• La importancia del lenguaje para la evolución de la cultura radica en que la humanidad estableció en el lenguaje un mundo aparte al lado del otro mundo, un lugar que consideraba tan firmemente establecido que, de pie sobre él, podía levantar el resto del mundo de sus goznes y hacerse dueño de él. En la medida en que el hombre ha creído durante mucho tiempo en los conceptos y nombres de las cosas como in aeternae veritates, se ha apropiado de ese orgullo por el que se elevó por encima del animal: realmente pensó que en el lenguaje poseía el conocimiento del mundo.

• Deep Listening is listening to everything all the time, and reminding yourself when you're not. But going below the surface too, it's an active process. It's not passive. I mean hearing is passive in that soundwaves hinge upon the eardrum. You can do both. You can focus and be receptive to your surroundings. If you're tuned out, then you're not in contact with your surroundings. You have to process what you hear. Hearing and listening are not the same thing.

• If you've never programmed a computer, you should. There's nothing like it in the whole world. When you program a computer, it does exactly what you tell it to do. It's like designing a machine — any machine, like a car, like a faucet, like a gas-hinge for a door — using math and instructions. It's awesome in the truest sense: it can fill you with awe.

• It is one of the consolations of philosophy that the benefit of showing how to dispense with a concept does not hinge on dispensing with it.

• No tienes idea de cuánta de la ineficacia de la humanidad proviene de pensar en las malas acciones de los demás y de nosotros mismos. No hay nada más miserable que sentir que por algún error en la vida no has llegado a ser lo que podrías haber sido, y que todas tus desgracias dependen de ese error.

• Almost all of the many predictions now being made about 1996 hinge on the internet's continuing exponential growth. But I predict the internet will soon go spectacularly supernova and in 1996 catastrophically collapse.

• I lifted my right foot to step up into the bus and collided head on with an invisible force that entered my awareness like a silently exploding stick of dynamite blowing the door of my usual consciousness open and off its hinges, splitting me in two. In the gaping space that appeared, what I had previously called "me" was forcefully pushed out of its usual location inside me into a new location that was approximately a foot behind and to the left of my head. "I" was now behind my body, looking out at the world without using the body's eyes.

• It's kind of funny...the moments on which life hinges. I think growing up you always imagine your life - your success - depends on your family and how much money they have, where you go to college, what sort of job you can pin down, starting salary...But it doesn't, you know. You wouldn't believe this, but life hinges on a couple of seconds you never see coming. And what you decide in those few seconds determines everything from then on... And you have no idea what you'll do until you're there.

• The situation was extraordinary. How someone like Evangeline Jenner could have wrought such a change in St. Vincent, the most worldly of men, was difficult to understand. However, Westcliff had learned that the mysteries of attraction could not always be explained through logic. Sometimes the fractures in two separate souls became the very hinges that held them together.

• Me gusta el poema en la página y no en el podio. Me gusta dirigirme al poema en paz y tranquilidad, no en el borde de una silla plegable con la vejiga llena. No soporto escuchar un poema que no puedo ver. Hice una lectura en Wayne State, y terminó con la comedia que merecen tales ocasiones. Me había sentado en un banco de piano, y descubrí al intentar levantarme al final que el barniz se había reblandecido y me había atascado rápido. La bisagra estaba hacia delante, bajo mis rodillas, de modo que al intentar levantarme sólo abrí la tapa.

• The missionary church is a praying church. The history of missions is a history of prayer. Everything vital to the success of the world's evangelization hinges on prayer. Are thousands of missionaries and tens of thousands of native workers needed? Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He send forth laborers into His harvest.

• What exists beneath the sea?I'd always pictured it in colors of emerald and aquamarine, where black velvet fish with sequined eyes swim among plankton.But, when my eyes adjust, I see gray stones, lost anchors, wet wood, buttons, hooks, and eyes, the salem witches who wouldn't float, stars and stripes, missing vessels, windup toys, the souls of Romeo and Juliet, peaches, cream, pistons, screams, cages of ribs and birds, tunnels, nutcracker soldiers, satin bows, drugstore signs, Pandora box ripped open at its hinges.

• El mundo depende de fundamentos morales. Dios lo ha hecho así. Dios ha hecho que el universo se base en una ley moral. Mientras el hombre la desobedezca, se estará rebelando contra Dios. Eso es lo que necesitamos en el mundo de hoy: personas que defiendan el bien y el derecho.

• Hay algo en este universo que justifica al escritor bíblico al decir: "Cosecharás lo que siembres". Este es un universo respetuoso de la ley. Este es un universo moral. Se basa en fundamentos morales. Si queremos hacer de éste un mundo mejor, tenemos que volver atrás y redescubrir ese precioso valor que hemos dejado atrás.
