“There comes a point in life where each one of us who survives begins to feel like a ghost that has forgotten to die at the right time, and certainly most of us were more amusing when we were young. It seems that age folds the heart in on itself. Some of us walk detached, dreaming on the past, and some of us realize that we have lost the trick of standing in the sun. For many of us the thought of the future is a cause for irritation rather than optimism, as if we have had enough of new things, and wish only for the long sleep that rounds the edges of our lives”

“Los dos hablamos mecánicamente. Nuestros labios se movían, pero mentían. Sólo nuestros ojos se movían y se reconocían. Pero, cuando al fin la tomé entre mis brazos, nuestro labios fueron sinceros.

Jamás olvidaré ese instante. Fue entonces cuando vi la sombra de nuestras cabezas unidad en la pared encalada. Lámparas, mariposas de aceite por todas partes. Por todas partes, sombras que danzaban, vacilaban, se alejaban por aquel largo y desnudo pasillo.

-Hélène-llamó el enfero-. Hélèn.

No nos movimos. Ella parecía sorber, beberse mi corazón. Cuando la dejé marchar, la quería menos.”
― Irène Némirovsky, Fire in the Blood

“Society' consists mostly of women. Women carry on most of its processes, therefore women are its makers and masters, they are responsible for it, that is the general belief.

We might as well hold women responsible for harems--or prisoners for jails. To be helplessly confined to a given place or condition does not prove that one has chosen it; much less made it.

No; in an androcentric culture "society," like every other social relation, is dominated by the male and arranged for his convenience.”
― Charlotte Perkins Gilman, The Man-Made World

“Our life is like a land journey, too even and easy and dull over long distances across the plains, too hard and painful up the steep grades; but, on the summits of the mountain, you have a magnificent view--and feel exalted--and your eyes are full of happy tears--and you want to sing--and wish you had wings! And then--you can't stay there, but must continue your journey--you begin climbing down the other side, so busy with your footholds that your summit experience is forgotten.”
― Lloyd C. Douglas, The Robe

“The first thing to get in your head is that every single
Girl can be caught - and that you'll catch her if
You set your toils right. Birds will sooner fall dumb in
Springtime,
Cicadas in summer, or a hunting-dog
Turn his back on a hare, than a lover's bland inducements
Can fail with a woman, Even one you suppose
Reluctant will want it.”
― Ovid

“The war on foodborne pathogens deserves the sort of national attention and resources that has been devoted to the war on drugs. Far more Americans are severely harmed every year by food poisoning than by illegal drug use. And the harms caused by food poisoning are usually inadvertent and unanticipated. People who smoke crack know the potential dangers; most people who eat hamburgers don’t. Eating in the United States should no longer be a form of high-risk behavior.”
― Eric Schlosser, Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal
