Trotting Quotes

• One of my pleasantest memories as a kid growing up in New Orleans was how a bunch of us kids, playing, would suddenly hear sounds. It was like a phenomenon, like the Aurora Borealis -- maybe. The sounds of men playing would be so clear, but we wouldn't be sure where they were coming from. So we'd start trotting, start running-- 'It's this way! It's this way!' -- And sometimes, after running for a while, you'd find you'd be nowhere near that music. But that music could come on you any time like that. The city was full of the sounds of music.

• It's like one of those dreams you have when someone is chasing you. You're running as fast as you can, and someone's trotting behind you, just out of range, trying to grab onto you.

• Around the corner [ of the Carnegie Delicatessen] is the Russian Tea Room, which is now out of business. Which is awful. I remember going in there and seeing the ballerinas trotting in there like they were prize horses, with their hair, their sunglasses. Really amazing. They were all White Russians. This is where [Leon] Theremin met a lot of people, and where the KGB eventually picked him up.

• My audience is made up of two groups of people. The first group includes people whose roots are deep in the Christian faith, but for whom the traditional symbols, as traditionally understood, no longer make sense. The other audience is the audience that has left. I call them the Church Alumni Association, citizens of the secular city. They are a bit nostalgic about this faith of their childhood, but they aren't really interested in trotting it out or becoming involved with it again as it is presently organized.

• For instance, dragons are deeply revered by the Chinese. According to legend they have megapowers that include weather control and life creation. And they’re seen as kind, benevolent creatures. Funny. Every fairy tale I’d ever heard involving dragons starred daring knights trotting off to kill said dragons. Probably the real reason every time East meets West they get pissed off and throw tea in our faces.

• The bathroom door burst open, and Molly came trotting out. The left half of her body had been shaved almost down to the skin. The right half was as shaggy as before. John emerged after her, brushing a layer of dog hair off his clothes. John said, "Well, that's done... It was Molly's idea. She wants to look like two different dogs when she's coming and going. She thinks it will make it easier for her to steal food... That's one complicated dog, Dave. Have you started on the bomb?

• It is at a fair that man can be drunk forever on liquor, love, or fights; at a fair that your front pocket can be picked by a trotting horse looking for sugar, and your hind pocket by a thief looking for his fortune.

• I’m not like the rest of you; I never made any plans about what I’d do when I grew up; I never thought of being married, as you did. I couldn’t seem to imagine myself anything but stupid little Beth, trotting about at home, of no use anywhere but there. I never wanted to go away, and the hard part now is leaving you all. I’m not afraid, but it seems as if I should be homesick for you even in heaven.

• I used to have to downplay my sexuality because I wanted to be taken so seriously as a thespian and as an artist and as an actor, so I'd play crack heads and down trotting women and disguise myself, and I think as I've gotten older, I become more comfortable with who I really am and all parts of me knowing that my physical self doesn't diminish me in any way or my talent.

• What joy when the insouciant
  armadillo glances at us and doesn't
  quicken his trotting
  across the track into the palm brush.
  What is this joy? That no animal
  falters, but knows what it must do?

• Los jugadores con título parecían presentar una partida tras otra en las que se repetían sin cesar las mismas viejas secuencias de aperturas, memorizadas en quince, veinte o incluso más jugadas. Las verdaderas novedades eran cada vez más escasas y, a veces, estas novedades "de apertura" no aparecían hasta bien entrado el medio juego. (Un amigo maestro me mostró una vez con orgullo una novedad que había descubierto en la jugada veintisiete de una apertura de ajedrez muy trillada, y se dice que incluso en la década de 1950 Mikhail Botvinnik tenía memorizadas algunas aperturas más allá de la trigésima jugada).

• They held hands and knew that only the coffin would lie in the earth; the bubbly laughter and the press of fingers in the palm would stay aboveground forever. At first, as they stood there, their hands were clenched together. They relaxed slowly until during the walk back home their fingers were laced in as gentle a clasp as that of any two young girlfriends trotting up the road on a summer day wondering what happened to butterflies in the winter.

• There are moments as a teacher when I'm conscious that I'm trotting out the same exact phrase my professor used with me years ago. It's an eerie feeling, as if my old mentor is not just in the room, but in my shoes, using me as his mouthpiece.

Iba trotando y de repente empezó a llover y a nevar y tú dijiste que estaba granizando pero el granizo te golpea fuerte en la cabeza así que realmente estaba nevando y lloviendo y yo tenía tanta prisa por encontrarme contigo pero el tráfico estaba actuando exactamente igual que el cielo y de repente veo un titular ¡LANA TURNER SE HA COLAPSADO! no hay nieve en Hollywood no hay lluvia en California he estado en muchas fiestas y he actuado perfectamente vergonzosa pero nunca me he colapsado oh Lana Turner te amamos levántate

• La mazorca era el objeto central de mi vida. Mi padre era domador de caballos, primero de trote y paso, luego de tiro, luego de trabajo y finalmente de silla. Crecí rodeado de caballos, encima y debajo de ellos, les di de comer, recogí su estiércol, vacié los pesebres de mazorcas.

• And there is the girl. When I first see her and her dun mare from my vantage point on the cliff road, I am struck first not by the fact that she is a girl, but by the fact that she's in the ocean. it's the dreaded second day, the day people start to die, and no one will get close to the surf. But there she is, trotting up to the knee in the water. Fearless.
