Fluff Quotes - Page 2

• Any story worth telling relates to real life in some meaningful way. Scifi allows you to tell meaningful stories without seeming too preachy - it adds a metaphorical layer between the story and the real world. Scifi is dismissed as ungrounded fluff, but it's actually the opposite.

• Escribir un libro como Hueso de tigre y cuerno de rinoceronte es una empresa formidable. Hay que acumular miles de datos y no escatimar en detalles, por terribles que sean. Siempre es más fácil escribir un artículo de relleno y dejar a todo el mundo sonriendo. Pero entonces, los horrores de la caza furtiva continuarían incontestados... como las orugas de una carpa que consumen un manzanar, nuestra especie consume sin pensar a las demás de la tierra. En la actualidad, la esperanza más significativa para nuestro planeta puede ser el conocimiento, y Richard Ellis ha hecho un trabajo heroico al proporcionar una gran parte de él.

• Yo era la sombra del ala de cera muerta por el falso azur en el cristal de la ventana; yo era la mancha de pelusa cenicienta -y seguía viviendo, volando, en el cielo reflejado. Y desde dentro, también, me duplicaba a mí mismo, mi lámpara, una manzana en un plato: Sin tapar la noche, dejaba que el cristal oscuro colgara de todos los muebles sobre la hierba, y ¡qué delicia cuando una nevada cubría mi visión del césped y se extendía hasta hacer que la silla y la cama quedaran exactamente sobre la nieve, en esa tierra de cristal!

• Ven a nosotros y grazna y grazna. Alívianos de nuestras agitaciones Con tus colmillos tan afilados y brillantes Toma esta sangre que siempre ronronea. A través de nuestros huesos huecos fluye A cada pluma y pelusa. Calma el terrible y horrendo impulso que tan a menudo nos punza, Aquieta nuestros sueños, haz lentos nuestros pensamientos Deja que la tranquilidad inunde nuestras venas. Ven a nosotros y bebe hasta saciarte, para que podamos acabar con nuestros dolores. - Los búhos de San Egolio llamando a los murciélagos

• I wish I could close my eyes and be blown into dust and nothingness, feel all my thoughts disperse like dandelion fluff drifting off on the wind. But his hands keep pulling me back: into the alley, and Portland, and a world that has suddenly stopped making sense.

• Staring at her face, she began to fancy her outer layer had begun to melt away while she wasn't paying attention, and something -- some new skeleton -- was emerging from beneath the softness of her accustomed self. With a deep, visceral ache, she wished her true form might prove to be a sleek and shining one, like a stiletto blade slicing free of an ungainly sheath. Like a bird of prey losing its hatchling fluff to hunt in cold, magnificent skies. That she might become something glittering, something startling, something dangerous.

• How do you feel?” she asked, trying to fluff his pillow. “Other than terrible, I mean.” He moved his head slightly to the side. It seemed to be a sickly interpretation of a shrug. “Of course you’re feeling terrible,” she clarified, “but is there any change? More terrible? Less terrible?” He made no response. “The same amount of terrible?

• Hay veces en que uno no puede aceptar los hechos por miedo a destrozar su ser. Mientras escuchaba las noticias de Ian, toda la vida de Digit, desde mi primer encuentro con él cuando era una juguetona bolita de pelusa negra diez años antes, pasó por mi mente. A partir de ese momento, pasé a vivir dentro de una parte aislada de mí mismo.

• Lo que más me molestaba era el afeitado. No me gusta mucho afeitarme y tenía que afeitarme muy bien, las manos, la cabeza, el nacimiento del pelo, toda la pelusa de la cara, todo menos las cejas, para que se me pegara el brillo, la especie de esmalte que me ponían.

• Seventy per cent of the clothes you own should be meat and potatoes. Thirty per cent should be icing and fluff - that's colour, pattern, shine, accessories. Too many women get the proportions the other way round, then can't figure out why they can't get dressed.

• Old or new, the only sign I always try to rid my books of (usually with little success) is the price-sticker that malignant booksellers attach to the backs. These evil white scabs rip off with difficulty, leaving leprous wounds and traces of slime to which adhere the dust and fluff of ages, making me wish for a special gummy hell to which the inventor of these stickers would be condemned.

• It is raining DNA outside. On the bank of the Oxford canal at the bottom of my garden is a large willow tree, and it is pumping downy seeds into the air. ... spreading DNA whose coded characters spell out specific instructions for building willow trees that will shed a new generation of downy seeds. ... It is raining instructions out there; it's raining programs; it's raining tree-growing, fluff-spreading, algorithms. That is not a metaphor, it is the plain truth. It couldn't be any plainer if it were raining floppy discs.
