• Roughly speaking, any man with energy and enthusiasm ought to be able to bring at least a dozen others round to his opinion in the course of a year no matter how absurd that opinion might be. We see every day in politics, in business, in social life, large masses of people brought to embrace the most revolutionary ideas, sometimes within a few days. It is all a question of getting hold of them in the right way and working on their weak points.

  Aleister Crowley

• No se sabe qué habría pasado con nuestro presupuesto de defensa si Sadam Husein no hubiera invadido Kuwait aquel agosto y hubiera hecho que todo el mundo se preparara para la Segunda Guerra Mundial. ¿Podemos contar con que Saddam Hussein aparezca cada año y resuelva nuestros debates sobre política de defensa?

• I will venture to affirm, that the three seasons wherein our corn has miscarried did no more contribute to our present misery, than one spoonful of water thrown upon a rat already drowned would contribute to his death; and that the present plentiful harvest, although it should be followed by a dozen ensuing, would no more restore us, than it would the rat aforesaid to put him near the fire, which might indeed warm his fur-coat, but never bring him back to life.

Pero sea cual sea el resultado de las críticas u objeciones subsiguientes, es probable que La República Mundial de las Letras -imperio más que república, como demuestra Casanova- tenga el mismo tipo de impacto liberador en general que Orientalismo de Said, con el que se compara.

• There is another point that I think is as important: You should expect the unexpected in this business; expect the extreme. Don’t think in terms of boundaries that limit what the market might do. If there is any lesson I have learned in the nearly twenty years that I’ve been in this business, it is that the unexpected and the impossible happen every now and then

• Have a relentless commitment to consistency of message. It might be the 15th time you’ve given the speech, but some people may never have heard it. Or, some people may have heard it four times but it’s the first time they’ve internalized it.

• If you find your truth you must follow it. You could find it in a paper bag, or in a statue, or in a slaughterhouse; you might find it dangling somewhere. People might say, What the heck are you doing? but its ok if they dont understand. And if you follow it, stay true to it, and respect it, you could be in store for the greatest journey you could ever imagine.

• If you build a snazzy alife sim ... you'd be a kind of bridging `first cause', and might even have the power to intervene in their lives - even obliterate their entire experienced cosmos - but that wouldn't make you a god in any interesting sense. Gods are ontologically distinct from creatures, or they're not worth the paper they're written on.

• En muchas ocasiones me han preguntado si creo que la Iglesia occidental sufrirá persecuciones. Mi respuesta podría sorprenderle. Creo que si te encuentras esclavizado dentro de una estructura eclesiástica controladora de legalismo y esclavitud, ¡entonces ya estás siendo perseguido! Muchos cristianos parecen imposiblemente distraídos de escuchar la voz de Dios. En lugar de escuchar esa voz quieta y pequeña que trae verdadera paz y alegría, siguen ciegamente las voces de la religión dominante. La peor clase de persecución para un cristiano es cuando se le separa de la alegría y la presencia del Espíritu Santo.
