• Because those who hold conspiracy theories typically suffer from a crippled epistemology, in accordance with which it is rational to hold such theories, the best response consists in cognitive infiltration of extremist groups. Various policy dilemmas, such as the question whether it is better for government to rebut conspiracy theories or to ignore them, are explored in this light.

• Siempre que tengas que decidirte, y te encuentres con el obstáculo de no tener ninguna, la mejor manera de resolver el dilema, te darás cuenta, es simplemente haciendo girar una moneda. No para que el azar decida el asunto mientras tú estás pasivamente de pie, abatido; pero en el momento en que la moneda está en el aire, de repente sabes lo que estás esperando...

• El terrorismo islamista yihadista -una plaga que se ha extendido a casi todos los rincones del mundo- crea dolorosos dilemas para los pueblos y los responsables políticos que se enfrentan a él. Su avance rápido y cambiante ha confundido a veces los esfuerzos por comprender sus orígenes, motivos y objetivos. Su sofisticación a la hora de explotar los valores liberales plantea retos y dificultades al mundo occidental, y a los Estados democráticos liberales en general, a la hora de lograr políticas antiterroristas eficaces y equilibradas.

• England and all civilised nations stand in deadly peril of not having enough to eat. As mouths multiply, food resources dwindle. Land is a limited quantity, and the land that will grow wheat is absolutely dependent on difficult and capricious natural phenomena... I hope to point a way out of the colossal dilemma. It is the chemist who must come to the rescue of the threatened communities. It is through the laboratory that starvation may ultimately be turned into plenty... The fixation of atmospheric nitrogen is one of the great discoveries, awaiting the genius of chemists.

• Uno de los verdaderos dilemas que tenemos en nuestro país y en todo el mundo es que lo que funciona en política es la organización y el conflicto. Es decir, hacer distinciones tajantes. Pero en la vida real, lo que funciona son las redes y la cooperación. Y necesitamos victorias en la vida real, así que tenemos que volver a las redes y a la cooperación, no sólo al conflicto. Pero la política siempre ha girado en torno al conflicto, y en la cobertura de la política, la difusión de la información tiende a organizarse también en torno al conflicto.

• Fiction should be about moral dilemmas that are so bloody difficult that the author doesn't know the answer. What I hate in fiction is when the author knows better than the characters what they should do.

• El cuerno del dilema de la política energética es que lo que realmente impulsa la preocupación por esta energía en este país, a nivel visceral para la mayoría de la gente, son los altos precios del gas. Y si realmente se quiere luchar contra el calentamiento global y tratar de reducir nuestras emisiones de carbono, la forma más limpia, fácil y racional de hacerlo sería hacer que el precio del gas sea aún más alto a través de precios del gas muy rígidos.

• Vogue began to focus on the body as much as on the clothes, in part because there was little they could dictate with the anarchic styles...In a stunning move, an entire replacement culture was developed by naming a 'problem' where it had scarcely existed before, centering it on the women's natural state, and elevating it to the existential female dilemma...The number of diet-related articles rose 70 percent from 1968 to 1972...The lucrative 'transfer of guilt' was resurrected just in time.
