• It is certain that there may be extraordinary mental activity with an extremely small absolute mass of nervous matter: thus the wonderfully diversified instincts, mental powers, and affections of ants are notorious, yet their cerebral ganglia are not so large as the quarter of a small pin's head.

• There has come about a general public awareness that America is not automatically, and effortlessly, and unquestionably the leader of the world in science and technology.

• Tratando de agotarse, Vaughan ideó un interminable almanaque de heridas aterradoras y colisiones demenciales: Los pulmones de los ancianos perforados por los tiradores de las puertas; los pechos de las jóvenes empaladas en las columnas de dirección; las mejillas de los jóvenes guapos desgarradas en los pestillos cromados de los faros. Para Vaughan, estas heridas constituían la clave de una nueva sexualidad, nacida de una tecnología perversa. Las imágenes de estas heridas colgaban en la galería de su mente, como objetos expuestos en el museo de un matadero.

Life is incredible.
