• El comunismo olvida que la vida es individual. El capitalismo olvida que la vida es social, y el reino de la fraternidad no se encuentra ni en la tesis del comunismo ni en la antítesis del capitalismo, sino en una síntesis superior. Se encuentra en una síntesis superior que combina las verdades de ambos.

• Because the idea of zombies seems to make sense, and seems to, in a certain sense, be possible, I think one can use that to argue against the thesis that everything is purely physical. Now many people, I think, agree that the idea of zombies are conceivable, including people who want to be physicalists.

• Al preparar mi tesis, he tenido el placer de recoger testimonios de colegas como Plácido Domingo, pero también de profesores de canto y musicólogos. Todo el curso del estudio ha confirmado lo que ya pensaba, que el valor y el significado del canto de ópera, a principios del tercer milenio, permanecen intactos.

• Uno de los objetivos de la filosofía es librar batallas teóricas. Por eso podemos decir que toda tesis es siempre, por su propia naturaleza, una antítesis. Una tesis sólo se plantea en oposición a otra tesis, o en defensa de una nueva.

• A excepción de los pequeños grupos revolucionarios que existen en todos los países, el mundo entero estaba decidido a impedir la revolución en España. En particular, el Partido Comunista, con la Rusia soviética detrás, había lanzado todo su peso contra la revolución. La tesis comunista era que la revolución en esta fase sería fatal y que lo que había que conseguir en España no era el control obrero, sino la democracia burguesa. No hace falta decir por qué la opinión capitalista "liberal" siguió la misma línea.

• Jesus was not content to derive his ethics from the scriptures of his upbringing. He explicitly departed from them. [...] Since a principal thesis of this chapter is that we do not, and should not, derive our morals from scripture, Jesus has to be honoured as a model for that very thesis.

• An old joke has an Oxford professor meeting an American former graduate student and asking him what he's working on these days. 'My thesis is on the survival of the class system in the United States.' 'Oh really, that's interesting: one didn't think there was a class system in the United States.' 'Nobody does. That's how it survives.

• Here we are at the very core of the thesis we wish to defend in the present essay: reverie is under the sign of the anima. When the reverie is truly profound, the being who comes to dream within us is our anima. For a philosopher who takes his inspiration from phenomenology, a reverie on reverie is very exactly a phenomenology of the anima, and it is by coordinating reveries on reverie that he hopes to constitute a "Poetics of reverie". In other words, the poetics of reverie is a poetics of the anima.

• What motivates most gold purchasers is their belief that the ranks of the fearful will grow. During the past decade that belief has proved correct. Beyond that, the rising price has on its own generated additional buying enthusiasm, attracting purchasers who see the rise as validating an investment thesis. As 'bandwagon' investors join any party, they create their own truth - for a while.

• Los vallistas son velocistas con un problema. No se conforman con esprintar. Cualquiera puede esprintar, algunos no tan bien como otros, por supuesto, pero cualquiera puede esprintar. No todo el mundo puede correr vallas. Hay una dimensión adicional. Los vallistas serían un buen tema para una tesis de psicología: tienen una apersuasión que sólo necesita una dimensión extra.

• If the benevolent ruler stays in power long enough, he eventually concludes that power and wisdom are the same thing. And as he possesses power, he must possess wisdom. He becomes converted to the seductive thesis that election to public office endows the official with both power and wisdom. At this point, he begins to lose his ability to distinguish between what is morally right and what is politically expedient.

• A student researching into my work has actually traced the newspapers and magazines where I found theses images and has found out that many of them illustrate a collection of gruesome stories, murders and suicides which contrast with the images used. There is a contrast between the message carried by the text and that suppressed by the illustration.
