• Lo más probable es que necesites un diccionario de sinónimos, un libro de gramática rudimentaria y no perder de vista la realidad. Esto último significa: no hay almuerzo gratis. Escribir es un trabajo. También es un juego. No tienes un plan de pensiones. Otras personas pueden ayudarte un poco, pero básicamente estás solo. Nadie te obliga a hacerlo: tú lo has elegido, así que no te quejes.

• El observador más humilde que va a las minas ve y dice que la extracción de oro tiene el carácter de una lotería; el oro así obtenido no es lo mismo que el salario del trabajo honrado. Pero, en la práctica, olvida lo que ha visto, pues sólo ha visto el hecho, no el principio, y se dedica a comerciar allí, es decir, compra un boleto en lo que comúnmente resulta ser otra lotería, donde el hecho no es tan evidente.

• There is a gambling element to being somebody who is going to take on the job of constantly trying to represent and prop up people who might be somewhat shady. That notion is probably part of how they got the rap. But, I have to find the balance of being colorful, being at times despicable, and also being somebody who does believe in something.

• Our old - fashioned system is better than any new - fangled voting machine. Not only is it guaranteed to work, but there is something I find appealing in putting a mark on a piece of paper for the candidate of your choice, as opposed to pulling a lever as if you were gambling on a slot machine in Las Vegas.

• ...hacer hincapié en el más allá es negar la vida. Concentrarse en el Cielo es crear un infierno. En su desesperado anhelo por trascender el desorden, la fricción y la imprevisibilidad que atormentan la vida; en su deseo de un nuevo comienzo en un hábitat ordenado, libre de gérmenes y asegurado por ángeles, las multitudes religiosas se juegan la única vida que pueden llegar a tener en un caballo negro de una carrera que no tiene línea de meta.

• It is far best for the Christian never to see some things, so he will never want them. The old-fashioned Christian who will not have playing cards in his house will never learn to gamble with them. One who never sees, in movies and night clubs or elsewhere, half-clothed girls, drinking, smoking, gambling, petting, making love to many men, is likely to miss being led into that kind of life by these sirens of sin. It is the Devil's game to make people think it necessary for people to "know the ways of the world.

• Everyone has addictions and my problem is that I have 5,000 of them. If it's not drinking, it's gambling; if it's not gambling, it's eating anything from burgers, doughnuts to M&Ms. The only addiction I don't suffer from is chasing women.

• Empiezas a hacer el comportamiento adictivo para sentirte bien y entonces tus receptores se sobrecargan con dopamina, entonces dejas de hacer la cosa adictiva y algunos de los receptores se han apagado y no tienes suficiente dopamina para sentirte bien. Entonces te sientes mal y vuelves al comportamiento adictivo para conseguir más dopamina. Lo extraño es que funciona con lo que consideramos "uppers" y "downers" o como se llamen los juegos de azar: "sidewaysers".
