September Quotes - Page 4

• She put her hand on her chest. “I have magic yet. If you will set the clock working again, then I must be still. I have read quite as many stories as you, September. More, no doubt. And I know a secret you do not: I am not the villain. I am no dark lord. I am the princess in this tale. I am the maiden, with her kingdom stolen away. And how may a princess remain safe and protected through centuries, no matter who may assail her? She sleeps. For a hundred years, for a thousand. Until her enemies have all perished and the sun rises over her perfect, innocent face once more.

• ¿Quién eres?" "Soy la Muerte", dijo la criatura. "Pensé que era obvio". "¡Pero eres tan pequeño!" "Sólo porque eres pequeño. Eres joven y estás lejos de tu Muerte, Septiembre, así que parezco lo que parecería cualquier cosa si la vieras desde muy lejos: muy pequeña, muy inofensiva. Pero siempre estoy más cerca de lo que parece. A medida que crezcas, creceré contigo, hasta que al final, me asome enorme y oscuro sobre tu cama, y cerrarás los ojos para no verme.

• Hats change everything. September knew this with all her being, deep in the place where she knew her own name, and that her mother would still love her even though she hadn’t waved goodbye. For one day her father had put on a hat with golden things on it and suddenly he hadn’t been her father anymore, he had been a soldier, and he had left. Hats have power. Hats can change you into someone else.

• September could see it. She did not know what is was she saw. That is the disadvantage of being a heroine, rather than a narrator. She knew only that a red light glowed and went dark, glowed and went dark.

• True names,” said September wonderingly. “These are all true names. Like, when your parents call you to dinner and you don’t come and they call again but you still don’t come, and they call you by all your names together, and then, of course, you have to come, and right quick. Because true names have power, like Lye said. But I never told anyone my true name. The Green Wind told me not to. I didn’t understand what he meant, but I do now.

• ¿Y qué dice la lluvia por la noche en un pueblo pequeño, qué tiene que decir la lluvia? ¿Quién camina bajo las ramas goteantes de melancolía escuchando la lluvia? ¿Quién está allí en el chapoteo borroso de millones de agujas de la lluvia, escuchando la música grave de la lluvia por la noche, lluvia de septiembre, lluvia de septiembre, tan oscura y suave? ¿Quién está ahí escuchando la lluvia que ruge a un nivel constante alrededor, meditando y escuchando y esperando, en la oscuridad de la noche bañada por la lluvia y teñida por la lluvia?

• We now have capabilities in science and technology that raise the very realistic possibility that a small group of terrorists could kill not only thousands of people, as they did on September 11th, but hundreds of thousands of people. And that has changed the dimension of the threat we face.

• In a manner which matches the fortuity, if not the consequence, of Archimedes' bath and Newton's apple, the [3.6 million year old] fossil footprints were eventually noticed one evening in September 1976 by the paleontologist Andrew Hill, who fell while avoiding a ball of elephant dung hurled at him by the ecologist David Western.

• Yo también recuerdo el 11 de septiembre. Recuerdo que inmediatamente pusimos en marcha procedimientos de seguridad en toda nuestra empresa que hacía negocios en 170 países en los que pensábamos que los intereses corporativos serían los siguientes en ser atacados. Para recuperar nuestro país, para mantener nuestra nación a salvo, tenemos que empezar por vencer a Hillary Clinton.

• Once more September marveled that even the Dodo knew what she wanted to be when she was grown. She simply could not think what she herself might do. September expected that destinies, which is how she thought of professions, simply landed upon one like a crown, and ever after no one questioned or fretted over it, being sure of one’s own use in the world. It was only that somehow her crown had not yet appeared. She did hope it would hurry up.

• I don’t want to be a Princess,” she said finally. “You can’t make me be one.” She knew very well what became of Princesses, as Princesses often get books written about them. Either terrible things happened to them, such as kidnappings and curses and pricking fingers and getting poisoned and locked up in towers, or else they just waited around till the Prince finished with the story and got around to marrying her. Either way, September wanted nothing to do with Princessing.

• In his or her own way, everyone I saw before me looked happy. Whether they were really happy or just looked it, I couldn't tell. But they did look happy on this pleasant early afternoon in late September, and because of that I felt a kind of loneliness new to me, as if I were the only one here who was not truly part of the scene.

• She liked anything orange: leaves; some moons; marigolds; chrysanthemums; cheese; pumpkin, both in pie and out; orange juice; marmalade. Orange is bright and demanding. You can't ignore orange things. She once saw an orange parrot in the pet store and had never wanted anything so much in her life. She would have named it Halloween and fed it butterscotch. Her mother said butterscotch would make a bird sick and, besides, the dog would certainly eat it up. September never spoke to the dog again — on principle.

• El Bin Laden que conocí en cada ocasión vestía una sencilla túnica blanca saudí, con una sencilla kafiya barata y sandalias de plástico muy baratas. Pero en una cinta de vídeo difundida antes del 11 de septiembre, que vi en la televisión libanesa, aparecía con una túnica bordada en oro. Cuando lo vi, pensé, vaya, ¿ha cambiado este tipo? Cuando lo conocí, no me lo habría imaginado con una túnica tan dorada.

• On September 11th, 2001, in our time of grief, the American people came together. We offered our neighbors a hand and we offered the wounded our blood. We reaffirmed our ties to each other and our love of community and country. On that day, no matter where we came from, what God we prayed to, or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family.

• Cuando Estados Unidos invadió Irak, una encuesta del New York Times/CBS News estimaba que el 42 por ciento del público estadounidense creía que Sadam Husein era directamente responsable de los atentados del 11 de septiembre contra el World Trade Center y el Pentágono. Y una encuesta de ABC news afirmaba que el 55 por ciento de los estadounidenses creía que Sadam Husein apoyaba directamente a Al Qaeda. Ninguna de estas opiniones se basa en pruebas (porque no las hay).
