• [Animar al mundo musulmán, y en particular al mundo árabe musulmán, que es el corazón de la amenaza terrorista global, a adoptar formas democráticas y a hacer brillar la luz de la libertad en su cultura de oscuridad medieval es una necesidad pragmática para la seguridad futura del mundo civilizado.

• Siempre he visto esta superposición entre la guerra medieval y el heavy metal. Ves a cantantes de heavy metal que llevan una especie de corsé en el brazo y cantan sobre orcos. Así que vamos a hacer un mundo donde todo eso sucede. Que todo se junte, el heavy metal, el rock y las batallas, que realmente ocurran. No coqueteemos con esto, hagámoslo.

• Las tecnologías que han tenido efectos más profundos en la vida humana suelen ser sencillas. Un buen ejemplo de tecnología sencilla con profundas consecuencias históricas es el heno. Nadie sabe quién inventó el heno, la idea de cortar hierba en otoño y almacenarla en cantidades suficientes para mantener vivos a caballos y vacas durante el invierno. Lo único que sabemos es que la tecnología del heno era desconocida en el Imperio Romano, pero sí en todos los pueblos de la Europa medieval. Como muchas otras tecnologías de importancia crucial, el heno surgió de forma anónima durante la llamada Edad Media.

• The fellows who amuze me are the Albanians. An Albanian on the mash is almost exactly like the medieval swells of the Italian frescoes & the first ones we met quite startled us. They wear the tight-fitting trunk hose made of woolen stuff hooked up the back of the leg. It is white with long black stripes of embroidery down the leg & at the top in front the shirt is pulled through slashes. They are long slim chaps with dandy little moustaches & are most theatrical in effect.

• In the medieval tradition, Beksinski seems to believe art to be a forewarning about the fragility of the flesh– whatever pleasures we know are doomed to perish– thus, his paintings manage to evoke at once the process of decay and the ongoing struggle for life. They hold within them a secret poetry, stained with blood and rust.

• The evolution of government from its medieval, Mafia-like character to that embodying modern legal institutions and instruments is a major part of the history of freedom. It is a part that tends to be obscured or ignored because of the myopic vision of many economists, who persist in modeling government as nothing more than a gigantic form of theft and income redistribution.
