• Moses does not encounter the living God at the mall. He finds Him (or is found by Him) somewhere out in the deserts of Sinai, a long way from the comforts of Egypt... Where did the great prophet Elijah go to recover his strength? To the wild. As did John the Baptist, and his cousin, Jesus, Who is led by the Spirit into the wilderness.

• A veces siento que estoy haciendo una conexión con un extraño, pero luego resulta que no. Por ejemplo, estaba en un centro comercial, y vi a una señora golpeando a su hijo. Así que me acerqué a ella, y le dije, "¡Sí, agárralo!" Se enfadó conmigo. Le dije: "Estoy de tu lado".

• After I began to make some money, my brain-damaged accountant put me in one business after another that went bad. The only one that panned out was a small bank, an old Scottish firm with London offices in Pall Mall. I was a director. We sold out to a larger bank. That was the only successful venture I've had, apart from acting.

• When we can build something like the Hubble telescope and fathom images of this vast cosmos of which we are a part, it really gives pause to wonder what and who we are within a larger framework than linear adventures at the shopping mall and taxes.

• Suppose you were a real estate investor with a 1/3 interest in the best apartment complex in town, the best mall, and the best office building. Would you feel like a poor, undiversified investor? No! But as soon as you get into stocks, people feel this way. Partly, people need to justify their fees.

• I won't deny the polemical elements in my work, but they are less in the service of attempting to reform human behavior than the delighted exercise of my rather malicious sense of humor - especially vis-a-vis the horrifying everyday environment we have produced for ourselves. These mall-scapes, burb-scapes, urban wildernesses, starchitect stunts, and other toxic contexts for our daily lives express about every human vice, stupidity, and blunder that it is possible for a society to make. It all leads, really, to a psychological place where only comedy or despair make sense.

• the pyramids were built for pharaohs on the happy theory that they could take their stuff with them. Versailles was built for kings on the theory that they should live surrounded by the finest stuff. The Mall of America is built on the premise that we should all be able to afford this stuff. It may be a shallow culture, but it's by-God democratic. Sneer if you dare; this is something new in world history.

• Además, ayer había visto un par de zapatos muy bonitos en el centro comercial y los quería para mí. No puedo describir la sensación de familiaridad inmediata que corrió entre nosotros. En cuanto los vi, sentí que ya eran míos. Sólo podía suponer que habíamos estado juntos en otra vida. Que eran mis zapatos cuando era una criada en la Gran Bretaña medieval o cuando era una princesa en el antiguo Egipto. O tal vez ellas eran la princesa y yo los zapatos. ¿Quién sabe? En cualquier caso, sabía que estábamos destinados a estar juntos.

• I don't know what I'm supposed to do now. I know other people have it a lot worse. I do know that, but it's crashing in anyway, and I just can't stop thinking that the little kid eating french fries with his mom in the shopping mall is going to grow up and my sister.

• El agente Jones cambió a la gran pantalla y a un vídeo granulado de MoMo sentado en su enorme escritorio, con un reloj Elvis giratorio haciendo tictac detrás de su cabeza cubierta de peluca. ¡Muerte a los cerdos capitalistas! ¡Muerte a vuestros centros comerciales con olor a bollo de canela! ¡Muerte a vuestras caminatas eléctricas, a las ventanillas automáticas de los coches y a las camisetas de Estoy con el Estúpido! La República de ChaCha nunca se doblegará ante vuestra corrupción de patatas fritas, coches de carretera, por favor, ¡oh, te gustaría un ketchup con eso! MoMo B. ChaCha os desafía a vosotros y a todo lo que representáis, y un día os derrumbaréis en el mar y nosotros recogeremos los pedazos y los convertiremos en arte de arena.

• En secundaria, mis amigos decidieron que era rara y no les gustaba mi pelo. Me dejaban y hablaban a mis espaldas, lo cual está bien, ya lo he superado. [Risas] Una vez las llamé y les dije: "Eh, ¿queréis ir al Berkshire Mall?". Todos me dieron excusas y dijeron que no. Así que fui al centro comercial con mi madre y, sin darme cuenta, nos encontramos con todos ellos. Juntos. De compras. Mi madre vio que estaba a punto de llorar y me dijo: "¿Sabes qué? Vamos al centro comercial King of Prussia", que era la meca.

• La idea de un atentado terrorista que ataque a seres humanos inocentes en un edificio, un centro comercial o un restaurante ya es bastante mala, pero la mente terrorista que mira a un avión de pasajeros y ve el combustible y la intensidad de la explosión, y ve los motores de los cohetes que lo llevarán al corazón de la destrucción como un misil de crucero, pero que no ve la humanidad de una sola alma en ese avión es la escalofriante verdad a la que nos enfrentamos.

• Cuando se trata de vestir bien, la cultura estadounidense está tan autocomplacida que no sólo ha despreciado esta cortesía de la autopresentación, sino que ha convertido ese desprecio en una virtud.

• The "cumulative effects" of unbridled commercialism, however difficult to assess, constitute one key to the impact of growing up in the core of the world's marketing system. Minimally, it suggests unpreparedness for, and lack of interest in, the world that exists outside the shopping mall.
