• We're so accessible, we're inaccessible. We can't find the off switch on our devices or on ourselves.... We want to wear an iPod as much to listen to our playlists as to block out the rest of the world and protect ourselves from all that noise. We are everywhere - except where we actually are physically.

• Admittedly, key archival documentation remains under lock and key and will be inaccessible for a long time to come. But enough material is available, in the form of declassified documents, memoirs, oral histories and journalistic treatments, to begin to piece together the story.

• This is newness: every little tawdry Obstacle glass-wrapped and peculiar, Glinting and clinking in a saint's falsetto. Only you Don't know what to make of the sudden slippiness, The blind, white, awful, inaccessible slant. There's no getting up it by the words you know. No getting up by elephant or wheel or shoe. We have only come to look. You are too new To want the world in a glass hat.

• La creación no está teniendo lugar ahora, por lo que se puede observar. Por tanto, se llevó a cabo en algún momento del pasado, si es que tuvo lugar, y por tanto es inaccesible al método científico.

• El Gran Hombre... es más frío, más duro, menos vacilante y sin miedo a la 'opinión'; carece de las virtudes que acompañan al respeto y a la 'respetabilidad', y en conjunto de todo lo que es la 'virtud del rebaño'. Si no puede dirigir, va solo... Sabe que es incomunicable: le parece de mal gusto ser familiar... Cuando no habla consigo mismo, lleva una máscara. Hay en él una soledad inaccesible al elogio o a la culpa.

  Friedrich Nietzsche

• Whoever is born in New York is ill-equipped to deal with any other city: all other cities seem, at best, a mistake, and, at worst, a fraud. No other city is so spitefully incoherent. Whereas other cities flaunt there history - their presumed glory - in vividly placed monuments, squares, parks, plaques, and boulevards, such history as New York has been unable entirely to obliterate is to be found, mainly, in the backwaters of Wall Street, in the goat tracks of Old and West Broadway, in and around Washington Square, and, for the relentless searcher, in grimly inaccessible regions of The Bronx.

  James A. Baldwin

• Me he convertido en una estrella que se derrumba, arrastrando todo a su alrededor, incluso la luz, hacia un vacío cada vez mayor. Cuando pierda toda capacidad de comunicarme con el mundo exterior, sólo me quedará lo que recuerdo. Mis recuerdos serán como un banco de arena, separado de la orilla por la marea. Con el tiempo, quedarán sumergidos, inaccesibles para mí. La perspectiva me aterroriza. ¿Qué es una persona sin recuerdos? Un fantasma, atrapado entre mundos, sin identidad, sin futuro ni pasado.

• The man is a humbug — a vulgar, shallow, self-satisfied mind, absolutely inaccessible to the complexities and delicacies of the real world. He has the journalist's air of being a specialist in everything, of taking in all points of view and being always on the side of the angels: he merely annoys a reader who has the least experience of knowing things, of what knowing is like. There is not two pence worth of real thought or real nobility in him. But he isn't dull.

• Esperar que las complejidades de la ciencia sean atravesadas por una mirada descuidada, o que las eminencias de la fama sean ascendidas sin trabajo, es esperar un privilegio peculiar, un poder negado al resto de la humanidad; pero suponer que el laberinto es inescrutable a la diligencia, o las alturas inaccesibles a la perseverancia, es someterse dócilmente a la tiranía de la fantasía, y encadenar la mente con grilletes voluntarios.

• El conocimiento de un hombre ignorante es vivo y exuberante como un bosque, pero cubierto de musgos y líquenes y, en su mayor parte, inaccesible y echándose a perder; el conocimiento del hombre de ciencia es como la madera recogida en los patios para las obras públicas, que todavía sostiene un brote verde aquí y allá, pero incluso éste está expuesto a la podredumbre seca.

• If you are ambitious of climbing up to the difficult, and in a manner inaccessible, summit of the Temple of Fame, your surest way is to leave on one hand the narrow path of Poetry, and follow the narrower track of Knight-Errantry, which in a trice may raise you to an imperial throne.

• There is a solitude, which each and every one of us has always carried with him, more inaccessible than the ice-cold mountains, more profound than the midnight sea; the solitude of self. Our inner being, which we call ourself, no eye nor touch of man or angel has ever pierced.

• Nothing in life is certain except death, taxes and the second law of thermodynamics. All three are processes in which useful or accessible forms of some quantity, such as energy or money, are transformed into useless, inaccessible forms of the same quantity. That is not to say that these three processes don't have fringe benefits: taxes pay for roads and schools; the second law of thermodynamics drives cars, computers and metabolism; and death, at the very least, opens up tenured faculty positions.
