• El libre albedrío no es la libertad de hacer lo que a uno le plazca, sino el poder de hacer lo que uno considera que debe hacerse, incluso frente a un impulso que de otro modo sería abrumador. Ahí reside la libertad.

• I wrote poetry in a secretive way, I think, a secret from myself, I mean. I wrote it because it gave me great pleasure to do so and because it relieved the ever-building pressure of the demanding world around me. It's always served me as a way of appraising, and controlling overwhelming experiences. But this need, and desire, was always in conflict with my need to "survive."

• Por el bien de nuestros hijos y de nuestro futuro, debemos hacer más para combatir el cambio climático. Es cierto que ningún fenómeno por sí solo marca una tendencia. Pero lo cierto es que los 12 años más calurosos de la historia se han producido en los últimos 15 años. Olas de calor, sequías, incendios forestales, inundaciones... todo es ahora más frecuente e intenso. Podemos optar por creer que la supertormenta Sandy, la sequía más grave de las últimas décadas y los peores incendios forestales que se han producido en algunos estados son sólo una extraña coincidencia. O podemos optar por creer en el abrumador juicio de la ciencia y actuar antes de que sea demasiado tarde.

• La cantidad de conocimientos que podemos justificar a partir de pruebas de las que disponemos directamente nunca puede ser grande. Por lo tanto, la inmensa mayoría de nuestras creencias fácticas siguen siendo de segunda mano, confiando en otros, y en la gran mayoría de los casos nuestra confianza se deposita en la autoridad de relativamente pocas personas de reconocido prestigio.

• Cuando se estrenó la primera película de Superman, concedí docenas de entrevistas para promocionarla. La pregunta más frecuente era: ¿Qué es un héroe? Mi respuesta era que un héroe es alguien que comete una acción valiente sin tener en cuenta las consecuencias. Ahora mi definición es completamente diferente. Creo que un héroe es un individuo corriente que encuentra la fuerza para perseverar y aguantar a pesar de obstáculos abrumadores.

• That beautiful sister of mine was an overwhelming and volatile mixture. One had the feeling that she'd been shot from a canon and showered her sparks over an incredulous world with no thought or care where they fell, a carbon copy of father. She was like some silvery comet who streaked through life with daring speed, the wellspring of which was an inner confidence that I deeply admired. At times, particularly in childhood, I was intimidated by her but she dictated from an aura of affection for me that was never threatening.

• Religion shows a pattern of heredity which I think is similar to genetic heredity. ... There are hundreds of different religious sects, and every religious person is loyal to just one of these. ... The overwhelming majority just happen to choose the one their parents belonged to. Not the sect that has the best evidence in its favour, the best miracles, the best moral code, the best cathedral, the best stained-glass, the best music when it comes to choosing from the smorgasbord of available religions, their potential virtues seem to count for nothing compared to the matter of heredity.

• I look at Los Angeles and I ask myself, How can this ever be sustainable? And what are we contributing to that? Because we are all complicit. None of us is without blame. It's so difficult and it's so overwhelming and I think we have to make small choices in our own lives that can loom large collectively.

• La abrumadora condena deja claro que hemos hecho enormes progresos en enseñar a todo el mundo que el racismo es malo. Donde parece que hemos fallado... es en enseñar a la gente lo que es realmente el racismo... lo que permite a la gente decir cosas increíblemente racistas mientras insisten en que nunca lo harían.

• ¿Son las crisis psiquiátricas tan abrumadoras para la mente que inhiben la presencia de la ética? ¿Es la depresión en el fondo un fenómeno amoral, su concentración en el yo impide que cualquier otro cuente realmente? Tal vez. A veces. A veces, incluso cuando somos dos, en realidad sólo somos uno; no podemos sentir nada más que nuestros propios huesos, nuestras propias respiraciones difíciles.

• There is no doubt in my mind, after 37 years of study and investigation that the evidence is overwhelming that planet Earth is being visited by intelligently controlled vehicles whose origin is extraterrestrial. There are no acceptable arguments against flying saucer reality, only people who either haven't studied the relevant data or have a strong will not to believe that Earth is at the bottom of the heap sociologically and technologically in our local galactic neighborhood.

• One day, through my prayers, an overwhelming amount of love started flowing into me, filling up the dark hole that threatened to consume me. I suddenly realized that what I was feeling was the love of the Earth, the love of Creation. Every day we, as a species, do so much to destroy Creation's ability to give us life. But that Creation continues to do everything in its power to give us life anyway. And that's true love.

• Did the walls of the barn start to tremble
  With a glory they could not contain?
  Did anyone wake with the feeling
  Of peace that they could not explain?
  Oh the love must have been overwhelming
  As it warmed everyone in it's flow
  For all of the earth is still telling
  of 2000 Decembers ago.
