• Con la vieja economía destruida, las formas organizativas perfeccionadas para la producción industrial tienen que ser sustituidas por estructuras optimizadas para los datos digitales. Cada vez tiene menos sentido incluso hablar de una industria editorial, porque el problema central que resuelve la edición -la increíble dificultad, complejidad y gasto de poner algo a disposición del público- ha dejado de ser un problema.

• Now, I stand alone on this rock, fighting the errors of this world, and establish the science of life by my works. What is my mode of warfare? With the axe of truth I strike at the root of every tree of error and hew it down, so that there shall not be one error in man showing itself in the form of disease.

• Comedy is the one absolutely self-aware art form. Actually, hip-hop's another one, I suppose. Because in your songs you're talking about how good a hip-hop artist you are. It's like a painter painting a panting of himself painting a painting.

• An Army is still a crowd, though a highly organized one. It is governed by the same laws, and under the stress of war is ever tending to revert to its crowd form. Our object in peace is so to train it that the reversion will become very slow.

• The Battle for the Philippines was the greatest naval battle in history, judged in terms of the number of ships taking part, the number of ships sunk, and the importance of its outcome. It included every form of naval warfare of the 20th century: gunnery duels between battleships; destroyer battles at night and by day, as ferocious and sustained as any at the Battle of Jutland; submarines that stalked the depths; sinking many ships; and finally, carrier warfare on a scale never dreamed of even by the most ardent enthusiasts of air warfare at sea.

• El error que subyace a la existencia misma de este debate es que existe algún tipo de forma platónica perfecta del lenguaje informático, que algunos lenguajes reales reflejan más perfectamente que otros. Plato era brillante para su época, pero la realidad no es expresable en términos de visiones arbitrarias de la perfección y, además, el ideal de un programador suele ser el infierno de otro.

• In play, the child is always behaving beyond his age, above his usual everyday behaviour; in play he is, as it were, a head above himself. Play contains in a concentrated form, as in the focus of a magnifying glass, all developmental tendencies; it is as if the child tries to jump above his usual level.

• Scottish operative lodges began in the seventeenth century to admit non-operative members as accepted or gentleman masons and that by the early eighteenth century in some lodges the accepted or gentleman masons had gained the ascendancy: those lodges became, in turn speculative lodges, whilst others continued their purely operative nature. The speculative lodges eventually combined to form the Grand Lodge of Scotland in 1736.

• El fascismo es el resultado del colapso del orden espiritual y social de Europa... las catástrofes rompieron la rutina cotidiana que hace que los hombres acepten las formas, instituciones y principios existentes como leyes naturales inalterables. De repente, dejaron al descubierto el vacío que se ocultaba tras la fachada de la sociedad.

• Possibly the tragedy of the bicycle is that it was invented too close in time to the car. In the historical scheme, pedal power hardly got under way before the combustion engine appeared and, not only took over the roads, but changed our view of machines. We've forgotten that pedal power is a potent form of energy.

• Those forms we fancy shadows, those strange lights That flash on dank morasses, the quick wind That smites us by the roadside—are the Night's Innumerable children. Unconfined By shroud or coffin, disembodied souls, Uneasy spirits, steal into the air From festering graveyards when the curfew tolls At the day's death... And wheresoever murders have been done, In stately palaces or lonesome woods, Where'er a soul has sold itself and lost Its high inheritance, there, hovering, broods Some sad, invisible, accurséd Ghost!
