• ¿No es cosa abominable que Dios, que alimenta tantas bocas, sea tenido en tan baja estima por mí, que no confío en él para que me alimente? Sí, que un florín, treinta y ocho céntimos, sea más apreciado que Dios, que derrama sus tesoros por doquier con rica profusión. Porque el mundo está lleno de Dios y de sus obras. Está presente en todas partes con sus dones y, sin embargo, no confiamos en él ni aceptamos su visita.

• So I asked him to play "Trav'lin' All Alone." That came closer than anything to the way I felt. And some part of it must have come across. The whole joint quieted down.

When I showed Mom the money for the rent and told her I had a regular job singing for eighteen dollars a week, she could hardly believe it.

• So, if people didn’t settle down to take up farming, why then did they embark on this entirely new way of living? We have no idea – or actually, we have lots of ideas, but we don’t know if any of them are right. According to Felipe Fernández-Armesto, at least thirty-eight theories have been put forward to explain why people took to living in communities: that they were driven to it by climatic change, or by a wish to stay near their dead, or by a powerful desire to brew and drink beer, which could only be indulged by staying in one place.

• Mrs. Zuppa was coming in from bingo just as I was leaving the building. "Looks like you're going to work," she said, leaning heavily on her cane. "What are you packin'?" "A thirty-eight." "I like a nine-millimeter myself." "A nine's good." "Easier to use a semiautomatic after you've had hip replacement and you walk with a cane," she said. One of those useful pieces of information to file away and resurrect when I turn eighty-three.
