  Pain au Dunk: Fists of bread, rent from the loaf and dunked into anything runnier than bread. Should eat at least six of these because…you should. Don’t toast the bread. Toast is cookery.

• The deadliest foe of democracy is not autocracy but liberty frenzied. Liberty is not foolproof. For its beneficent working it demands self-restraint, a sane and clear recognition of the practical and attainable, and of the fact that there are laws of nature which are beyond our power to change.

• I think we're fooling ourselves if we think that regulators are going to be able to outsmart the bankers. So, the task of designing regulatory reform is trying to make more or less foolproof regulation and that's one of the advantages of the systemic category.

• Es una pena que sea tan impaciente y descuidado, ya que cualquier persona normal podría aprender todas las técnicas de la fotografía en una semana. Es el arte democrático, es decir, la destreza técnica queda prácticamente eliminada -cuanto más infalibles sean las cámaras con los artilugios de enfoque y exposición, mejor- y la calidad artística sólo depende de la elección del tema.

• Además, a medida que se ha ido generalizando el uso de cámaras pequeñas, rápidas e infalibles, la cámara fotográfica ha sido utilizada tanto y tan fláccidamente por tanta gente que ha actuado como una especie de anticonceptivo de la capacidad de ver.

• El panorama general es el siguiente: lo principal que debe preocuparte en el futuro son los rendimientos incrementales del capital en el futuro. Resulta que el historial de un buen rendimiento del capital es un buen indicador, pero obviamente no es infalible. Creo que este es un ámbito en el que un análisis minucioso puede añadir valor a cualquier estrategia simple de clasificación/selección, como la fórmula mágica. Cuando realizo un análisis en profundidad de las empresas, me importa mucho el poder de los beneficios a largo plazo, no necesariamente tanto la volatilidad de ese poder de beneficios como mi certeza de un poder de beneficios "normal" a lo largo del tiempo.

• There are certain scenes in the edit you're playing with it and certain scenes don't put back together the way you imagined. Sometimes they're better and sometimes they don't have that thing, so it's never foolproof. But you certainly get an idea that here we've got enough and we've got to move on because you're always against time and money there. Whatever the budget is, you have to get practical about it.

• The widespread abuse of prisoners is a virtually foolproof indication that politicians are trying to impose a system--whether political, religious or economic--that is rejected by large numbers of the people they are ruling. Just as ecologists define ecosystems by the presence of certain "indicator species" of plants and birds, torture is an indicator species of a regime that is engaged in a deeply anti-democratic project, even if that regime happens to have come to power through elections.

• Cuando por fin reuní, inventé, robé, simplifiqué, tomé prestadas y encontré un editor para un puñado de recetas razonablemente infalibles, me enteré de que tenía amigos de los que no sabía nada: una prueba más de que una aversión mutua puede ser una base tan sólida para la amistad como una devoción mutua.
