I really loved his Hidden Brain book, and his latest, Useful Delusions yields the following:
p. 166 "I once asked a linguist what the difference was between a dialect and a language. "Languages," he quipped, "are dialects that have armies."
p. 200 Daniel Kahneman told Vedantam in an interview: "For me, it would be a milestone if you manage to take influential evangelists, preachers, to adopt the idea of global warming and to preach it. That would change things. It's not going to happen by presenting more evidence. That, I think, is clear."
