Quote by Mario Vargas Llosa

“—Sus soldados abusan de nuestras mujeres —estruja su sombrero y pierde la voz el alcalde Paiva Runhuí—. Me perjudicaron a una cuñadita hace pocos meses y la semana pasada casi me perjudican a mi propia esposa. —Mis soldados no, los de la Nación —hace gestos apaciguadores el general Victoria—. Calma, calma señor alcalde. El Ejército lamenta muchísimo el percance de su cuñada y hará cuanto pueda para resarcirla. —¿Ahora le llaman percance al estupro? —se desconcierta el padre Beltrán—. Porque eso es lo que fue. —A Florcita la agarraron dos uniformados viniendo de la chacra y se la montaron en plena trocha —se come las uñas y brinca en el sitio el alcalde Teófilo Morey—. Con tan buena puntería que ahora está encinta, general.”

“Many a time, we live life without having access to the thoughts of how the hours of yesterday were spent. This comes to play because of lack of self-analysis and does not help in any way to create the excellence we claim to pursue.”

“The deep down question is: Where do you put your attention? (which is the only resource we really have in the end). Where do you invest your attention? And does that make life better for you, for people you care about, for your community, or for communities that may be distant from you but that you care about a lot for whatever reason?”

“There are at least two sets of Rules for Life, as far as I can tell. There are the ones that get you picked up by the cops or taken to the assistant principal's office if you break them: Don't leave school grounds, don't spray paint stop signs, don't drink, ,don't drop firecrackers in the toliets. But there's a different set that you really can't break if you don't want your life to suck relentlessly. At the head of the list, Rule Number One: Don't get noticed. As long as you stay exactly the person everyone thinks you're supposed to be, you're fine.”
