• FAQ regarding my book were not about my use of commas or how the images went berserk, but about the political situation in Bosnia, about guilt and shame, about victims and perpetrators, about reasons, arguments and beliefs that led to the conflict in the first place, etc. All of this needed and still needs answering and ongoing discussions, but I mostly felt overwhelmed and unqualified to articulate anything worth more than personal experiences of the siege, of fear and refuge - all the things which I wrote about anyway.

• I want to be very clear - whenever it is possible to capture a suspected terrorist, it is the unqualified preference of the Administration to take custody of that individual so we can obtain information that is vital to the safety and security of the American people.

• You have to be grateful to existence that it has chosen you to be a passage for a few beautiful children. But you are not to interfere in their growth, in their potential. You are not to impose yourself upon them. They are not going to live in the same times, they are not going to face the same problems. They will be part of another world. Don´t prepare them for this world, this society, this time, because then you will be creating troubles for them. They will find themselves unfit, unqualified.

  Rajneesh

• un tutor ad litem... Un GAL es designado por un tribunal para ser el defensor de un niño durante un procedimiento judicial en el que esté implicado un menor. No hace falta ser abogado para ser GAL, pero hay que tener moral y corazón. Lo que, en realidad, probablemente hace que la mayoría de los abogados no estén cualificados para el trabajo.

• In a very real sense not one of us is qualified, but it seems that God continually chooses the most unqualified to do his work, to bear his glory. If we are qualified, we tend to think that we have done the job ourselves. If we are forced to accept our evident lack of qualification, then there's no danger that we will confuse God's work with our own, or God's glory with our own.

• [W]hat have we done with our forests? Chopped them, and burned them, and wasted them; and now almost the last of the great stands of timber are here on the Pacific slope. We are in the center of the best of them. Probably nowhere on earth does there exist a forest to compare in continuous grandeur and unqualified beauty with the Redwoods that are found along the Eel River and to the north.

• What the Negro wants - and will not stop until he gets - is absolute and unqualified freedom and equality here in this land of his birth, and not in Africa or in some imaginary state. The Negro no longer will be tolerant of anything less than his due right and heritage. He is pursuing only that which he knows is honorably his. He knows that he is right.

• Sometimes when you get an opportunity to appropriate your work, or use whatever collateral you have, for something good, you think, "Well, yeah, you should do this." You're not in any way qualified to do it, but I was so sick of hearing so many unqualified people say that global warming doesn't exist, I thought, "Well, I'm no less qualified than they are, so I can deal with doing it."

• The ever increasing intensity of despair depends upon the degree of consciousness or is proportionate to this increase: the greater the degree of consciousness, the more intensive the despair. This is everywhere apparent, most clearly in despair at its maximum and minimum. The devil's despair is the most intensive despair, for the devil is sheer spirit and hence unqualified consciousness and transparency; there is no obscurity in the devil that could serve as a mitigating excuse. Therefore, his despair is the most absolute defiance. . . .

• In fact, books are still being published by the lunatic fringe with the same explanation. In case this book should be read by some fundamentalist searching for straws to prop up his prejudices, let me state categorically that all my experience (such as it is) has led me to an unqualified acceptance of evolution by natural selection as a sufficient explanation for what I have seen in the fossil record.

• My life is about my journey, and your life is about your journey. You are completely unqualified to draw my map, and I am completely unqualified to draw yours. I hope you'll let me know all about the path you've found, so that I may judge it for myself against my own path, and have the freedom to choose between the two. But please don't try and drag me from my path on to yours, and I will be sure to return the favor.

• La verdad incondicional es que cuando amé a Estella con el amor de un hombre, la amé simplemente porque la encontraba irresistible. Una vez por todas; supe a mi pesar, a menudo y a menudo, si no siempre, que la amaba en contra de la razón, en contra de la promesa, en contra de la paz, en contra de la esperanza, en contra de la felicidad, en contra de todo desaliento que pudiera existir. Una vez para siempre; la amo no menos porque lo sabía, y no tenía más influencia en refrenarme, que si hubiera creído devotamente que ella era la perfección humana.

• Hoy se considera una exageración proclamar el respeto constante a toda forma de vida como la exigencia seria de una ética racional. Pero está llegando el momento en que la gente se asombrará de que la raza humana existiera tanto tiempo antes de reconocer que el daño irreflexivo a la vida es incompatible con una ética real. La ética es, en su forma incondicional, una responsabilidad extendida a todo lo que tiene vida.

• El propósito del amor, el sexo y el matrimonio es producir y criar hijos. Pero mira a tu alrededor: La mayoría de la gente no tiene por qué tener hijos. No están cualificadas, ni genética ni culturalmente ni en ambos sentidos, para reproducir especímenes tan lamentables como ellos. De todos nuestros privilegios, el de procrear es del que más se abusa.
