• Separate from the other unnamed billions who walk the earth, each of these little groups of three or five or twelve, brought together by the shuffle of chance, then welded by blood, sees in itself the whole of earth, or all that matters of it. What happens to one of the three or five or twelve will happen to them all. Whatever grief or triumph may touch any one will touch every one, as they are carried forward into the unknowable under the brilliant, terrifying sun which nourishes all.

• That party last night was awfully crazy I wish we taped it
  I danced my ass off and had this one girl completely naked
  Drink my beer and smoke my weed
  But my good friends is all I need

  Go out to eat then do it again
  Man I love college.

• Excellent Sheep dejará huella por tres razones. En primer lugar, el Sr. Deresiewicz pasó veinticuatro años en la Ivy League, se licenció en Columbia y enseñó durante una década en Yale. Dos, el autor es un delantero, por decirlo en términos futbolísticos. Es un escritor vívido, un crítico literario cuyos remates de cabeza tienden a aterrizar en la esquina posterior de la red. Tres, su acusación llega sobre ruedas: El libro del Sr. Deresiewicz está lleno de lo que él quiere más de la vida americana: rareza apasionada.
