• The best tunes are songs with a face. You recognize them. You know them. It’s like a person. They have a face that’s outstanding. Other songs don’t have a face. You just hear them, that’s all. The really good ones are few and far between.

• Paul Davies takes us on a logically and rhetorically compelling modern search for human agency. This outstanding analysis, well informed by naturalistic views of our evolved affective nature, is the kind of philosophical work that is essential for a field to move forward when ever-increasing findings from modern science are inconsistent with traditional philosophical arguments. This book is for all who wish to immerse themselves in the modern search for free will. It is steeped in the rich liqueur of current scientific and philosophical perspectives and delusions.

• Durante el siglo pasado, y parte del anterior, la opinión generalizada era que existía un conflicto irreconciliable entre el conocimiento y la creencia. Entre las mentes avanzadas prevalecía la opinión de que ya era hora de que la creencia fuera sustituida cada vez más por el conocimiento; la creencia que no se basaba en el conocimiento era superstición y, como tal, debía ser combatida. Según esta concepción, la única función de la educación era abrir el camino al pensamiento y al conocimiento, y la escuela, como órgano destacado para la educación del pueblo, debía servir exclusivamente a ese fin.

• Citando a la excepcional profesora Marva Collins: "La voluntad es más importante que el coeficiente intelectual". Es maravilloso tener una mente estupenda, pero según mi experiencia, tener una inteligencia sobresaliente es una parte muy pequeña del paquete total que conduce al éxito y la felicidad. La disciplina, el trabajo duro, la perseverancia y la generosidad de espíritu son, en última instancia, mucho más importantes que la inteligencia.
