• Mientras me entrevistaba el Wall Street Journal, o algún tipo del gran pub, todo lo que recuerdo es que se fue al baño un momento, y me sacaron la tortilla. Lo siguiente que recuerdo es que me desperté, y estaba al lado de mi propia tortilla, y no había nadie en Buck's. Todo el mundo se había ido. Me dejaron dormir.

  Max Levchin

• Las estadísticas son como las viejas revistas médicas, o como los revólveres en los distritos mineros recién abiertos. La mayoría de los hombres rara vez las utilizan, y les resulta problemático conservarlas para poder acceder a ellas con facilidad; pero cuando las necesitan, las necesitan con urgencia.

• What Grandfather Burton did for me was to write a sacred family record, the small plates of Burton, or, if you will, an inspirational family record. Much of what we now regard as scripture was not anything more or less than men writing of their own spiritual experiences for the benefit of their posterity. These scriptures are family records. Therefore, as a people we ought to write of our own lives and our own experiences to form a sacred record for our descendants. We must provide for them the same uplifting, faith-promoting strength that the ancient scriptures now give us.

• I... recommend to every one of my Readers, the keeping a Journal of their Lives for one Week, and setting down punctually their whole Series of Employments during that Space of Time. This kind of Self-Examination would give them a true State of themselves, and incline them to consider seriously what they are about. One Day would rectifie the Omissions of another, and make a Man weigh all those indifferent Actions, which, though they are easily forgotten, must certainly be accounted for.

• Y cuando una eminencia como la revista Time se queja, como ha hecho a menudo, de que a los jóvenes escritores de hoy en día la vida les parece poco gratificante y que lo que escriben es producto de sus propias neurosis, la revista no hace más que constatar, a su tonta manera, el statu quo y la verdad obvia. La buena escritura de cualquier época siempre ha sido el producto de la neurosis de alguien, y tendríamos una literatura muy aburrida si todos los escritores que surgieran fueran un puñado de cabezas felices.

• I'd been reading Daniel Defoe's Journal of the Plague Year when the [1992 Los Angeles] riots broke out and I began to see them both - L.A. and the London plague - as the same event. A time of crisis. A time when rich and poor get thrown together - and, suddenly one sees alternatives. I began to think about what happens when the containment of a presumed danger through the regimentation of space breaks down, such as when South-Central L.A. began to invade Beverly Hills.

• Your own private journal should record the way you face up to challenges that beset you. Do not suppose life changes so much that your experiences will not be interesting to your posterity. Experiences of work, relations with people, and an awareness of the rightness and wrongness of actions will always be relevant.
