• La vanidad se extendía sobre todo a su biblioteca, posiblemente el verdadero amor de la vida de Cicerón. Es difícil nombrar algo que le produjera más placer, aparte posiblemente de la evasión de las leyes suntuarias. A Cicerón le gustaba creerse rico. Se enorgullecía de sus libros. No necesitaba más razones para que Cleopatra le cayera mal: las mujeres inteligentes que tenían mejores bibliotecas que él le ofendían por tres motivos.

• Creo que nos comunicamos demasiado bien, en nuestro silencio, en lo que no se dice, y que lo que tiene lugar es una continua evasión, desesperados intentos de retaguardia para mantenernos a nosotros mismos. La comunicación es demasiado alarmante. Entrar en la vida de otro es demasiado aterrador. Revelar a los demás la pobreza que llevamos dentro es una posibilidad demasiado temible.

• It is my secrecy which makes you unhappy, my evasions, my silences. And so I have found a solution. Whenever you get desperate with my mysteries, my ambiguities, here is a set of Chinese puzzle boxes. You have always said that I was myself a Chinese puzzle box. When you are in the mood and I baffle your love of confidences, your love of openness, your love of sharing experiences, then open one of the boxes. And in it you will find a story, a story about me and my life. Do you like this idea? Do you think it will help us to live together?

• Cuando un niño te pregunte algo, respóndele, por el amor de Dios. Pero no lo conviertas en un espectáculo. Los niños son niños, pero detectan las evasivas más rápido que los adultos, y las evasivas simplemente los confunden.

• Each man had only one genuine vocation - to find the way to himself....His task was to discover his own destiny - not an arbitrary one - and to live it out wholly and resolutely within himself. Everything else was only a would-be existence, an attempt at evasion, a flight back to the ideals of the masses, conformity and fear of one's own inwardness.

  Hermann Hesse

• At root, evangelical anti-intellectualism is both a scandal and a sin. It is a scandal in the sense of being an offense and a stumbling block that needlessly hinders serious people from considering the Christian faith and coming to Christ. It is a sin because it is a refusal, contrary to Jesus' two great commandments, to love the Lord our God with our minds. Anti-intellectualism is quite simply a sin. Evangelicals must address it as such, beyond all excuses, evasions, or rationalizations of false piety.

• Una ideología es un complejo de ideas o nociones que se representa a sí mismo ante el pensador como una verdad absoluta para la interpretación del mundo y de su situación en él; lleva al pensador a realizar un acto de autoengaño con fines de justificación, ofuscación y evasión en uno u otro sentido en su beneficio.
