• A veces parece que estamos llegando a un periodo en el que nuestros sentidos y nuestras mentes ya no responden a una estimulación moderada. Parece que nos acercamos a la Edad de lo Bruto. La persuasión a través de discursos y libros se descarta con demasiada frecuencia en favor de manifestaciones disruptivas destinadas a aporrear a los no convencidos para que pasen a la acción.

• The aether: Invented by Isaac Newton, reinvented by James Clerk Maxwell. This is the stuff that fills up the empty space of the universe. Discredited and discarded by Einstein, the aether is now making a Nixonian comeback. It's really the vacuum, but burdened by theoretical, ghostly particles.

• When you begin a picture you often make some pretty discoveries. You must be on guard against these. Destroy the thing, do it over several times. In each destroying of a beautiful discovery, the artist does not really suppress it, but rather condenses it, makes it more substantial. What comes out in the end is the result of discarded finds. Otherwise you become your own connoisseur.

• Debe existir una unión entre el espíritu de la madera y el espíritu del hombre. La veta de la madera debe estar estrechamente relacionada con su función. La unión del borde de una tabla con una tabla contigua puede significar el éxito o el fracaso de una pieza. () Poco a poco, una forma evoluciona, del mismo modo que la naturaleza produce el árbol en primer lugar. El objeto creado puede vivir para siempre. El árbol vive en su nueva forma. El objeto no puede seguir un "estilo" transitorio, aquí por un momento, desechado al siguiente. Su atractivo debe ser universal. Cordial y receptivo, debe invitar al encuentro con el hombre.

• Creemos que son los grandes momentos los que definen nuestras vidas: la boda, el bebé, la casa nueva, el trabajo soñado. Pero, en realidad, esos grandes momentos de felicidad no son más que los signos de puntuación de nuestras sagas personales. La narración se escribe cada día en lo pequeño, lo sencillo y lo común. En tus pequeñas elecciones, en esos pequeños cambios. En lo que no se tiene en cuenta. En lo que se pasa por alto. En lo desechado. En lo reclamado.

• Ideas, as the raw material from which knowledge is produced, exist in superabundance, but that makes the production of knowledge more difficult rather than easier. Many ideas- probably most- will have to be discarded somewhere in the process of producing authenticated knowledge. Authentication is as important as the raw information itself, and the manner and speed of the authentication process can be crucial.

• Here's why I don't have time to 'play church': at the end of the day, when I was supposed to be discarded, and the tools came in to kill me, to crush my head or whatever you're supposed to do, the Lord took His hand, pushed in there, and pushed me back out of the way. And they thought they got me. But at the end of the day God had a plan for a broken situation.

• The purpose of history is to explain the present - to say why the world around us is the way it is. History tells us what is important in our world, and how it came to be. It tells us what is to be ignored, or discarded. That is true power - profound power. The power to define a whole society.

• For a prayer oriented religion the concept of a personal God is needed - to relate to. For meditation-oriented religions God is a useless hypothesis; it can be discarded easily into the dustbin. It is not needed.

• Marriage and parenting are the two strongest vows anyone will ever make. When you see these commitments being carelessly discarded, you can be certain that the ethics of that generation have been abandoned. ... What our society needs is a good dose of biblical ethic from God's people - the kind of ethic that requires us to keep our word no matter what the costs. Situational ethics have so shaped our society that even God's people have lost the concept of absolutes when it comes to keeping our word.

• Europa se ha deshecho de sus hijos. Un poco triunfalmente. Recuerdo que cuando estudiaba en un país las clínicas que hacían abortos luego lo preparaban todo para enviarlo a las fábricas de cosméticos. Maquillaje hecho con la sangre de inocentes. Y esto era algo de lo que presumir, porque era progresista.

• Many good Christians are confused about complex social issues of our day, such as doctor-assisted death or medical research which uses stem cells from human embryos. They wonder, 'Why shouldn't science use discarded fetuses for research?' And if someone finds his medical condition intolerable and hopeless, 'why shouldn't he have the legal right to end his life?' Although the Bible does not address these issues in particular, it does provide guiding insights.

• All films created by Walt Disney at the time of his major outpouring of work were carefully crafted to fit scenes, characters, moods and situations. If these elements changed in any way, songs - no matter how good they were - were discarded. Others were written for the new scenes. Many times, character songs were dropped because characters were dropped...sequences were dropped etc.

• Harry [Shearer] and I had an idea to do a movie about rock 'n' roll from the roadies' perspective, from backstage. Then Meat Loaf came out with a movie called Roadie and we thought, "Oh, we can't do that now." So we kind of discarded the idea.

• Had we adopted non-violence as the weapon of the strong, because we realised that it was more effective than any other weapon, in fact the mightiest force in the world, we would have made use of its full potency and not have discarded it as soon as the fight against the British was over or we were in a position to wield conventional weapons. But as I have already said, we adopted it out of our helplessness. If we had the atom bomb, we would have used it against the British.
