• Es hora de que nos quitemos las máscaras, de que salgamos de detrás de nuestros personajes -sean los que sean: educadores, activistas, biólogos, geólogos, escritores, agricultores, ganaderos y burócratas- y admitamos que somos amantes, comprometidos en una erótica del lugar. Amar la tierra. Honrar sus misterios. Reconocer y abrazar el espíritu del lugar: no hay nada más legítimo ni más verdadero. Por eso estamos aquí. Por eso hacemos lo que hacemos. No hay nada intelectual en ello. Amamos la tierra. Es un asunto primario.

• The why is what makes journalism an adult game. The why is what makes policy coherent and useful. The why is what transforms bureaucrats and foot soldiers and political leaders into viable instruments of rational and affirmative change. The why is everything and without it, the very suggestion of human progress becomes a cosmic joke.

• In sorting out my feelings and beliefs, there is, however, one piece of moral ground of which I am absolutely certain: if I were to be murdered I would not want my murderer executed. I would not want my death avenged. Especially by government--which can't be trusted to control its own bureaucrats or collect taxes equitably or fill a pothole, much less decide which of its citizens to kill.

• Suits obviously had helped to promote bad government and he was as guilty as anyone for wearing them so steadfastly for twenty years. Of late he had become frightened of the government for the first time in his life, the way the structure of democracy had begun debasing people rather than enlivening them in their mutual concern. The structure was no longer concerned with the purpose for which it was designed, and a small part of the cause, Nordstrom thought, was probably that all politicians and bureaucrats wore suits.

• Los Estados Unidos que conozco y amo no son aquellos en los que mis padres o mi bebé con síndrome de Down tendrán que comparecer ante el "panel de la muerte" de Obama para que sus burócratas decidan, basándose en un juicio subjetivo de su "nivel de productividad en la sociedad", si son merecedores de asistencia sanitaria. Un sistema así es francamente perverso.

• El poder económico se ejerce mediante lo positivo, ofreciendo a los hombres una recompensa, un incentivo, un pago, un valor; el poder político se ejerce mediante lo negativo, mediante la amenaza de castigo, perjuicio, encarcelamiento, destrucción. La herramienta del empresario son los valores; la del burócrata, el miedo.
