• Capitalism survives by forcing the majority, whom it exploits, to define their own interests as narrowly as possible. This was once achieved by extensive deprivation. Today in the developed countries it is being achieved by imposing a false standard of what is and what is not desirable.

• La Biblia está llena de interés. Contiene poesía noble, algunas fábulas ingeniosas, un poco de historia sangrienta, algo de buena moral, una gran cantidad de obscenidades y más de mil mentiras. Esta Biblia está construida principalmente a partir de fragmentos de Biblias más antiguas que tuvieron su día y se desmoronaron. Por lo tanto, carece necesariamente de originalidad. Sus tres o cuatro acontecimientos más imponentes e impresionantes ocurrieron todos en Biblias anteriores; sólo hay dos cosas nuevas en ella: el infierno, por un lado, y ese cielo singular del que les he hablado.

  Mark Twain

• Activist Supreme Courts are not new. The Dred Scott decision in 1856, imposing slavery in free territories; the Plessy decision in 1896, imposing segregation on a private railroad company; the Korematsu decision in 1944, upholding Franklin Roosevelt’s internment of American citizens, mostly Japanese Americans; and the Roe decision in 1973, imposing abortion on the entire nation; are examples of the consequences of activist Courts and justices.

• El impuesto de sucesiones castiga años de duro trabajo y despoja a las familias de parte de su patrimonio al imponer una enorme penalización a la herencia tras el fallecimiento: un impuesto sobre un dinero que ya ha sido gravado.

• To conceal a want of real ideas, many make for themselves an imposing apparatus of long compound words, intricate flourishes and phrases, new and unheard-of expressions, all of which together furnish an extremely difficult jargon that sounds very learned. Yet with all this they say-precisely nothing.

• Could the waters of the Atlantic be drawn off, so as to expose to view this great sea-gash, which separates continents, and extends from the Arctic to the Antarctic, it would present a scene the most rugged, grand, and imposing. The very ribs of the solid earth, with the foundations of the sea, would be brought to light, and we should have presented to us at one view the empty cradle of the ocean.

• Supernatural hasn't spent a lot of time on relationship stories, and this is a really nice mechanism to do that without imposing that on the forward momentum of these other stories that we're telling. In the writers' room we tend to say, "We're never going to be able to give a hell or Purgatory as good as people's imaginations," so the instinct is normally not to go there. But, we went the other way this year and said, "We are going to go there," because there's a really, really strong character thing going on down there.

• I no longer sought skill, flexibility, strength, endurance, muscle tone, and quick responsiveness as means of imposing my will on the instrument, but rather of keeping an open and unrestricted pathway for the creative impulse to play its music straight from the preconscious depths beneath and beyond me.

• There is no single approach that actors take to their craft. And the best thing you learn is that you have to really listen and respect each actor's own process and own method, and that takes a kind of delicate, non-imposing patience and openness, I think, to get the very best out of the people you work with.

• "Los profesores... no tratan a los alumnos de forma coercitiva ni instrumental, sino como buscadores conjuntos de la verdad y de la actualización mutua. Ayudan a los alumnos a definir los valores morales no imponiéndoles sus propias moralidades, sino planteando situaciones que plantean difíciles opciones morales y fomentando después el conflicto y el debate. Pretenden ayudar a los alumnos a ascender a niveles superiores de razonamiento moral y, por tanto, a niveles superiores de juicio basado en principios.

• I live alone, perhaps for no good reason, for the reason that I am an impossible creature, set apart by a temperament I have never learned to use as it could be used, thrown off by a word, a glance, a rainy day, or one drink too many. My need to be alone is balanced against my fear of what will happen when suddenly I enter the huge empty silence if I cannot find support there. I go up to Heaven and down to Hell in an hour, and keep alive only by imposing upon myself inexorable routines. I write too many letters and too few poems.

• One of the most difficult features of direct experience is that it is unfiltered by any theories or expectations. It's hard to observe without imposing a theory to explain what we're seeing, but the trouble with theories, as Einstein said, is that they explain not only what is observed, but what can be observed. We start to build expectations based on our theories.

• We cannot have a society in which some dictator some place can start imposing censorship here in the United States.

• Being a painter myself... whenever I could dispense with architectural precision, I indulged in the picturesque, in which case I sacrificed a few details when necessary in favor of an imposing effect that would give a monument its real character and also preserve the poetic charm that surrounds it.

• Los héroes rara vez tienen el aspecto que nos imaginamos: figuras atractivas e imponentes con músculos ondulantes y barbillas fuertes. La mayoría de las veces son seres humildes, pequeños y defectuosos. Sólo sus espíritus son bellos y fuertes.
