• Ya no entiendo a esta gente, que viaja en los trenes de cercanías a sus ciudades dormitorio. Estas personas que se llaman a sí mismas humanas, pero, por una presión que no sienten, se ven obligadas a hacer su trabajo como hormigas. ¿Con qué llenan su tiempo cuando están libres de trabajo en sus tontos domingos? Soy muy afortunado en mi profesión. Me siento como un granjero, con las pistas de aterrizaje como mis campos. Los que han probado alguna vez este tipo de comida no la olvidarán jamás. ¿No es así, amigos míos?

• What a place to be in is an old library! It seems as though all the souls of all the writers that have bequeathed their labours to these Bodleians were reposing here as in some dormitory, or middle state. I do not want to handle, to profane the leaves, their winding-sheets. I could as soon dislodge a shade. I seem to inhale learning, walking amid their foliage; and the odor of their old moth-scented coverings is fragrant as the first bloom of the sciential apples which grew amid the happy orchard.

• Esta es la izquierda criminal que no pertenece a un dormitorio, sino a una penitenciaría. La izquierda criminal no es un problema que deba resolver el Departamento de Filosofía o el Departamento de Inglés: es un problema para el Departamento de Justicia. Blanca o negra, la izquierda criminal está interesada en el poder. No está interesada en promover la renovación y las reformas que hacen que la democracia funcione; está interesada en promover las colisiones y los conflictos que destrozan la democracia.

  Spiro T. Agnew
