„Slovo "rasismus" je jako kečup. Může být kladen na prakticky cokoliv - a požadavek důkazů z tebe dělá "rasistu.".“

Thomas Sowell

Originál: (en) The word 'racism' is like ketchup. It can be put on practically anything – and demanding evidence makes you a 'racist.'

„Porovnávat kteroukoli společnost s ideály téměř garantuje, že tato společnost bude odsouzena jako selhání. Už proto, že představit si něco lepšího, než co existuje – tedy vytvořit ideál – má nulové náklady, zatímco všechno, co vytváříte v reálném světě, je zatíženo svými náklady.“

„Říci, že můj vztah k redaktorům [knih] nebyl vždy šťastný, by naprosto nevystihlo skutečnost. Pro mě osobně fakt, že jsem žádného redaktora nikdy nezabil, dokazuje, že trest smrti skutečně odrazuje. Ale jelikož se v dnešní době máme každý přiznat k zahanbujícím příhodám ze svého mládí, musím připustit, že jsem jednou taky dělal redaktora. Jen jednou. A nešlukoval jsem.“

Thomas Sowell

Originál: (en) To say that my relationship with editors has not always been a happy one would be to completely understate the situation. To me, the fact that I have never killed an editor is proof that the death penalty deters. However, since nowadays we are all supposed to confess to shameful episodes in our past, I must admit that I was once an editor. Only once. And I didn’t inhale.
