• Which is to say that culture is not a reflex of political economy, but
  that society is now a reflex of key shifts in music theory and practice....
  [Sampladelia is] the sound made by those early-twentieth-century discoveries
  in particle physics and relativiity theory, the projection of the minds of
  Einstein, Heisenbery, and Bohr, their fateful explorations of liquid time,
  curving space, uncertainty fields and relativity theorems, into densely
  configured and fully ambivalent android music tracks

• Algunos dicen que todo lo que se llama ley psíquica no es más que el reflejo psicológico de combinaciones físicas, que se compone de sensaciones unidas a ciertos procesos cerebrales centrales... Lo contradice el hecho mismo de la conciencia, que no puede derivarse de ninguna cualidad física de las moléculas o átomos materiales.

• El arrepentimiento siempre lleva a una persona al punto de decir: "He pecado". La señal más segura de que Dios está obrando en su vida es cuando lo dice y lo dice en serio. Cualquier otra cosa es simplemente pena por haber cometido errores tontos, un acto reflejo causado por el asco de sí mismo.

• If I were asked to name one aspect of tennis that is the biggest weakness of players of all levels, I would probably say concentration. However good your shots, however fast your movement and reflexes, all is lost if the mind is not controlling every move.

• Si pudieras tener los brazos de Hércules, piernas veloces como el viento. Si pudieras saltar a la altura de los hombros, tener la patada de un delfín, los reflejos de un gato. Si pudieras tener todo eso, tendrías el cuerpo, tendrías las herramientas. Pero no tendrás grandeza hasta que comprendas que el músculo más fuerte es el corazón. Para mí, ése es el alma de los Juegos Olímpicos.

  Andrea Bocelli

• The capacity for imaginative reflex, for moral risk in any human being is not limitless; on the contrary, it can be rapidly absorbed by fictions, and thus the cry in the poem may come to sound louder, more urgent, more real than the cry in the street outside. The death in the novel may move us more potently than the death in the next room. Thus there may be a covert, betraying link between the cultivation of aesthetic response and the potential of personal inhumanity.

• There is a tendency among many shallow thinkers of our day to teach that every human act is a reflex, over which we do not exercise human control. They would rate a generous deed as no more praiseworthy than a wink, a crime as no more voluntary than a sneeze. . . Such a philosophy undercuts all human dignity. . . All of us have the power of choice in action at every moment of our lives.

  Fulton J. Sheen

• It's a game of habit, or repetition. You can't play one way in practice and another way in a game. It's a reflex. The game is so quick you don't have time to think.

• Es como un reflejo prehistórico, ya sabes, salir a buscar la carne y traerla de vuelta a la cueva. Sientes que debes mejorarlo, pero lo más probable es que te pida que le digas cómo te sientes.

• No sooner does a great man depart, and leave his character as public property, than a crowd of little men rushes towards it. There they are gathered together, blinking up to it with such vision as they have, scanning it from afar, hovering round it this way and that, each cunningly endeavoring, by all arts, to catch some reflex of it in the little mirror of himself.

• Of the primary emotions, fear is the one that bears most directly on survival. Children show fear. Adults try not to, maybe because it's shameful, or, in some circumstances, dangerous. The fear response is automatic, though, and your body runs through its reflexes whether you want it to or not.

• We certainly noted that when given the opportunity, women handle money more efficiently. They have long term vision, they manage money more carefully. Men are more callous with money. Their first reflex is to blow it by getting drunk in a pub, or on prostitutes or gambling. Women, on the other hand, are endowed with a tremendous sense of self-sacrifice and try to get the best out of the money, for their children, but also for their husbands.

  Muhammad Yunus
