• Primo Levi es un escritor muy diferente. Es un escritor mucho más formal. Es mucho más... casi indiferente. Quiero decir, yo no diría realmente que es indiferente en última instancia. Pero él escribe como un científico, y por lo que describe las cosas muy - en gran detalle, con mucho cuidado.

• Un grupo de cuatro cardenales escribió a Francisco acusándole de sembrar la confusión en importantes cuestiones morales, y le pidieron aclaraciones. No respondió.

• ... in general, the Anglo-Irish do not make good dancers; they are too spritely and conscious; they are incapable of one kind of trance or of being seemingly impersonal. And, for the formal, pure dance they lack the formality: about their stylishness (for they have stylishness) there is something impromptu, slightly disorderly.

  Elizabeth Bowen

• Normal adults can doodle, amble, and drift with no need to assess risk, since there is normally no risk at all. Jazz improvisation seems less subject to standards of risk than surgery, and less than much formal athletic performance, as in a tennis match.

• When I would present my work as a student, often I would hear, "Your project is too formal" - it's too form-based; it's too form-driven. Which is kind of shocking for a visual practice, for someone to say something discouraging about a focus on an exploration of aesthetics.

• I take it that computational processes are both symbolic and formal. They are symbolic because they are defined over representations, and they are formal because they apply to representations, in virtue of (roughly) the syntax of the representations.

  logrado definir las matemáticas, siempre son algo más.

  axiomas, pruebas, lemas y teoremas no han cambiado desde la época de Arquímedes.

• The question is, how do you stop the power elite from doing as much damage to you as possible? That comes through movements. It's not our job to take power. You could argue that the most powerful political figure in April of 1968 was Martin Luther King. And we know Johnson was terrified of him. We have to accept that all of the true correctives to American democracy came through these movements that never achieved formal political power and yet frightened the political establishment enough to respond.

• In 1985, a group of mujahedeen came to Washington and was greeted by President Reagan, who called them "freedom fighters." These people, by the way, don't represent Islam in any formal sense. They're not imams or sheiks. They are self-appointed warriors for Islam.

• So, some of the most difficult formal poems that I've written, say one sentence sonnets, I've been able to do those fairly quickly whereas some of the clearest, simplest lyrics that I've written have taken me the longest to get to the clarity of feeling that you're looking for.

• La prisión es, literalmente, un gueto en el sentido más clásico de la palabra, un lugar donde el gobierno de EE.UU. ahora pone no sólo a los peligrosos, sino también a los inconvenientes: enfermos mentales, adictos, pobres, sin educación y sin formación. Mientras tanto, el gueto del mundo exterior también es una prisión, y mucho más difícil de escapar que este complejo correccional. De hecho, existe básicamente una puerta giratoria entre nuestros guetos urbanos y rurales y el gueto formal de nuestro sistema penitenciario.

• Fracaso, pues, ¡fracaso! así nos estampa el mundo a cada paso. Lo sembramos con nuestros errores, nuestras fechorías, nuestras oportunidades perdidas, con todos los recuerdos de nuestra inadecuación a nuestra vocación. ¡Y con qué énfasis condenatorio nos borra! Ninguna multa fácil, ninguna mera disculpa o expiación formal, satisfará las exigencias del mundo, sino que cada libra de carne exigida está empapada con toda su sangre. Las formas más sutiles de sufrimiento conocidas por el hombre están conectadas con las venenosas humillaciones incidentales a estos resultados.

• Las piezas móviles en contacto por frotamiento necesitan lubricación para evitar un desgaste excesivo. Los honoríficos y la cortesía formal proporcionan lubricación cuando las personas se rozan. A menudo, los más jóvenes, los que no han viajado, los ingenuos y los sofisticados deploran estas formalidades por considerarlas "vacías", "sin sentido" o "deshonestas", y desdeñan utilizarlas. Por muy "puros" que sean sus motivos, echan arena en una maquinaria que, en el mejor de los casos, no funciona demasiado bien.
