• Acabo de leer un libro sobre cómo conseguir el control de mi tiempo y, por tanto, de mi vida. Mi tiempo siempre ha tenido tendencia a escapárseme y hacer lo que le da la gana. Mi vida lo sigue, como un cachorro tras un perro pajarero sin adiestrar. Al llegar la noche, mi vida aparece, normalmente cubierta de barro y llena de pegatinas, agotada pero sonriendo feliz. Mi tiempo nunca vuelve.

• The rule of thumb for the old backpacking was that the weight of your pack should equal the weight of yourself and the kitchen range combined. Just a casual glance at the full pack sitting on the floor could give you a double hernia and fuse four vertebrae. After carrying the pack all day, you had to remember to tie one leg to a tree before you dropped it. Otherwise you would float off into space. The pack eliminated the need for any special kind of ground-gripping shoes, because your feet would sink a foot and a half into hard-packed earth, two inches into solid rock.

• He wondered what kind of blueprint beavers had for creating such a structure-or did they simply start aimlessly weaving stuff together until they had a dam? Did they even think about creating a dam? Maybe dams were simply accidents that resulted from their fooling around, much like the Army Corps of Engineers' accomplishments.
