• Los jóvenes matan a alguien por un puñado de monedas, luego se muestran despiadados, incluso despreocupados: oye, tío, cosas que pasan. Y sus padres atrapan al culpable: fue la ciudad, la policía, el sistema, la multitud, la música. Cualquiera menos él. Cualquiera menos yo.

• I had to get a driver's license and drive to St. Louis to find the punk-rock scene that was happening there. And there was a punk-rock scene. It was sweet. It was real. It was like everywhere else in the county. It was a handful of people who were feeling the same pull, and, of course, it was like the Island of Misfit Toys in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer [1964]. Just the freaks, the fags, the fat girls, the unbelievable eccentrics .

• Real no es lo que intentan decirte. El tiempo no lo es. Los adultos te martillean con todos estos marcadores, campanas, horarios, pausas para el café, para que creas que el tiempo es algo pequeño y mezquino, algo que raspa copo tras copo todo lo que amas hasta que no queda nada; para que no despegues y vueles, dando saltos mortales por remolinos de meses, rozando remolinos de segundos brillantes, derramando puñados de horas sobre tu cara respingona.

• El espía que surgió del frío fue la obra de una imaginación caprichosa llevada al límite por el asco político y la confusión personal. Cincuenta años después, no asocio el libro con nada que me haya sucedido, salvo por un encuentro sin palabras en el aeropuerto de Londres, cuando un militar de mediana edad vestido con una gabardina manchada arrojó un puñado de monedas extranjeras sobre la barra y, con un áspero acento irlandés, pidió todo el whisky escocés que podía comprar. En ese momento nació Alec Leamas. O eso me dice mi memoria, que no siempre es una fuente fiable.

• Blind impatience is equally evident in the fruit section. Our ancestors might have delighted in the occasional handful of berries found on the underside of a bush in late summer, viewing it as a sign of the unexpected munificence of a divine creator, but we became modern when we gave up on awaiting sporadic gifts from above and sought to render any pleasing sensation immediately and repeatedly available.

• Rick Bass es uno de los cada vez menos numerosos escritores de ficción estadounidenses que siguen celebrando la importancia del lugar, el mundo natural y la lucha de unas pocas almas valientes por vivir y trabajar respetuosamente en lo que queda de nuestra naturaleza salvaje occidental... The Lives of Rocks es su libro más lírico y poderoso hasta la fecha... una obra maestra.

• 

  Hablan de guerra de clases, pero la realidad es que ha habido guerra de clases durante los últimos treinta años. Es un puñado de multimillonarios enfrentándose a toda la clase media y trabajadora de este país. Y el resultado es que ahora tenemos en América la distribución más desigual de la riqueza y los ingresos de cualquier país importante de la Tierra y la peor desigualdad en América desde 1928. ¿Cómo puede alguien defender que las 400 personas más ricas de este país posean más riqueza que la mitad más pobre de Estados Unidos, 150 millones de personas?

• Sometimes, people mistake fire in the belly for too much pepperoni pizza the night before. They make a great speech and people come up to them and tell them, "You could be president." And the next thing you know, they're running, not because they really ought to or have any shot at doing it, but because they have, you know, a handful of people that tell them they are looking at the next president.

• No exculpo a los demócratas de su falta de compromiso para hacer frente a la pobreza. Pero hoy en día somos testigos del aumento de la brecha. Algo va mal cuando un puñado de personas tiene más de lo que nunca necesitará mientras millones de personas tienen menos de lo que siempre necesitarán.

• Organizational Development: The New Christian Right of the 1980s was dominated by paper organizations that were essentially the mailing lists of a handful of politicized ministers. Such organizations were better at issuing press releases than doing the hard work of political mobilization and advocacy. By contrast, the movement of the 1990s has generated a plethora of grass-roots organizations that allocate meaningful responsibilities to individual members. The goal is to create an army of grassroots activists who know how to stimulate political change.

• This was how you wound up in the Inquisition. When you stopped being able to see any difference between Light Ones and Dark Ones. When for you, people weren't even a flock of sheep, but just a handful of spiders in a glass jar. When you stopped believing in the future, and all you wanted to do was preserve the status quo. For yourself. For those few individuals who were still dear to you.

• Female directors really do need to support each other. Too many times I've been led to believe that my direct competition was other women, as if there can be only a handful of successful female filmmakers a year. That conversation, that perception, needs to change. Women are the people who have helped me make films I love, and I want to be that kind of strength to other women.
