“Though most cultural observers hadn't noticed it yet, everything was now in place for "Hallelujah" to sweep through the pop landscape. It was a song that had multiple strong, emotional connections with millions of listeners. Its mood was both fixed and malleable, universal and specific. It was familiar enough to resonate, obscure enough to remain cool. Though its most celebrated performer was gone forever, its mysterious creator had come back to the spotlight just in time. After 2001, whether it signified an individual's solitude (human or monster or otherwise) or a population in mourning, "Hallelujah"—now far removed from Leonard Cohen's initial," rather joyous" intent—was established as the definitive representation of sadness for a new generation.”

“Lo que define nuestra identidad ya no es únicamente nuestro trabajo, sino cada vez más la forma en que pasamos las vacaciones. Antes, las vacaciones eran un periodo de descanso. Hoy en día son una oportunidad que nadie quiere desaprovechar para mostrarle al mundo su personalidad y su forma de vida. Los tiempos en que considerábamos las vacaciones un periodo de ociosidad y reposo han quedado atrás. Cuando salimos de viaje lo hacemos con el objetivo de vivir experiencias únicas y auténticas, y los demás, que buscan exactamente lo mismo, nos molestan, pues su mera presencia basta para que nuestra experiencia ya no sea única y auténtica.”

And I had to come home and live my life after being robbed of my child. It's as if I was an unwilling accomplice to the kidnapping of my own child. So you have to live with the trauma of losing your child and then you have to live with the trauma of knowing you didn't stop it. How do you do that?”
