“They are so very cultivated, so very rich and so utterly charming. At the end of each day, they all ask themselves: 'Is it time I stopped?' And they all reply: 'If I did, there would be no meaning to my life.'
As if they actually knew what the meaning of life was.”

“He knows that the gazelle's power lies in its strong legs. The power of the seagull

the tiger does not fear the hyena is because he is aware of his own strength.”

“¡Un mundo sin gente estúpida sería un caos! –era la voz del que llevaba ropa de cuero con cadenas–. ¡En vez de desempleados como tenemos hoy, habría empleos de sobra y nadie para trabajar!
–¡Basta! –Mi voz sonó autoritaria, decisiva–. ¡Que nadie diga nada más!
Y para mi sorpresa, se hizo el silencio. Mi corazón hervía por dentro, pero seguí hablando con los policías como si fuese la persona más tranquila del mundo.
–Si fueran peligrosos, no estarían provocando.
El policía se volvió hacia el cajero: –Si nos necesita, estaremos cerca.
Y antes de salir, comentó con el otro, de modo que su voz se oyese en toda la tienda:
–Me encanta la gente estúpida: sin ella, a esta hora podríamos vernos obligados a enfrentarnos a unos atracadores.
–Tienes razón –respondió el otro policía–. La gente estúpida nos distrae, y no es arriesgado.
Con la formalidad habitual, se despidieron de mí.”
― The Zahir
