• We, as humans, have actually developed a sense of social responsibility. We have gone beyond our basic instincts. We can and we do. This is what sets us apart from the chimps.

So that's what I was doing, and I was going to university at the same time.

• Watching a make-out while wrapped in a blanket with a guy she wanted to make out with made her feel exposed. Obvious. Transparent. Like her thoughts were flashing before his eyes.

When your baby is finally down for the night, pick up a juicy book like Eat, Pray, Love or Pride and Prejudice or my personal favorite,Understanding Sleep Disorders: Narcolepsy and Apnea; A Clinical Study.

• Unas semanas más tarde, estoy en un aula de Chelsea iluminada con fluorescentes esperando el comienzo del examen oficial de Mensa. Estoy sentado junto a un tipo que está haciendo una serie de elaborados estiramientos de cuello, como si estuviéramos a punto de participar en un vigoroso partido de rugby. Sobre su escritorio de formica ha colocado cuatro tipos de chicles: Juicy Fruit, Wrigley Spearmint, Big Red y Eclipse. Odio a este tipo. Espero que no sea un genio.

• Ver al carnicero dar una palmada al filete antes de colocarlo en la cuadra y afilar el cuchillo fue como olvidar el desayuno al instante. También era agradable -lo era de verdad- verle cortarlo tan suave y jugoso. No había nada salvaje en el acto, aunque el cuchillo era grande y afilado; era una obra de arte, de alto arte; había delicadeza de tacto, claridad de tono, hábil manejo del tema, fino sombreado. Era el triunfo de la mente sobre la materia.

• My parents, and librarians along the way, taught me about the space between words; about the margins, where so many juicy moments of life and spirit and friendship could be found.

• No hay sandías salvajes sin pepitas. No hay vacas salvajes... Haces una lista de todas las frutas y verduras, y te preguntas, ¿hay algún homólogo silvestre de esto? Si lo hay, no es tan grande, no es tan dulce, no es tan jugosa, y tiene muchas más semillas. Hemos modificado genéticamente de forma sistemática todos los alimentos, los vegetales y los animales que comemos desde que los cultivamos. Se llama selección artificial.

• The greatest feminists have also been the greatest lovers. I'm thinking not only of Mary Wollstonecraft and her daughter Mary Shelley, but of Anais Nin, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and of course Sappho. You cannot divide creative juices from human juices. And as long as juicy women are equated with bad women, we will err on the side of being bad.

• Recuperas tu intuición cuando le das espacio, cuando dejas de parlotear con la mente racional. La mente racional no te alimenta. Supones que te da la verdad, porque la mente racional es el becerro de oro que adora esta cultura, pero no es cierto. La racionalidad exprime mucho de lo que es rico, jugoso y fascinante.
