Citas de cosas raras

• Si te llevas un libro de viaje -había dicho Mo cuando metió el primero en su caja-, ocurre algo extraño: El libro empieza a recopilar tus recuerdos. Y para siempre, sólo tienes que abrir ese libro para volver al lugar donde lo leíste por primera vez. Todo vendrá a tu mente con las primeras palabras: las vistas que viste en aquel lugar, a qué olía, el helado que te comiste mientras lo leías... Sí, los libros son como el papel matamoscas: los recuerdos se aferran a la página impresa mejor que ninguna otra cosa.

• How many black holes have we been up close and personal with?" Kosta countered. "All sorts of odd things happen near the event horizon, from huge tidal forces to variations in time. Personally, I'm voting on it having to do with gravity, either a polarization of the fields themselves or else something related to the time differential." I didn't know physics had become a democracy," Hanan murmered.

• One of the odd things about middle age, he concluded, was the strange decisions a man discovers he's made by not really making them, like allowing friends to drift away through simple neglect.

• Bigotry is an odd thing. To be bigoted you have to be absolutely sure you are right and nothing makes that surety and righteousness like continence. Continence is the foe of heresy.

• We [on the left] have to be used to being a minority -- a small minority -- for some time to come. The odd thing is that the right, even when it is in power, likes to think of itself as an embattled minority against this elite that somehow runs everything. Whereas the left, even when it has no power at all, likes to imagine it somehow represents the majority of people. These are mirror-image delusions.

• I've probably done the odd thing. I've probably done more than I would have done and some things you don't say no to. You don't say no to working with "The Simpsons"... the greatest comedy show on television. You mustn't. Even though going to my bad judgment, I remember saying that all I can do is make this show slightly worse.

• Trevor se dio cuenta de que lo raro del inglés es que, por mucho que estropees las secuencias de palabras, entendiste, aún así, como Yoda, will be. Otros idiomas no funcionan así. ¿El francés? Dieu. Equivocas una sola le o la y una idea se vaporiza en una bocanada sónica. El inglés es flexible: puedes meterlo en un Cuisinart durante una hora, sacarlo, y el significado seguirá emergiendo.

• It must be an odd feeling to be thankful to nobody in particular. Christians in public institutions often see this odd thing happening on Thanksgiving Day. Everyone in the institution seems to be thankful 'in general.' It's very strange. It's a little like being married in general.

• Es curioso, pero cuando le cuentas a alguien los hechos reales de un cuento mítico se indigna no con quien se lo cuenta, sino contigo. No quieren que se alteren sus ideas. Creo que les provoca una vaga inquietud y les molesta. Así que lo rechazan y se niegan a pensar en ello. Si fueran simplemente indiferentes, sería natural y comprensible. Pero es mucho más fuerte que eso, mucho más positivo. Les molesta. Muy extraño, ¿verdad?
