• Los lugares más ricos del mundo no son las minas de oro, los campos de petróleo, las minas de diamantes o los bancos. El lugar más rico es el cementerio. Allí yacen empresas que nunca se pusieron en marcha, obras maestras que nunca se pintaron... En el cementerio está enterrado el mayor tesoro de potencial sin explotar. Hay un tesoro dentro de ti que debe salir. No te vayas a la tumba con tu tesoro aún dentro de TI.

• Todos decimos que los datos son el próximo petróleo blanco. [Poseer el campo petrolífero no es tan importante como poseer la refinería, porque lo que dará mucho dinero es refinar el petróleo. Lo mismo ocurre con los datos, y hay que asegurarse de extraer el valor real de los datos].

• Technological revolutions are very hard to predict. My favourite example is someone in 1850 taking care of horses as a farrier. They would have said, "Look, horses have been part of human existence for 5,000 years. We are horse people. It's permanent." But all of a sudden, the internal combustion engine comes along and, with it, oil fields and automobiles, which basically replace the horse completely. So we often have these long periods of stability and then a sudden inflection point.

• Vivimos en una sociedad capitalista idiota y autoindulgente en la que la vida sexual de una estrella del pop es más importante que la inminente hambruna, las minas terrestres y los niños soldado en África, o más interesante que el mayor desastre natural provocado por el hombre en los campos petrolíferos de Oriente Próximo.

• We must surely appear to the world as exactly what we are: a nation that organizes its economy around consuming twice as much oil as it produces, and around the profligate wastefulness of the wars and campaigns required to defend such consumption. In recent years we have defined our national interest largely in terms of the oil fields and pipelines we need to procure fuel.

• It's important to Russia to be able to attract capital and to attract technology to develop their oil fields, their oil and gas fields, many of which suffer from lack of access to the very best technologies. And it's also important, and this has been the US government's view to have diversification of supply, diversification of supply roots and, of course, diversification in terms of alternative energy.

• Algún mecanismo de mi subconsciente tomó las características dominantes de varios boxeadores, pistoleros, contrabandistas, matones de los campos petrolíferos, jugadores y honrados trabajadores con los que había estado en contacto y, combinándolas todas, produjo la amalgama que yo llamo Conan el Cimmerio.

• Some people have criticized the United States and the United States military for guarding oil fields and not guarding the Iraqi National Museum which had priceless antiquities in it. They say that this shows a fundamental lack of respect for Iraqi history. I want to remind those people of this: The oldest relics in the museum, 5,000 or 6,000 years old. That oil is 65 million years old. You had to guard that. ... Those antiquities will only last another 5,000 or 6,000 years. When we burn that oil, those fumes will linger long after.

• There's a huge misconception that it's all about the oil, and the truth is there's actually not much oil left in Abyei. The misperception arose because when the peace agreement was signed in 2005, Abyei accounted for a quarter of Sudan's oil production. Since then, the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague defined major oil fields to lie outside Abyei. They're in the north now, not even up for grabs, and they account for one percent of the oil in Sudan. The idea that it's "oil-rich Abyei" is out of date.

• Esta curiosa fe se basa en la noción de que pronto desarrollaremos nuevas fuentes ilimitadas de energía: yacimientos petrolíferos nacionales, petróleo de esquisto, carbón gasificado, energía nuclear, energía solar, etcétera. Esto es fantasioso porque la causa básica de la crisis energética no es la escasez: es la ignorancia moral y la debilidad de carácter. No sabemos cómo utilizar la energía ni para qué utilizarla. Y no sabemos contenernos. Nuestra época se caracteriza tanto por el abuso y el despilfarro de la energía humana como por el abuso y el despilfarro de la energía de los combustibles fósiles.

• Which European leader today would not relish the wonder-working powers of a Moses? Budget deficit? Unpopular cuts? How about just a little miracle, an overnight increase in gold reserves, a new oil field, or the next world-changing communications technology? Surely that's not too much to ask.
