“Afrontaba con verdadero temor (quizá con verdadero coraje) esas ejecuciones imaginarias; cada simulacro duraba unos pocos segundos; cerrado el círculo, Jaromir interminablemente volvía a las trémulas vísperas de su muerte. Luego reflexionó que la realidad no suele coincidir con las previsiones; con lógica perversa infirió que prever un detalle circunstancial es impedir que éste suceda. Fiel a esa débil magia, inventaba, para que no sucedieran, rasgos atroces; naturalmente, acabó por temer que esos rasgos fueran proféticos.”

“There's a wonderful, perhaps apocryphal story that people tell about Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the brilliant, prickly, and iconoclastic late senator from New York. Apparently, Moynihan was in a heated argument with one of his colleagues over an issue, and the other senator, sensing he was on the losing side of the argument, blurted out: 'Well, you may disagree with me, Pat, I'm entitled to my own opinion." To which Moynihan frostily replied, "You are entitled to you own opinion, but you are not entitled to you own facts.”
