• We must be forewarned that only rarely does a text easily lend itself to the reader's curiosity... the reading of a text is a transaction between the reader and the text, which mediates the encounter between the reader and writer. It is a composition between the reader and the writer in which the reader "rewrites" the text making a determined effort not to betray the author's spirit.

• La persona que tiene una meta fija, una imagen clara de su deseo, o un ideal siempre ante sí, hace que, a través de la repetición, se entierre profundamente en su mente subconsciente y es así capaz, gracias a su poder generador y sustentador, de realizar su meta en un mínimo de tiempo y con un mínimo de esfuerzo físico. Sólo persigue el pensamiento sin cesar. Paso a paso alcanzarás la realización, porque todas tus facultades y poderes se dirigen hacia ese fin.

The levels of synthetic pesticide residues are trivial in comparison to natural chemicals, and thus their potential for cancer causation is extremely low. [Ames believes that "to eat your veggies" is the best way to prevent cancer.]

• Had (I) been a member of a more popular race, I should have been inclined to yield to the temptation of depending upon my ancestry and my colour to do that for me which I should do for myself.

• Hay una vieja canción que afirma que "las mejores cosas de la vida son gratis". ¡No es verdad! ¡Totalmente falso! Esa fue la trágica falacia que provocó la decadencia y el colapso de las democracias del siglo XX; esos nobles experimentos fracasaron porque se había hecho creer a la gente que podía votar simplemente por lo que quisiera... y conseguirlo sin esfuerzo, sin sudor, sin lágrimas. Nada de valor es gratis. Incluso el aliento de la vida se compra al nacer sólo con esfuerzo y dolor.
