Cafes Quotes - Page 3

• Una chica entró en el café y se sentó sola en una mesa cerca de la ventana. Era muy guapa, con una cara fresca como una moneda recién acuñada, si es que acuñaban monedas en carne lisa con la piel refrescada por la lluvia, y el pelo negro como el ala de un cuervo y cortado de forma afilada y diagonal sobre la mejilla.

• Los australianos son snobs del café. La afluencia de inmigrantes italianos después de la II Guerra Mundial lo garantizó: probablemente conocimos la palabra "cappuccino" unos 20 años antes que en Estados Unidos. La cultura del café es muy importante para los australianos. Nos gusta trabajar duro, pero nos tomamos en serio nuestro tiempo libre.

• In Rome, I really wanted an Audrey Hepburn Roman Holiday experience, but the Trevi Fountain was crowded, there was a McDonald's at the base of the Spanish Steps, and the ruins smelled like cat pee because of all the strays. The same thing happened in Prague, where I'd been yearning for some of the bohemianism of The Unbearable Lightness of Being. But no, there were no fabulous artists, no guys who looked remotely like a young Daniel Day-Lewis. I saw this one mysterious-looking guy reading Sartre in a cafe, but then his cell phone rang and he started talking in aloud Texan twang.

• Percy se imaginó cómo sería: conseguir un apartamento en esta pequeña réplica de Roma, protegida por la legión y Terminus, el dios fronterizo del trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo.

• I have a group of cafes and coffee shops that I go to regularly. They usually have an area where I can plug in my computer and have a corner seat where I can do a couple hours of writing or whatever, even the noise of the surrounding people walking by. Those things are the things that stimulate me into writing.

• I had gone to no such place but to the smoke of cafes and nights when the room whirled and you needed to look at the wall to make it stop, nights in bed, drunk, when you knew that that was all there was, and the strange excitement of waking and not knowing who it was with you, and the world all unreal in the dark and so exciting that you must resume again unknowing and not caring in the night, sure that this was all and all and all and not caring.

• You have with you the book you were reading in the cafe, which you are eager to continue, so that you can then hand it on to her, to communicate again with her through the channel dug by others' words, which, as they are uttered by an alien voice, by the voice of that silent nobody made of ink and typographical spacing, can become yours and hers, a language, a code between the two of you, a means to exchange signals and recognize each other.

• The shops in High Street still have their metal grilles down, blank-eyed and sleeping. My name is scrawled across them all. I'm outside Ajay's newsagent's. I'm on the expensive shutters of the health food store. I'm massive on Handie's furniture shop, King's Chicken Joint and the Barbecue Cafe. I thread the pavement outside the bank and all the way to Mothercare. I've possessed the road and am a glistening circle at the roundabout.

Because honestly for the rest of the day it's just screens, screens, screens.

• Una de las cosas de las que me arrepiento es que nunca volveré a tener el placer de colarme en una cafetería, en cualquier cafetería que me apetezca, sentarme y sumergirme en mi mundo sin que nadie sepa lo que estoy haciendo y sin que nadie se preocupe por mí y siendo totalmente anónimo, eso fue fantástico

• La voz supersónica de Ella la siguió hasta Bleecker Street y luego se disolvió entre la ruidosa profusión de tiendas, cafés y restaurantes y la aglomeración de gente que hacían del West Village de Manhattan un lugar único en el mundo. En una sola manzana podías comprar estatuas de fertilidad procedentes de Tanzania, raras orquídeas amazónicas, una tuba de latón empeñada, donuts de Krispy Kreme o la mejor y más cara taza de café que jamás hubieras probado. Fueron los donuts, por cierto, lo que atrajo a Gaia.

• En Brasil, el café siempre se hace fresco y, salvo a la hora del desayuno, se bebe negro como el azabache en tazas casi llenas hasta el borde con el característico azúcar de café húmedo y suave del país, que se derrite cinco veces más rápido que nuestro granulado duro. Para el desayuno se utilizan tazas más grandes, y se llenan con nata hasta más de la mitad. Este café con leite no requiere tanto azúcar como el café preto-negro.
