Shovels Quotes - Page 2

• La forma de sostener el arco, la forma en que los violinistas están entrenados para producir una nota, es realmente diferente. No soy un experto en música clásica. No quiero decir algo que acabe en la prensa y alguien venga corriendo detrás de mí con una pala, pero se les enseña a que cada nota se mantenga sola de una forma muy deliberada, que es muy diferente de cómo se encadenan las notas en la música antigua para crear ritmo.

• It [retirement] was absolutely boring. You can't go and say, 'I'm retired now. That's it!' It won't take long and you're really gone for good and someone throws the last shovel of dirt on a coffin with your name on it. That's the moment you're really retiring - when you die.

• If you want to marry me, here's what you'll have to do: You must learn how to make a perfect chicken-dumpling stew. And you must sew my holey socks, And soothe my troubled mind, And develop the knack for scratching my back, And keep my shoes spotlessly shined. And while I rest you must rake up the leaves, And when it is hailing and snowing You must shovel the walk...and be still when I talk, And-hey-where are you going?

Puede secarse y ser arrastrada por el viento. O puede ser pisada y aplastada. Así que sigue mi consejo y ten cuidado donde caga el perro.

• It's too early for there to be any coffee. I stare dully at the empty pot in the common room, while Sam picks up a jar of instant grounds. "Don't," I warn him. He scoops up a heaping spoonful and, heedlessly, shovels it into his mouth. It crunches horribly. Then his eyes go wide. "Dry," he croaks. "Tongue...shriveling." I shake my head, picking up the jar. "It's dehydrated. You're supposed to add water. Good thing you're mostly made of water." He tries to say something. Brown powder dusts his shirt. "Also," I tell him, "that's decaf.
