Harper Lee Quotes - Page 8

• No había ningún sitio adonde ir, pero me giré para ir y me encontré con la parte delantera del chaleco de Atticus. Enterré la cabeza en él y escuché los pequeños ruidos internos que se producían detrás de la tela azul claro: el tictac de su reloj, el débil crujido de su camisa almidonada, el suave sonido de su respiración. Te está rugiendo el estómago", le dije. Lo sé", dijo.

• Jem dio una descripción razonable de Boo: Boo medía unos dos metros y medio, a juzgar por sus huellas; se alimentaba de ardillas crudas y de cualquier gato que pudiera cazar, por eso tenía las manos manchadas de sangre: si comías animales crudos, nunca podías lavar la sangre. Tenía una larga cicatriz irregular que le cruzaba la cara; los dientes que tenía eran amarillos y estaban podridos; los ojos se le salían y babeaba la mayor parte del tiempo.

• Si esto se calla será una simple negación a Jem de la forma en que he intentado criarlo. A veces pienso que soy un fracaso total como padre, pero soy todo lo que tienen. Antes de que Jem mire a alguien más, me mira a mí, y he tratado de vivir para poder mirarlo de frente... si hubiera conspirado para algo así, francamente no podría mirarlo a los ojos, y el día que no pueda hacerlo sabré que lo he perdido. No quiero perderlo a él y a Scout, porque son todo lo que tengo.

• I like to write. Sometimes I'm afraid that I like it too much because when I get into work I don't want to leave it. As a result I'll go for days and days without leaving the house or wherever I happen to be. I'll go out long enough to get papers and pick up some food and that's it. It's strange, but instead of hating writing I love it too much.
