• El sentido común es el tipo que te dice que deberías haber hecho cambiar los frenos la semana pasada antes de destrozar la parte delantera esta semana. El sentido común es el quarterback de los lunes por la mañana que podría haber ganado el partido si hubiera estado en el equipo. Pero nunca está. Está en lo alto de las gradas con una petaca en la cadera. El sentido común es el hombrecillo de traje gris que nunca comete un error por añadidura. Pero siempre es el dinero de otro el que suma.

  Raymond Chandler

  Lunes, Mañana, Error

• Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

• In such novels as This Side of Paradise and The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald depicts the spirit of the hour which is usually about 4 a.m. His suave young men, always commuting between Princeton and The Plaza in Stutz Bearcats never sat still for long.

• Ilustración instantánea. La quintaesencia del modernismo, la cultura y la religión acomodadas a la era de la comida rápida y las pegatinas en los parachoques. Pero la psique y el espíritu no están tan exentos del dominio natural como para producir un autocambio instantáneo, a la carta. La sabiduría se precipita a través de un aparato notoriamente lento de retortas y frascos, y sólo tiene que encontrar terreno receptivo en una mente debidamente aderezada.

  Kenny Smith

• My child,you are broken. Unless you know that you are broken yourself,it will be severely laborious to love the broken people around you. You will be harsh and exacting towards them. But because you want others to like you, you will always attempt to hide your weaknesses from others. Let me strip away your masks,so that you may know who you really are.And when this truth sets you free,then shall you be free to genuinely love. Before this occurs,your love will be offered by the flask,not by the torrents of a river.

La única diferencia es que el ADN del espermatozoide y del óvulo se sustituiría por el ADN de una célula adulta. ¿Qué ley o principio -laico, humanista o religioso- dice que una combinación de material genético en un matraz está bien, pero otra no?

• Lucivar winced. "She guzzled half the flask — and it wasn't one of his home brews, it was the concoction you created." Jaenelle’s eyes widened. “You let her drink a ‘gravedigger’?” “No no no,” Wilhelmina said, shaking her head. “You shouldn’t ever drink a gravedigger until he’s had a bath.” She smiled placidly when Jaenelle and Lucivar just stared at her. “Mother Night,” Lucivar muttered. “Do you know that song?” Wilhelmina asked Jaenelle.

• I want blood! Two of Aksel’s dogs cornered me near Tondara. They shot me. Those bastards actually shot a hole in my stabilizer the size of Mirala…Aren’t you going to say something? (Syn) Were you hurt? (Nykyrian) No. (Syn) Then why are you having a fit? (Nykyrian) I don’t know, it just felt right. You see why I don’t like being sober? I overreact like an old woman. (He opened his flask, then slammed it down on Nykyrian’s desk.) Figures the damned thing would be empty. (Syn)

• Me pongo un poco romántico con el viejo Empire State. Sólo con mirarlo me dan ganas de poner algunas melodías de Frank Sinatra y balancearme un poco. Me enamoro de un edificio. Había estado allí varias veces pero nunca para trabajar. Siempre supe que allí había oficinas pero nunca me penetró la cara, la verdad. No se trabaja en el Empire State. En el Empire State te declaras. Subes una petaca y brindas por toda la ciudad de New York.

• Explore me' you said and I collected my ropes, flasks and maps, expecting to be back home soon. I dropped into the mass of you and I cannot find the way out. Sometimes I think I’m free, coughed up like Jonah from the whale, but then I turn a corner and recognise myself again. Myself in your skin, myself lodged in your bones, myself floating in the cavities that decorate every surgeon’s wall. That is how I know you. You are what I know.
