• In an echo of earlier times, the climate change prophets have in recent years tried to silence counter views and suppress dissent. August members of the Royal Society, a body once noted for its cultivation of debate in science, are now leaders of the 'science is settled' camp: the only debate they consider to be legitimate is about choice among the different forms of the centralized action they believe is required to deal with the problems they foresee.

• In high school, we studied a lot of poetical forms. I was really interested in the math that was involved and the strange live break ups. That gave me a great amount of respect for a rhymed stanza.

• Y pensad, compatriotas sudistas, qué clase de nación confederada podríamos tener si, tras la independencia, los políticos abandonaran los equívocos y hablaran con honestidad y firmeza sobre todas las cuestiones. Si cumplieran con su deber para con Dios, la nación y el pueblo, prácticamente no habría necesidad de ningún tipo de litigio federal.

• Era un sabueso, un enorme sabueso negro como el carbón, pero no un sabueso como jamás habían visto ojos mortales. De su boca abierta salía fuego, sus ojos brillaban con un resplandor humeante, su hocico, sus corvas y su papada se perfilaban en llamas parpadeantes. Nunca, en el sueño delirante de un cerebro desordenado, pudo concebirse nada más salvaje, más espantoso, más infernal que aquella forma oscura y aquel rostro salvaje que irrumpieron sobre nosotros desde el muro de niebla.

  Arthur Conan Doyle

• Does the human intellect, or "reason," really spring us free from our inherence in the depths of this wild proliferation of forms? Or on the contrary, is the human intellect rooted in, and secretly borne by, our forgotten contact with the multiple nonhuman shapes that surround us on every hand?

• The great mobility of the King forms one of the chief characteristics of all endgame strategy. In the middlegame the King is a mere 'super', in the endgame on the other hand - on of the 'principals'. We must therefore develop him, bring him nearer to the fighting line.

• While it might surprise many ecologists to hear, capitalism is itself the ultimate form of conservationism. Capitalists seek to conserve resources, not because of sentimental feelings about nature or the earth or whales or worry about the well-being of future generations, but simply because every drop of oil, every ton of ore, every shipment of wood saved is a cost reduction and money in the pocket.

• You don't change the world by hiding in the woods, wearing a hair shirt, or buying indulgences in the form of 'Save the Earth' bumper stickers. You do it by articulating a vision for the future and pursuing it with all the ingenuity humanity can muster.

• The Pacific Yew can be cut down and processed to produce a potent chemical, taxol, which offers some promise of curing certain forms of lung, breast and ovarian cancer in patients who would otherwise quickly die... It seems an easy choice - sacrifice the tree for a human life - until one learns that three trees must be destroyed for each patient treated.

• Recuerdo que una vez visité una exposición de esculturas al aire libre en Arnhem (Países Bajos). Uno de los artistas había colocado este aviso en la base de una majestuosa haya: "Las estatuas son talladas por tontos como yo: sólo Dios pudo hacer este árbol". Los taoístas miraron el interior del árbol. Veían a Dios presente, no como el superescultor, sino como la fuerza primigenia de la que el árbol extraía su ser y su forma específica. Tomar conciencia de este origen divino era para ellos un "gran conocimiento", que debía distinguirse del "pequeño conocimiento" de nuestra insignificante existencia cotidiana.

• The church seeks to help form people who can risk being peaceful in a violent world, risk being kind in a competitive world, risk being faithful in an age of cynicism, risk being gentle among those who admire the tough, risk love when it may not be returned, because we have the confidence that in Christ we have been reborn into a new reality.

• I have a large personal collection of pictures. For every project, I choose images. Usually I don't do this until I've done an extensive script breakdown and distilled the text down to poetic form. I have to plant enough seeds so that there will be vibration.

• Left to it's own devices, writing is like weather. It has a drama, a form, a force to it that shapes the day. Just as good rain clears the air, a good writing day clears the psyche. There is something very right about simply letting yourself write. And the way to do that is to begin, to begin where you are.
