• It is all, as usual, paradox. I have to use what intellect I have in order to write books, but I write the kind of books I do in order that I may try to set down glimpses of things that are on the other side of the intellect. We do not go around and discard the intellect, but we must go through and beyond it.

• As a rule, with me an unfinished [idea] is a thing that might as well be rubbed out. It's better, if there's something good in it that I might make use of elsewhere, to leave it at the back of my mind than on paper in a drawer. If I leave it in a drawer it remains the same thing but if it's in the memory it becomes transformed into something else.

  T. S. Eliot

• I think the use of lethal injection is the way of lying to ourselves, to make it look like executions are peaceful, are benign, are sort of like going to sleep, and they're not. They're brutal things.

• How hard is it to build an intelligent machine? I don't think it's so hard, but that's my opinion, and I've written two books on how I think one should do it. The basic idea I promote is that you mustn't look for a magic bullet. You mustn't look for one wonderful way to solve all problems. Instead you want to look for 20 or 30 ways to solve different kinds of problems. And to build some kind of higher administrative device that figures out what kind of problem you have and what method to use.

• The one affectation I have forced on the publisher... are my apostrophe-free ellisions. Because I write my scripts to read myself, I dont spell 'don't' with an apostrophe. I spell it 'dont'. We all know the word and it seems foolish to put in an extraneous apostrophe. Punctuation marks are devices we use to make the meaning of sentences clear. There is nothing confusing about a word like 'dont' printed without an apostrophe to indicate an omitted letter.

• I would like to flood South Africa with black personages of all sorts of persuasions: writers, educators, businessmen, you name it. If you are black and have any clout at all, I would like to see you go to South Africa and look for yourself and come back and try to use the tools that you have at your command to try and help the brothers down there.

• En tiempos piadosos, antes de que comenzara el sacerdocio, antes de que la poligamia se convirtiera en pecado; cuando el hombre, con muchos, multiplicaba su especie, antes de que uno a uno fuera confinado malditamente: Cuando la Naturaleza incitaba, y ninguna Ley negaba el uso promiscuo de concubina y novia; Entonces, el monarca de Israel, según el propio corazón del Cielo, Su vigoroso calor impartió diversamente A esposas y esclavas: y, tan amplio como su mandato, Esparció la imagen de su Creador por la tierra.

• ¿Qué uso le doy a mi alma? Es una pregunta útil que uno debe hacerse con frecuencia. ¿Cómo se ve afectada mi parte gobernante? ¿Y qué alma tengo ahora? La de un niño, o la de un joven, o la de una mujer débil, o la de un tirano, o la del ganado o la de las fieras.

• It is important to emphasize again and again and again that finding a cure is not the problem The cures for many cancers, if not most cancers, exist. But they are not being offered to the patient who has cancer.... Being legally permitted to use an alternative cancer therapy is the problem

• La vida humana es frágil: vivimos en el espacio entre una respiración y la siguiente. A menudo intentamos mantener una ilusión de permanencia, a través de lo que hacemos, decimos, vestimos, compramos, y de cómo nos divertimos y a quién y cómo amamos. Sin embargo, es una ilusión que se ve constantemente minada por el cambio y la muerte. Podemos utilizar los diamantes como queramos. Son cosas vacías, bonitas como el agua, pero en su interior -si queremos verlo- hay sangre, polvo, amor, maldiciones y sufrimiento. Hay deseo de hacer feliz a alguien, hay admiración, hay ostentación... y hay curva de beneficios de una empresa.

• I believe that fallen creatures perish, perish for ever, for only good can live, and good has not been theirs; but how durst men forge our Saviour's words "eternal death " into so horrible a meaning? And even if he did use other words, and seem to countenance such a meaning for them (and what witness have we that He did, except that of men whose ignorance or prejudice might well have interpreted these words wrongly as they did so many others?
