"The house was quiet. No one walked through the halls, no one crept into rooms at night to stare at sleeping women. Still, it took her a long time to go back to sleep, and once or twice, when she heard a board creak, she sat up quickly and listened for footsteps." 11 hours, 30 min ago

"Solo lei si muoveva in sintonia con i propri pensieri. Sui volti tesi che la circondavano c'era la consapevolezza che la leggenda fosse rivolta a loro. La leggenda parlava di loro. Forse era la loro. Forse era un'allusione al rituale estivo. Si, la storia li eccitava. E allo stesso tempo erano inorriditi dall'eccitazione che la storia aveva suscitato in loro."

"«Finisce qui tra noi due, piccola?»
«Non lo so», gli disse facendo uno sforzo perché non le tremasse la voce. «Troppo presto per dirlo.»
«Se dovessi dire la mia», ribatté lui, «direi di sì. Oggi ha dimostrato due cose. Una è che una donna in buona salute può correre lontano.»
«Ti chiamo», disse lei.
«L'altra è che i bambini vivi per un matrimonio sono un collante. Quelli morti sono un acido.»"

“Cliff never wondered what Americans would do if the Russians, or the Nazis, or the Japanese, or the Mexicans, or the Vikings, or Alexander the Great ever occupied America by force. He knew what Americans would do. They’d shit their pants and call the fucking cops.”
Quentin Tarantino, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Joan Samson, The Auctioneer
