• Pero no la enmarqué; la metí en un sobre, la sellé y la metí bien atrás, en un cajón esquinero de un archivador. Ahí está, por si un día de estos empiezo a perderla. Puede que haya una mañana en la que me despierte y su cara no sea lo primero que vea. O una perezosa tarde de agosto en la que ya no recuerde dónde estaban las pecas de sus hombros derechos. Tal vez un día de estos no pueda escuchar el sonido de la nieve al caer y oír sus pasos.

• I am remarkably likeable. Few people have ever been as likeable as I am. There is, frankly, no end to my likeability. People gather together in public assemblies to discuss how much they like me. I have several awards, and a small medal from a small country in South America which pays tribute both to how much I am liked and my general all around wonderfulness. I don't have it on me, of course. I keep my medals in my sock drawer.

• La biografía es el medio a través del cual se despoja a los muertos célebres de los secretos que les quedan y se los arroja a la vista de todo el mundo. De hecho, el biógrafo es como el ladrón profesional que entra en una casa, rebusca en los cajones que cree que contienen las joyas y el dinero, y se lleva triunfalmente el botín.

• I didn't learn how to read and write until pretty late, and it was this very mysterious, incredible thing, like driving, that I didn't get to do. And then I started writing things down on little scraps of paper and I would hide them. I would write the year on them and then I would stuff them in a drawer somewhere. But I didn't start to really read until about eight. I'm dyslexic, so it took a long time.

• Si alguna vez has tenido que recordar tu pasado de alguna manera y abres un cajón de viejas fotografías que guardaban tus padres, siempre hay fotos tuyas sonriendo y encantador, y luego un montón de gente que no sabes quiénes son. Podrían ser tías, tíos, podría ser el cartero por lo que sabes. ¿Quiénes son esas personas? Tus padres nunca salen en la foto, porque son ellos los que la hacen. Así que tienes estas imágenes sin relación que están desconectadas de tus recuerdos.

• If you are angry, why not try this. Write a letter. Pour out all of your feelings, describe your anger and disappointment. Don't hold anything back. Then put the letter in a drawer. After two days, take it out and read it. Do you still want to send it? I've found that anger and pie crusts soften after two days.

• Es como si tu cerebro tuviera un gran archivador, abriera cada cajón y recogiera imágenes y recuerdos del día, consolidara lo que necesita y lo pusiera en el archivo que sea. Y luego, si hay algo que no encaja en ninguno de los archivos y que realmente no pertenece, te olvidas de ello. Es una forma de almacenar cosas de forma sucinta en el cerebro.
