• You know, I once read an interesting book which said that, uh, most people lost in the wilds, they, they die of shame. Yeah, see, they die of shame. 'What did I do wrong? How could I have gotten myself into this?' And so they sit there and they... die. Because they didn't do the one thing that would save their lives. Thinking.

• Hay un libro interesante sobre eso titulado The Third Reich and the Ivory Tower (El Tercer Reich y la Torre de Marfil), escrito por Stephen H. Norwood. En él se habla largo y tendido sobre Harvard y, en efecto, el presidente de la universidad, James Conant, bloqueó al profesorado judío. Fue él quien impidió que los judíos europeos fueran admitidos en el departamento de química -su especialidad- y también mantenía muy buenas relaciones con los nazis.

• No hay nada mejor que el amor. El amor es el mayor poder curativo que existe; no hay nada que se le acerque. Ni las curas antiguas, ni las medicinas y tecnologías modernas, ni todos los libros interesantes que leemos o las cosas sabias que decimos y pensamos. El amor tiene un poder transformador.

• Suppose there were an experience machine that would give you any experience you desired. Superduper neuropsychologists could stimulate your brain so that you would think and feel you were writing a great novel, or making a friend, or reading an interesting book. All the time you would be floating in a tank, with electrodes attached to your brain. Should you plug into this machine for life, preprogramming your life experiences?...Of course, while in the tank you won't know that you're there; you'll think that it's all actually happening...Would you plug in?

• I think the books are the books. They were conceived as books. They weren't conceived as movies. When I write scripts, that's an idea and a situation that I think is a really good idea for a movie. When I'm writing a book, I'm not thinking, "Oh, this would be a great movie." This would be a very interesting book. And I think the books are things that cannot really be adapted into another medium.

• It is so very easy and so very pleasant, too, to read only books which lead to nothing, light and interesting books, and the more the better, that it is almost as difficult to wean ourselves from it as from the habit of chewing tobacco to excess, or of smoking the whole time, or of depending for stimulus upon tea or coffee or spirits.

• I did some reading to prep for Expelled. I read one book cover to cover, From Darwin to Hitler , and that was a very interesting book - one of these rare books I wish had been even longer. It's about how Darwin 's theory - supposedly concocted by this mild-mannered saintly man, with a flowing white beard like Santa Claus - led to the murder of millions of innocent people.
