“Ask any fan, and she'll tell you there's something satisfyingly linear about baseball: three strikes, three outs. Four bases, nine innings. A lineup, for chrissake-you don't need to be an etymologist to see the meaning in that. But at the same time as that steady progression of three up, three down, then the next, then the next, it's going around and around, cycling through the order, running around the bases. Things get parabolic. There's the arc of up and down through the organization, from Single-A Carolina to the big time in Culver City, the tight arc of an infield-fly out and the majestic one of a game-winning homer.”

“Most men's minds are so constituted that they have to think by means of examples ; if you do not supply these, they will supply them for themselves, and if you leave it wholly to them, they will do it badly. On the other hand, if you start from familiar things, they are very quick to make the necessary generalizations. In a sense they are making such generalizations constantly; whenever they recognize the thing before them as a chair or a lamp-post, they are leaping from the particular to the general by a process of implicit classification.”

“Metaphor: «Entre escudos de malvivir, hizo al sayo su mal vestir» Answer: La cita sugiere que el antagonista, aunque ha acumulado riqueza y poder a través de actos sin escrúpulos, sigue siendo un ser vil y corrupto. Su "mal vestir" es un reflejo de su alma, manchada por la avaricia y el engaño, mostrando que, a pesar del oro que ha obtenido, no ha logrado escapar de la miseria moral que define su existencia.”

“父親從鯽魚的嘴裡拔出釣鉤，將鯽魚丟進桶裡。好大的一條鯽魚。 「你看，魚從水裡撈出來以後，就不再翻騰了吧？」 「有不是這樣的魚吧？」 父親又把釣竿甩進江裡，一尾鯽魚在乾水桶裡掙扎著。 「沒有，魚如果沒有水，魚鰓就會不停開闔，翻騰一陣子之後死掉。我在蓋水庫的時候，有時要竪起棟梁，將好水抽進隧道裡，唯有這樣，才能澆灌水泥。來不及逃走的魚都會死在水底，其他一起作業的同事高興極了，紛紛抓魚回去煮湯。即便如此，數量之多也吃不完，最後就腐爛了。因為腐爛，泛出了臭味，真是噁心啊！吃下去的東西好像都要吐出來了。我想說的就是，你不要成為一條魚，要成為青蛙，在水裡能游泳，出來以後也能跳躍⋯⋯聽懂了嗎？」”
