• The poet needs a ground in popular tradition on which he may work, and which, again, may restrain his art within the due temperance.

• Marriage is not something that can be accomplished all at once; it has to be constantly reaccomplished. A couple must never indulge in idle tranquility with the remark: "The game is won; let's relax." The game is never won. The chances of life are such that anything is possible. Remember what the dangers are for both sexes in middle age. A successful marriage is an edifice that must be rebuilt every day.

• Dubai fue una burbuja inmobiliaria. Simple y llanamente. Vayan a Dubai y vean lo que pasó.

• It is interesting to transport one's self back to the times when Astronomy began; to observe how discoveries were connected together, how errors have got mixed up with truth, have delayed the knowledge of it, and retarded its progress; and, after having followed the various epochs and traversed every climate, finally to contemplate the edifice founded on the labours of successive centuries and of various nations.

• El intelecto comienza con la observación de la naturaleza, procede a memorizar y clasificar los hechos así observados y, por deducción lógica, construye ese edificio de conocimiento propiamente llamado ciencia.

• Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space. I know of no sculpture, painting or music that exceeds the compelling spiritual command of the soaring shape of granite cliff and dome, of patina of light on rock and forest, and of the thunder and whispering of the falling, flowing waters. At first the colossal aspect may dominate; then we perceive and respond to the delicate and persuasive complex of nature.

  Ansel Adams

• Imagine that you are creating a fabric of human destiny with the object of making men happy in the end, giving them peace and rest at last. Imagine that you are doing this but that it is essential and inevitable to torture to death only one tiny creature...in order to found that edifice on its unavenged tears. Would you consent to be the architect on those conditions? Tell me. Tell the truth.

• Por una parte, estamos llamados a hacer de buenos samaritanos al borde del camino de la vida; pero eso será sólo un acto inicial. Un día tendremos que darnos cuenta de que hay que transformar todo el camino de Jericó para que los hombres y las mujeres no sean constantemente golpeados y robados mientras recorren la carretera de la vida. La verdadera compasión es algo más que arrojar una moneda a un mendigo; no es azarosa y superficial. Llega a ver que un edificio que produce mendigos necesita una reestructuración. "Tiempo de romper el silencio", en la iglesia de Riverside
