• We have scarcely gotten home ... when our children's sneezes greet us, skinned knees bleed after waiting all day to do so. There is the bellyache and the burned-out basement bulb, the stalled car and the incontinent cat. The windows frost, the toilets sweat, the body of our spouse is one cold shoulder and the darkness of our bedroom is soon full of the fallen shadows of our failures.

  William H. Gass

• A university is not a service station. Neither is it a political society, nor a meeting place for political societies. With all its limitations and failures, and they are invariably many, it is the best and most benign side of our society insofar as that society aims to cherish the human mind.

• I have never worked for fame or praise, and shall not feel their loss as I otherwise would. I have never for a moment lost sight of the humble life I was born to, its small environments, and the consequently little right I had to expect much of myself, and shall have the less to censure, or upbraid myself with for the failures I must see myself make.

• Many businessmen fail to understand Python principles--the ultimate absurdity was an offer from America to buy the 'format' of the Python shows, that is, Monty Python without the Pythons--corporate methods do not have the conceptual framework to deal with an anarchist collective, run by intelligent and arrogant comedians who have proved that their method works.

• I would be a winner because I was a loser! That's right. I dream of failure every night of my life, and that's my secret. To makeit in this rat race you have to dream of failing every day. I mean, that is reality.

• Nagging questions remain: Where is the line between making the most of one's potential and reaching for the unattainable? Where is the line between education as a tool and education as a kind of magic? The line is blurred and that is why when education fails, disillusionment is so bitter.

• Girls tend to attribute their failures to factors such as lack of ability, while boys tend to attribute failure to specific factors, including teachers' attitudes. Moreover, girls avoid situations in which failure is likely, whereas boys approach such situations as a challenge, indicating that failure differentially affects self-esteem.

• El punto de vista de Bohr, de que una descripción espacio-temporal es imposible, lo rechazo a limine. La física no consiste sólo en la investigación atómica, la ciencia no consiste sólo en la física y la vida no consiste sólo en la ciencia. El objetivo de la investigación atómica es encajar nuestro conocimiento empírico sobre ella en nuestro otro pensamiento. Todo este otro pensamiento, en la medida en que se refiere al mundo exterior, actúa en el espacio y en el tiempo. Si no puede encajarse en el espacio y el tiempo, entonces fracasa en todo su objetivo y no se sabe para qué sirve realmente.

• ...cuando estamos pasando por las secuelas de una mala sacudida en pérdida de dinero o de orgullo -y ambas cosas están estrechamente relacionadas-, deberíamos aislarnos, hacer una evaluación honesta de nuestros defectos e intentar encontrar nuestros puntos débiles y reforzarlos antes de volver a empezar. Lo primero en el programa es idear un plan para comer. El dinero que hemos perdido es poca cosa; si podemos mantener nuestro orgullo y una fe firme en nosotros mismos, la batalla que nos espera está medio ganada antes de empezar.

• In the ordinary course of things, how many succeed in society merely by virtue of their manners, while others, however meritorious, fail through lack of them? After all, it's only barbarians who wear uncut precious stones.

• In truth, it's usually failure, disappointment, and frustration that motivate people to reexamine that which they've taken for granted. It's rare to find big change without significant bad news. ... In that sense, the pain of failure creates the largest opportunities for progress.

• A los que afirman que el liberalismo se ha probado y ha fracasado, les respondo que el fracaso no está en la idea, sino en el curso de la historia reciente. La Segunda Guerra Mundial puso fin al New Deal. La Nueva Frontera se cerró con Berlín y Cuba casi antes de abrirse. Y la Gran Sociedad perdió su grandeza en las selvas de Indochina.
