• ... believing in a God whom we cannot but regard as evil, and then, in mere terrified flattery calling Him 'good' and worshipping him is a still greater danger... The ultimate question is whether the doctrine of the goodness of God or that of the inerrancy of scripture is to prevail when they conflict. I think the doctrine of the goodness of God is the more certain of the two. Indeed, only that doctrine renders this worship of Him obligatory or even permissable.

• Los jueces actuales leemos la Constitución de la única manera que podemos: como estadounidenses del siglo XX. Tenemos en cuenta la historia de la época en que se redactó y la historia posterior de la interpretación. Pero la pregunta definitiva debe ser qué significan las palabras del texto en nuestro tiempo. Porque el genio de la Constitución no reside en el significado estático que pudiera haber tenido en un mundo muerto y desaparecido, sino en la adaptabilidad de sus grandes principios para hacer frente a los problemas y necesidades actuales.

• Merrie Destefano storms the world of urban fantasy with AFTERLIFE, breathing new life into the vast genre of the undead. Gritty, poignant, in the tradition of Bladerunner, with the nostalgia of New Orleans. With crisp and beautiful prose, AFTERLIFE blurs the line between the living and the dead to ask life's ultimate questions-even if they take nine lives to solve.

• Management is clearly different from leadership. Leadership is primarily a high-powered, right-brain activity. It's more of an art it's based on a philosophy. You have to ask the ultimate questions of life when you're dealing with personal leadership issues.

• The existence of God is not logically necessary, and yet, on the basis of some profound peculiar empirical order in the universe, it seems that He exists as the ultimate uncreated Being, implying a paradox, as no logically unnecessary entity can be uncreated. This paradox is the ultimate question asked by God, who is nothing but the ultimate questioner.

• Desde los tiempos de los Padres Fundadores hasta estas elecciones (2008), cómo y dónde lucha Estados Unidos para defender su libertad ha sido la cuestión fundamental de su política. La que desencadena la rabia y el dolor; la que pregunta si el precio de la sangre es demasiado caro. O, si quiere mantenerse fiel a sus convicciones, ¿no tiene más remedio que arriesgar la vida?

• Youth is an intoxication without wine, someone says. Life is an intoxication. The only sober man is the melancholiac, who, disenchanted, looks at life, sees it as it really is, and cuts his throat. If this be so, I want to be very drunk. The great thing is to live, to clutch at our existence and race away with it in some great and enthralling pursuit. Above all, I must beware of all ultimate questions- they are too maddeningly unanswerable- let me eschew philosophy and burn Omar.

• What man needs is not just the persistent posing of ultimate questions, but the sense of what is feasible, what is possible, what is correct, here and now. The philosopher, of all people, must, I think, be aware of the tension between what he claims to achieve and the reality in which he finds himself.
