• Si quieres que ignoren a alguien, hazle una estatua de bronce de tamaño natural y ponla en medio de la ciudad. No importa lo genial que fueras, siempre hará falta un borracho sin gracia con dotes de escalador para que la gente se fije en ti.

• When I come to a new city is I combine: I say, well, it's like Barcelona and Edinburgh, though I can't imagine what that would be. But Toronto, the last few times I've been here, what always comes up is Chicago and West Berlin. It's a big, sprawling city beside a lake, of a certain age and a certain architectural complexity. But the high-end retail core looks more like West Germany than the Magnificent Mile. Yonge Street is like K-Damm. There's an excess of surface marble and bronze: it's Germanic and as pretentious as pretentious can be.

• I had a dream about riding a black cat, and then the next day I was at this antique mart, and I found this little devil riding a black cat - an Austrian bronze, tiny little thing. It was super tiny. And it was kind of like, "Oh my God, my dream came true." Except it was a devil, of course. Not me.

• Sadly, a prize for peace is a rarity in this world. Most nations have monuments or memorials to war, bronze salutations to heroic battles, archways of triumph. But peace has no parade, no pantheon of victory.

• Putting up a statue to someone who tried to stop a war is not very, um, statuesque. Of course, if you had butchered five hundred of your own men out of arrogant carelessness, we'd be melting the bronze already.

• Mythologically speaking, if there's anything I hate worse than trios of old ladies, it's bulls. Last summer, I fought the Minotaur on top of Half-Blood Hill. This time what I saw up there was even worse: two bulls. And not just regular bulls - bronze ones the size of elephants. And even that wasn't bad enough. Naturally they had to breathe fire, too.

• Negro para cazar a través de la noche Para la muerte y el luto el color es blanco Oro para una novia en su vestido de novia Y rojo para llamar al encantamiento Seda blanca cuando nuestros cuerpos arden Estandartes azules cuando los perdidos regresan Llama para el nacimiento de un Nephilim Y para lavar nuestros pecados. Gris para el conocimiento mejor no contado Hueso para los que no envejecen El azafrán ilumina la marcha de la victoria Verde para reparar nuestros corazones rotos Plata para las torres demoníacas Y bronce para convocar poderes malvados -Rima infantil de Shadowhunter

• Así que Wesley Clark se presenta a presidente. Un tipo bastante asombroso. General de cuatro estrellas, primero de su clase en West Point, comandante supremo de la OTAN, vio combate en Vietnam, ganó la estrella de bronce, la estrella de plata, el corazón púrpura por ser herido en batalla. Mira, no soy un experto político, pero eso suena bastante bien al lado de atragantarse con un pretzel, caerse de un scooter y dejar caer al perro.

• After the keen still days of September, the October sun filled the world with mellow warmth...The maple tree in front of the doorstep burned like a gigantic red torch. The oaks along the roadway glowed yellow and bronze. The fields stretched like a carpet of jewels, emerald and topaz and garnet. Everywhere she walked the color shouted and sang around her...In October any wonderful unexpected thing might be possible.

• En seguida se levantó y se acercó a la vitrina ante la que estaba ella. Sus estantes de cristal estaban atestados de pequeños objetos rotos -utensilios domésticos, adornos y bagatelas personales difícilmente reconocibles- hechos de cristal, de arcilla, de bronce descolorido y de otras sustancias desdibujadas por el tiempo.

• I go dreaming into the future, where I see nothing, nothing. I have no plans, no idea, no project, and, what is worse, no ambition. Something – the eternal ‘what’s the use?’ – sets its bronze barrier across every avenue that I open up in the realm of hypothesis.

• We had a sunset of a very fine sort. The vast plain of the sea was marked off in bands of sharply-contrasted colors: great stretches of dark blue, others of purple, others of polished bronze; the billowy mountains showed all sorts of dainty browns and greens, blues and purples and blacks, and the rounded velvety backs of certain of them made one want to stroke them, as one would the sleek back of a cat.

• Others may fashion more smoothly images of bronze (I for one believe it), evoke living faces from marble, plead causes better, trace with a wand the wanderings of the heavens and foretell the rising of stars. But you, Roman, remember to rule the peoples with power (these will be your arts); impose the habit of peace, spare the vanquished and war down the proud!

• Señores, si alguna vez viene después de nosotros una generación tan débil y blanda de corazón que no comprenda nuestra tarea, entonces todo el nacionalsocialismo habrá sido en vano. Por el contrario, en mi opinión habría que enterrar las placas de bronce en las que consta que hemos tenido el valor de llevar a cabo esta gran obra tan necesaria.
