• Nobody else even approaches the trumpet like [Sweets Edison] does: Never too much and always plenty. He's the greatest trumpet player to play along with singers. He exactly knows how to play with you, how to answer you about what you just sang ... On top of that, he has some great sense of humor, both as a musician and as a man. Every time I see him, I'm laughing so much. Sweets is impeccable and incomparable.

• Evita relacionarte con caracteres cuyos lados buenos y malos no están mezclados y no han fermentado juntos; se asemejan a frascos de vinagre y aceite; o a paletas cuajadas de colores; o son excelentes en casa e insufribles fuera, o intolerables de puertas adentro y excelentes en público; no son aptos para la amistad, simplemente porque su resistencia, sus ingredientes de carácter son demasiado únicos, demasiado separados; que estén finamente molidos entre sí, y son incomparables.

  Johann Kaspar Lavater

• Nosotros, sin embargo, queremos llegar a ser lo que somos: seres humanos nuevos, únicos, incomparables, que se dan leyes a sí mismos, que se crean a sí mismos. Para ello debemos convertirnos en los mejores aprendices y descubridores de todo lo que es lícito y necesario en el mundo: debemos convertirnos en físicos para poder ser creadores en este sentido--mientras que hasta ahora todas las valoraciones e ideales se basaban en la ignorancia de la física o se construían para contradecirla. Por lo tanto: ¡viva la física! Y más aún lo que nos obliga a recurrir a la física: ¡nuestra honestidad!

  Friedrich Nietzsche

• La Mancomunidad de la Enseñanza no carece en este momento de Maestros Constructores, cuyos poderosos Diseños, en el avance de las Ciencias, dejarán Monumentos duraderos a la Admiración de la Posteridad; Pero cada uno no debe esperar ser un Boyle, o un Sydenham; y en una Edad que produce tales Maestros, como el Gran Huygenius, y el incomparable Mr. Newton, con algunos otros de su misma estirpe, es suficiente ambición ser empleado como sub-trabajador para despejar un poco el terreno y remover algo de la basura que se interpone en el camino del conocimiento.

• For the little that one has reflected on the origin of our knowledge, it is easy to perceive that we can acquire it only by means of comparison. That which is absolutely incomparable is wholly incomprehensible. God is the only example that we could give here. He cannot be comprehended, because he cannot be compared. But all which is susceptible of comparison, everything that we can perceive by different aspects, all that we can consider relatively, can always be judged according to our knowledge.

• Like all people, we perceive the version of reality that our culture communicates. Like others having or living in more than one culture, we get multiple, often opposing messages.

• The Dancer believes that his art has something to say which cannot be expressed in words or in any other way than by dancing... there are times when the simple dignity of movement can fulfill the function of a volume of words. There are movements which impinge upon the nerves with a strength that is incomparable, for movement has power to stir the senses and emotions, unique in itself. This is the dancer's justification for being, and his reason for searching further for deeper aspects of his art.

  Doris Humphrey

• Queda una experiencia de valor incomparable... ver los grandes acontecimientos de la historia del mundo desde abajo; desde la perspectiva de los marginados, los sospechosos, los maltratados, los impotentes, los oprimidos, los vilipendiados ---- en resumen, desde la perspectiva de los que sufren... mirar con ojos nuevos los asuntos grandes y pequeños.
