• .. it makes sense that introverts are uniquely good at leading intiative-takers. Because of their inclination to listen to others and lack of interest in dominating social situations, introverts are more likely to hear and implement suggestions. Having benefited from the talents of their followers, they are then likely to motivate them to be even more proactive. Introverted leaders create a virtious circle of proactivity.

• Hace mucho tiempo, Anne solía hablar de la energía, de cómo eso era el amor, iones que se conectaban a través de sinapsis de tiempo y aire. No racionalices, decía.

• La vida de "paz" es tanto un viaje interior hacia un corazón desarmado como un viaje público hacia un mundo desarmado.

Con la paz como principio, medio y fin de la vida, la vida tiene sentido.

• The seven of us on board [the Space Shuttle] represented five different religions. But we were all agreed - it just doesn't make sense how people on earth treat each other. It doesn't make any difference what language we speak. It doesn't make any difference what country we come from. It certainly doesn't make any difference what the color of our skin is. We are all children of God traveling on spaceship earth together.

• It is certainly true in the United States that there is an uneasiness about certain aspects of science, particularly evolution, because it conflicts, in some people's minds, with their sense of how we all came to be. But you know, if you are a believer in God, it's hard to imagine that God would somehow put this incontrovertible evidence in front of us about our relationship to other living organisms and expect us to disbelieve it. I mean, that doesn't make sense at all.

• Hay pocas probabilidades de que alienígenas de dos sociedades de cualquier parte de la Galaxia estén lo suficientemente cerca culturalmente como para "llevarse bien". Esto es algo sobre lo que reflexionar cuando se ve la famosa escena de la cantina en La guerra de las galaxias. ... ¿Tiene esto sentido, dada la situación abrumadoramente probable de que las civilizaciones galácticas difieran en su nivel de desarrollo evolutivo en miles o millones de años? ¿Compartirías bebidas con un trilobite, un ourang-outang o un tigre dientes de sable? ¿O se limitaría a disecar algunos especímenes y llevarlos al museo local?

• It's hard for me to congratulate somebody after you just lose to them. I'm a winner. It's not being a poor sport or anything like that. If somebody beats you up, you're not going to congratulate them. That doesn't make sense to me. I'm a competitor.
