• In comparative terms, there's no poverty in America by a long shot. Heritage Foundation political scientist Robert Rector has worked up figures showing that when the official U.S. measure of poverty was developed in 1963, a poor American family had an income twenty-nine times greater than the average per capita income in the rest of the world. An individual American could make more money than 93 percent of the other people on the planet and still be considered poor.

• As they embrace, she kisses him full on the mouth. And suddenly sticks her tongue right in. She has done this before, often. It’s one of those drunken long shots which just might, at least theoretically, once in ten thousand tries, throw a relationship right out of its orbit and send it whizzing off on another. Do women ever stop trying? No. But, because they never stop, they learn to be good losers.

  Christopher Isherwood

• Es una posibilidad remota, quizá un suicidio, pero hago lo único que se me ocurre. Me inclino y beso a Peeta en toda la boca. Todo su cuerpo empieza a estremecerse, pero mantengo mis labios pegados a los suyos hasta que tengo que salir a tomar aire. Mis manos suben por sus muñecas hasta agarrar las suyas. "No dejes que te aleje de mí". Peeta jadea con fuerza mientras lucha contra las pesadillas que asolan su cabeza. "No. No quiero. . ." Aprieto sus manos hasta el punto del dolor. "Quédate conmigo". Sus pupilas se contraen hasta convertirse en puntitos, se dilatan rápidamente y vuelven a algo parecido a la normalidad. "Siempre", murmura.

• Es todo lo que podía pedir, es perfecta, y ahora mismo, con esos grandes ojos verdes, esos labios de almohada y esos muslos de alabastro, la idea de hacer esto el resto de nuestras vidas no parece tan desalentadora. Ella es el último indulto. El aplazamiento de la ejecución. Ella me da esperanza. Pero los tiempos son difíciles para los soñadores. E incluso si mi sueño es simple -todo lo que quiero es que Ella esté enamorada de mí para siempre- sé que sigue siendo una posibilidad remota. La vida lo estropea todo.

• She threw the door open. The room seemed to be a sort of library, the walls lined with books. It was brightly lit, light streaming through a tall picture window. In the middle of the room stood Jace. He wasn't alone, though-not by a long shot. There was a dark-haired girl with him, a girl Clary had never seen before, and the two of them were locked together in a passionate embrace

• Los progresistas somos mayoría; ganamos el voto popular por goleada y Donald Trump y los republicanos del Congreso, que representan principalmente a viejos blancos ricos, son minoría.

• Telling the story with only a few shots, I love that style. It makes you feel like you're part of the action, part of the story. It reminds me of the theater, where one act is basically like one long shot. It almost makes you forget that you're seeing a movie.

• Ninety-eight percent of all the soy that's raised goes to livestock. So people make fun of vegetarians for being tofu eaters, but no one eats tofu like steak eaters, by a long shot. It's also funny that tofu is held up as what a vegetarian eats. I mean maybe I eat tofu once a month, but other than that, never. All of it, statistically speaking, is going to livestock.
