Kaui Hart Hemmings
“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.”
Kaui Hart Hemmings, The Descendants

Sergi Pàmies
“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.”
Sergi Pàmies, Confessions d'un culer defectuós

Haruki Murakami
“It's kind of embarrassing to put this into words," she said, "but I want to stay friends with you, Junpei. Not just for now, but even after we get older. A lot older. I love Takatsuki, but I need you, too, in a different way. Does that make me selfish?”
Haruki Murakami, After the Quake

“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.”
Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami
“He once told me about polar bears - what solitary animals they are. They mate just once a year. One time in a whole year. There is no such thing as a lasting male-female bond in their world. One male polar bear and one female polar bear meet by sheer chance somewhere in the frozen vastness, and they mate. It doesn't take long. And once they are finished, the male runs away from the female as if he is frightened to death: he runs from the place where they have mated. He never looks back - literally. The rest of the year he lives in deep solitude. Mutual communications - the touching of two hearts - do not exist for them. So, that is the story of polar bears - or at least it is what my employer told me about them.'

How very strange.'

Yes, it is strange. I remember asking my employer, ' Then what do polar bears exist for?' ' Yes, exactly,' he said with a big smile. 'Then what do we exist for?”
Haruki Murakami, After the Quake
