• "The Anglo-American cultural perspective is future-time oriented, or "nextness" oriented, to use a phrase coined by cultural diversity expert Tom Kochman."
• "Union of various grades, union of diverse types, union that stops at non-conductors, union that merely goes from next to next, and means in many cases outer nextness only, and not a more internal bond, union of concatenation, in short; all that sort of thing seems to you a halfway stage of thought."
