• We have all kinds of limitations as human beings. I mean we can't see the whole electromagnetic spectrum, we can't see the very small, we can't see the very far. So we compensate for these short comings with technological scaffoldings. The microscope allows us to extend our vision into the microsphere. The telescope allows us to extend our vision into the macrosphere, the Hubble Space Telescope extends our optic nerve into space, and it allows us to mainline space and time through our optic nerve.

• There have been prophets and students who handle the Bible like a child's box of bricks; they explain to us the design and structure and purpose; but as time goes on things do not work out in their way at all. They have mistaken the scaffolding for the structure, while all the time God is working out His purpose with a great and undeterred patience.

• Cities have often been compared to language: you can read a city, it's said, as you read a book. But the metaphor can be inverted. The journeys we make during the reading of a book trace out, in some way, the private spaces we inhabit. There are texts that will always be our dead-end streets; fragments that will be bridges; words that will be like the scaffolding that protects fragile constructions.

• Cómo pasamos nuestros días es, por supuesto, cómo pasamos nuestras vidas. Lo que hacemos con esta hora, y con aquella, es lo que estamos haciendo. Un horario defiende del caos y el capricho. Es una red para atrapar los días. Es un andamio en el que un trabajador puede pararse y trabajar con ambas manos en tramos de tiempo. Un horario es una maqueta de la razón y el orden, querido, fingido y creado así; es una paz y un remanso en el naufragio del tiempo; es un bote salvavidas en el que uno se encuentra, décadas después, todavía vivo.
