• In my judgment, if we had pursued this course, the zones would have been of short duration. England would have been compelled to take her mines out of the North Sea in order to get any supplies from our country.

• De hecho, es necesario reducir las emisiones de CO2. No hay razón para que no pasemos nuestras vacaciones en Sylt (la isla del Mar del Norte) en vez de en las Seychelles, o para que conduzcamos coches más económicos, aunque sólo sea por preservar unos recursos cada vez más escasos. Pero eso no nos permitirá detener el cambio climático. Mientras China, India y Estados Unidos sigan como hasta ahora, lo que hagamos los alemanes será más o menos irrelevante.

• El único río de verdad que conocí no era más que un arroyo. Se derramaba a través de un molino en ruinas al pie de nuestra carretera, se abría en una pequeña charca turbia y luego corría a través de praderas de agua sobre bajíos de grava hasta Fakenham [Inglaterra], donde se ralentizaba y se hacía más profundo, cobrando fuerza para las largas derivas a través de llanuras fangosas hasta Norwich y el Mar del Norte.

• Britain has squandered its windfall of natural resources from North Sea oil and gas. Instead of prudently investing the 'unearned income' from nature, to build a safe, clean and green energy supply for the nation, we face unnecessary shortages. But there is still a chance to put the proceeds from liquidating our fossil fuel assets to better and more appropriate use. Instead of oil companies profiteering from climate change and oil depletion, a windfall tax could establish an Oil Legacy Fund to pay for Britain's urgent transition to a sustainable, decentralised energy system

• El impulso del desarrollo económico de Asia ya está generando presiones masivas para la exploración y explotación de nuevas fuentes de energía y se sabe que la región de Asia Central y la cuenca del Mar Caspio contienen reservas de gas natural y petróleo que empequeñecen las de Kuwait, el Golfo de México o el Mar del Norte.

• The sun's champagne streamed from one body into another. And there was a couple on the green silk of the grass, covered by a raspberry umbrella. Only their feet and a little bit of lace could be seen. In the magnificent universe beneath the raspberry umbrella, with closed eyes, they drank in the sparkling madness. 'Extra! Extra! Zeppelins over the North Sea at 3 o'clock.' But under the umbrella, in the raspberry universe, they were immortal. What did it matter that in another far-away universe people would be killing each other?

• Imagine if for years your habit is to use the phone when you're having a massage on the bed, even one minute before going out to train? For 25 days I accepted this, because my first priority was to work on the field. However, I've said that from now if someone comes inside with a mobile phone, even in their bag, I'll throw it in the North Sea. They're banned.
