• Mi reticencia a utilizar la invasión extraterrestre se debe a la sensación de que no es probable que nos invadan y se apoderen de nosotros. Me parece que cuando una raza ha alcanzado la capacidad del espacio profundo, ha madurado hasta un punto en el que no se le ocurriría dominar a otra especie inteligente. Además, no tendría necesidad económica de hacerlo. En el momento en que fuera capaz de ir al espacio profundo, debería haber llegado a una fuente de energía que no se basara en los recursos naturales planetarios.

• Veo todavía que mi naturaleza no está para ser conquistada del todo, sino que estimará el placer sobre todas las cosas, aunque todavía en medio de él, tiene reticencias después de mi negocio, que es descuidado por seguir mi placer.

• Who says you need to wait until you 'feel like' doing something in order to start doing it? The problem, from this perspective, isn't that you don't feel motivated; it's that you imagine you need to feel motivated. If you can regard your thoughts and emotions about whatever you're procrastinating on as passing weather, you'll realise that your reluctance about working isn't something that needs to be eradicated or transformed into positivity. You can coexist with it. You can note the procrastinatory feelings and act anyway.

• ...Americans...automatically equate dissension with disloyalty. They view any criticism of our existing social, economic, and political forms, as sedition and subversion. ...(" The growing reluctance of Americans to criticize, and their increasing tendency to condemn those who, in ever dwindling numbers, will still voice dissent") is disturbing, deplorable, and truly dangerous.

• Al final, muchos de sus colegas más militantes empezaron a pensar que la tendencia [de Ho Chi Minh] al compromiso y su reticencia a enfrentarse directamente al enemigo eran un signo de debilidad.

• There are some films that arrive here from the international festival circuit almost incandescent with self-importance. They hover into the cinema in a kind of floating trance at how challenging and moving they are. They are films with a profound reluctance to get over themselves. They look up at the sceptical observer with the saucer-eyed saintliness of a baby seal in culling season, or a charity mugger smilingly wishing a nice day on the retreating back of a passer-by. One such is Babel.

• Given [Donald] Trump`s polling deficit, his reluctance for ads until very recently in his near total lack of any ground game to speak off, it came as a surprise today that according to The Washington Post, Trump has stopped holding high-dollar fund-raising events, relying almost exclusively on online donations, which, of course, tend to be much smaller.

• We live in a time when people are increasingly skittish about evangelism - Christians and non-Christians alike. People are suspicious of evangelism, and misunderstand it, which contributes to our reluctance to share the gospel. When you add our fear of others' reactions as well as our natural laziness to the equation, it's not hard to see why we make such little progress in sharing our faith.

• Anyone who has attempted to create knows the hellishness of it, which consists in the final inescapability from it. Knows that anything, however deadly humdrum to drug the senses, is preferable to it. Knows the gigantic effort to get started on the boundless, unwieldy, shapeless material; the forest of hesitations; of what to keep and what to throw out; the running-out terror and reluctance in one of finishing.
