Escaping Quotes - Page 7

• A terrible cold world of ice and death had replaced the living world we had always known. Outside there was only the deadly cold, the frozen vacuum of an ice age, life reduced to mineral crystals. [. . .] I drove at great speed, as if escaping, pretending we could escape. Although I knew there was no escape from the ice, from the ever-diminishing remnant of time that encapsuled us.

• A hat is a shameless flatterer, calling attention to an escaping curl, a tawny braid, a sprinkling of freckles over a pert nose, directing the eye to what is most unique about a face. Its curves emphasize a shining pair of eyes, a lofty forehead; its deep brim accentuates the pale tint of a cheek, creates an aura of prettiness, suggests a mystery that awakens curiosity in the onlooker.

• Pensemos en la presión para "pasar" mintiendo sobre la propia edad, esa tentación familiar de falsificar una condición del propio nacimiento o identidad y fingir formar parte de un grupo más favorecido. Los negros de piel clara inventaron el término "pasar", los judíos que escapaban del antisemitismo perfeccionaron el arte, y el armario sexual continúa el castigo, pero fingir una edad más joven es probablemente la forma más fomentada de "pasar", con el apoyo menos organizado para "salir del armario" como el verdadero yo generacional de uno.

• Me refería a que la gente toma cualquier cosa que le levante el ánimo, ya sea alcohol o cocaína o las drogas que expanden la conciencia u opiáceos. En Irán, hasta hace poco, vendían opio en tiendas de forma legal, y tenían 3.000.000 de adictos en una población de 15.000.000 de habitantes. No creo que toda esa gente escapara de "complejos" ni nada por el estilo. Simplemente estaban expuestos a ella.
