• ¿En qué crees? Creo que los últimos y los primeros sufren por igual. Pari passu. ¿Por igual? No es sólo en la oscuridad de la muerte que todas las almas son una sola alma. ¿De qué te arrepentirías? De nada. ¿De nada? De una cosa. Hablé con amargura de mi vida y dije que tomaría mi parte contra la calumnia del olvido y contra su monstruosa falta de rostro y que levantaría una piedra en el mismo vacío donde todos leyeran mi nombre. De esa vanidad me retracto todo.

  Cormac McCarthy

• The thread has snapped. No sound even to mark the breaking let alone the fall. That long anticipated disintegration, when the darkest angel of all, the horror beyond all horrors, sits at last upon my chest, permanently enfolding me in its great covering wings, black as ink, veined in Bees' purple. A creature without a voice. A voice without a name. As immortal as my life. Come here at long last to summon the wind.

• The mark of Cain is stamped upon our foreheads. Across the centuries, our brother Abel was lain in blood which we drew, and shed tears we caused by forgetting Thy love.

• What I like about The Sims is that I don't have a normal life at all, so I play this game where these people have these really boring, mundane lives. It's fun. My Sims family is called the Cholly family. I don't know why I picked that name; it's kind of random. The teenage daughter is my favourite, because I just had her go through this Goth phase. She's really kind of nerdy and she just became a concert violinist, which is pretty huge for the family. And she got into private school. But she started wearing black lipstick and she dyed her hair purple. It's pretty huge.

• Si un hombre inteligente, educado y sano empieza a quejarse de su suerte y a ir cuesta abajo, no le queda más remedio que seguir bajando hasta llegar al fondo: no hay esperanza para él. ¿De dónde puede venir mi salvación? ¿Cómo puedo salvarme? No puedo beber, porque me duele la cabeza. No puedo escribir mala poesía. No puedo rezar pidiendo fuerza ni ver nada elevado en la languidez de mi alma. La pereza es pereza y la debilidad debilidad. No encuentro otros nombres para ellas. Estoy perdido, estoy perdido; de eso no hay duda.
