• The first western gardens were those in the Mediterranean basin. There in the desert areas stretching from North Africa to the valleys of the Euphrates, the so-called cradle of civilization, where plants were first grown for crops by settled communities, garden enclosures were also constructed. Gardens emphasized the contrast between two separate worlds: the outer one where nature remained awe-inspiringly in control and an inner artificially created sanctuary, a refuge for man and plants from the burning desert, where shade trees and cool canals refreshed the spirit and ensured growth.

• El fariseísmo se convirtió en talmudismo...Pero el espíritu del antiguo fariseo sobrevive inalterado. Cuando el judío...estudia el Talmud, en realidad está repitiendo los argumentos utilizados en las academias palestinas. De Palestina a Babilonia; de Babilonia al norte de África, Italia, España, Francia y Alemania; de éstos a Polonia, Rusia y Europa oriental en general, el fariseísmo antiguo ha vagado.

• When I got the women's marathon into the Olympics and we had races all over the world I thought, 'That's great, now we're heading towards total equality.' Then you see that there are women who are still not allowed to drive, get an education, or travel unless they have a male companion or can't carry their passport. There are those who are mired with incredible poverty in North Africa, the mid-east, South East Asia and there's a ridiculous amount of human trafficking.

• El ganado adoptado en África eran especies euroasiáticas que llegaron desde el norte. El eje longitudinal de África, como el de América, es norte/sur y no este/oeste. Esos mamíferos domésticos euroasiáticos se extendieron muy lentamente hacia el sur de África, porque tenían que adaptarse a zonas climáticas distintas y a enfermedades animales diferentes.

• He leído todos los libros, he visto todas las películas y ahora, gracias a la gloria del juego en casa, incluso he podido vivirlo: He desembarcado en las playas de Normandía, he mantenido con éxito el puente de Pegaso y he inutilizado tanques alemanes con Panzerfausts robados. He luchado en Italia, Francia y el norte de África, y si me dieran un euro por cada vida virtual que he perdido, podría construir una réplica del búnker de Hitler en el jardín de mi casa.

• Los negros no fueron esclavizados por ser negros, sino porque estaban disponibles. La esclavitud existe en el mundo desde hace miles de años. Los blancos esclavizaron a otros blancos en Europa durante siglos antes de que el primer negro fuera traído al hemisferio occidental. Los asiáticos esclavizaron a los europeos. Los asiáticos esclavizaron a otros asiáticos. Los africanos esclavizaron a otros africanos y, de hecho, aún hoy en el norte de África, los negros siguen esclavizando a otros negros.

• Bajo la dirección del Reich, Europa se habría unificado rápidamente. Una vez erradicado el veneno judío, la unificación habría sido un asunto fácil. Francia e Italia, cada una derrotada a su vez en un intervalo de pocos meses por las dos potencias germánicas, habrían estado bien fuera de juego. Ambas habrían tenido que renunciar a sus inapropiadas aspiraciones de grandeza. Al mismo tiempo habrían tenido que renunciar a sus pretensiones en el norte de África y Oriente Próximo; y eso habría permitido a Europa seguir una audaz política de amistad hacia el Islam.

• Si hubiéramos permitido que las cosas derivaran, todo habría ido de mal en peor. Nasser se habría convertido en una especie de Mussolini musulmán, y nuestros amigos de Irak, Jordania, Arabia Saudí e incluso Irán habrían ido cayendo poco a poco. Sus esfuerzos se habrían extendido hacia el oeste, y Libia y el norte de África habrían quedado bajo su control.
