• Érase una vez una chica que descubrió que si tocaba cierta melodía en una flauta de jade, podía invocar a los gnomos de jade, unos peculiares espíritus subterráneos de aspecto inofensivo pero bastante espeluznante. El hecho es que muchos de nosotros tenemos talentos como éste, pero generalmente nunca los descubrimos por falta de oportunidades, ya que uno puede pasarse la vida entera sin tocar una flauta de jade, o descubrir que puede hablar el lenguaje de los perezosos terrestres, o convertir el pastel de frutas en tungsteno sólido cantándole melodías de Sinatra bajo un cuarto de luna.

• Am I a fruitcake? I don't know. Perception is reality, so if I sit here and say, "I'm not a fruitcake, I'm a lemon cake," it doesn't matter. What you see me as in your world is what I am; it doesn't matter what I am - do you know what I mean? To me, I know what my real problems are - and they're certainly not about cake. And that's just the way it is.

• I didn't believe in systems. Everything human was imperfect and ultimately absurd. What did I believe in then? In humor. In laughing at systems, at people, at one's self. In laughing even at one's need to laugh all the time. In seeing life as contradictory, many-sided, various, funny, tragic, and with moments of outrageous beauty. In seeing life as a fruitcake, including delicious plums and bad peanuts, but meant to be devoured hungrily all the same because you couldn't feast on the plums without also sometimes being poisoned by the peanuts.

  Erica Jong
