(su amiga va a ser operada de cáncer y, de repente, todo a su alrededor le parece tan precioso).

It cannot be gone through; it must respectfully be gone around... it is beautiful, unique, exotic: but also. Let's face it, it is at times an enormous inconvenience.

• If one looks at all closely at the middle of our own century, the events that occupy us, our customs, our achievements and even our topics of conversation, it is difficult not to see that a very remarkable change in several respects has come into our ideas; a change which, by its rapidity, seems to us to foreshadow another still greater. Time alone will tell the aim, the nature and limits of this revolution, whose inconveniences and advantages our posterity will recognize better than we can.

• El fin de semana había comenzado con el resentimiento habitual y había continuado con un mal humor medio reprimido. Era, por supuesto, culpa suya. Había estado más dispuesto a herir los sentimientos de su mujer y privar a su hija que a incomodar a un bar lleno de desconocidos. Deseaba que hubiera un recuerdo de su hija muerta que no estuviera manchado de culpa y remordimiento.

• I have read that the secret of gallantry is to accept the pleasures of life leisurely, and its inconveniences with a shrug; as well as that, among other requisites, the gallant person will always consider the world with a smile of toleration, and his own doings with a smile of honest amusement, and Heaven with a smile which is not distrustful — being thoroughly persuaded that God is kindlier than the genteel would regard as rational.

• We're not children here. The law is-how should I put it? A convenience. Or a convenience for some people, and an inconvenience for other people.

Stay out in the rain, schnook.That’s what the law means to him

• Complete and accurate surveillance as a means of control is probably a practical impossibility. What is much more likely is a loss of privacy and constant inconvenience as the wrong people gain access to information, as one wastes time convincing the inquisitors that one is in fact innocent, or as one struggles to untangle the errors of the errant machine.
