• Outside observers often assume that the more complicted a piece of mathematics is, the more mathematicians admire it. Nothing could be further from the truth. Mathematicians admire elegance and simplicity above all else, and the ultimate goal in solving a problem is to find the method that does the job in the most efficient manner. Though the major accolades are given to the individual who solves a particular problem first, credit (and gratitude) always goes to those who subsequently find a simpler solution.

• My general impression about people like Steve Gould and Carl Sagan and so on is that when they disappear as individuals and are no longer appearing on the stage and they are no longer writing, that their lifetime of acknowledgement by the general reading public is not very long... There were many people in the 19th century who were equally famous people who gave working man's lectures, supporters of Darwin, we as scholars know their names but the general public never heard of them.

• Nonfiction narratives are really powerful and valid in themselves. But one thing that you don't get sometimes from the more clinical or academic books or nonfiction books is that you don't get to hear the person's voice; you don't get them as individuals. You get a few quotes and you hear them as sort of a case study: numbers, examples, anecdotes, maybe a paragraph here, and that's about it.

• Me interesaba descubrir más cosas sobre [Elizabeth Taylor], y siempre he intentado centrarme más en la mujer que en la leyenda o el icono, y en la versión individual de cada uno. Era una mujer increíble. Muy fuerte. Y excéntrica y ardiente y poderosa y clara y contundente. Hablaba como un marinero. Era extrema, pero tenía la capacidad de amar una y otra y otra vez y seguir creyendo en ello cada vez.

• Radical militant feminist believes that women of color and Black women in particular have written the cutting edge theory and really were the individuals who exploded feminist theory into the directions that has made it more powerful. So I see us as the leaders not just of Black people and Black women in terms of feminism but in terms of the movement as a whole.

• It is not the right of property which is protected, but the right to property. Property, per se, has no rights; but the individual - the man - has three great rights, equally sacred from arbitrary interference: the right to his life, the right to his liberty, the right to his property The three rights are so bound together as to be essentially one right. To give a man his life but to deny him his liberty, is to take from him all that makes his life worth living. To give him his liberty but take from him the property which is the fruit and badge of his liberty is to still leave him a slave.

• Y hubo un efecto más profundo y menos visible del programa de lealtad de Truman. Al ver sus consecuencias para ciertos individuos y temer su intrusión en sus propias vidas, muchos miembros del gobierno buscaron protección afirmando enérgicamente su anticomunismo. En la acción pública que siguió, la política no se basó en la realidad sino, instintiva o deliberadamente, en la cautela personal... Aquellos que instaban a un anticomunismo militante y a veces militar eran considerados sólidos, dignos de confianza y personalmente seguros; aquellos que cuestionaban tal curso de acción eran políticamente inseguros, posiblemente incluso ligeramente desleales.

  John Kenneth Galbraith
