• El TPA se define principalmente como una falta de empatía", dije. Yo también lo había buscado, hacía unos meses. La empatía es lo que permite a las personas interpretar las emociones, del mismo modo que los oídos interpretan los sonidos. Significa que no conecto emocionalmente con los demás. Me preguntaba si iba a elegir esa". ¿Cómo sabes eso?", dijo ella. 'Tienes quince años, por el amor de Dios. Deberías estar... no sé, persiguiendo chicas o jugando a videojuegos'. ¿Le estás diciendo a un sociópata que persiga chicas?

• Odio el misterio. Hubiera dejado que la identidad del sucesor del Comandante permaneciera en secreto, como he hecho durante quince años, pero la oportunidad de esta noche era demasiado tentadora. Con ocho Generales borrachos durmiendo la mona, podría haber bailado sobre sus camas sin despertarlos". - Valek

• Los psicólogos infantiles han demostrado que nuestras mentes se construyen a partir de miles de pequeñas interacciones durante los primeros años de vida. No somos sólo lo que nos enseñan. Es lo que experimentamos durante esos primeros años -una sonrisa aquí, un sonido chocante allá- lo que crea las vías y conexiones del cerebro. Sometemos a nuestros hijos a quince años de publicidad rápida, televisión pasiva y videojuegos sádicos, ¿y esperamos que surja una nueva generación de seres humanos tranquilos, compasivos y comprometidos?

• The Operative tried to implement the Purusey breathing technique, which has been proven effective at fooling polygraphs. There is no conclusive evidence as to whether it is effective at masking the internal lie detectors of fifteen-year-old boys.

• Pero los tres hermanos no nacieron ayer. Violet nació más de quince años antes de este miércoles en particular, y Klaus nació aproximadamente dos años después, e incluso Sunny, que acababa de dejar de ser un bebé, no nació ayer. Tú tampoco, a menos que me equivoque, en cuyo caso bienvenido al mundo, pequeño bebé, y enhorabuena por aprender a leer tan pronto.

• You are a white. The Imperial Wizard. Now, if you don't think this is logic you can burn me on the fiery cross. This is the logic: You have the choice of spending fifteen years married to a woman, a black woman or a white woman. Fifteen years kissing and hugging and sleeping real close on hot nights. With a black, black woman or a white, white woman. The white woman is Kate Smith. And the black woman is Lena Horne. So you're not concerned with black or white anymore, are you? You are concerned with how cute or how pretty. Then let's really get basic and persecute ugly people!

• I was fifteen when I first met Sherlock Holmes, fifteen years old with my nose in a book as I walked the Sussex Downs, and nearly stepped on him. In my defense I must say it was an engrossing book, and it was very rare to come across another person in that particular part of the world in that war year of 1915.

• ...estaba cansada de los hombres. Colgados en las puertas, demasiado cerca, con su olor a cerveza o a whisky de quince años. Hombres que no venían a urgencias contigo, hombres que se iban en Nochebuena. Hombres que cerraron de golpe las puertas de seguridad, que te hicieron amarlos y luego cambiaron de opinión.

• What did I really think fifteen years ago? A nonbeliever, I felt guilty in the midst of all those believers. And since it seemed to me that they were in the right, I decided to believe, as you might decide to take an aspirin: It can't hurt and you might get better.

• Veo el consumo de té como un destructor de la salud, un debilitador de la estructura, un engendrador de afeminamiento y pereza, un libertino de la juventud y fabricante de miseria para la vejez. Así hace ese progreso miserable hacia esa muerte que encuentra diez o quince años antes de lo que la habría encontrado si hubiera hecho que su mujer preparara cerveza en vez de té.

• Were it not for the mind change of Sai devotees the world would already have fallen into complete chaos. The deterioration of mind and man has been very rapid and abrupt, even precipitous during the last fifteen years. That the world is not in total destruction is due to the change of mind of Sai devotees and to Sai's grace.

• Fifteen years ago I knew I had to settle into being a mom and give them a normal life, which I never had. I was always traveling. I had tours. I wanted my kids to settle down, and we kind of did it together.... It was a bumpy transition. There was no director telling me what to do. No script, but I really enjoyed it. I even became president of the PTA. Doing the laundry was a meditative experience. Now, when I start to get nervous and stressed, I go in and start to fold towels.

• Now, for the moment, we are safe. The only kind of international violence that worries most people in the developed countries is terrorism: from imminent heart attack to a bad case of hangnail in fifteen years flat. We are very lucky people--but we need to use the time we have been granted wisely, because total war is only sleeping. All the major states are still organized for war, and all that is needed for the world to slide back into a nuclear confrontation is a twist of the kaleidoscope that shifts international relations into a new pattern of rival alliances.

• When, about fifteen years ago, I walked into Arshile's studio for the first time, the atmosphere was so beautiful that I got a little dizzy and when I came to, I was bright enough to take the hint immediately. If the bookkeepers think it necessary to make sure of where things and people came from, well then, I came from 36 Union Square. I am glad that it is about impossible to get away from his powerful influence.

• Ahora soy... como cualquiera con una fuerte preferencia por la caña de mosca, totalmente indiferente al tamaño de los peces que pesco en comparación con otros pescadores. Así que cuando un chico de quince años llamado Fred, pescando en pleno verano con un horrible gusano de plástico, pescó un pez de cuatro libras y media. . . Naturalmente, no sentí más resentimiento que el deseo de romperle los pulgares.

• Jeremy Popkin's collection of first-person narratives of the Haitian Revolution is an extremely valuable work, accessible, sound and intelligent. I only wish such a book had been available fifteen years ago when I was in the early stages of researching my series of novels. Popkin has been deft and tactful in stitching together these excerpts, and as a result, he manages to tell a complete version of the Revolution almost entirely in the words of the people who experienced it-this book engaged me deeply.

• The way I lived, I grew up in a time where people would take your shoes, they'll take your jacket, they'll take your cheese without a gun. So people would jump on you - this was like fourteen, fifteen years old. So it always taught me that you gotta have your crew, in some ways you gotta move, don't put your self in harm's way, and definitely if you're a street dude and want any kind off credibility, don't put yourself under the mercy of anybody else, or you'll be at their mercy; they can do what they want to do to you.

• How can you develop a self-concept linked to your untapped potential? First, you can decide on the kind of life you would like to lead in ten or fifteen years. This will give you a standard for making decisions about current activities and will reduce the inclination to compare yourself unfavorably to others. Learn to ask, "How would I handle this situation were I the person I hope to become?" And then take action in line with your vision.
