Sandpaper Quotes

• Cuando la gente te haga daño una y otra vez, piensa en ellos como si fueran papel de lija. Pueden arañarte y herirte un poco, pero al final, tú acabas pulido y ellos, inservibles.

• Everything is mediated. Everything is influenced by its maker. And happily, right? I'm so happy everyone leaves fingerprints on things whether they like it or not. Fingerprints solve crimes. They're profound. They're your best and worst friend and you were born with them and you can't get away from them without a lot of pain and sandpaper.

• Es curioso: De niño siempre imaginé que los adultos tenían una especie de caja de herramientas interior llena de herramientas brillantes: la sierra del discernimiento, el martillo de la sabiduría, la lija de la paciencia. Pero cuando crecí me di cuenta de que la vida te daba estas viejas herramientas oxidadas y dobladas -amistades, oración, conciencia, honestidad- y te decía "haz lo mejor que puedas con ellas, tendrán que servir". Y la mayoría de las veces, contra todo pronóstico, lo hacen.

• And what are you doing here, Nicholas? Decided to watch me sleep?" "Yes," said Nick, and bowed is head over his sword again. He had tissues, oil, and sandpaper laid out on the windowsill in front of him, and a little stone block he was passing his sword up and down, very carefully. "I came to gaze upon your sleeping face. Only you had the blanket over your head, so I just had to gaze at a lump I thought was your sleeping face, and that turned out to be your shoulder. Which just wasn't as special." ~Nick and Mae

• Sin duda me había ocurrido algo durante la noche. O después de meses de tensión había llegado al borde de algún precipicio y ahora caía, como en un sueño lentamente, aun cuando seguía sosteniendo el termómetro en la mano, aun cuando estaba de pie con las suelas de las zapatillas en el suelo, aun cuando me sentía sólidamente contenida por las miradas expectantes de mis hijos. Era culpa de la tortura que me había infligido mi marido. Pero bastaba, tenía que arrancar el dolor de la memoria, tenía que lijar los arañazos que dañaban mi cerebro.

• I went to a strict elementary school with nuns, and uniforms that I'm pretty sure were made out of sandpaper. It was an academic, sports-oriented place. I liked to read, and wanted to act, and didn't try out for volleyball. I was weird. The other girls would dip my hair in ink and stuff.

• I stayed under the moon too long.I am silvered with lust.Dreams flick like minnows through my eyes.My voice is trees tossing in the wind.I loose myself like a flock of blackbirdsstorming into your face.My lightest touch leaves blue prints,bruises on your mind.Desire sandpapers your skinso thin I read the veins and arteriesmaps of routes I will traveltill I lodge in your spine.The night is our fur.We curl inside it licking.

• Her voice was as rough as sandpaper. As long as Blomkvist lived, he would never forget her face as she went on the attack. Her teeth were bared like a beast of prey. Her eyes were glittering, black as coal. She moved with the lightning speed of a tarantula and seemed totally focus on her prey as she swung the club again, striking Martin in the ribs.

• You cover Q-tips with sandpaper and ram them up your nostrils
  as far as they will go. Then you sniff talcum powder while shredding
