Quote by Amy S. Foster

“No one could deny that his face matched the sexy timbre of his voice; he was strikingly beautiful, with shaggy black hair and piercing eyes. A little bit of his mouth always remained open, even when his lips were closed in a tiny, perfect diamond shape. He was two men: there was the one she saw in interviews- goofy, self-effacing, and gifted with the ability to make fun of himself and his profession, which put everyone at ease- and then there was the other Callum, the one on stage. Magnetic, dark, guarded, as if he was holding something back, as if it would simply be too much to give his purest and most authentic self to the audience.”

“From her father she had inherited a beautiful olive complexion and defined angular features; from her Irish mother she got a mass of fiery copper curls that hung down to the middle of her back. The combination was almost outrageously unusual, and Sylvie was sure that half the male population of Avening was in love with her. Molly's looks were so loud that she herself spoke only when she needed to. But Sylvie and Molly had known each other for so long that often times they didn't say anything.”

“They drove about half a mile until they found their site. They were old hats, having been camping together several times. Sylvie opened the cooler and pulled out some chicken breasts to roast on the grill over the fire. She had also brought veggies she had washed and precut at home, then packed in aluminum foil with oil and garlic. "God that smells good, Sylvie. I'm friggin' starving." Molly settled into the black butterfly chair she always brought along when she camped. "I know, right? Food tastes so much better out here. I guess it's probably because you have to work so hard for it, huh?" Sylvie poked the chicken to check its progress. "Yeah, that and the fact that you cook like MacGyver. You could, like, make a feast out of two blades of grass and a mushroom, whereas I can barely manage to open a bottle." Sylvie looked at her friend sideways, but said nothing to the contrary, they both knew the truth of it. "I haven't eaten yet today and I'm about to faint. I think instinctively my body knows I'll need my strength for tonight." "Oh yeah? You got plans I don't know about?" Molly said jokingly. "I plan on dancing my ass off," said Sylvie. "Tell me please we brought a camera. We did, right?" "Please. You know I'm half Asian, right? My Japanese ancestors would be horrified if I'd forgotten a camera." Molly exploded into laughter.”

“La infancia y la vejez se parecen. En ambos casos, por motivos diferentes, somos más bien inermes, todavía no participamos -o ya no participamos- en la vida activa y eso nos permite vivir con una sensibilidad sin esquemas, abierta. Es durante la adolescencia cuando empieza a formarse alrededor de nuestro cuerpo una coraza invisible. Se forma durante la adolescencia y sigue aumentando a lo largo de toda la edad adulta. El proceso de su crecimiento se parece un poco al de las perlas: cuanto más grande y profunda es la herida, más fuerte es la coraza que se le desarrolla alrededor.”

“Pensé que la insatisfacción humana había encontrado en Murray Ringold a su digno rival. Había sobrevivido a la insatisfacción. Eso es lo que queda cuando todo ha pasado, la tristeza disciplinada del estoicismo. Esto es el enfriamiento. Durante tanto tiempo es tal el calor, todo en la vida es tan intenso...y entonces, gradualmente, el calor se reduce, llega el enfriamiento y luego las cenizas. El hombre que me enseñó a boxear con un libro ha vuelto para demostrarme cómo puedes boxear con la vejez. Y es ésa una habilidad asombrosa y noble, pues nada te enseña menos sobre la vejez que haber llevado una vida vigorosa.”
