• It is not the weariness of mortality, but the strength of divinity, which we have to recognize in all mighty things; and that is just what we now never recognize, but think that we are to do great things by help of iron bars and perspiration.

• Familiarity with any great thing removes our awe of it. The great general is only terrible to the enemy; the great poet is frequently scolded by his wife; the children of the great statesman clamber about his knees with perfect trust and impunity; the great actor who is called before the curtain by admiring audiences is often waylaid at the stage door by his creditors.

• La mayoría de nosotros nos sentimos, en cierto modo, como caballos de carreras mordiendo el anzuelo, presionando en la puerta, esperando y rezando para que alguien abra la puerta y nos deje salir corriendo. Sentimos tanta energía reprimida, tanto talento encerrado. Sabemos en nuestro corazón que hemos nacido para hacer grandes cosas, y sentimos un profundo temor a desperdiciar nuestras vidas. Pero la única persona que puede liberarnos somos nosotros mismos. La mayoría de nosotros lo sabemos. Nos damos cuenta de que la puerta cerrada es nuestro propio miedo.

  Marianne Williamson

• Playing with guns you revert to a little boy sometimes. But they're not great things to play with, so it's just making them look real. When it comes to shooting guns or using any prop, you've got to make it look like you know what you're doing with them. It's called acting.

• If an open source product gets good enough, we'll simply take it. So the great thing about open source is nobody owns it - a company like Oracle is free to take it for nothing, include it in our products and charge for support, and that's what we'll do. So it is not disruptive at all - you have to find places to add value. Once open source gets good enough, competing with it would be insane. We don't have to fight open source, we have to exploit open source.

• Una de las grandes ventajas del libre mercado es que es inherente e infatigablemente darwinista. Dejado a su suerte, un mercado libre acabará eliminando a los estúpidos de ambos extremos de la cadena alimentaria, también conocida como oferta y demanda. A medida que el dinero se libera de las manos de los estúpidos, los que venden productos o servicios a los estúpidos acaban perdiendo su cuota de mercado. Desprovisto de cualquier interferencia "benévola" del gobierno, el proceso es gloriosamente implacable, y no puede evitar producir una clase sucesivamente más inteligente de participantes.

• The bible is very resonant. It has everything, creation, betrayal, lust, poetry, prophecy, sacrifice. All great things are in the bible and all great writers have drawn from it and more than people realise, whether Shakespeare, Herman Melville or Bob Dylan. Of course there are stories that are still relevant and inspiring; lessons that need to be taught over and over again. And they give people hope.

  Patti Smith
