Front Porches Quotes

• A British porch is a musty, forbidding non-room in which to fling a sodden umbrella or a muddy pair of boots; a guard against the elements and strangers. By contrast the good ol' American front porch seems to stand for positivity and openness; a platform from which to welcome or wave farewell; a place where things of significance could happen.

• Edward Abbey dijo que debes fabricar tu propia cerveza; patear tu Tee Vee; matar tu propia res; construir tu cabaña y mear desde el porche delantero cuando te dé la maldita gana. Yo ya tuve un buen comienzo. Cuando era adolescente en el Maine rural, después de llegar a Estados Unidos, aprendí a cazar, pescar y cazar con trampas en la naturaleza. Mis mentores de Maine me habían enseñado hacía tiempo a hacer cerveza casera. Tenía un rifle y ya había construido una cabaña de madera. El resto debería ser fácil. Pensé en intentarlo.

• Remember the hours after September 11th when we came together as one to answer the attack against our homeland. We drew strength when our firefighters ran upstairs and risked their lives so that others might live; when rescuers rushed into smoke and fire at the Pentagon; when the men and women of Flight 93 sacrificed themselves to save our nation's Capitol; when flags were hanging from front porches all across America, and strangers became friends. It was the worst day we have ever seen, but it brought out the best in all of us.

• Pequeños mocosos gritando 'Truco o Trato' a través de mi puerta mosquitera,
  Cuando deberían estar en casa durmiendo,
  En lugar de en mi porche delantero 15 de profundidad.
  El jack o 'linterna vino muy bien ...
  Puedo apagar la luz de mi porche como si no tuviera caramelos.
  ¿Pero eso no es algo?
  Compraste un disfraz de Halloween y una calabaza,
  Casi les da un infarto a tus hijos.
  Es una tradición, ¿pero quién demonios empezó eso?

• I showed her how I'd been making tiny cuts in my skin to let the badness and the pain leak out. They were shallow at first, and short, like claw marks made by a desperate cat that wanted to hid under the front porch. Cutting pain was a different flavor of hurt. It made it easier not to think about having my body and my family and my life stolen, made it easier not to care.

• A few years have gone and come around when we were sittin' at our favorite spot in town and you looked at me, got down on one knee. Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle; the whole town came and our mammas cried. And you said "I do.", and I did, too. Take me home where we met so many years before; we'll rock our babies on the very front porch. After all this time, you and I. And I'll be eighty-seven you'll be eighty-nine, I'll still look at you like the stars that shine. In the sky. Oh, my my my.

• "No lo sé", dije. "¿Qué más hiciste durante tus primeros dieciocho años?". "Como he dicho", dijo mientras abría el coche, "no estoy tan seguro de que debas seguir mi ejemplo". "¿Por qué no?" "Porque tengo mis remordimientos", dijo. "Además, soy un tío. Y los tíos hacen cosas diferentes". "¿Como montar en bici?" Le dije. "No", respondió. "Como tener peleas de comida. Y romper cosas. Y tirar petardos en los porches de la gente. Y..." "¿Las chicas no pueden tirar petardos en los porches?" "Pueden", dijo... "Pero son lo suficientemente inteligentes como para no hacerlo. Esa es la diferencia".
