“Bernard Rollin (1989) on analysoinut tilannetta Yhdysvalloissa siten, että eläinoikeusaktivistit ja erityisesti eläinten vapautusrintaman aktivistit nousevat yhteiskunnan alimmista kerroksista, työttömistä ja tehdastyöläisistä. --- Ihminen, jolla ei ole mitään menetettävää, joka on jo menettänyt kaiken ja mahdollisuutensa normaaliin palkkatyöelämään tai aikuiskoulutukseen, on ennakoimaton liikkeissään. Hän ei välttämättä nouse puolustamaan itseään, vaan vielä sorretumpia: eläimiä ja luontoa. Sorrettujen on helpompi nähdä vielä sorretumpien tila ja puolustaa niitä.”

“Bernard Williams has been a distinctive presence on the intellectual scene for more than three decades. . . . His writings do not offer the dubious exhilaration of grand philosophical theory, in which messy reality is tamed and caged, but the thrill of seeing pretension punctured by a kind of high-voltage common sense (backed up by impressive erudition). . . . There is no one in philosophy quite like him.”

“BERNARDA.— Las mujeres en la iglesia no deben mirar más hombre que al oficiante, y a ése porque tiene faldas. Volver la cabeza es buscar el calor de la pana. MUJER 1.— (En voz baja) ¡Vieja lagarta recocida! LA PONCIA.— (Entre dientes) ¡Sarmentosa por calentura de varón! BERNARDA.— (Dando un golpe de bastón en el suelo) ¡Alabado sea Dios! TODAS.— (Santiguándose) Sea por siempre bendito y alabado.”

“Bernardo prese il bignè, lo guardò con rispetto e poi osservò le torrette ipertecnologiche che svettavano sulla collina. «Vedi Rosalia, il problema non è la bellezza, è la memoria. Quel resort è costruito per non invecchiare mai, ma le cose che non invecchiano non hanno anima. Posseggono solo una data di scadenza tecnica».”

“Bernie [Ecclestone] has not been shy to say one or two controversial things. The last person in the UK who described his product as being crap in public was one Gerald Ratner - and he was gone immediately. But not Bernie! What it tells you is that the demand for live sporting rights, the demand for global or regional events, is so powerful that you brush aside some things because there aren't so many of these events.”

“Bernie, a giant Bernese mountain dog and Lab mix (she guessed), had a long coat, mostly black except for a streak of white starting on her forehead, then trailing down her throat and onto her chest, with another spot under her tail, making her look like a cream-filled chocolate-dipped cannoli. Three of her four paws looked dunked in white paint, like she'd made a mess during a home improvement project. She was named for one of Astra's favorite characters, Bernadette Fox from Where'd You Go, Bernadette. Like the titular character, Bernie had a small circle of people she adored; she found the rest to be annoying gnats (small children excluded--- they often had snacks to share), not to be bothered with, except the squirrel who lived in the front yard, who was her nemesis. She spent hours making sure the little rodent didn't sneak into the house.”

“Bernie Sanders did not wake up last night with this great idea that we should guarantee health care to all people as a right. Actually, it exists in every other major country on earth. You don't know that, because the media has forgotten to tell you that. But it does exist. In Denmark, because of union negotiations, the minimum wage is about $20 an hour. In Germany, you go to college tuition-free. In Finland, they actually pay you to go to college. Now, you don't know that in America because CBS forgot to tell you. But that is the reality.”

“Bernie Sanders is an impressive guy. His authenticity and his credibility stem precisely from the fact that he has been marginalized from the mainstream political process for decades. He's been in the US Senate, yeah, he has had a life in politics for thirty years, but he's never really been able to get anything done. He's the only socialist in the US Congress. He's not a Democrat or a Republican, but he's always been saying the same things about income inequality, in particular.”
