Quote by Eduardo Galeano

“Rara vez el hincha dice: "hoy juega mi club". Más bien dice "Hoy jugamos nosotros". Bien sabe este jugador número doce que es él quien sopla los vientos de fervor que empujan la pelota cuando ella se duerme, como bien saben los otros once jugadores que jugar sin hinchada es como bailar sin música.”

“De la Peña és un cas de premonició col-lectiva eternament incomplerta. Tots els que l'hem defensat sabem que no tenim raó però ens neguem a admetre-ho. En sobretaules de sopars de Nadal especialment nostàlgics, quan arriba l'hora de les confessions o quan baixem els cartrons i els papers dels regals al contenidor, impulsats per l'excès d'alcohol i d'hidrats de carboni, ens veiem amb cor d'afirmar que De la Peña és el millor jugador que hem vist mai. És una afirmació tramposa i oportunista perquè tothom sap que hem admirat amb molta més devoció altres jugadors però, en els debats culers, sempre hi ha un moment en què arrisques més del compte i, com feia De la Peña, calcules malament les conseqüencies del que, en principi, semblava una genialitat o una bona idea. A prop del contenidor, aquesta afirmació pot derivar en el descobriment d'un altre delapeñista i aleshores les abraçades són d'una calidesa nadalenca.”

“Tenderness, that most alien and disconcerting of emotions, swelled and billowed in her. She picked up a cherry and stared down at the soft, bright-red fruit. “I love you.” The last time she'd declared her love he'd thrown it right back in her face. She waited uncertainly for his response. She didn't even have to wait a second. He leaned over and kissed her on the mouth. “I love you more.” - Gigi and Camden”

“I am willing to admit that Gerard Butler has single-handedly murdered the romantic comedy.” Gigi snickered. “Gerard Butler took the romantic comedy to an orgy, accidentally strangled it during an air game, panicked, and dumped its body in the woods.” I stared at her, gobsmacked. “That may be the funniest thing I've ever heard –” I spluttered. “How the hell do you even know what an air game is?” Gigi preened. “Just because you put the parental locks on HBO doesn’t mean I can’t get around them.”

“She touched him, placing her hand over his curled fingers, straightening them so that they were palm to palm, then she interlaced her fingers with his. Her fingertips were icy. A silent, dangerous thrill coursed through him. He wanted to pull her atop him and show her what awaited a foolish young woman who slipped into a man's bedroom in the dead of the night after having devoured him all evening with those dark, intense eyes of hers, setting his blood to simmer over three long hours.”
