• Science has a culture that is inherently cautious and that is normally not a bad thing. You could even say conservative, because of the peer review process and because the scientific method prizes uncertainty and penalises anyone who goes out on any sort of a limb that is not held in place by abundant and well-documented evidence.

• Only he who can view his own past as an abortion sprung from compulsion and need can use it to full advantage in the present.

  Walter Benjamin

• Such young men are often awkward, ungainly, and not yet formed in their gait; they straggle with their limbs, and are shy; words do not come to them with ease, when words are required, among any but their accustomed associates. Social meetings are periods of penance to them, and any appearance in public will unnerve them. They go much about alone, and blush when women speak to them. In truth, they are not as yet men, whatever the number may be of their years; and, as they are no longer boys, the world has found for them the ungraceful name of hobbledehoy.

• He aquí una de mis teorías sobre la felicidad: no podemos saber si hemos vivido una vida verdaderamente feliz hasta el final. Este punto de vista sobre la vida y la muerte se vio reforzado por el hecho de haber presenciado de cerca los preparativos de la muerte de Philip Gould. Philip era sin duda mi mejor amigo en política. Cuando murió, sentí como si hubiera perdido un miembro.

• Mi señor, y señora, exponer Lo que debe ser la majestad, lo que es el deber, Por qué el día es día, la noche noche, y el tiempo es tiempo, No sería más que perder la noche, el día y el tiempo. Por lo tanto, ya que la brevedad es el alma del ingenio, Y el tedio las extremidades y florituras externas, Seré breve.
