• I mean, full stops are quite important, aren't they? Yet by contrast to the versatile apostrophe, they are stolid little chaps, to say the least. In fact one might dare to say that while the full stop is the lumpen male of the punctuation world (do one job at a time; do it well; forget about it instantly), the apostrophe is the frantically multi-tasking female, dotting hither and yon, and succumbing to burn-out from all the thankless effort.

• Siento verdadera aversión por la enseñanza. La perenne tarea de un profesor de matemáticas es sólo enseñar el ABC de su ciencia; la mayoría de los pocos alumnos que van un paso más allá, y por lo general para quedarse con la metáfora, se quedan en el proceso de recopilación de información, se convierten sólo en Halbwisser [alguien que tiene un conocimiento superficial de la materia], porque los talentos más raros no quieren hacerse educar mediante cursos de conferencias, sino formarse a sí mismos. Y con este ingrato trabajo el profesor pierde su precioso tiempo.
