“Era difícil não comparar aquela região com a Mongólia. Assim como os pastores mongóis, as tribos de peles-vermelhas das Grandes Planícies tinham sido nómadas, vivendo em tendas e seguindo as manadas de búfalos para encontrar pastagens para os seus animais. A única diferença era que esse estilo de vida ainda existe na Mongólia enquanto que aqui os brancos tinham impedido os índios de o fazer.”

“Não havia qualquer dúvida que, se ele me tivesse batido diretamente na roda, eu teria sido projetado para debaixo do carro e atropelado. Poderia muito bem ter morrido. Tínhamos passado pelas mais terríveis condições rodoviárias do mundo e acabáramos por ter o nosso primeiro acidente numa estrada canadiana…”

“Louis found me in the rear parlor, the one more distant from the noises of the tourists in the Rue Royale, and with its windows open to the courtyard below. I was in fact looking out the window, looking for the cat again, though I didn't tell myself so, and observing how our bougainvillea had all but covered the high walls that enclosed us and kept us safe from the rest of the world. The wisteria was also fierce in its growth, even reaching out from the brick walls to the railing of the rear balcony and finding its way up to the roof. I could never quite take for granted the lush flowers of New Orleans. Indeed, they filled me with happiness whenever I stopped to really look at them and surrender to their fragrance, as though I still had the right to do so, as though I still were part of nature, as though I were still a mortal man.”

“You understand the fundamental principle of an icon, don’t you? “Inspired by God” “Not made by hands” “Supposedly directly imprinted upon the background material by God Himself” All Icons fundamentally were the work of God. A revelation in material form. And sometimes new icon could be made from another simply by pressing a new cloth to the original and a magic transfer would occur.”

“The study found widespread dissatisfaction with our town's public library, and, when considering the facts, it's easy to see why. The public computers for Internet use are outdated and slow. The lending period of fourteen days is not nearly long enough to read lengthier books, given the busy schedule of all our lives. The fatality rate is also well above the national average for public libraries.”
