• A famous violinist once said. Music transcends words. By exchanging notes, you get to know one another, to understand one another. As if your souls were connected and your hearts were overlapping. It's a conversation through instruments. A miracle that creates harmony. In that moment, music transcends words.

• Estamos formados por todo un parlamento de piezas, partes y subsistemas. Más allá de una colección de sistemas expertos locales, somos colecciones de mecanismos superpuestos e incesantemente reinventados, un grupo de facciones en competencia. La mente consciente fabrica historias para explicar la dinámica, a veces inexplicable, del subsistema dentro del cerebro. Puede ser inquietante considerar hasta qué punto todas nuestras acciones están impulsadas por sistemas programados que hacen lo que mejor saben hacer mientras nosotros nos superponemos historias sobre las opciones.

• Sometimes I use words to throw you from once scene to the other, and sometimes I use words to pull you from one scene to the other. You might not be aware of it, but I may have overlapping words one way or the other. So, I'm actually using words.

• Hay dos partidos financiados por profundos intereses corporativos, en gran medida superpuestos, que empiezan a converger. Tienes a la intelligentsia republicana y a los portavoces republicanos, y a 50 figuras de seguridad del GOP que se han pasado al bando de Hillary [Clinton]. Por no hablar de Mitt Romney, que ha desertado de [Donald] Trump, aunque no está claro cuál va a ser su voto. Pero todos, desde John Negroponte a Meg Whitman, han declarado su lealtad a Hillary. Y Hillary también ha abierto formalmente la puerta a los republicanos.

• El multiverso como una construcción física real dentro de la física que se solapa con una comprensión más mística de muchos mundos posibles - la noción de que existe una raíz a nivel cuántico entre la intención y la realidad, entre la conciencia y la existencia - no es cuestión de intentar explicar el misterio de la magia con un mecanismo pat de una pseudociencia, es sólo cuestión de intentar fundamentarlo en un dominio.

• Sonó un disparo que hizo un agujero en la puerta. Una ballesta atravesó el agujero y se clavó temblorosa en la pared opuesta. Seth oyó el traqueteo del caballo balancín por la escalera, el tintineo de las cuerdas de los arcos y el golpeteo superpuesto de varios otros proyectiles que aporreaban la puerta. "Ha sido increíble", le dijo Seth a Kendra. "Eres un psicótico", replicó Kendra.

• Spent the fortnight gone in the music room reworking my year's fragments into a 'sextet for overlapping soloists': piano, clarinet, 'cello, flute, oboe, and violin, each in its own language of key, scale, and color. In the first set, each solo is interrupted by its successor; in the second, each interruption is recontinued, in order. Revolutionary or gimmicky? Shan't know until it's finished, and by then it'll be too late.

• Churches are the primary partners that work with Habitat in an almost infinite variety of creative overlapping circles. We cherish these partnerships with churches…I have always seen Habitat for Humanity as a servant of the church and as a vehicle through which the church and its people can express their love, faith, and servanthood to people in need in a very tangible and concrete (literally!) way.

• The practice of soulful travel is to discover the overlapping point between history and everyday life, the way to find the essence of every place, every day: in the markets, small chapels, out-of-the-way parks, craft shops. Curiosity about the extraordinary in the ordinary moves the heart of the traveler intent on seeing behind the veil of tourism.

• En última instancia, el patrón jerárquico no se parece en nada al testigo directo de la evolución orgánica que se suele suponer. Hay facetas de la jerarquía que no se derivan naturalmente de ningún tipo de proceso evolutivo aleatorio no dirigido. Si la jerarquía sugiere algún modelo de la naturaleza es la tipología y no la evolución. Cuánto más fácil sería argumentar a favor de la evolución si todas las divisiones de la naturaleza fueran borrosas e indistintas, si el systema naturalae estuviera formado en gran parte por clases superpuestas indicativas de secuencia y continuidad.

• [The canonization of the Koran involved the] attribution of several, partially overlapping, collections of logia [sayings] (exhibiting a distinctly Mosaic imprint) to the image of a Biblical prophet (modified by the material of the Muhammadan evangelium into an Arabian man of God) with a traditional message of salvation (modified by the influence of Rabbinic Judaism into the unmediated and finally immutable word of God).

• When you are in your twenties, even if you're confused and uncertain about your aims and purposes, you have a strong sense of what life itself is, and of what you in life are, and might become. Later.. later there is more uncertainty, more overlapping, more backtracking, more false memories. Back then, you can remember your short life in its entirety. Later, the memory becomes a thing of shreds and patches.

• People of different religions and cultures live side by side in almost every part of the world, and most of us have overlapping identities which unite us with very different groups. We can love what we are, without hating what – and who – we are not. We can thrive in our own tradition, even as we learn from others, and come to respect their teachings.
