• There wasn't a funeral per se. I buried [Gilda Radner] 3 miles from her house that she had bought just shortly before we met. It was an old house, old colonial house, 1734. And there were just a few friends at the funeral, a nonsectarian cemetery. And an old friend of hers from junior high school or high school was the rabbi in town, and he performed the service.

• Tal vez, después de todo, el romance no llegó a la vida de uno con pompa y estruendo, como un alegre caballero cabalgando; tal vez se arrastró a nuestro lado como un viejo amigo a través de caminos silenciosos; tal vez se reveló en aparente prosa, hasta que algún repentino rayo de iluminación arrojado a través de sus páginas traicionó el ritmo y la música, tal vez... tal vez... el amor se desplegó naturalmente de una hermosa amistad, como una rosa de corazón dorado deslizándose de su verde vaina.

• Kumiko y yo sentimos algo el uno por el otro desde el principio. No era uno de esos sentimientos fuertes e impulsivos que pueden golpear a dos personas como una descarga eléctrica cuando se conocen por primera vez, sino algo más tranquilo y suave, como dos pequeñas luces que viajan en tándem a través de una vasta oscuridad y se acercan imperceptiblemente la una a la otra a medida que avanzan. A medida que nuestros encuentros se hacían más frecuentes, no tenía tanto la sensación de haber conocido a alguien nuevo como de haberme encontrado por casualidad con un viejo y querido amigo.

• When [Bill Clinton] was running for president. I'll never forget this one. He was running in New Hampshire. He was not doing well. And he suddenly, over a weekend, rushed back to Little Rock to execute a guy who had killed a cop, but in the process, the policeman had shot him in the head and he was out of it. He didn't know today from tomorrow, good, evil, whatever. His lawyer begged - his lawyer was an old friend of Clinton.

• We ran into lots of old friends. Friends from elementary school, junior high school, high school. Everyone had matured in their own way, and even as we stood face to face with them they seemed like people from dreams, sudden glimpses through the fences of our tangled memories. We smiled and waved, exchanged a few words, and then walked on in our separate directions.

• Ahora bien. Tal vez pienses que es arrogante, egocéntrico o ridículo que yo crea que Dios se molestó en quitar un tornillo barato de mi nuevo coche usado porque necesitaba mantenerme alejado durante unos días hasta el momento en que mi vieja amiga más me necesitaba para ayudar a su madre a mudarse a lo que viniera después. Puede que nada consciente ayudara a retrasarme para que estuviera allí cuando pudiera ser más útil. O quizá sí. Nunca lo sabré con certeza. Y de todos modos, en realidad no importa.

• Las puestas de sol se aman porque desaparecen. Las flores se aman porque se van. A los perros del campo y a los gatos de la cocina se les quiere porque pronto se irán. No son las únicas razones, pero en el corazón de las bienvenidas matutinas y las risas vespertinas está la promesa de la despedida. En el hocico gris de un perro viejo vemos el adiós. En el rostro cansado de un viejo amigo leemos largos viajes más allá del regreso.
