• Stain Boy Of all the super heroes, the strangest one by far, doesn't have a special power, or drive a fancy car. next to Superman and batman, I guess he must seem tame. But to me he is quite special, and Stain Boy is his name. He can't fly around tall buildings, or outrun a speeding train, the only talent he seems to have is to leave a nasty stain. Sometimes I know it bothers him, that he can't run or swim or fly, and because of this one ability, his dry cleaning bill is sky-high.

• Me gustan los libros grandes y no puedo mentir Vosotros, otros lectores, no podéis negar Que cuando un niño entra con El nombre del viento Como un ladrillo de tapa dura de ganar. Story bling. Quieres robar esa cosa porque ves que ese chico está leyendo a toda velocidad el libro que está leyendo. Estoy enganchada y no puedo dejar de suplicar Quiero acurrucarme con eso por años, Todas las mil páginas. Los críticos trataron de advertirme Pero con esa trama me enganchaste como Bradley. Ooh, rompe esa gorda espina dorsal. Sabes que quiero hacerte mía. Este libro es genial porque no es una novela rápida.

• Nos dicen que los coches son un derroche. ¿Desperdiciar qué? El petróleo ha servido de mucho en el subsuelo durante millones de años. Nos dicen que hay que sustituir el coche por el transporte público. Pero es difícil llegar a la ventanilla de McDonald's desde un tren a toda velocidad. Y nos dicen que los coches contaminan. Hace cien años, las calles de las ciudades estaban llenas de excrementos de caballo hasta los tobillos. ¿Qué tipo de contaminación quieres? ¿Preferirías morir de cáncer a los ochenta o de fiebre tifoidea a los nueve?

• Nuestra sociedad se ha reorientado hacia el momento presente. Todo es en directo, en tiempo real y siempre en marcha. No se trata de una mera aceleración, por mucho que nuestros estilos de vida y tecnologías hayan acelerado el ritmo al que intentamos hacer las cosas. Se trata más bien de una disminución de todo lo que no está sucediendo en este momento, y de la avalancha de todo lo que supuestamente sí lo está.

• Harry was speeding toward the ground when the crowd saw him clap his hand to his mouth as though he was going to be sick-he hit the field on all fours-coughed-and something gold fell into his hand. 'I've got the snitch!' he shouted, waving it above his head, and the game ended in complete confusion. 'He didn't catch it, he nearly swalloed it,' Flint was still howling twenty minutes later, but it made no difference-Harry hadn't broken any rules and Lee Jordan was still happily shouting the results-Gryffindor had won by 170 points to 60.

• When you're young, you think everything you do is disposable. You move from now to now, crumpling time up in your hands, tossing it away. You're your own speeding car. You think you can get rid of things, and people too—leave them behind. You don't yet know about the habit they have, of coming back. Time in dreams is frozen. You can never get away from where you've been.

• South Africa used to seem so far away. Then it came home to me. It began to signify the meaning of white hatred here. That was what the sheets and the suits and the ties covered up, not very well. That was what the cowardly guys calling me names from their speeding truck wanted to happen to me, to all of me: to my people. That was what would happen to me if I walked around the corner into the wrong neighborhood. That was Birmingham. That was Brooklyn. That was Reagan. That was the end of reason. South Africa was how I came to understand that I am not against war; I am against losing the war.

• It was right after 9/11 and I decided to walk around the grounds of the Pentagon, because I had never been there. Out of nowhere comes this speeding camouflaged golf cart and this guy starts yelling at me, 'What do you think you're doing!' The guy wrote my name down and began to follow me before I got really scared and took off as fast as I could.

• Over the summer we chatted one night while Angie stripped a bed, changed wet sheets, comforted and repajamaed a toddler, and chased down a car of speeding teenagers while shaking a brick at them, never once interrupting the conversation or setting down her margarita. The only reason this woman isn't president of General Motors is because she's chosen not to be.

• Un beso sobre tarta de manzana a la mode con la cremosidad de la vainilla fundiéndose en el calor de la tarta. Un beso sobre chocolate, cuando no has comido chocolate en un año. Un beso sobre las palmeras que pasan a toda velocidad, arrastrando nubes rosas cuando conduces por el Strip chisporroteando champán. Un beso sobre focos abanicando el cielo y el mar hinchado derramándose como lágrimas sobre tus piernas.

• In giving our daughter life, her father and I had also given her death, something I hadn't realized until that new creature flailed her arms in what was now infinite space. We had given her disease and speeding cars and flying cornices: once out of the fortress that had been myself, she would never be safe again ... We disappoint our kids and they disappoint us, and sometimes they grow up into people we don't like very much. We go on loving, though what we love may be more memory than actuality. And until the day we die we fear the phone that rings in the middle of the night.
