• Hurtling the Pentagon into an unprecedented budgetary meltdown is horrifically irresponsible. Obama doesn't care. This is war - not against the Taliban, but war against the GOP. He has Republicans on the ropes, and that's a victory he savors and desires - unlike Afghanistan, where he seems only to want to turn tail.

• But the economic meltdown should have undone, once and for all, the idea of poverty as a personal shortcoming or dysfunctional state of mind. The lines at unemployment offices and churches offering free food includes strivers as well as slackers, habitual optimists as well as the chronically depressed. When and if the economy recovers we can never allow ourselves to forget how widespread our vulnerability is, how easy it is to spiral down toward destitution.

• ...the only thing that had tethered her to the earth had been him and it was strange, but she felt welded to him on some core level now. He had seen her at her absolute worst, at her weakest and most insane, and he hadn't looked away. He hadn't judged and he hadn't been burned. It was as if in the heat of her meltdown they had melted together. This was more than emotion. It was a matter of soul.

• Los campesinos han visto el futuro -Grecia y Francia- y han llegado a la conclusión de que no funciona. De ahí su oposición a la orgullosamente transformadora agenda de la Nueva Fundación de Obama. Su lógica es impecable: Sólo el intelectual más cegato podría intentar introducir la socialdemocracia en Estados Unidos precisamente cuando el principal ejemplo mundial de ese modelo -Europa- se encuentra en un caótico colapso.

• Sin embargo, para beneficiarte, debes creer que la vida está tramando algo para ti. A menudo nos resistimos a este impulso emergente o a esta urgencia de emerger porque tenemos miedo al cambio, ¿verdad? Para el ego, el cambio equivale al peligro o a la muerte. Pero cuando negamos esta llamada evolutiva, se produce una presión interior que debe encontrar una salida, a veces de forma destructiva. Y esto puede estallar en forma de enfermedad, colapso financiero o ruptura de relaciones.

• Desde 2001, la gente está asustada. Han sucedido cosas realmente aterradoras: el 11-S, Irak, Afganistán, el Katrina, las cartas con ántrax, el francotirador de Washington, el calentamiento global, el colapso financiero mundial, la gripe aviar, la gripe porcina, el SARS. Creo que la gente siente que el sistema se está desmoronando.

• There was a time when the community that was on the Net was homogenous and civilized. Now it's not. We're in the middle of chaos. It may calm down. But the alternative is that there's a total meltdown of the system and that it becomes unusable. That would be a catastrophe.

• Al Gore estrena una película sobre el calentamiento global llamada "Una verdad incómoda". Se describe como una visión científica detallada del calentamiento global.

• I had the classic 40 meltdown, I did. It's embarrassing. It was pretty funny. But then I recovered. To me, it was like a second adolescence. Hormonally, my body was changing, my mind was changing, and so my relationship to myself and the world around me came to this assault of finiteness.

• When people abuse these freedoms to enrich themselves at the expense of others, then the public will demand the government to step in. That is how government grows, and how freedom is diminished.... When financial meltdowns occur, the public's outrage drives government to take over part of the private sector. When the government does so, it replaces irresponsible executives with unaccountable bureaucrats. That takes us out of the frying pan and into the fire.

• Después de pasar años arruinando los mercados inmobiliarios con su interferencia, lo que llevó a un colapso de la vivienda que se ha llevado por delante a toda la economía, los políticos han pasado ahora a microgestionar las empresas automovilísticas y la atención médica. No van a parar a menos que se les detenga. Y eso no ocurrirá hasta que los votantes reconozcan que la retórica política no sustituye a la competencia.

• I distinctly remember a conversation with my band in the van where I was having a complete meltdown. It was 1984, I think, and I was huddled in the back corner of our van and saying, "I can't do this. I can't do this. I can't do this." I didn't want to play any more shows. I just wanted to stop.

• Hay famosos a los que se les empuja al borde del abismo, y el público piensa que todas las personas que salen a la luz pública guardan secretos sucios, o que no son lo que parecen, o que lo ocultan y fingen sinceridad, autenticidad y sorpresa en las galas de premios cuando ganan un Grammy.
