“We never know what choices will lead to defining moments in our lives. A glance to the left instead of right could define who we meet and who passes us by. Our life path can be determined by a single phone call we make, or neglect to make.”

“Frank knew the correct term was sword rapier and that it was a reproduction of the kind of weapon used by armies in seventeenth-century Europe.
Made of high carbon steel, the blade was as long as a yardstick and gained another six or seven inches in its scabbard. The cup hilt indicated its Spanish roots. Less than three pounds in all, he had to admit it was easy to carry, fitting close to his body. Then why the aversion, the dread?
Was it some pacifist leanings? Or the distaste for a weapon that might end a life?”
― Shared Sorrows

“Las dioxinas, sin embargo, fueron involuntarias, ya que se trata de subproductos formados cuando se mezclan hidrocarburos con cloro, con resultados persistentes y desastrosos. Aparte de su papel perturbador de las hormonas en los cambios sexuales, su aplicación más infame antes de que se prohibieran fue en el denominado «agente naranja», un defoliante utilizado para despojar de vegetación selvas vietnamitas enteras a fin de que los insurgentes no tuvieran dónde ocultarse. Entre 1964 y 1971, Estados Unidos roció Vietnam con 45 millones de litros de agente naranja. Cuatro décadas después, las selvas más fuertemente afectadas todavía no han vuelto a crecer. En su lugar abunda ahora una especie herbácea, el cogón, considerada una de las peores malas hierbas de todo el mundo.”
