• New York no era una simple ciudad. Era, en cambio, una noción infinitamente romántica, el nexo misterioso de todo amor, dinero y poder, el sueño brillante y perecedero en sí mismo. Pensar en "vivir" allí era reducir lo milagroso a lo mundano; no se "vive" en Xanadú.

• Long ago, during my apprenticeship in the wine trade, I learned that wine is more than the sum of its parts, and more than an expression of its physical origin. The real significance of wine as the nexus of just about everything became clearer to me when I started writing about it. The more I read, the more I traveled, and the more questions I asked, the further I was pulled into the realms of history and economics, politics, literature, food, community, and all else that affects the way we live. Wine, I found, draws on everything and leads everywhere.

• There wasn't a single day in which the world was created. It's created anew at every moment. The structures of eternity are completely fluid but they are bound together by the mind forming a nexus point so reality comes into being.

• Yet suppose further. Suppose that all worlds, all universes, met at a single nexus, a single pylon, a Tower. And within it, a stairway, perhaps rising to the Godhead itself. Would you dare climb to the top, gunslinger? Could it be that somewhere above all of endless reality, there exists a room?...' You dare not.' And in the gunslinger's mind, those words echoed: You dare not.

• If we recognise that every ecosystem can also be viewed as a food web, we can think of it as a circular, interlacing nexus of plant animal relationships (rather than a stratified pyramid with man at the apex)… Each species, be it a form of bacteria or deer, is knitted together in a network of interdependence, however indirect the links may be.

• What WE represent is the nexus of concrescent novelty that has been moving itself together, complexifying itself, folding itself in upon itself for billions and billions of years. There is, so far as we know, nothing more advanced than what is sitting behind your eyes. The human neocortex is the most densely ramified complexified structure in the known universe.

  Terence McKenna

• Si entro en un sitio, en una fiesta, por ejemplo, y hay una estantería, inmediatamente gravito hacia ella. A menos que haya un bar. Pero incluso entonces, sólo es cuestión de unas pocas rondas antes de que me dirija a la estantería. Si hay buenos libros en ella, puede que no la abandone en toda la noche. De todos modos, cualquiera con el que quiera hablar se dirigirá a esa estantería tarde o temprano, ¿no? Los libros son un nexo de unión. Inician conversaciones, las continúan y hacen que la gente sea mejor conversadora. No me ha ocurrido lo mismo con Iron Chef, ni siquiera con el alcohol.

• Building on the public's unwillingness to act on principle in support of market solutions to apparent problems, whether real or imagined, these interest groups secure arbitrary restrictions on voluntary exchanges and, in the process, secure rents for their members while reducing both the liberties and economic well being of other members of the economic nexus, both domestically and internationally.

• The future is created at the intersection of business, technology, design, and culture. *In the Bubble* is an insightful and delightful explanation of this nexus and of how each force affects the others. Designers often miss a great deal in their educations about the real people who will use and inhabit their work. Thackara astutely illuminates a lot of what designers don't know they're missing.

• Allow me to correct you on two things: number one, the reason John Cena isn't here tonight has nothing to do with you. John Cena isn't here because I destroyed him in our match, this past week, in Pennsylvania. And number two, you're not the leader of the Nexus, I am.

• I think in the old days, the nexus of weirdness ran through Southern California, and to a degree New York City. I think it's changed so that every bizarre story in the country now has a Florida connection. I don't know why, except it must be some inversion of magnetic poles or something.

• Mientras la sociedad no pueda proporcionar empleo a sus miembros, hay que abandonar el nexo producción/trabajo/ingresos como justificación de nuestra actual parsimonia con los desempleados. Un supuesto no puede servir para justificar que se convierta en ciudadanos de segunda clase a quienes tienen la desgracia de constituir la prueba viviente de la inexactitud de ese supuesto.
