"11. 'anytime I want to wipe out the entire universe, I remember that humans made music and then I think that maybe, just maybe, you weirdos have something to offer after all.'
'the yeti had already taught Arthur that a bit of fear could be healthy... Wasn’t fear a part of the human condition'
'You do it because maybe someone will see and do the same for another, and then that person will help someone else.'" — Dec 28, 2025 01:35PM

“(En el momento en el que escribo, unos refugiados kosovares intentan pasar clandestinamente a Inglaterra desde Calais. Los traficantes de personas les exigen enormes cantidades de dinero y a veces desaparecen antes incluso de que comience la travesía.

Hoy en día se persigue a los traficantes de personas y se deplora su existencia de la misma forma que hace treinta años se deploraba la de las personas que practicaban abortos. Pero no se cuestionan las leyes ni el orden mundial que provocan este fenómeno. Y seguramente entre los traficantes de inmigrantes, como antes entre las aborteras, debe de haber algunos más serios que otros.”
