“Radio is the death and life of Africa.”
“Radio is the medium that most closely approximates the experience of reading.

“Radio is the playground of coincidence.”

“Radio, or at least the kind of radio we're proposing to do, can cut through that. It can reach people who would otherwise never hear your work, and of course I find that very notion inspiring. Radio stories are powerful because the human voice is powerful. It has been and will continue to be the most basic element of storytelling. As a novelist (and I should note that working my novel is the first thing I do in the morning and the very last thing I do before I sleep), shifting into this new medium is entirely logical. It's still narrative, only with different tools.”
“Radio, sewing machine, bookends, ironing board and that great big piano lamp - peace, that's what I like. Butterbean vines planted all along the front where the strings are.”

“Radioactive Mind (The Sonnet)
In front of the radioactivity of mind,
Radioactivity of matter turns dim.
In front of the joules of a just heart,
A billion ohms of hate become nil.
Hate is the question,
Heart is the answer.
Hate is the sickness,
Heart is the cure.
Prejudice is the ailment,
Piety is the cure.
What is piety you ask!
Nothing but kindness more pure.
Kindness is divinity, kindness is sanity.
Wasting it to codify life is sheer stupidity.”

“Radioimmunoassay (RIA) is simple in principle.”
“Radionics was conceived as a diagnostic and treatment technology at a time when modern electronic theory and biomedicine had not become the dominant sciences they are today. Early radionic devices incorporated the new discoveries of radio and electronics into their design. During that period, the functional assumptions of radionic technology did not seem as implausible as it does today. However, it wasn't long before radionics became outmoded and completely non-scientific. As Mizrach has noted, radionics continued to appropriate the methods of orthodox science into its design and terminology, making the probability of understanding what it could accomplish even more difficult to assess. I will examine this appropriation in a spirit of tolerance, given the state of electronics and medicine circa 1910, when radionics was first discovered. I will do so in order to shift the focus of this interesting technology from the scientific to the metaphysical, where the reader not limited by a need for scientific approval can evaluate it. My aim is to provide a reasonable means of evaluating radionic technology as an artistic methodology.”

“RADIUM, n. A mineral that gives off heat and stimulates the organ that a scientist is a fool with.”

“Radley rolled his eyes. He actually rolled his eyes at my father. Alpha of the south-central territory and head of the Territorial Council. Sure, I did that all the time but I'd also peed on his lap when I was two. No one else got away with such disrespect toward an Alpha, which meant Radley either didn't know who my father was, or didn't care”

“Radništvo nije samo po sebi radikalno, niti je nužno konzervativno, ali uglavnom predstavlja konfuznu strukturu koja sadrži oba elementa. Ovakvo stanje odraz je kontradiktornosti svakodnevice radnica i radnika, budu- ći da njihova dobrobit, ali i dobrobit njihovih porodica, u potpunosti zavise od sistema koji podriva njihov sopstveni osećaj ljudskosti. Iako je postojanje vere u to da je bolji svet moguć svakako jedan od preduslova za prevazilaženje ovakve situacije, to nažalost nije dovoljno. Ipak, najveće nerešeno pitanje i dalje ostaje odsustvo struktura kroz koje bi radništvo moglo da prevaziđe sopstveni, otupljujući fatalizam i stekne samopouzdanje da „konkretizuje veru u bolji svet“. Za socijaliste i socijalistkinje, učešće u ponovnoj izgradnji efektnog, makar i reformističkog sindikalnog pokreta ujedno predstavlja moralni imperativ (odbraniti radni narod) i generalni strateški princip (ostati unutar „realno postojećih“ borbi radničke klase”
