• Nunca olvidaré mi primer encuentro con los gorilas. El sonido precedía a la vista. El olor precedió al sonido en forma de un abrumador aroma a almizcle de corral, parecido al humano. De repente, una serie de gritos agudos desgarraron el aire, seguidos del rítmico rondo de agudos pok-pok de un gran macho de espalda plateada oculto tras lo que parecía un muro impenetrable de vegetación.

• Crying, that is, sobbing is the earliest and deepest way to release tension. Infants can cry almost from the moment of birth, and do so easily following every stress that produces a state of tension in the body... Human beings are the only creatures who can react in this way to stress and tension. Most probably, they are the only ones who need this form of release.

• The question of the origin of life is essentially speculative. We have to construct, by straightforward thinking on the basis of very few factual observations, a plausible and self-consistent picture of a process which must have occurred before any of the forms which are known to us in the fossil record could have existed.

• Los números transfinitos son, en cierto sentido, nuevas irracionalidades y, de hecho, en mi opinión, el mejor método para definir los números irracionales finitos es totalmente diferente, e incluso podría decir que en principio es el mismo, que mi método descrito anteriormente para introducir los números transfinitos. Se puede decir incondicionalmente: los números transfinitos están o no están con los números irracionales finitos; se parecen en su ser más íntimo; porque los primeros como los segundos son formas delimitadas o modificaciones del infinito real.

• Entonces no le quedaba ninguna causa justa, y el dolor de la ira se convertía en el vergonzoso dolor de la sumisión. No tenía derecho a condenar a nadie -pensó-, a denunciar nada, a luchar y morir alegremente, reivindicando la santidad de la virtud. Las promesas rotas, los deseos inconfesados, la traición, el engaño, las mentiras, el fraude... él era culpable de todo ello. ¿Qué forma de corrupción podía despreciar? Los grados no importan, pensó; uno no regatea centímetros de maldad.

• It's not that we need to form new organizations. It's simply that we have to awaken to new ways of thinking. I believe it makes no sense to spend a lot of time attacking the current realities. It is time to create the new models that have in them the complexity that makes the older systems obsolete. And to the extent that we can do that, and do that quickly, I think we can provide what will be necessary for a major breakthrough for the future.

• Individual price and wage changes will not be prevented. In the main, price changes will simply be concealed by taking the form of changes in discounts, service, and quality, and wage changes, in overtime, perquisites and so on…. But to whatever extent the freeze is enforced, it will do harm by distorting relative prices.

• It is my view that what is important is cutting government spending, however spending is financed. A so-called deficit is a disguised and hidden form of taxation. The real burden on the public is what government spends (and mandates others to spend). As I have said repeatedly, I would rather have government spend one trillion dollars with a deficit of a half a trillion than have government spend two trillion dollars with no deficit.

• Fisiológicamente, el hombre, en el uso normal de la tecnología (o de su cuerpo diversamente extendido), se ve perpetuamente modificado por ella y, a su vez, encuentra formas siempre nuevas de modificar su tecnología. El hombre se convierte, por así decirlo, en el órgano sexual del mundo de las máquinas, como la abeja del mundo de las plantas, permitiéndole fecundar y hacer evolucionar formas siempre nuevas. El mundo de las máquinas corresponde al amor del hombre satisfaciendo sus deseos y anhelos, es decir, proporcionándole riquezas.

• Si alguna vez había escrito un best-seller, había sido un puro accidente, debido a la falta de atención y a la ingenuidad, y me cuidaría muy bien de no volver a hacer lo mismo. Si tenía un mensaje para mis contemporáneos, decía, era sin duda éste: Sed lo que queráis, locos, borrachos y cabrones de toda forma, pero evitad a toda costa una cosa: el éxito.

• You can put your TV in the garage, avoid movies altogether, and use earplugs to spare your hearing from the sounds of hip-hop or heavy metal, but these forms of entertainment will still change your life through their influence on everyone else in society. Though you may struggle to protect your own kids from music that encourages violence or drugs or irresponsible sex, you can't possibly protect them from all the other kids in your community who have received full exposure.
