• When your Super Bowl guests arrive, they should find a mound of potato chips large enough to conceal a pony sitting in front of the television. For nutritional balance, you should also put out a bowl of carrot sticks. If you have no carrot sticks, you can use pinecones, or used electrical fuses, because nobody will eat them anyway. This is no time for nutritional balance: This is the Super Bowl, for God's sake.

  Dave Barry

• En Mercy Falls todo eran rumores, y el rumor sobre Jack era que había heredado su mal genio de su padre. No sabía nada de eso. Parecía que debías elegir el tipo de persona que serías, sin importar cómo fueran tus padres.

• This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be a long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time.

• Es difícil explicar lo que ocurre cuando el jazz y el punk se fusionan con un toque de violín, pero funciona. Probablemente porque Anson Choi se quita la camiseta mientras toca el saxofón. Quien no está charlando con un cadete o una chica de Darling House o jugando al ajedrez con los chicos está mirando a la banda. Me convierto en una groupie.

• Why was the blind guy playing with matches, you ask? Because he's good at it. Anything to do with fire, igniting things, exploding things, things with fuses, wicks, accelerants . . . Iggy's your man. It's one of those good/bad things.

• My impression is that most women public service workers have a long fuse. Precisely because they care so deeply about services, more than anyone, they still want to find a sensible and fair negotiated agreement. But their patience has run out.

• I have to love the DNA of the brand fundamentally. I need to be able to fuse my personality with theirs. That's what I've done with Adidas, Swatch, and in a different way with Moschino. I really have to feel fused with it.

• Back then I was still listening to rhythm and blues, and my aunt took me to see a Pete Seeger concert. And it gelled. He made all the sense in the world to me. I got addicted to his albums, and then Belafonte and Odetta - they were the people who seemed to fuse things that were important to me into music. I think Pete the most because he did what he did to the point where he took those enormous risks and then paid for them.

• The reactors in Japan are stable in the same way that a ticking time bomb is also stable. It wouldn't take much to light the fuse - a 6.6 earthquake, like what happened today in Japan, a pipe break, an over-pressurized containment vessel - anything could set it off, in which case we would have another Chernobyl, three times the magnitude of a Chernobyl accident.

• There's such a wealth of arts and styles within the guitar... flamenco, jazz, rock, blues... you name it, it's there. In the early days my dream was to fuse all those styles. Now composing has become just as important.

• Composition is a process of combination, in which thought puts together complementary truths, and talent fuses into harmony the most contrary qualities of style. So that there is no composition without effort, without pain even, as in all bringing forth. The reward is the giving birth to something living--something, that is to say, which, by a kind of magic, makes a living unity out of such opposed attributes as orderliness and spontaneity, thought and imagination, solidity and charm.

• The big change was reggae and hip-hop, which came along after Split Enz had started. When Bob Marley first visited New Zealand, he lit a fuse that is still burning very brightly. The Maori people particularly honor reggae music in a very big way. So there is a strong reggae scene and a strong hip-hop scene, especially among Samoans. There's still plenty of quirky stuff around. No one expects to make much money here, so it definitely does encourage an underground sense.

• Y que no podemos ir al espacio con los pies en el barro. Tampoco podemos convertirnos de hecho en una cultura ecosensible basada en alucinógenos en la Tierra a menos que fusionemos estos opuestos dicotómicos. Sólo en una coincidencia oppositorum, una unión de opuestos, que no se esfuerce por cerrarse, vamos a encontrar la cordura cultural. Y esto es lo que los enteógenos, los alucinógenos, proporcionan con tanta claridad y regularidad. Elevan la paradoja a un nivel de intensidad que nadie puede eludir.

• When you get big special effects pictures, sci-fi and things, there's little or no comedy. Or it's a domestic comedy and there's not one special effect. But very rarely do these things fuse and come out right.

• How can we encourage other human beings to extend their moral sympathies beyond a narrow locus? How can we learn to become mere human beings, shorn of any more compelling national, ethnic, or religious identity? We can be reasonable. It is in the very nature of reason to fuse cognitive and moral horizons. Reason is nothing less than the guardian of love.

• Todos los avances logrados por el hombre se han debido a la actitud aventurera. Esta actitud inspira insatisfacción con el mundo tal como es; despierta el deseo de cambiar y mejorar las cosas. La actitud aventurera es la llama que enciende la mecha para hacer estallar nuevas ideas.

• En la guerra de sexos, la irreflexión es un arma del hombre, la venganza de la mujer. Ambas se generan recíprocamente, pero el deseo de venganza de la mujer supera cualquier otra emoción. Sin embargo, cuando se han dicho todas las palabras desagradables sobre las mujeres, todavía tenemos que admitir, con Byron, que son más agradables que los hombres. Son más devotas, más altruistas y más sinceras emocionalmente. Cuando se enciende la larga mecha de la crueldad, el engaño y la venganza, es la irreflexión masculina la que la ha encendido.

  Cyril Connolly

• In societies where modern conditions of productions prevail, all of life presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. Everything that was directly lived has moved away into representation. The images detached from every aspect of life fuse in a common stream in which the unity of this life can no longer be re-established. Reality considered partially unfolds, in its own general unity as a pseudo-world apart, an object of mere contemplation . . . The spectacle is not a collection of images, but a social relation among people, mediated by images.

  Guy Debord
