• Nuestra cultura ha aceptado dos grandes mentiras. La primera es que si no estás de acuerdo con el estilo de vida de alguien, debes temerle u odiarle. La segunda es que amar a alguien significa estar de acuerdo con todo lo que cree o hace. Ambas cosas son absurdas. No tienes que comprometer tus convicciones para ser compasivo.

• Una persona inteligente y sensible no puede vivir mucho tiempo en esta sociedad sin enfadarse un poco por la desigualdad, y no se trata de un sentimiento liberal, sino de una reacción humana normal ante unos valores absurdos en los que tenemos hilo dental con sabor a canela y hay gente durmiendo en la calle.

• People who hold important positions in society are commonly labelled "somebodies," and their inverse "nobodies"-both of which are, of course, nonsensical descriptors, for we are all, by necessity, individuals with distinct identities and comparable claims on existence. Such words are nevertheless an apt vehicle for conveying the disparate treatment accorded to different groups. Those without status are all but invisible: they are treated brusquely by others, their complexities trampled upon and their singularities ignored.

• Politics is work. Hiphop is music. The idea that hiphop, because it makes the body feel good to move to it and it makes the soul feel good to hear out angry young black men, can be transmuted into changing the world is narcotic but nonsensical. Wherever hiphop is ever "going," we can be sure it will not be in a constructive direction, anymore than fashions in the color of cars. And it shouldn't "concern" us in the least.

• In a way women are fleshier because of estrogen. It's hard for us to lose weight because when we get super skinny we don't ovulate. Women in camps during the Holocaust didn't menstruate and didn't ovulate. They were starving; they were terrified. Why emulate that condition? It's nonsensical to me.

• Both Kant and Fichte thought of traditions of revealed religion as ways of symbolically (that is, with aesthetic emotional power) thinking about our moral condition. Both thought that religion would become more and not less powerful, emotionally and morally, if the claims of scriptures and religious teachings were taken symbolically rather than literally (whatever 'literally' might mean in the case of claims that are either nonsensical or outdated or historically unsupportable if taken as metaphysical or historical assertions).

• El propio término ['enfermedad mental'] carece de sentido, es un error semántico. Las dos palabras no pueden ir juntas más que metafóricamente; no se puede tener una "enfermedad" mental más de lo que se puede tener una idea púrpura o un espacio sabio". Del mismo modo, no puede haber una "enfermedad mental" más de lo que puede haber una "enfermedad moral". Las palabras "mental" y "enfermedad" no van juntas lógicamente. La "enfermedad" mental no existe, como tampoco existe la "salud" mental. Estos términos sólo indican aprobación o desaprobación de algún aspecto de la mentalidad (pensamiento, emociones o comportamiento) de una persona.
