“The big three television companies (CBS, ABC, and NBC) measured their audiences in tens of millions: when CBS broadcast the episode of I Love Lucy in which Lucy had a baby to coincide with the actress who played Lucy, Lucille Ball, also having a baby, on January 19, 1953, 68.8 percent of the country’s television sets were tuned in, a far higher proportion than were tuned in to Dwight Eisenhower’s inauguration the following day.”

“Eisenhower’s biggest domestic achievement was arguably the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, which called for 41,000 miles of highways to be built by 1969 at an estimated cost of $ 25 billion. Predictably enough, the targets were missed: the first transcontinental interstate, I-80, was not finished until 1986 and the southern interstate, I-10, was not completed until 1990.”

“A veces ocurren cosas que nos hacen cambiar. El tipo de cosas que marcan un antes y un después. Para algunas personas puede ser algo nimio, algo que para el resto no sea significante. Para otras, puede tratarse de un suceso irreversible, de esos que te destrozan el corazón.
Nunca sabremos como hubiésemos sido si eso no hubiese ocurrido. Así es la vida, caprichosa, indescifrable, enigmática. Probamente por eso seguimos cuestionando durante toda nuestra existencia que hacemos aquí, cual es exactamente la finalidad de que ahora mismo estemos caminando por el mundo. Nadie lo sabe. Al igual que nadie saber por que en ocasiones ocurren cosas que se supone que no deberían pasar, cosas inexplicables e injustas que nos hacen desear tirar la toalla y dejar de jugar a esto que llamamos vida.”
