• Ojalá pudiera decir que el racismo y los prejuicios son sólo recuerdos lejanos... Debemos disentir de la indiferencia. Debemos disentir de la apatía. Debemos disentir del miedo, el odio y la desconfianza... Debemos disentir porque América puede hacerlo mejor, porque América no tiene más remedio que hacerlo mejor.

  Thurgood Marshall

• Nature seemed to me benign and good; I thought she loved me, outcast as I was; and I, who from man could anticipate only mistrust, rejection, insult, clung to her with filial fondness. To-night at least, I would be her guest-as I was her child; my mother would lodge me without money and without price.

• I do not overlook the fact that there are irrationalists who love mankind, and that not all forms of irrationalism engender criminality. But I hold that he who teaches that not reason but love should rule opens up the way for those who rule by hate. (Socrates, I believe, saw something of this when he suggested that mistrust or hatred of argument is related to mistrust or hatred of man).

• Los documentos legales llevan la desconfianza escrita por todas partes. Es lamentable, pero el ADN humano está tan afinado para dar por sentado que tendemos a protegernos legalmente. Por eso no los leo, porque si los leo me ablandaré. Para mí, la relación humana es mucho más importante que el vínculo profesional que comparto con cualquiera.

• We need to create an enterprise culture, a society where successful entrepreneurs are respected and admired, not treated with suspicion and disdain. And in which we see less envy of other peoples' achievements and mistrust of commerce, and a greater readiness to get out there and join in the process.

  Norman Tebbit

  Speech to the Institute of Directors' Annual Conference, February 26, 1985.

• I came to mistrust my desire to explode the picture and supercharge it in some way… what is more important is a feeling of strength in reserve – tension beneath calm.

• Mistrust is the fuel for so much mental pain, so many mental disorders. I am not talking here about the suspicions we sometimes have of one another, the distant but lurking sense that perhaps our lover lies to us, our best friend whispers behind our back. I am talking about a belief that betrayal inundates the atoms of the universe, is so woven into the workings of the world that every step is treacherous, and that below the rich mud lies a mine.

• For all the years I'd spent talking about pictures, the truth was that I had no idea how to draw or what it felt like to do it. I would mistrust a poetry critic who couldn't produce a rhyming couplet. Could one write about art without knowing how to draw?

• Todo lo que se llama Destino o Fatalidad no es más que el resultado de nuestra irreflexión y de nuestra desconfianza en nosotros mismos; debemos saber que todo lo que se crea en la tierra es creado por su único Dueño y Obrero: el Hombre.

• That little word 'we' I mistrust and here's why:
  No man of another can say, 'He is I.'
  Behind all agreement lies something amiss
  All seeming accord cloaks a lurking abyss.

• The US, for historical reasons, mistrusts the concept of a welfare state, and this mistrust shows itself nakedly under present US government, which commits uncounted billions of the national wealth to what it calls defence, and is close-fisted in giving money to plans which would ameliorate the grinding poverty of a great part of its people. Quite simply, in Canada you could not get away with that.

• These days it seems the lyric impulse, so seemingly fragile, comes in for a lot of abuse-or simply a lot of mistrust. What's it for, anyway, in this hard-edged, worried world? Into this cultural uncertainty Gregory Orr's spirited meditation on the surprisingly tensile strength of poetry in the face of profound suffering and grief presents a welcome fresh view of the ancient human instinct to cry out and to praise.

• The transcendent and the numinous can be accessible to the most materialistic of scientists, without positing the supernatural. At the same time, there is no reason to mistrust the same experiences in believers simply because they posit a supernatural source. The question is not, "Does God exist?" It's irrelevant. The question is whether believers and nonbelievers can rejoice in the same experiences and not denigrate the other's explanation as to the origins of very powerful human responses.
