Wrapping Paper Quotes

• I set a personal record on Christmas. I got my shopping done three weeks ahead of time. I had all the presents back at my apartment, I was halfway through wrapping them, and I realized, 'Damn, I used the wrong wrapping paper.' The paper I used said, 'Happy Birthday.' I didn't want to waste it, so I just wrote 'Jesus' on it.

• Traveling provides occasions for shaking oneself up but not, as people believe, freedom. Indeed it involves a kind of reduction: deprived of one’s usual setting, the customary routine stripped away like so much wrapping paper, the traveller finds himself reduced to more modest proportions - but also more open to curiosity, to intuition, to love at first sight.

  Nicolas Bouvier

• Glen had a disability more disfiguring than a burn and more terrifying than cancer. Glen had been born on the day after Christmas. "My parents just combine my birthday with Christmas, that's all," he explained. But we knew this was a lie. Glen's parents just wrapped a couple of his Christmas presents in birthday-themed wrapping paper, stuck some candles in a supermarket cake, and had a dinner of Christmas leftovers.

• And leaning out the window, enjoying the day above the varying volume of the entire city, only one thought swells my soul – the intimate will to die, to finish, not to see more light over any city, not to think, not to feel, to leave behind like wrapping paper the course of the sun and the days, to rid myself, at the edge of the grand bed, as of a heavy suit, of the involuntary effort to be.

  Fernando Pessoa

• Desde el pasillo de la repostería hasta la cola de correos, pasando por la papelera del desván, las mujeres pueblan todos los rincones oscuros de la Navidad. ¿Quién se levantó a las 4 de la mañana para meter el jamón en el horno? Una mujer. . . ¿Quién envió la tarjeta de Navidad en la que describía el encarcelamiento de su hijo de dieciocho años como "un breve descanso antes de la universidad"? Una mujer. ¿Quién se acordó de incluir pilas en el fondo de cada calcetín? Una mujer. ¿Y quién se lleva el mérito de todo esto? Santa. Así es. Un hombre.
