• Reducing your life down to three pairs of jeans, two skirts, a couple of shirts, and a few pairs of shoes was so nice for me. I really loved living in this tiny room where I didnt have space for anything. It sounds really lame, but it made me feel a lot more free, because I just didnt have as many choices.

• There is not going to be, we can be quite certain, there's not going to be any action on reducing greenhouse gas emissions by China or India or Indonesia or Brazil unless all developed countries are making a major effort. It will still be a big job to get them in, even if we are all making the effort. But our making the effort is a necessary condition.

• Listing the polar bear under the Endangered Species Act could harm bear conservation efforts by eliminating revenues from the carefully-regulated sport hunting of polar bears by Americans and the importation of polar bear meat and trophies into the U.S. As hunting by non-Americans would replace hunting by Americans, nothing would be accomplished in terms of reducing the number of polar bears killed, but the revenue currently generated by American sport hunters for conservation and research efforts would be eliminated.

• Although reducing human emissions to the atmosphere is undoubtedly of critical importance, as are any and all measures to reduce the human environmental "footprint", the truth is that the contribution of each individual cannot be reduced to zero... If we believe that the size of the human "footprint" is a serious problem (and there is much evidence for this) then a rational view would be that along with a raft of measures to reduce the footprint per person, the issue of population management must be addressed.

• Becoming carbon neutral is only the beginning. The climate problem will not be solved by one company reducing its emissions to zero, and it won't be solved by one government acting alone. The climate problem will not be solved without mass participation by the general public in countries around the globe.

• Aún nos queda mucho trabajo por hacer en materia de desarrollo social, incluida la resolución de uno de los mayores retos a los que nos enfrentamos en este ámbito, a saber, la reducción de la brecha entre las personas con ingresos elevados y las personas, los ciudadanos de nuestro país, que siguen viviendo con medios realmente muy modestos. Pero, por supuesto, no podemos adoptar la solución utilizada hace 80 años y limitarnos a confiscar las riquezas de unos para redistribuirlas entre otros. Utilizaremos medios completamente distintos para resolver este problema, a saber, garantizaremos un buen crecimiento económico.

• Como nación, este es el momento de empezar a invertir seriamente nuestro tiempo, energía y recursos en métodos probados para reducir la violencia, tanto dentro de nuestra nación como a escala internacional.

• No sólo la esperanza, sino cualquier anhelo agobiante: la ambición, el odio, el amor (sobre todo el amor): ¡qué pocas veces nuestras emociones encuentran el objeto que parecen merecer! Qué desesperanzados estamos, qué oscuro está el cielo, qué grandes son las olas. Todos estamos perdidos en el mar, entre la esperanza y la desesperación, aclamando algo que quizá nunca venga a rescatarnos. La catástrofe se ha convertido en arte; pero no se trata de un proceso reductor. Es liberador, ampliador, explicativo. La catástrofe se ha convertido en arte: al fin y al cabo, para eso sirve.

• Your green eye is a reducing chamber. If I look into it long enough, I wil become as small as my own reflection, I will diminish to a point and vanish. I will be drawn down into that black whirlpool and be consumed by you. I shall become so small you can keep me in one of your osier cages and mock my loss of liberty.

• Unlike fuel-economy standards, the most common method of reducing demand for oil over the past thirty years, a gas tax doesn't tell people what kind of car to drive. It simply raises the price of gasoline and lets people adjust their behavior accordingly.

• Many companies today are reducing hours of full-time people to get under the minimum so they don't have to pay health care costs. I just shake my head because that's not going to build long-term value and trust with your people.

• Y en quinto lugar, defenderemos a las pequeñas empresas, el motor del crecimiento del empleo en Estados Unidos. Eso significa reducir los impuestos a las empresas, no subirlos. Significa simplificar y modernizar las normativas que más perjudican a las pequeñas empresas. Y significa que debemos frenar el vertiginoso aumento de los costes de la sanidad derogando y sustituyendo el Obamacare.

• La pregunta es: ¿cómo reducimos el gasto del 25% del PIB, que es donde nos situó Obama?

Nos sitúa en una senda de reforma gradual para reducir el tamaño del gobierno.

• What really fascinates me is this need that is so strong now that if you read a work of the imagination you instantly have to say, 'Oh, what this really is is so-and-so,' reducing it to a simple formula.

• Elton John can be a master of the sleight of hand. The arrangements make it seem like there are substantial melodies underneath the tracks - but almost nothing demands repeated listenings. Similarly, he always sounds like he's singing up a storm, but his voice glosses over the material, reducing most things to an uninteresting sameness.
