“Un rato é unha cousa que se move, unha cousa que vive nos sobrados e ten un corazón pequerrechiño e dous ollos de vidro sempre acesos. Unha cousa que vai furando as tebras, xurde correndo, pasa, fuxe, líscase. Un rato é unha cousa que está viva un intre só, despois non é nada, sombra nas sombras mestas dos buratos. A noite é un burato sen orelas pra os homes, tristes ratos sin acougo. Un home é unha cousa que cavila, cismando sempre, sempre amargurado, fuxindo de outras cousas que rebulen, revolvendo papeis, decote rebulindo, sempre con presas, atafegado sempre, camiña, chouta, avanta nos buratos, nos sobrados do mundo, nas estradas da vida, nas pedras, no vento, nas rúas, nos seos das mulleres. Un rato é unha cousa que se move. Escóitame Walt Disney ¿Onde estabas que os meus soños de pombas non te viron cando o meu corazón inda era neno e había carabeles nos meus ollos?”

“I’m not going to be specific, but I had some early sexual experiences that, as I got older, were really, really difficult to deal with. It wasn’t to do with anything that happened in my family or at home, it was these… different things that happened. So my mental health had come through the negotiation of sex as a teenager and a young man, and romantic relationships.”

“Both Calvin and Hobbes are sitting on a carpet, a "magic carpet." They're riding in the sky, among the clouds. CALVIN: Hey, let's fly into the city and buzz Dad's office. CALVIN: Ha! Won't he be surprised whenhe sees US out his 20th-floor window. HOBBES: What if he's mad that we took the hallway rug? CALVIN: What's to get mad about?" We wiped our feet first. HOBBES: Yeah, but all this city mileage may hurt the resale value.”
