• I think one of the big errors people are making right now is thinking that old-style businesses will be obsolete, when actually they will be an important part of this new civilization. Some retail groups are introducing e-commerce and think that the bricks are no longer useful. But they will continue to be important.

• Si las desventajas de la esclavitud no fueran demasiado obvias para necesitarlo, podría enumerar y describir la tediosa serie de calamidades inseparables de ella. Podría demostrar que es fatal para la religión y la moral; que tiende a degradar la mente y a corromper sus más nobles fuentes de acción. Podría demostrar que relaja los tendones de la industria, corta las alas del comercio e introduce la miseria y la indigencia en todas sus formas.

• Hay demasiadas personas para que pensemos en cada una de ellas durante nuestra corta estancia en la tierra, como los miles de libros de una biblioteca que no tenemos tiempo de leer en una tarde. Pero esto no es excusa para dejar de hojear. Porque, de vez en cuando, encontramos ese libro que nos llega a lo más profundo y nos presenta a nosotros mismos. Y, en la historia de otro, llegamos a comprender la nuestra.

• Sé ordinario, pero aporta una cualidad de conciencia a tu vida ordinaria. Trae a Dios a tu vida ordinaria introduce a Dios en tu vida ordinaria. Duerme, come, ama, reza, medita, pero no pienses que estás haciendo algo especial, y entonces serás especial.

• Some people flinch when you talk about art in the context of the needs of society thinking you are introducing something far too common for a discussion of art. Why should art have a purpose and a use? Art shouldn't be concerned with purpose and reason and need, they say. These are improper. But from the very beginning, it seems to me, stories have indeed been meant to be enjoyed, to appeal to that part of us which enjoys good form and good shape and good sound.

• ¿De qué hablarían? Hola, me llamo Vane y aúllo a la luna a altas horas de la noche en forma de lobo. Duermo con tu hija y creo que no podría vivir sin ella. ¿Te importa si me tomo una cerveza? Ah y ya que estamos, déjame presentarte a mis hermanos. Este de aquí es un lobo mortal conocido por matar por nada más que mirarlo bizco, y el otro está comatoso porque unos vampiros le chuparon la vida después de que ambos fuéramos sentenciados a muerte por nuestro celoso padre. Sí, eso caería como un globo de plomo.

• Uno de los grandes secretos de la época es saber apoderarse de los prejuicios y las pasiones populares, de tal manera que se introduzca una confusión de principios que haga imposible todo entendimiento entre quienes hablan el mismo idioma y tienen los mismos intereses.

• Taking ideas seriously does not fit with the rhetorical style of textbooks, which presents events so as to make them seem foreordained along a line of constant progress. Including ideas would make history contingent: things could go either way, and have on occasion. The 'right' people, armed with the 'right' ideas, have not always won. When they didn't, the authors would be in the embarrassing position of having to disapprove of an outcome in the past. Including ideas would introduce uncertainty. This is not textbook style.

• And then they would watch her closely as the dark, coagulated masses took form before her eyes, became flesh and bone, became gradually human.

• What I love about the 'Alien' franchise is I would do all kinds of films - dramas, comedies, whatever - and every now and then I'd be in this science fiction blockbuster that would re-introduce the character and me to a lot of audiences around the world and allow me to go back and do the smaller films again, so it was really a good balance for me.

• There's always a price you pay when you lie. Once you introduce a lie into a relationship, even for the best of intentions, it is always there. Whenever you’re with that person again, that lie is in the room too. It sits on your shoulder. Good lie or bad lie, it's in the room with you forever now. It's your constant companion.

• Pasé por una fase en la que la gente me presentaba en las fiestas como dibujante, y todo el mundo se compadecía de mí. Matt es dibujante'. Luego, la gente seguía compadeciéndose de mí y me pedía que dibujara a Garfield. Como soy dibujante, dibuja a Snoopy o a Garfield o algo así.

• As a reporter, you know the tropes of how stories on poverty work in any country. A reporter will go to an NGO and say, "Tell me about the good work that you're doing and introduce me to the poor people who represent the kind of help you give." It serves to streamline the storytelling, but it gives you a lopsided cosmos in which almost every poor person you read about is involved with a NGO helping him. Our understanding of poverty and how people escape from poverty, in any country, is quite distorted.

• I'm going to introduce you to a revolutionary thought - you can go slower and get there quicker. And that's to do with flow. As soon as you made it two lanes and brought in the 70 (mph) and 50 (mph), you got there quicker. It meant the flow of the traffic was better, there were less accidents, less deaths, I think that's an important factor.

• La especie humana se encuentra ahora en un punto en el que tiene que tomar decisiones que van a determinar si es siquiera posible una supervivencia decente. La catástrofe medioambiental, incluida la guerra, tal vez las pandemias, son cuestiones muy serias y no pueden abordarse dentro de la estructura actual de las instituciones. Eso es casi un hecho. Tiene que haber cambios realmente significativos, y sólo los movimientos populares de masas realmente eficaces pueden introducir y llevar adelante tales iniciativas, como de hecho ocurrió durante la década de 1930.
