• Parte de mi comprensión de lo que es la filosofía y la ética ha cambiado muy lentamente. Una cosa que ha cambiado es que durante mucho tiempo creí en la idea de que la filosofía consiste básicamente en argumentar. Cada vez soy más de la opinión de que no es así. Lo más interesante de la filosofía no son los argumentos. Lo que creo que se subestima es lo que yo llamo una forma de asistir. Creo que la filosofía consiste tanto en prestar atención a las cosas como en la estructura de los argumentos.

• To limit yourself to a label of "alcoholic" is masochistic and false if you have awakened a deeper spiritual identity within and have come to know your true self as unconditioned pure awareness. This doesn't mean that recovering alcoholics don't have to be concerned with relapsing, they must always remain vigilant. The power of addiction should not be underestimated. This exercise in vigilance can become a spiritual tool of liberation as well. Always being aware of choosing between real happiness and false happiness is also the discrimination required to attain enlightenment.

• Por integridad intelectual entiendo el hábito de decidir cuestiones controvertidas de acuerdo con la evidencia, o de dejarlas sin decidir cuando la evidencia no es concluyente. Esta virtud, aunque es subestimada por casi todos los partidarios de cualquier sistema de dogma, es en mi opinión de la mayor importancia social y mucho más probable que beneficie al mundo que el cristianismo o cualquier otro sistema de creencias organizadas.

• I think that one of the causes of these repeated failures is that our best and greatest men have greatly underestimated the size of this question (slavery). They have constantly brought forward small cures for great sores-plasters too small to cover the wound. That is one reason that all settlements have proved so temporary-so evanescent.

• Since I was a graduate student, I've done a lot of journalism on the side, for The Village Voice, The Nation etc. And my greatest passion, as a reader, has always been nonfiction, with its vast, often underestimated imaginative and formal possibilities and its aura of the real. I find that combination seductive.

• Mire, el presidente Clinton tuvo oportunidades de atrapar a Osama bin Laden. El Presidente Bush tuvo oportunidades de atrapar a Osama bin Laden. Sé cómo hacerlo y lo haré. Y entiendo y tengo el conocimiento y los antecedentes y la experiencia para hacer los juicios correctos. El senador Obama no. Se equivocó en Irak. Subestimó a Irán. No tiene conocimientos ni experiencia ni criterio. No sabe cómo funciona el mundo ni cómo funciona el ejército. Yo sí y puedo liderar y aseguraré la paz.
