Trajikomikti, çünkü Hristiyanlığın hamiliğine soyunmuş Katolik Isabel, 'İç çamaşırlarımı Granada düşene kadar değiştirmeyeceğim' demişti. Eh, kraliçeleri öyleyse ordunun geri kalanını siz düşünün. 1492'de Granada düştüğünde, Elhamra yakınlarında kimse bulunmak istemezdi heralde!”

“With so many past failures, you might think that environmental predictions would become more cautious. But not if it’s a religion. Remember, the nut on the sidewalk carrying the placard that predicts the end of the world doesn’t quit when the world doesn’t end on the day he expects. He just changes his placard, sets a new doomsday date, and goes back to walking the streets. One of the defining features of religion is that your beliefs are not troubled by facts, because they have nothing to do with facts.”

“In its conclusion, the report argued, "The wholesale condemnation of all comics magazines is one of the worst mistakes of some of the critics. The fact is both sides are right. The books are not all bad, as the more extreme critics say; nor are all good, as some of their publishers and defenders content. Like all other creative products, they must be judged individually. And that is what most critics, parents, and public officials have failed to do." Still, the city council found a third of published comics to be "offensive, objectionable, and undesirable," and, on February 2, 1949, it appointed a board to monitor news dealers' compliance with a blacklist of titles.”
