“A questo mondo esiste uno studio del tutto diverso da quello che si fa a scuola. [...] Non consiste nel fornire la risposta che ci è stata insegnata, o nel rivaleggiare con gli altri per essere migliore, ma nell'afferrare le risposte scoprendole da sé, a una a una. Consiste nel creare la strada per la nostra crescita così come siamo, a modo nostro. Scoprire. Continuare a scoprire per tutta la vita la propria crescita. L'apprendimento è crescere se stessi in questo.”

“A questo punto, a costo di interrompere il filo del discorso, viene spontaneo un contro tra il destino dell’Inghilterra e quello dell’Italia. L’Inghilterra si ritrovò tra le mani ottima lana quando (nel Medioevo) la lana era la materia prima più ricercata; si ritrovò tra le mani ottimo ed abbondante carbone quando (ai tempi della Rivoluzione Industriale) la materia prima più preziosa era il carbone; e si ritrovò tra le mani il petrolio del mre del Nord quando (ai giorni nostri) il petrolio divenne la fonte di energia più usata nell’attività produttiva. In contrasto l’Italia ebbe poca e grama lana nel Medioevo, pochissimo e gramissimo carbone nella Rivoluzione Industriale, e pochissimo e gramissimo petrolio nell’epoca corrente: in compenso ebbe sempre abbondanza di marmo che usò soprattutto per adornare chiese ed erigere monumenti funerari nei cimiteri.”

“A questão central é saber se as convicções e o simbolismo são mais importantes do que a cooperação e a liberdade. Por vezes, ideais fortes podem fazer com que líderes políticos coloquem o seu partido à frente do país e impeçam a cooperação. Isto aplica-se não apenas aos partidos de extrema-direita, mas também aos idealistas, que visam tornar a sua filosofia política interna a meta da política externa.”

“A questão não está em controlar uma emoção, ou não senti-la. A questão é como você irá usá-la para construir. Uma faca pode ser usada para cortar a garganta de alguém, e partir o alimento: a sua escolha no uso da faca, indica sua “inteligência comportamental.”

“A questão não é que Deus vá impedir seu ingresso na eternidade se você não demonstrar certos traços de caráter; a questão é que, se as pessoas não possuírem pelo menos uma noção dessas qualidades dentro delas, então não haverá condições externas capazes de produzir um "Céu" para elas - isto é, não haverá condições que possam fazê-las felizes com o tipo de felicidade intensa, forte e inabalável que Deus deseja para nós.”

“A questão é: você já reparou como nós esmagamos uma barata numa boa e não sentimos remorso nenhum, apesar de estarmos na realidade exterminando uma vida? Pois é. Fazemos isso porque não nos identificamos com a barata. Porque ela é muito diferente de nós. [...] Pensando por esse lado, acho que algumas pessoas às vezes tendem a fazer do mesmo jeito com relação a outras. Ou seja, elas veem com distanciamento aqueles com quem não se identificam logo de cara, entende? É como se o estranho, que não faz parte do mesmo grupo que nós, fosse visto como um ser inferior... Quase uma barata!”

She kissed his chest. “You’d better.”
“We’re not done,” he told her. “Not by a long shot.”

“Just a few more days and this’ll all be over.”
“Don’t make me wait too long, okay?”
“I won’t.” He leaned his head back, tipped her chin up with one hand until she met his eyes. If there was even a tiny part of her that doubted his intentions, he wanted that cleared up now. “I’ve never felt like this about anyone before.”

“Then I can handle everything else on my own,” she whispered, and pulled his mouth down to hers.”
