• Ha comenzado una nueva carrera espacial, y la mayoría de los estadounidenses ni siquiera son conscientes de ello. Esta carrera no tiene que ver con el prestigio político o el poder militar. Esta nueva carrera implica a toda la especie humana en una contienda contra el tiempo. Todos los habitantes de la Tierra están en una carrera desesperada contra el desastre... Para salvar la Tierra debemos mirar más allá, al espacio interplanetario. Ante el colapso de la civilización y el fin del mundo tal y como lo conocemos, debemos comprender que nuestro planeta no existe aislado.

• No habrá paz en Europa si los Estados se reconstruyen sobre la base de la soberanía nacional, con sus implicaciones de política de prestigio y protección económica... Los países de Europa no son suficientemente fuertes individualmente para poder garantizar la prosperidad y el desarrollo social de sus pueblos. Por tanto, los Estados de Europa deben formar una federación o una entidad europea que los convierta en una unidad económica común.

  Jean Monnet

• What holds an Arab leader in power is a mixture of violence and prestige. Both President Assad and King Hussein were felt to have defended Arab interests against the world. That, in the end, is more important than what they wear on their head.

• America is subsidizing what is left of the prestige and strength of the once mighty Britain. The sun has set forever on that monocled, pith-helmeted resident colonialist, sipping tea with his delicate lady in the non-white colonies being systematically robbed of every valuable resource. Britain's superfluous royalty and nobility now exist by charging tourists to inspect the once baronial castles, and by selling memoirs, perfumes, autographs, titles, and even themselves.

• Would you be willing to give your life to save the world if no one ever knew your name? If anonymity was the price you would have to pay for significance, would it be too great a price? To live a life of courage is not a guarantee of prestige or adulation. It only matters if you live and die fulfilling the mission you were born for.

• Sin duda, el prestigio del gobierno ha disminuido considerablemente con la ley de prohibición. Porque nada destruye más el respeto por el gobierno y la ley del país que aprobar leyes que no se pueden hacer cumplir. Es un secreto a voces que el peligroso aumento de la delincuencia en este país está estrechamente relacionado con esto.

• [The woman] paused and seemed to take a deep breath. 'You see,' she declared. 'I am Tom Mallow's aunt.' Catherine's first instinct was to burst out laughing. She wondered why there was something slightly absurd about aunts; perhaps it was because one thought of them as dear, comfortable creatures, somehow lacking in dignity and prestige.

• Meaning doesn't lie in things. Meaning lies in us. When we attach value to things that aren't love - the money, the car, the house, the prestige - we are loving things that can't love us back. We are searching for meaning in the meaningless. Money, of itself, means nothing. Material things, of themselves, mean nothing. It's not that they're bad. It's that they're nothing. ("A Return to Love")

• I quit my last real job, as a writer at a magazine, when I was twenty-one. That was the moment when I lost my place of prestige on the fast track, and slowly, millimeter by millimeter, I started to get found, to discover who I had been born to be, instead of the impossibly small package, all tied up tightly in myself, that I had agreed to be.

• En cuanto al dinero y el prestigio, si uno tiene la oportunidad de ganar dinero y/o avanzar en su posición o lugar en la vida puede haber mucho que sopesar y considerar, como las responsabilidades, las metas y los objetivos, etc. Todos tomamos decisiones, nos ocupamos de nuestro sentido de las prioridades, los principios, la ética, la moral, el equilibrio, los malabarismos, los compromisos... ¡o no! ¡Ja!
