• Creo en un dios personal que se preocupa por mí y supervisa todo lo que hago. Creo en un dios impersonal que puso el universo en movimiento y se fue a pasar el rato con sus amigas y ni siquiera sabe que estoy vivo. Creo en un universo vacío y sin dios, de caos causal, ruido de fondo y pura suerte ciega... Creo que la vida es un juego, que la vida es una broma cruel, y que la vida es lo que pasa cuando estás vivo y que más vale que te recuestes y la disfrutes.

• Missing someone has to be one of the worst human emotions. All the other feelings like anger and fear and horror get some much more airplay, as if their intensity gives them more value, but whereas those emotions come in violent bursts and are gone again, the gnawing ache of loss has to be simply endured. It's like background noise, it's always there, it never goes away. You just have to try to block it out, distract yourself, hope that tomorrow the hole they left behind has grown a little smaller.

• In my workshop, I like to have the TV on for background noise, but I only put on shows that you don't really need to watch in serial order; stuff you can glance up every once in a while and still know what's going on; for example, Cops reruns, Jeopardy!, and Forensic Files.

• Ver la belleza en esos lugares inesperados. (se pregunta cómo es posible que la gente deje que Bach sea el ruido de fondo.) Ve la oportunidad en lo que parece un inconveniente. (se aleja del atasco y va a la panadería en la que quería parar). Abraza la posibilidad no declarada en lo que parece un día cualquiera. (su amiga va a ser operada de cáncer y, de repente, todo a su alrededor le parece tan precioso).

• I wanted to see if I could create something that is emotional between people. Existing games are about killing each other or killing something together. The idea of social emotion means people need to share feelings. At that moment, the players are in sync. The problem [with many games] is there's no chance to share emotion. Most of them are busy, [there are] explosions everywhere. So we got rid of all the background noise and we had to get rid of the guns.

• Muy cerca de las tiendas CMS, escondido a unos 400 metros en el bosque, estaba el campo de tiro de la prisión. Los funcionarios de prisiones podían pasar allí un buen rato con sus armas de fuego, y el martilleo de múltiples disparos era el típico ruido de fondo durante nuestros días de trabajo. Había algo inquietante en trabajar para una prisión mientras oías a tus carceleros practicar el tiro.

• Men didn't understand that you couldn't let yourself be consumed with passion when there were so many people needing your attention, when there was so much work to do. Men didn't understand that there was nothing big enough to exempt you from your obligations, which began as soon as the sun rose over the paper company and ended only after you'd finished the day's chores and fell exhausted into sleep against the background noise of I-94.

• ¿Surf?", preguntó. Ella se rió, y el sonido envió una onda expansiva a través del agua. Los lamentos se convirtieron en ruido de fondo. Annabeth se preguntó si alguien se había reído antes en el Tártaro, una simple y pura carcajada de placer. Lo dudaba.

• Other memories stick, no matter how much you wish they wouldn’t. They’re like a song you hate but can’t ever get completely out of your head, and this song becomes the background noise of your entire life, snippets of lyrics and lines of music floating up and then receding, a crazy kind of tide that never stops.

• I am much less autistic now, compared to when I was young. I remember some behaviors like picking carpet fuzz and watching spinning plates for hours. I didn't want to be touched. I couldn't shut out background noise. I didn't talk until I was about 4 years old. I screamed. I hummed. But as I grew up, I improved.
