“I sleuth, you know. For a hobby. Harmless outlet for natural inquisitiveness, don't you see, which might otherwise strike inward and produce introspection an' suicide. Very natural, healthy pursuit -- not too strenuous, not too sedentary; trains and invigorates the mind.”

“Too much sanity is madness. The greatest madness of all is to see the world as it is, and not as it should be.”

“Viceversa"
Tengo miedo de verte
necesidad de verte
esperanza de verte
desazones de verte
tengo ganas de hallarte
preocupación de hallarte
certidumbre de hallarte
pobres dudas de hallarte
tengo urgencia de oírte
alegría de oírte
buena suerte de oírte
y temores de oírte
o sea
resumiendo
estoy jodido
y radiante
quizás más lo primero
que lo segundo
y también
viceversa.”

“Steel squared her shoulders. "Ladies, and gentlemen, are are no' at home to Mr Fuckup today. Who are we no' at home to?"
The response wasn't much more than an embarrassed murmur. "Mr Fuckup."
"I CAN'T HEAR YOU! WHO ARE WE NO' AT HOME TO?"
Better this time: "Mr Fuckup."
"ONE MORE TIME!"
They bellowed it out: "WE ARE NOT AT HOME TO MR FUCKUP!"
"Damn right we're no'." She smiled, nodded. "Now get out there and catch me those bloody killers.”
