• A salesman called on my wife the other day and tried to sell her a freezer. You'll save a fortune on your food bills, he promised. I can't tell you how much you'll save. It'll be tremendous. Said my wife: I'm sure you're right, but we're already saving a fortune with our new car by not taking the bus. We're saving a fortune with our new washing machine by not sending out the laundry. We're saving a fortune with our new dishwasher by giving up the maid. The plain truth is that right now we just can't afford to save any more!

  Kisses you quickly, and is gone.

Él simplemente tenía que ganar cada cosa cada vez.

• Pero un buen día, el jardinero descuidado creció, Las doncellas y las hadas se mantuvieron alejadas, Y en una sequía las orugas se lanzaron sobre el brote y cada rocío. Que Dios proteja la cepa, si el Cielo no envía provisiones, la flor más bella del jardín muere.

• Maybe, just maybe, there should be a graphic novel dealing with the contribution of the women of the civil rights movement, to tell their story. The pain, the hurt. They raised their children. Some were working as maids, but when they left those kitchens, those homes, they made it to the mass meetings. And they put their bodies on the lines, also.

• Hay un sauce que crece al borde de un arroyo, que muestra sus hojas amarillentas en la corriente vidriosa; allí llegó con fantásticas guirnaldas de flores de cuervo, ortigas, margaritas y largas púrpuras que los pastores liberales dan un nombre más grosero, pero que nuestras frías doncellas llaman dedos de hombres muertos: Allí, en las ramas colgantes su corona de maleza trepando para colgar, una astilla envidiosa se rompió; Cuando sus trofeos de maleza y ella misma cayeron en el arroyo de llanto.

• Desearía casarme con un joven hermoso que noche y día pudiera complacerme, que tuviera el poder de aliviarme cuando mi mente o mi cuerpo estuvieran afligidos. Las doncellas están llenas de pensamientos anhelantes que engendran una enfermedad incruenta, y que, a menudo oigo decir a los hombres, sólo se cura con rapidez.

• When I'm on stage, I feel like a performer for sure. I know people are looking at me and taking pictures. That part's wonderful. But, I live the most boring life away from what you see me on camera doing. The other 300 days out of the year I'm just the most normal person in the universe. I'm a wife. I'm a mother to my doggies. I'm a maid - I clean the house.

• Pero se contaron muchas, muchas historias; por lo que se pudo deducir, los cincuenta habitantes de la mina habían reaccionado entre sí, de dos en dos, como en el análisis combinatorio, es decir, todos con todos los demás, y especialmente todos los hombres con todas las mujeres, solteronas o casadas, y todas las mujeres con todos los hombres. Me bastaba con elegir dos nombres al azar, mejor si eran de distinto sexo, y preguntar a una tercera persona: "¿Qué pasó con esos dos?" Y he aquí que se me desplegaba una espléndida historia, puesto que todos conocían la historia de todos los demás.

• O Prosperina,
  For the flowers now that, frighted, thou let'st fall
  From Dis's wagon; daffodils,
  That come before the swallow dares, and take
  The winds of March with beauty; violets dim,
  But sweeter than the lids of Juno's eyes
  Or Cytherea's breath; pale primroses,
  That die unmarried, ere they can behold
  Bright Phoebus in his strength--a malady
  Most incident to maids; bold oxlips and
  The crown imperial; lilies of all kinds,
  The flower-de-luce being one.

  William Shakespeare

• Compared with other Americans, journalists are more likely to live in upscale neighborhoods, have maids, own Mercedes and trade stocks, and less likely to go to church, do volunteer work or put down roots in a community. Journalists are over-represented in ZIP code areas where residents are twice as likely as other Americans to rent foreign movies, drink Chablis, own an espresso maker and read magazines such as Architectural Digest and Food & Wine.

  Noon upon the clock,
  A man may put pretence away
  Who leans upon a stick,
  May sing, and sing until he drop,
  Whether to maid or hag.
