• I'm more than ever of the opinion that a decent human existence is possible today only on the fringes of society, where one then runs the risk of starving or being stoned to death. In these circumstances, a sense of humor is a great help.

• But there were alternative media outlets. Oh sure, and you know who listens to them? Pansy, overeducated know-it-alls, and you know who listens to them? Nobody! Who's going to care about some PBS-NPR fringe minority that's out of touch with the mainstream? The more those elitist eggheads shouted "The Dead Are Walking," the more most real Americans tuned them out.

  Max Brooks

• A veces llevaba unos Levi's con flecos de gamuza blanca cosidos por las piernas y un tocado indio de plumas; otras, vestidos antiguos de tafetán de los años cincuenta cubiertos de poesía escrita con purpurina, o vestidos hechos con sábanas infantiles estampadas con cerditos rosas o personajes de Disney.

• You know obviously a big TV or film break would be lovely, but I find that I’m essentially a theatre trained actor and that’s what I love doing. I love fringe theatres in London, I love theatres like the Royal Court, Soho and the National obviously and if I could work in any of those and be a jobbing actor for a while then I’m very lucky.

• Juanita Rose Violini's Almanac of the Infamous, the Incredible and the Ignored is delightfully odd, wonderfully weird, and anything but normal. Filled with historical curiosities and esoteric advice, the book explains legends, the paranormal, and the people who experience the fringe. Have fun, but don't get too close this book may be contagious.

• Aunque hoy en día es más fácil encontrar información, también es más fácil que nunca encontrar desinformación, pseudohechos, opiniones sin fundamento y marginales, y cosas por el estilo. Hay que enseñar a los niños a una edad temprana lo que constituye una prueba, cómo detectar sesgos o distorsiones en las crónicas de los periódicos y que existen jerarquías de fuentes de información. En el campo de la medicina, por ejemplo, un experimento controlado publicado en una revista revisada por pares es mejor fuente que un blog de la Asociación de Cultivadores de Ginseng, promocionando los beneficios para la salud de su propio producto.

• The language of commerce has been engineered to describe the overt purpose of a thing, but cannot encompass fringe benefits or peripheral pleasures. It weighs the obvious against what in its terms are incomprehensible. When I drive from here to there, speed, privacy, control, and safety are easy to claim. When I walk, what happens is more vague, more ambiguous-and in many circumstances much richer. I am out in the world. It's exercise, though not so quantifiably as on a treadmill in a gym with a digital readout.

• When you have a liberal class that no longer functions, when those people who traditionally defend and care about a civil society no longer do so, then you cede power to very frightening, deformed figures, all of which we are watching leap up around the fringes of our political establishment - this lunatic fringe, which has largely taken over the Republican Party.

• Look carefully through all the claims pressing upon you in your complicated life, and decide once and for all what it is that is the one really important and overmastering duty in it, and should be the one dominating aim. Then remember that if you succeed in that, the others, so multifarious, are really no more than the fringe of the garment, and that you need not spend so much anxiety over them, provided that the one most important is faithfully attended to.

• The idea of the Overton Window of using people on the political fringe to change the terms of acceptable debate, that`s an idea that`s been hugely influential in conservative politics since Joseph P. Overton thought it up, making radical ideas seem acceptable by advocating for the unthinkable.

• Los escritores somos ante todo observadores. Nos perdemos en la observación y luego en la narración del mundo que encontramos. A menudo nos sentimos al margen, en los márgenes de la vida. Y ahí es donde pertenecemos. No se puede observar aquello de lo que se forma parte.

• Thanh Hoa itself is a rich agricultural province. Rice fields, a pattern of many shades of green, stretch far into the distance along the road, which also winds through foothills and the fringes of heavy jungle where tigers are said to roam. The vegetation, wild or cultivated, is lush.

• I've always been interested in queerness and underground and fringe and periphery, and who and what flourishes in those spaces. Those spaces that are darker and dingier and more dangerous, more lonely. What comes out of there, to me, is the life force. I'm excited when the center reaches over to those places and pulls inspiration from them, and translates it for a lot of people.

• La ciudad de New York es como una enorme ciudadela, una moderna Carcassonne. Caminando entre los magníficos rascacielos uno siente la presencia al margen de una muchedumbre aullante y enfurecida, una muchedumbre con los estómagos vacíos, una muchedumbre sin afeitar y en harapos.

• I've gotten death threats, yes. I have. I think anytime you shine a spotlight on homosexuality or minorities and you try and say they are as normal or as worthy as acceptance as others, the people who are on the fringe don't like that and they will come after you. And they have come after me.

• No siempre hay que utilizar la música para expresar ideas inherentes a la pantalla. Puede que quieras trabajar más en los márgenes de la historia, y trabajar más con el subtexto, y añadir más profundidad a la historia mediante el uso de la música.

• Nature seemed to have adorned herself for our departure with a profusion of fringes and curls, mingled with the bright tints of flowers, reflected in the water. But we missed the white water-lily, which is the queen of river flowers, its reign being over for this season.... Many of this species inhabit our Concord water.
