• El cerebro encaja perfectamente en el cráneo, pero no de forma totalmente plana: todavía hay una capa de líquido entre el hueso y el tejido blando que sirve de amortiguador natural. Sin embargo, algunos choques no pueden absorberse, y cuando la cabeza recibe un golpe demasiado fuerte, el cerebro puede torcerse o sacudirse dentro de su envoltura ósea.

• Por primera vez volaba con propulsión a chorro. Sin vibraciones del motor. Sin torsión ni sonido de latigazos de la hélice. Acompañado de un silbido, mi jet surcaba el aire. Más tarde, cuando me preguntaron qué sentía, dije: "Sentía como si los ángeles empujaran".

• I buy a tractor two years ago, and four-fifths of the tractor manual is about not tipping over, not raising the bucket high enough to hit high-tension wire... not killing yourself, basically. And in that manual, I found out - and it cost me a thousand dollars - that when the tractor is new, 10 hours into use of the tractor, you have to re-torque the lug nuts. If you don't, you will oval the holes. This is buried between the moron warnings. I never found it. I take the tractor in for its regular servicing, and they say my wheels are gone. How am I supposed to know that? "It's in the manual."

• The shadow-past is shaped by everything that never happened. Invisible, it melts the present like rain through karst. A biography of longing. It steers us like magnetism, a spirit torque. This is how one becomes undone by a smell, a word, a place, the photo of a mountain of shoes. By love that closes its mouth before calling a name.
