Quote by Maureen Dowd

“McChrystal never should have been hired for this job given the outrageous cover-up he participated in after the friendly fire death of Pat Tillman. He was lucky to keep the job after his 'Seven Days in May' stunt in London last year when he openly lobbied and undercut the president on the surge. But with the latest sassing, and the continued Sisyphean nature of the surge he urged, McChrystal should offer his resignation. He should try subordination for a change.”

“Stavano giocando con il fuoco. Si sarebbero scottati entrambi, ma lei sapeva che rischiava di avere la peggio. Era troppo fragile, troppo insicura e troppo innamorata per non soffrire di un gioco stupido come quello che Ben stava facendo. «Hai detto che non mi avresti nemmeno sfiorato» sussurrò sostenendo il suo sguardo e negli occhi chiari di lui lesse un abisso di desiderio e passione che la spaventarono. Lui non distoglieva gli occhi da quelli di lei ma sorrise. Mosse la mano in modo che non scivolò fuori da quella di Sarah ma le loro dita si intrecciarono e fu lui a stringere. «A meno che sia tu a chiedermelo» sussurrò poi. «Non te lo sto chiedendo» disse Sarah con voce rotta. Era confusa ed eccitata. Non poteva negarlo a stessa, ma non intendeva mostrare il fianco a lui diventando facile preda. «Non ancora» disse di nuovo lui con voce impercettibile e lo sguardo incupito dal desiderio represso.”

“Gli uomini amano inventare mostri e mostruosità. Così hanno l'impressione di essere loro stessi meno mostruosi. Quando bevono come spugne, imbrogliano, rubano, picchiano le donne con le briglie, fanno morire di fame la vecchia nonna, colpiscono con la scure una volpe presa in trappola o riempiono di frecce l'ultimo unicorno rimasto sulla terra, amano pensare che più mostruosa di loro c'è sempre la Mora che s'intrufola nelle casupole all'alba. Allora si sentono in qualche modo il cuore più leggero. E trovano più facile vivere.”

“Una confessione in iscritto è sempre menzognera. Con ogni nostra parola toscana noi mentiamo! Se egli sapesse come raccontiamo con predilezione tutte le cose per le quali abbiamo pronta la frase e come evitiamo quelle che ci obbligherebbero di ricorrere al vocabolario! È proprio così che scegliamo dalla nostra vita gli episodi da notarsi. Si capisce come la nostra vita avrebbe tutt’altro aspetto se fosse detta nel nostro dialetto.”
