• What are man and woman if not members of two very different and warring tribes Yet decade after decade, century after century, they attempt in marriage to reconcile and forge a union. Why I don't know. Biological imperative Divine law Or just a desire to connect to that mysterious other In any case, it's always struck me as a hopeful thing.

• En las últimas décadas, nuevas categorías enteras de residuos han llegado a plagar y amenazar la escena estadounidense. La contaminación crece a un ritmo vertiginoso. La contaminación destruye la belleza y amenaza la salud. Disminuye la eficacia, reduce el valor de la propiedad y aumenta los impuestos. Casi todos estos residuos y contaminaciones son el resultado de actividades realizadas en beneficio del hombre. Un objetivo nacional primordial debe ser un medio ambiente agradable a los sentidos y saludable para vivir. Nuestro Gobierno ya está haciendo mucho en este campo. Hemos hecho progresos significativos. Pero hay que hacer más.

• Como presentador de las Noticias Vespertinas de la CBS, terminé mis emisiones nocturnas durante casi dos décadas con una simple frase: "Y así son las cosas". Para mí, eso resume el ideal más elevado del periodista: informar de los hechos tal y como los ve, sin importarle las consecuencias o la controversia que puedan surgir.

• We have come tardily to the tremendous task of cleaning up our environment. We should have moved with similar zeal at least a decade ago. But no purpose is served by post-mortems. With visionary zeal but the greatest realism, we must now address ourselves to the vast problems that confront us.

• Nací en los 60 y crecí en los 70, no precisamente la mejor década de la historia británica para la comida. Fue horrible. Fue una época en la que, como nación, destacábamos en el arte y la música y la interpretación y la fotografía y la moda - todas las habilidades creativas... todas menos la cocina.

• Cuando tenía 11 años, me mudé a Estados Unidos con mis dos hermanos y mi madre. Nos mudamos al norte de New York, cerca de la frontera canadiense, desde Argentina, y allí no había nadie que hablara español, y como entonces no había Internet, ni siquiera televisión por cable todavía, perdí por completo la conexión con mis amigos de la infancia y la cultura con la que me había criado durante mi primera década.

• One of the most important things for a country, particularly when it's seeking to attract long-term capital in big risky projects that are going to have a payback over many years if not decades, is to be seen as being a predictable environment where tax changes will be few. But if they are going to come about they'll come about in a way that you know is predictable, understandable.

• Nobody disputes that cheap natural gas would be a good thing for the economy. The question is, is this a sustainable new development that can be counted on for decades to come, or simply a 'bubble' brought on by a land grab and drilling frenzy?

• The book itself is a curious artifact, not showy in its technology but complex and extremely efficient: a really neat little device, compact, often very pleasant to look at and handle, that can last decades, even centuries. It doesn't have to be plugged in, activated, or performed by a machine; all it needs is light, a human eye, and a human mind. It is not one of a kind, and it is not ephemeral. It lasts. It is reliable.

• Think of it: the lowest common denominator in being digital is not your operating system, modem, or model of computer. It's a tiny piece of plastic, designed decades ago by Bell Labs' Charles Krumreich, Edwin Hardesty, and company, who thought they were making an inconspicuous plug for a few telephone handsets. Not in their wildest dreams was Registered Jack 11 - a modular connector more commonly known as the RJ-11 - meant to be plugged and unplugged so many times, by so many people, for so many reasons, all over the world.

• To recover from the current economic downturn, it has been estimated that we need to create on the order of 17 million to 20 million new jobs in the coming decade...And it's very hard to imagine where those jobs are going to come from unless we seriously get busy reinventing manufacturing.

• En 1992, en una de mis primeras giras, estaba en el aeropuerto de Heathrow y vi a unos músicos de mediana edad que llevaban décadas de gira y parecían demacrados, infelices y poco saludables. Me juré a mí mismo que nunca sería esa persona. Veinte años después, me encontraba en Heathrow con un aspecto demacrado, infeliz y poco saludable. Decidí que prefería pasar mi tiempo en casa trabajando en la música y cenando con amigos, en lugar de pasar seis meses en un hotel en un estado de deprimente adolescencia suspendida.

• Él [Donald Trump] es un jefe duro. Le conozco desde hace décadas. No ha cambiado mucho. Es una persona motivada, muy inteligente, muy motivada, muy carismática, y es duro como una roca en el sentido de que no es flojo. No se le puede poner nada encima a Donald. Donald puede ver a través de alguien que trata de disimular o dar vueltas a las cosas.
