• Things seem to be at a boiling point all the time. In fact, it has been that way my whole life. I find it interesting, and I like the fact that the emotions are in your face all the time. You always know where you stand. None of that "we don't have any racial problems here" attitude that you get, say, up north. All of this is rich fodder for a crime novelist.

• There's an inherent limit to the stress that any material can bear. Water has its boiling point, metals their melting points. The elements of the spirit behave the same way. Happiness can reach a pitch so great that any further happiness can't be felt. Pain, despair, humiliation, disgust, and fear are no different. Once the vessel is full, the world can't add to it.

• As you get older and as your situation changes, it becomes different. Yes, I have to provide for my family, so if there's a chance that I'm not going to be able to provide for my family, who is always number one, my kids are always number one, then yeah, maybe it's not the same. But like I said, everybody's boiling point is different and you get to that point differently and you're at peace with it.

• There are so many different kinds of people in America, with so many different boiling points, that we don't know how to fight with each other. The set piece that shapes and contains quarrels in homogeneous countries does not exist here. The Frenchman is an expert on the precise gradations of espèce de and the Italian knows exactly when to introduce the subject of his other's grave, but no American can be sure how or when another will react, so we zap each other with friendliness to neutralize potentially dangerous situations.

• I know how to choke. Given even a splinter-thin opportunity to let my side down and destroy my own score, I will seize it. Not only does ice water not run through my veins, but what runs there has a boiling point lower than body temperature.

• Certainly there's a huge appeal to the '60s, because it was such a big turning point to everyone. It was the era of change, the boiling point. People rebelled against things - the hippies, the feminists, the protesters. All these things just built up and boiled over. I think people can relate to that today.

• La crisis del empleo ha llegado a un punto de ebullición, y por eso vemos a los manifestantes de Occupy Wall Street clamar por unos Estados Unidos que nos permitan a todos alcanzar de nuevo el sueño americano, un sueño que dice que si trabajas duro y cumples las normas, puedes tener una buena vida y jubilarte con dignidad.

• Hay tres aspectos del agua que afectan a casi toda la cocina. La primera son los enlaces de hidrógeno, por lo que tiene un punto de ebullición increíblemente alto. Otra es que es una molécula polar, por lo que disuelve muchas cosas, y hay cosas que no se mezclan con ella. Y luego está la cantidad de energía que se necesita para calentar el agua.

• Las ollas a presión son relativamente baratas, están en todas las tiendas de cocina, probablemente tu abuela tenía una, pero mucha gente no. Una olla a presión es interesante porque, al presurizar el recipiente, se puede cocinar a una temperatura muy superior al punto de ebullición del agua, sin que deje de haber agua.

• In general I was a good kid. It usually took a lot to make me mad. But once I reached the boiling point, I lost all rational control. Totally without thinking, when my anger was aroused, I grabbed the nearest brick, rock, or stick to bash someone. It was as if I had no conscious will in the matter.
