• Awareness is not the same as thought. It lies beyond thinking, although it makes no use of thinking, honoring it's value and it's power. Awareness is more like a vessel which can hold and contain our thinking, helping us to see and know our thought as thought rather than getting caught up in them as reality.

• Las repúblicas exigían virtud. Las monarquías podían confiar en la coerción y el "deslumbrante esplendor" para suprimir el interés propio o las facciones; las repúblicas confiaban en la bondad del pueblo para dejar de lado el interés privado por el bien público. Los imperativos de la virtud imponían todo tipo de desideratas al ciudadano republicano: sencillez, frugalidad, sobriedad, modales simples, benevolencia cristiana, deber para con la política. Las repúblicas apelaban a otras virtudes -el espíritu, el valor- para proteger a la sociedad de amenazas externas. Los tiranos mantenían ejércitos permanentes; las repúblicas contaban con campesinos libres que defendían su propia tierra.

• Oriente Próximo ya ha pasado antes por periodos de agitación. En las décadas de 1950 y 1960 hubo revoluciones. Cuando las monarquías se derrumbaban en varios países, teníamos radicales y teníamos el nasserismo. Hoy es un poco más complicado.

• Nuestro pasado americano siempre nos habla con dos voces: la voz del pasado y la voz del presente. Siempre nos hacemos dos preguntas muy distintas. Los historiadores que leen las palabras de John Winthrop suelen preguntarse: ¿Qué significaban para él? Los ciudadanos se preguntan: ¿Qué significan para nosotros? Los historiadores están formados para buscar el significado original; todos nosotros queremos conocer el significado presente.

• Soy muy duro con la suerte. Creo que es una mierda. Sí, si te pasas siete años buscando trabajo como redactor publicitario y un día alguien te da un empleo, puedes decir: "Caramba, he tenido suerte de subir hoy. Pero, maldita sea, iba a subir allí tarde o temprano en los próximos setenta años. Si eres persistente en intentarlo, hacerlo y trabajar, casi haces tu propia fortuna.

• In comparison to the French Revolution, the American Revolution has come to seem a parochial and rather dull event. This, despitethe fact that the American Revolution was successful--realizing the purposes of the revolutionaries and establishing a durable political regime--while the French Revolution was a resounding failure, devouring its own children and leading to an imperial despotism, followed by an eventual restoration of the monarchy.

• Nagging questions remain: Where is the line between making the most of one's potential and reaching for the unattainable? Where is the line between education as a tool and education as a kind of magic? The line is blurred and that is why when education fails, disillusionment is so bitter.

• La monarquía inglesa es, en el mejor de los casos, simbólica, mientras que la monarquía saudí es un linaje, pero también se está mostrando como una cultura muy primitiva. Por lo tanto, creo que nos estamos alejando cada vez más de ese tipo de organización de la humanidad y lo mismo diría con la religión. Creo que las religiones organizadas, con la excepción del Islam, se están quedando en el camino. La gente está empezando a entender que el potencial religioso está en el interior y que es una búsqueda individual.
