que estuve gravemente enfermo... fue otro hombre; moribundo... fue otro hombre; muerto... el otro hombre otra vez... Por lo que veo, no queda nada por informar, excepto que me he convertido en extranjero. Cuando lo oigas, no lo creas. Y no te tomes la molestia de negarlo. Basta con izar la bandera americana en nuestra casa de Hartford y dejarla hablar.

• If I had not grown up in Nigeria- and if all I knew of Africa were of popular images- I too would think that africa was a place of beautiful landscapes, beautiful animals and incomprehensible people fighting sensless wars, dying of poverty and aids- unable to speak for themselves and waiting to be saved by a kind white foreigner.

• Cuando el niño ha llegado a la edad adulta está completamente saturado de la creencia de que ha sido elegido por el Señor mismo para defender a su país contra el ataque o la invasión de cualquier extranjero.

• Muchos extranjeros me han preguntado cómo hicimos el estilo danés. Y yo he respondido que... fue más bien un proceso continuo de purificación, y para mí de simplificación, para reducirlo a los elementos más simples posibles de cuatro patas, un asiento y una barra superior y un reposabrazos combinados.

• Gore said foreigners are not worried about 'what the terrorist networks are going to do, but about what we're going to do.' Good. They should be worried. They hate us? We hate them. Americans don't want to make Islamic fanatics love us. We want to make them die. There's nothing like horrendous physical pain to quell anger. Japanese Kamikazes pilots hated us once, too. A couple of well-aimed nuclear weapons got their attention. Now they are gentle little lambs.

• No decimos, por ejemplo, que la persona tiene un conocimiento perfecto de alguna lengua L similar al inglés pero aún diferente de él. Lo que decimos es que el niño o el extranjero tiene un "conocimiento parcial del inglés" o está "en camino" de adquirir el conocimiento del inglés, y si alcanza esta meta, entonces sabrá inglés.

• You took a walk on a Sunday afternoon and came to a nice neighborhood, very refined. You saw a small one of these trees through the iron gate leading to someone's yard and you knew that soon that section of Brooklyn would get to be a tenement district. The tree knew. It came there first. Afterwards, poor foreigners seeped in and the quiet old brownstone houses were hacked up into flats, feather beds were pushed out on the window sills to air and the Tree of Heaven flourished. That was the kind of tree it was. It liked poor people.

• Absorber capital y tecnología extranjeros e incluso permitir que los extranjeros construyan plantas en China sólo puede desempeñar un papel complementario a nuestro esfuerzo por desarrollar las fuerzas productivas en una sociedad socialista. Por supuesto, esto traerá a China algunas influencias capitalistas decadentes. Somos conscientes de esta posibilidad; no hay nada que temer.

• While certain coastal cities have become very prosperous, the rest of China has a per capita income of $200 a year. The coast wants to have nothing to do with the interior; it wants to work with Tokyo and New York. This is an old story in China. It is why Mao succeeded in 1927. He wanted [coastal] Shanghai to throw the foreigners out, but Shanghai was doing too well financially [to expel foreigners]. So Mao went to the interior and raised a peasant army. He came back to Shanghai and sealed off the country.

• Dictatorial regimes often manage to keep themselves in power because they are recognized by foreigners as representing the state and its people, and therefore as entitled to sell the country's natural resources and to borrow money in its people's name. These privileges conferred by foreigners keep autocrats in power despite the fact that they were not elected and do not rule in the interest of the population.

• What people in the U.S. have to understand is that there is sometimes a deep political content in my work that's rooted in the postwar reconfiguration in Europe. I'm still a foreigner in America. I'm someone who's bringing nuanced stories from somewhere else that will always be harder to take.
