• Innovations, free thinking is blowing like a storm; those that stand in front of it, ignorant scholars like you, false scientists, perverse conservatives, obstinate goats, resisting mules are being crushed under the weight of these innovations. You are nothing but ants standing in front of the giants; nothing but chicks trying to challenge roaring volcanoes!

• Persio ha observado justamente, que el conocimiento no es nada para aquel que no es conocido por otros por poseerlo: para el erudito mismo no es nada con respecto al honor o a la ventaja, porque el mundo no puede recompensar aquellas cualidades que le son ocultadas; con respecto a otros no es nada, porque no proporciona ninguna ayuda a la ignorancia o al error.

• Desde muy joven estuve completamente rodeado de religión. Mi padre me enseñó. Participé en debates con él y con muchos de estos eruditos que me visitaban y venían a la mesa del comedor, a la mesa de la comida, y asistí a muchas conferencias con mi padre. Y así aprendí a la manera de los aprendices.

• This withdrawal of theology from the world of secular affairs is made more complete by the work of biblical scholars whose endlessly fascinating exercises have made it appear to the lay Christian that no one untrained in their methods can really understand anything the Bible says. We are in a situation analogous to one about which the great Reformers complained. The Bible has been taken out of the hands of the layperson; it has now become the professional property not of the priesthood but of the scholars.

• In fact,I believe the reason why the Chinese failed to develop botany and zoology is that the Chinese scholar cannot stare coldly and unemotionally at a fish without immediately thinking of how it tastes in the mouth and wanting to eat it. The reason I don't trust Chinese surgeons is that I am afraid that when a Chinese surgeon cuts up my liver in search of a gall-stone, he may forget about the stone and put my liver in a frying pan.

• The bottom line about the information possessed by non-Western peoples is that the information becomes valid only when offered by a white scholar recognized by the academic establishment; in effect, the color of the skin guarantees scientific objectivity.

• These are the folk who may pass into the kingdom of heaven: the grief-stricken, lovers, scholars of a certain obsessive disposition. Brute beasts. Women who have become as men and men who have become as women. Writers of books with long titles. Only those knights who have failed to touch the Grail. Industrious women. You, and I, and a boy named Oleg, and a girl with blue hair.

• Para mí, la apologética resultó ser el punto de inflexión de mi vida y de mi eternidad. Estoy agradecido a los eruditos que defienden con tanta pasión y eficacia la verdad del cristianismo, y hoy el objetivo de mi vida es poner de mi parte para ayudar a otros a obtener respuestas a las preguntas que les bloquean en su camino espiritual hacia Cristo.

• El Corán no es "un producto de Muhammad, ni siquiera de Arabia", sino una recopilación de materiales litúrgicos judeocristianos anteriores cosidos para satisfacer las necesidades de una época posterior... Algunos eruditos van más allá y dudan incluso de la existencia de Muhammad.

• At heart, Sussman was a theoretician. In another age, he might have been a Talmudic scholar. He had cultivated a Socratic method, zinging question after question at the reporters: Who moved over from Commerce to CRP with Stans? What about Mitchell's secretary? Why won't anybody say when Liddy went to the White House or who worked with him there? Mitchell and Stans both ran the budget committee, right? What does that tell you? Then Sussman would puff on his pipe, a satisfied grin on his face.

• Tal vez la causa principal que ha retrasado el progreso de la poesía en América, es la falta de ese cultivo exclusivo, que una rama tan noble de la literatura parecería requerir. Pocos aquí piensan en confiar en el ejercicio del talento poético para ganarse la vida, y en hacer de la literatura la profesión de su vida. El bar o el púlpito reclaman la mayor parte de la existencia del erudito, y la poesía se convierte en su pasatiempo.

• Afirmo que esta biblioteca sin libros es un sueño, una alucinación de los adictos a Internet, los neófitos a las redes y los iniciados en la automatización de bibliotecas... En lugar de eso, sospecho que los ordenadores masticarán tortuosamente las bibliotecas desde dentro. Se comerán los presupuestos de libros y necesitarán bibliotecarios que se sientan más cómodos con los ordenadores que con los niños y los eruditos. Las bibliotecas se volverán expertas en suministrar al público información rápida y de baja calidad. El resultado no será una biblioteca sin libros, sino una biblioteca sin valor.
