“He de confesarte que, desde mis días de estudiante, no he sentido ninguna simpatía por los hombres de negocios. No hacen nada si no hay dinero de por medio. A mi entender, son lo que se solía llamar antiguamente, en los buenos tiempos, la escoria de la sociedad.”

“And so my last policy recommendation is to listen to the dissidents, even if you do not like what they have to say. They are the ones who reveal to us the dark realities of our societies, the realities that most of us have the luxury to turn away from. Listen to the dissidents because they warn us of the threats that target minorities first and inevitably spread to the majority. Every society has his dissidents, not just dictatorships. They speak for the disenfranchised, the ignored, and the persecuted. Listen to them now, because they speak of what is to come.”

“De la Peña és un cas de premonició col-lectiva eternament incomplerta. Tots els que l'hem defensat sabem que no tenim raó però ens neguem a admetre-ho. En sobretaules de sopars de Nadal especialment nostàlgics, quan arriba l'hora de les confessions o quan baixem els cartrons i els papers dels regals al contenidor, impulsats per l'excès d'alcohol i d'hidrats de carboni, ens veiem amb cor d'afirmar que De la Peña és el millor jugador que hem vist mai. És una afirmació tramposa i oportunista perquè tothom sap que hem admirat amb molta més devoció altres jugadors però, en els debats culers, sempre hi ha un moment en què arrisques més del compte i, com feia De la Peña, calcules malament les conseqüencies del que, en principi, semblava una genialitat o una bona idea. A prop del contenidor, aquesta afirmació pot derivar en el descobriment d'un altre delapeñista i aleshores les abraçades són d'una calidesa nadalenca.”

“Así pensaba cuando tenía tu edad, y sigo pensando lo mismo. Tal vez porque no he madurado, o tal vez porque siempre he tenido razón.”

“I bet in big cities you can walk down the street scrowling and no one will ask you what's wrong or encourage you to smile, but everyone here has the attitude that we're lucky to live in Hawaii; paradise reigns supreme. I think paradise can go fuck itself.”
