“What I said was Britain was ready for another Hitler, which is quite a different thing to saying it needs another Hitler. I stand by that opinion - in fact I was ahead of my time in voicing it. There are in Britain right now parallels with the rise of the Nazi Party in pre-war Germany. A demoralised nation whose empire had disintegrated." Two years later, Margaret Thatcher was elected.

“It may seem somewhat ironic that the Catholic Church finds itself advocating the same position against abortion as its severest Christian critics, the Protestant fundamentalists. In fact, it is no more surprising than finding the so-called pro-life movement keeping company with Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Chairman Mao, all of whom at one time or another banned abortions. What they have in common is their belief, rooted in misogyny, that the woman's right to choose - a fundamental aspect of her autonomy - must be crushed in order to achieve what they have deemed a 'higher' religious, moral or social goal.”

“Conozco a personas que “leen” muchísimo, libro tras libro y línea a línea, y a las que, sin embargo, no calificaría de “buenos lectores”. Es cierto que estas personas poseen una gran cantidad de “conocimientos”, pero su cerebro no sabe organizar y registrar el material adquirido. Les falta el arte de separar, en un libro, lo que es de valor para ellos y lo que es inútil, de conservar para siempre en la memoria lo que interesa de verdad y desechar lo que no les reporta ventaja alguna.”
