• Más bien un fin en el horror, que un horror sin fin. No podía condenar principios que quizá tuviera que invocar y aplicar más tarde. El lobo no puede evitar haber sido creado por Dios tal como es, pero le disparamos igualmente si tenemos que hacerlo. El gran jugador en la diplomacia, como en el ajedrez, se hace la pregunta, ¿esto me mejora?, no mira los posibles beneficios marginales Si no puedes tener lo que te gusta, te debe gustar lo que tienes.

• Although it has been fashionable to deny it, anti-slavery doctrines began to appear in Christian theology soon after the decline of Rome and were accompanied by the eventual disappearance of slavery in all but the fringes of Christian Europe. When Europeans subsequently instituted slavery in the New World, they did so over strenuous papal opposition, a fact that was conveniently 'lost' from history until recently. Finally, the abolition of New World slavery was initiated and achieved by Christian activists.

• Going out to others in order to reach the fringes of humanity does not mean rushing out aimlessly into the world. Often it is better simply to slow down, to put aside our eagerness in order to see and listen to others, to stop rushing from one thing to another and to remain with someone who has faltered along the way.

• Un autor que describa los métodos de la agricultura intensiva, o los excesos de la caza deportiva, o incluso los usos más crueles de los animales en la ciencia, escribe con la seguridad de que la mayoría de los lectores compartirán su sentimiento de preocupación e indignación. Hacer un llamamiento a la acción -convencer a la gente de que el cambio no sólo es necesario, sino realmente posible- es más problemático. Para proteger a los animales de la crueldad, siempre hay que dar un paso de la corriente dominante a la marginal. Condenar el mal es obvio, sugerir su abolición es radical.

• Why has America's fringe left been making common cause with the Taliban, whose views on such matters as women's rights and separation of church and state are appallingly retrograde by anyone's standards? One reason may be that the Taliban seem to have mastered the language of victimhood, sounding like denizens of some college ethnic-studies department.

• I was incredibly intimidated playing Lincoln Lee in the alternate universe, which was the first role I played on 'Fringe' because I was actually the head of a Fringe division and the head of a unit that was going out and I had to lead entire SWAT teams of people. I really questioned in myself, 'Can I carry that responsibility?

• No haber visto nunca más que la zona templada es haber vivido al margen del mundo. Entre el trópico de Capricornio y el trópico de Cáncer viven la mayoría de las especies vegetales, la inmensa mayoría de los insectos, la mayoría de los extraños cuadrúpedos, todas las serpientes grandes y venenosas y los grandes lagartos, la mayoría de los peces marinos de colores brillantes y las aves más extrañas y de plumaje más hermoso.

• En Francia, por ejemplo, no es raro que un marido tenga una esposa y una amante. Sin embargo, si además de estas dos, también tiene una aventura con una chica con flequillo, tanto la esposa como la amante se indignan y la combinación de amante, marido y tramposo puede acabar con un gran cuchillo de pan francés entre las costillas.

• Nothing in life is certain except death, taxes and the second law of thermodynamics. All three are processes in which useful or accessible forms of some quantity, such as energy or money, are transformed into useless, inaccessible forms of the same quantity. That is not to say that these three processes don't have fringe benefits: taxes pay for roads and schools; the second law of thermodynamics drives cars, computers and metabolism; and death, at the very least, opens up tenured faculty positions.
