• Before the Second World War I believed in the perfectibility of social man; that a correct structure of society would produce goodwill; and that therefore you could remove all social ills by a reorganisation of society. .... but after the war I did not because I was unable to. I had discovered what one man could do to another... I must say that anyone who moved through those years without understanding that man produces evil as a bee produces honey, must have been blind or wrong in the head...

• Pensemos en un hombre que va en bicicleta. Sea quien sea, podemos decir tres cosas sobre él. Sabemos que se ha subido a la bicicleta y se ha puesto en marcha. Sabemos que en algún momento se detendrá y se bajará. Y lo que es más importante, sabemos que si en algún momento entre el principio y el final de su viaje deja de moverse y no se baja de la bicicleta, se caerá de ella. Es una metáfora del viaje por la vida de cualquier ser vivo, y creo que de cualquier sociedad de seres vivos.

• A crowd of grade-three thinkers, all shouting the same thing, all warming their hands at the fire of their own prejudices, will not thank you for pointing out the contradictions in their beliefs. Man is a gregarious animal, and enjoys agreement as cows will graze all the same way on the side of a hill.

• Las utopías se presentan para nuestra inspección como una crítica del estado humano. Si han de ser tratadas como algo más que ejercicios triviales de la imaginación. Sugiero que podemos aplicar una sencilla prueba. Debemos olvidar toda la parafernalia de la descripción social, la demostración, la impugnación, la aprobación, la condena. Tenemos que decirnos a nosotros mismos: ¿Cómo viviría yo mismo en esta sociedad propuesta? ¿Cuánto tiempo pasaría antes de que me volviera loco de remate?
