• Gandalf: Confound it all, Samwise Gamgee. Have you been eavesdropping? Sam: I ain't been droppin' no eaves sir, honest. I was just cutting the grass under the window there, if you'll follow me. Gandalf: A little late for trimming the verge, don't you think? Sam: I heard raised voices. Gandalf: What did you hear? Speak. Sam: N-nothing important. That is, I heard a good deal about a ring, and a Dark Lord, and something about the end of the world, but... Please, Mr. Gandalf, sir, don't hurt me. Don't turn me into anything... unnatural.

• Writing fiction is a solitary occupation but not really a lonely one. The writer's head is mobbed with characters, images and language, making the creative process something like eavesdropping at a party for which you've had the fun of drawing up the guest list. Loneliness usually doesn't set in until the work is finished, and all the partygoers and their imagined universe have disappeared.

• Los delitos relacionados con las drogas ... pueden considerarse los prototipos de los delitos sin víctimas en la actualidad. La naturaleza privada de la venta y el consumo de estas drogas ha llevado a la policía a recurrir a métodos de detección y vigilancia que se inmiscuyen en nuestra intimidad, como el registro ilegal, las escuchas y las trampas. De hecho, el éxito de la persecución de estos casos requiere a menudo que la policía infrinja las protecciones constitucionales que salvaguardan la intimidad de las personas.
