William Peter Blatty Citas

• From the cab stepped a tall old man. Black raincoat and hat and a battered valise. He paid the driver, then turned and stood motionless, staring at the house. The cab pulled away and rounded the corner of Thirty-sixty Street. Kinderman quickly pulled out to follow. As he turned the corner, he noticed that the tall old man hadn't moved but was standing under the streetlight glow, in mist, like a melancholy traveler frozen in time.

• In order for life to have appeared spontaneously on Earth, there first had to be hundreds of millions of protein molecules of the Ninth Configuration. But, given the size of the planet Earth, do you know how long it would take for just one of these protein molecules to appear by chance? Roughly 10 to the 243rd power, billions of years; and I find that far, far more fantastic than simply believing in a god.

• Todos los hombres que han existido anhelan la felicidad perfecta, reflexionó conmovedoramente el detective. Pero ¿cómo podemos tenerla cuando sabemos que vamos a morir? Cada alegría se veía empañada por el conocimiento de que acabaría. ¿Así que la naturaleza había implantado en nosotros el deseo de algo inalcanzable? No. No puede ser. No tiene sentido. Cualquier otro esfuerzo implantado por la naturaleza tenía un objeto correspondiente que no era un fantasma. ¿Por qué esta excepción? razonó el detective. Era la naturaleza creando hambre cuando no había comida. Continuamos. Continuamos. Así la muerte probó la vida.
