• Los blancos siempre han tenido la palabra en América. Los blancos hicieron blanco a Jesús, blancos a los ángeles, blanca la Última Cena. Si te amenazo, te estoy chantajeando. Un gato negro trae mala suerte. Si te echan de un club, estás en la lista negra. El pastel de ángel es blanco; el de diablo, negro. Los buenos en las películas de vaqueros llevan sombreros blancos. Los malos siempre llevan sombreros negros.

  Muhammad Ali

• Possibly everyone now dead considered his own death as a freak accident, a mistake. Some bad luck caused it. Every enterprising man jack of them, and every sunlit vigorous woman and child, too, who had seemed so alive and pleased, was cold as a meat hook, and new chattering people trampled their bones unregarding, and rubbed their hands together and got to work improving their prospects till their own feet slipped and they went under themselves ... Every place was a tilting edge.

• There was a place in New York called Tannen's Magic. It still exists. But back in the day, it was really fantastic. You'd go into the old Wurlitzer Building, take the elevator to the 13th floor, which was labeled 14, because of bad luck, the elevator would open, and you'd be in heaven. It was all of these guys doing magic stuff with props. It's kind of gone now, that experience, the brick-and-mortar magic shop, but you really felt like you'd landed in the most amazing place in the world.
