• I'm a morning "spinner." That's usually when my brain is thinking too much and I don't necessarily see things positively. So I sit myself down and remember that I'm making it up. I believe we are creating in every moment - making up our reality, so to speak - so when anything gets chaotic or I feel spun out, I remind myself that everything is an interpretation. I can look at it differently and make it work for me in a more positive light.

• Spin" es una palabra educada para referirse al engaño. Los hilanderos engañan por medios que van desde omisiones sutiles hasta mentiras descaradas. La tergiversación ofrece una imagen falsa de la realidad al tergiversar los hechos, caracterizar erróneamente las palabras de otros, ignorar o negar pruebas cruciales o simplemente "hilar fino", es decir, inventarse las cosas.

• It's the unlikely juxtaposition of creativity and logic which causes the wooliness and confusion around the term 'innovation'. Everybody wants to be innovative; many companies and ideas are proclaimed to be innovative and no one doubts that innovation is a money spinner. And, thus, we are all looking for the magic formula. Well, here you go: Creativity + Iterative Development = Innovation.

• If you look at the offense like a fancy car, the offensive line is the engine. Even though we might have nice spinners and nice rims and tinted windows and some neat paint job, it doesn't mean crap without the engine. If the engine's not working, the car might look like a pretty nice car, but it's a piece of crap.

• The feel of the place was deep, the prehistoric heartbeat of the rocks complicating the music, the people bright, all different kinds of dancers, smilers, swayers, swirlers, smokers, beer-drinking boppers, tripsters, spinners. I looked back at the crowd...and saw the show for a moment as a jewel...like a gem in a bracelet: an ornament on the body of the country, glittering in the coming darkness.

• ¿Cuándo os desembarazaréis de la ideología linfática de ese deplorable Ruskin, que me gustaría cubrir con tanto ridículo que nunca lo olvidaríais? Con su sueño morboso de la vida primitiva y rústica, con su nostalgia de los quesos homéricos y de las legendarias hilanderas de lana, con su odio a la máquina, a la energía de vapor y a la electricidad, ese maniático de la simplicidad antigua es como un hombre que, después de haber alcanzado la plena madurez física, todavía quiere dormir en su cuna y alimentarse del pecho de su decrépita vieja nodriza para recuperar su irreflexiva infancia.

• Apelo al despreciable discurso pronunciado recientemente por Sir Robert Peel ante una aplaudidora Cámara de los Comunes. Las órdenes del mérito", dijo, "eran las recompensas propias de los militares" (los desoladores del mundo en todas las épocas). Los hombres de ciencia son mejor dejados al aplauso de sus propios corazones". ¡Legislador erudito! ¡El más liberal hilandero de algodón! ¿Fue vuestro título la recompensa adecuada a la proeza militar? ¡Lástima que no tenga las llaves de una Inquisición inglesa! Quizás la ciencia, como los credos, florecerían mejor bajo un poco de persecución.
