• We're all carnies, though some people are in denial. They want to be above it all, above the mayhem of laughter and people and lights and animals and the dark sadness that lurks in the coners and beneath the rides and in the trailers after hours. So they ride teh Ferris wheel, and at the top, they think they've left it all behind They've ascended to a place where they can take things seriously. Where they can be taken seriously.

  N.D. Wilson

• They can't hurt me. Sure, they can crush you and kill you. They can lay you out on 42nd and Broadway and put hoses on you and flush you in the sewers and put you on the subway and carry you out to Coney island and bury you on the Ferris wheel. But I refuse to sit here and worry about dying.

• La primera semana de agosto se sitúa en la cima del verano, en la cima del año, como el asiento más alto de una noria cuando hace una pausa en su giro. Las semanas anteriores son sólo un ascenso desde la templada primavera, y las siguientes un descenso hacia el frío del otoño, pero la primera semana de agosto es inmóvil y calurosa. También es curiosamente silenciosa, con amaneceres en blanco y mediodías deslumbrantes, y atardeceres embadurnados de demasiado color.

• Wandering around back stage at a willie Nelson concert is a bit like being the parrot on the shoulder of the guy who's running the Ferris wheel. It's not the best seat in the house, but you see enough lights, action, people, and confusion to make you wonder if anybody knows what the hell's going on. If you're sitting out front, of course, it all rolls along as smoothly as a German train schedule, but as Willie, like any great magician, would be the first to point out, the real show is never in the center ring. As Willie always says, Fortunately, we're not in control.

• I think a rotisserie is like a really morbid ferris wheel for chickens. It’s a strange piece of machinery . . . We will take the chicken, kill it, impale it, and then rotate it. And I’ll be damned if I’m not hungry! Because spinning chicken carcasses make my mouth water! I like dizzy chicken. With a side of potatoes of some sort.

• Los adultos siempre dicen a los jóvenes: "Estos son los mejores años de tu vida". ¿Lo son? No lo sé. A veces, cuando los adultos dicen esto a los niños, les miro a la cara. Parecen alguien en el asiento superior de la noria que ha comido demasiado algodón de azúcar y barbacoa. Les gustaría bajarse y ponerse enfermos, pero todo el mundo les sigue diciendo lo bien que se lo están pasando.

• My family originally lived in Brooklyn. Our first apartment was a little place above my father and uncle's hardware store in Coney Island. Now, don't get the impression that we were surrounded by merry-go-rounds, roller coasters and Ferris wheels. Nope, this was a little side street.
