• The superpowers often behave like two heavily armed blind men feeling their way around a room, each believing himself in mortal peril from the other, whom he assumes to have perfect vision. Each side should know that frequently uncertainty, compromise, and incoherence are the essence of policymaking. Yet each tends to ascribe to the other a consistency, foresight, and coherence that its own experience belies. Of course, over time, even two armed blind men can do enormous damage to each other, not to speak of the room.

• He leído más sobre Oprah Winfrey's ass que sobre el ascenso de China como superpotencia económica. Me temo que no es una exageración. Quizá China se esté convirtiendo en una superpotencia económica porque sus mujeres no se pasan todo el tiempo leyendo sobre el culo de Oprah Winfrey.

• Eres un superhéroe. Cállate y disfruta de tener superpoderes. Esto me vuelve loco. Por eso las películas de Marvel le dan una paliza a las de DC. Porque, no estoy pagando $15 por una película para ir a ver a la gente siendo taciturna sobre vidas que son mucho más interesantes y emocionantes que la mía y ellos las odian. Estoy pagando mi dinero para ver a la gente como que se deleitan haciendo cosas que yo no puedo hacer.

• We cannot continue to have an excellence gap with the rest of the world and intend to remain the [economic superpower] and [military superpower] of the planet. That's just not going to happen.

• The thing that I love about The Flash and about superhero shows, in general, is that it's not about having superpowers that makes you a superhero. You don't have to be The Flash and have super speed to do the right thing. You can be a great reporter or you can be a cop, like Joe West, and still fight for the things that matter.

• And what terrifies me is that we're entering a phase where if you start to speak about this as something that can be understood historically - without any sympathy - you are going to be thought of as unpatriotic, and you are going to be forbidden. It's very dangerous. It is precisely incumbent on every citizen to quite understand the world we're living in and the history we are a part of and we are forming as a superpower.
