• Necesita un diario nuevo. El que tiene es problemático. Para llegar al presente, necesita hojear el pasado, y cuando lo hace, recuerda cosas, y las entradas de su nuevo diario se convierten, en su mayor parte, en reacciones a los días que lamenta, que quiere corregir, que quiere reescribir.

• Mi mente, lo sé, puedo demostrarlo, planea sobre alas de colibrí. Se cierne y se agita. Y cuando funciona a pleno rendimiento, la agitación no se detiene. Las máquinas no descansan, los sistemas rara vez se enfrían. Y aunque puedo olvidar cualquier cosa importante -por eso la gente me cuenta secretos-, mi mente tiene un asombroso don para la organización cuando se trata del dolor. Nunca se pierde nada de lo que me atormenta, ni siquiera disminuye su color, intensidad o calidad de sonido.

  Dave Eggers

  Dolor, Color, Alas

• We're in an era where they've sanitized home life in movies to such a degree that there is a certain home life that might be true if you have two perfect parents, and a nanny, and a couple babysitters, and support, and lots of money, and there's no strain at home, or whatever. But for most people, there's strain, you know? There's a lot of pressure, things can't be perfect, parents can't be perfect all the time. There's a divorce, there's money issues, whatever. People work, so you don't always have these vast reserves of patience every time your kid goes crazy.
