• How vain are our fears! I thought to myself. Sometimes we fear that which our opponent (or fate) had never even considered! After this, then, is it any longer worthwhile to rack one's brain to find new ghosts to fear? No, indeed: All hail optimism! - upon playing Hermanis Mattison after he overlooked an unusual knight manouevre.

• A menudo se pasa por alto un hecho obvio sobre los sentimientos negativos. Son causados por nosotros, no por sucesos exteriores. Un acontecimiento exterior presenta el desafío, pero nosotros reaccionamos ante él. Así que debemos prestar atención a la forma en que nos tomamos las cosas, no a las cosas en sí.

• There is a secret about human love that is commonly overlooked: Receiving it is much more scary and threatening than giving it. How many times in your life have you been unable to let in someone's love or even pushed it away? Much as we proclaim the wish to be truly loved, we are often afraid of that, and so find it difficult to open to love or let it all the way in.

• This fact, that the opposite of sin is by no means virtue, has been overlooked. The latter is partly a pagan view, which is content with a merely human standard, and which for that very reason does not know what sin is, that all sin is before God. No, the opposite of sin is faith.

• Existe en el hombre natural un trío diabólico, implacable, inextinguible, cooperativo y consentidor, el orgullo, la envidia y el odio; el orgullo que nos hace creer que merecemos todos los bienes que poseen los demás; la envidia de que algunos sean admirados mientras que a nosotros se nos pasa por alto; y el odio, porque todo lo que se concede a los demás, disminuye la suma que creemos que nos corresponde a nosotros mismos.

• Cuando estudiaba en Cambridge, recuerdo que un profesor de antropología me enseñó un hueso con 28 incisiones. "A menudo se considera que es el primer intento de calendario del hombre", explicó. Hizo una pausa mientras nosotros lo anotábamos. Mi pregunta es: ¿qué hombre necesita marcar 28 días? Yo les sugeriría que es el primer intento de calendario de la mujer. Fue un momento que cambió mi vida. En ese segundo me paré a cuestionar casi todo lo que me habían enseñado sobre el pasado. ¿Cuántas veces había pasado por alto las contribuciones de las mujeres?

• People who have lived through a war know that as it approaches, an at first secret, unacknowledged, elation begins, as if an almost inaudible drum is beating ... an awful, illicit, violent excitement is abroad. Then the elation becomes too strong to be ignored or overlooked: then everyone is possessed by it.

• El lugar de la religión en Chicago es un relato claramente escrito sobre un aspecto poco estudiado del paisaje estadounidense. Basado en estudios de campo únicos y apoyado por fotografías, tablas y mapas bellamente elaborados, el libro constituirá una contribución duradera a nuestra comprensión de un elemento pasado por alto de la escena urbana estadounidense: el paisaje religioso de una gran metrópolis.

• No recuerdo otra época en la que la "fe" fuera tan popular como lo es hoy. Si creemos lo suficiente, lo conseguiremos". Así reza el cántico popular. Lo que creas no es importante. Sólo creer... Lo que se pasa por alto en todo esto es que la fe sólo es buena cuando se basa en la verdad; cuando se apoya en la falsedad, puede conducir, y a menudo conduce, a la tragedia eterna. Porque no basta con creer; debemos creer lo correcto sobre lo correcto.

• Toda la historia de la leche de fórmula para bebés ha sido la historia de un nutriente pasado por alto tras otro... y todavía hoy los bebés alimentados con la leche de fórmula más "nutricionalmente completa" no obtienen tan buenos resultados como los alimentados con leche humana.
  como los alimentados con leche materna. Incluso más que la margarina, la leche de fórmula se erige como el producto de prueba definitivo del nutricionismo y un índice justo de su arrogancia.

• The strong appearance of design [in nature] allows a disarmingly simple argument: if it looks, walks and quacks like a duck, then, absent compelling evidence to the contrary, we have warrant to conclude it's a duck. Design should not be overlooked simply because it's so obvious.

• Well, maybe there are one or two things about the double jeopardy concept that are overlooked. I could be charged with violating my probation. I could be charged for illegal possession of a firearm or violating his civil rights if I did kill him. But when you're making a movie, there's only so much that you can do. I know that some people, while thoroughly enjoying it, have said, It's a little bit implausible. But it's such great fun.

• Europe has lived on its contradictions, flourished on its differences, and, constantly transcending itself thereby, has created a civilization on which the whole world depends even when rejecting it. This is why I do not believe in a Europe unified under the weight of an ideology or of a technocracy that overlooked these differences.
