“Nordwind Kennels was the almost ten-acre wooded vacation resort for pets in the Bedford Hills estate area where they served gourmet dog food in temperature-controlled kennels into which they piped classical music.

Може би тръпката на Рио е в това да прескачаш локви и хартиени боклуци, за да видиш зад стената празник на музиката и душата.”

“Por esse intrincado labirinto de ruas e bibocas é que vive uma grande parte da população da cidade, a cuja existência o governo fecha os olhos, embora lhe cobre atrozes impostos, empregados em obras inúteis e suntuárias noutros pontos do Rio de Janeiro. [...] O subúrbio é o refúgio dos infelizes. [...] O Rio de Janeiro, que tem, na fronte, na parte anterior, um tão lindo diadema de montanhas e árvores, não consegue fazê-lo coroa a cingi-lo todo em roda. A parte posterior, como se vê, não chega a ser um neobarbante que prenda dignamente o diadema que lhe cinge a testa olímpica...”
