• We rarely use much debt and, when we do, we attempt to structure it on a long-term fixed rate basis. We will reject interesting opportunities rather than over-leverage our balance sheet. This conservatism has penalized our results but it is the only behavior that leaves us comfortable, considering our fiduciary obligations to policyholders, depositors, lenders and the many equity holders who have committed unusually large portions of their net worth to our care.

• El poeta que escribe versos "libres" es como Robinson Crusoe en su isla desierta: debe cocinar, lavar la ropa y zurcir por sí mismo. En algunos casos excepcionales, esta independencia viril produce algo original e impresionante, pero lo más frecuente es que el resultado sea la miseria: sábanas sucias en la cama sin hacer y botellas vacías en el suelo sin barrer.

• The prestige of the Nobel Prize is due to many causes, but in particular to its twofold idealistic and international character: idealistic in that it has been designed for works of lofty inspiration; international in that it is awarded after the production of different countries has been minutely studied and the intellectual balance sheet of the whole world has been drawn up. Free from all other considerations and ignoring any but intellectual values, the judges have deliberately taken their place in what the philosophers have called a community of the mind.

• A la vejez le gusta detenerse en los recuerdos del pasado y, confundiendo la rápida marcha de los años, a menudo se inclina a tomar la prudencia del invierno por la gorda sabiduría de los días de pleno verano. La humanidad se inclina a las preocupaciones pasajeras del momento presente, y sujeta tan estrechamente a sus ojos la sábana del "hoy", que oculta de su vista el "mañana".

• The foulest damage to our political life comes not from the 'secrets' which they hide from us, but from the little bits of half-truth and disinformation which they do tell us. These are already pre-digested, and then are sicked up as little gobbits of authorised spew. The columns of defense correspondents in the establishment sheets serve as the spittoons.

• We gather the things we learned, and they don't nearly add up to fill the space of a life. You will miss the taste of Froot Loops. You will miss the sound of traffic. You will miss your back against his. You will miss him stealing the sheets. Do not ignore these things.

Todo lo que tenía era una linterna, brillante como la luna, un agujero blanco ardiendo bajo las sábanas.
