• America faces many challenges...but the enemy I fear most is complacency. We are about to be hit by the full force of global competition.

• Sabbath requires surrender. If we only stop when we are finished with all our work, we will never stop, because our work is never completely done. With every accomplishment there arises a new responsibility... Sabbath dissolves the artificial urgency of our days, because it liberates us from the need to be finished.

• Somos seres sociales que hacemos comunidades con urgencia, y es una carga severa hacer que nos refugiemos en el solitario mundo de uno mismo. ...El racismo intenta ocluir nuestro cosmopolitismo (de los cantos dentro y fuera de nuestros huesos), y a menudo se apropia de nuestras formas leves de xenofobia para su propio proyecto virulento. La diferencia entre los pueblos es algo que negociamos en nuestras interacciones cotidianas, haciéndonos preguntas e informándonos mejor de nuestras realidades mutuas. Transformar la diferencia en el cuerpo es un acto de mala fe, una negación de nuestra desnudez compartida.

• Debemos movilizar rápidamente a nuestra civilización con la urgencia y la determinación que hasta ahora sólo se habían visto cuando las naciones se movilizaban para la guerra.

• True individualists are always at odds with the universe. Set adrift by their peculiar tastes and interests, they spend their lives searching for kindred spirits and a compatible mate. They are hopelessly out of step with the business world and its trivial urgencies. Their priorities are not the priorities of their neighbors. They are unique; therefore they are alone.

• Duane Allman didn't see himself as the bandleader .. he led by example, and you gained a lot of respect from Duane if you earned it, if you proved you could keep up with him. If you couldn't, you'd either end up in awe of him or you might not even like him. He was very different from Jerry Garcia (guitar/leader of the Grateful Dead) who was very easy going. Duane didn't have time to be easy going ... there was much more urgency to his personality

• Improved energy productivity and renewable energy are both available in abundance—and new policies and technologies are rapidly making them more economically competitive with fossil fuels. In combination, these energy options represent the most robust alternative to the current energy system, capable of providing the diverse array of energy services that a modern economy requires. Given the urgency of the climate problem, that is indeed convenient.
