Two months earlier, Sam Harris had been reading the travel section of a newspaper in the London University library when she noticed
“The minutes ticked on, and Alice listened as her children shared stories and swapped reminiscences so that, one finger at a time, they let her go, and as they did, the smoky fetters loosened and untangled themselves. Alice lingered just long enough to gather up all the things she should have known, and with her last thought, she gave herself over to the smoke, blended with it, became it, wafting, whisper, wisp, gone”

“When I write a book I first have an idea, a blank piece of paper in front of me and I have no idea where it will take me when I start writing. Sometimes I surprise myself where my writing takes me.”

“You get to the point where you're just empty. Empty of feelings and thoughts. Of bone and flesh and blood. Empty of hope and despair. You aren't dead. But you aren't living, either.”

“Respiro profundo otra vez y ya van tantas... La cama es un mal lugar para estos pensamientos. Me siendo agobiado. Ya no aguanto más. El #mundo "desquició" sin darnos tiempo. Enjaulados en nuestras propias casas rogando que el #monstruo no entre a aniquilarnos. Nunca nos sentí tan frágiles e indefensos. El #virus no conoce de fronteras, ni de etnias, ni mucho menos, de religiones... iBasta de noticias, por favor! El Gobierno de turno nos indica hasta en qué momentos podemos respirar. ¿Hoy me tocaba ir al baño? Ya ni sé que día es hoy... Suspiro profundo. #Extraño a demasiada gente. Extraño demasiadas cosas. Extraño tener otro tipo de problemas. Mis pensamientos que se van enredando y diluyendo. La cama que se hace demasiado ancha y fría. Todo esto parece una película de Ciencia Ficción, una de terror, una conspiración mundial... Ya ni me doy cuenta si respiro. Sí, sí: ¡es una conspiración mundial! Es parte de un Plan #macabro de los "dueños del mundo". Inventaron una #Pandemia para que entremos en #pánico y nos encerremos como pichoncitos mojados. Las economías caen estrepitosamente. Los países que se debilitan hasta límites impensados. #Crisis, #muerte y #pobreza por doquier. Las necesidades obligan a las personas enjauladas a ser más adictas que nunca a la realidad virtual. Eso es lo que querían, eso es lo que buscaban... ¿Aún existe la realidad real? Es un Plan que viene desde muy lejos. Y esta, es la antesala del Plan Maestro. Ahora nos instalarán chips para controlarnos del todo e iremos perdiendo, una a una, las #libertades individuales que tanta sangre nos costó conseguir. "Es por nuestra seguridad", nos dirán con tono paternal. Nos quieren débiles, asustados, divididos, denunciándonos, enojados, indefinidos y adictos. La tecnología nos hace más manipulables que un ratón... Cuando suene el timbre, todos iremos tras el queso, reclamando -al unísono- por un poderoso #Gobierno Único, de un Nuevo #Orden Mundial, que cuidará el remanente de la especie... Por fin, mis pensamientos, exhaustos, terminan flanqueando y me quedo dormido...
Por suerte, ahora, puedo tener otras pesadillas, algo distintas a nuestra angustiante realidad...”

“Who are we after we’re gone? I wonder. It’s a good question to ponder. Most people can’t come up with an answer right away. They frown, consider it for a minute. Maybe even sleep on it. Then the answers start to come. We’re our children, of course. Our grandchildren. Our great-grandchildren. We’re all the people who will go on to live because we lived. We are our wisdom, our intellect, our beauty filtered through generations, continuing to spill into the world and make a difference.”
