• Respeto enormemente las gracias sociales. Cómo pasar la comida. No grites de una habitación a otra. No pases por una puerta cerrada sin llamar. Abrir las puertas a las señoras.

No es algo abstracto. Es un lenguaje compartido de expectativas.

  Jack Nicholson

• Una historia de amor no trata de los que perdieron el corazón, sino de los que encuentran a ese huraño habitante que, cuando se tropieza con él, significa que el cuerpo no puede engañar a nadie, no puede engañar a nada: ni a la sabiduría del sueño ni al hábito de las gracias sociales.
