“A movie is made for an audience and a film is made for both the audience and the film-makers. I think that The Game is a movie and I think Fight Club's a film. I think that Fight Club is more than the sum of its parts, whereas Panic Room is the sum of its parts. I didn't look at Panic Room and think, "Wow, this is gonna set the world on fire". These are footnote movies, guilty pleasure movies. Thrillers. Woman-trapped-in-a-house movies. They're not particularly important.”

“A moça ficou noiva do primo — foi há tanto tempo. Casamento, depois de festa de igreja, era a maior festa, na cidade casmurra, de ferro e tédio. O noivo seguia para a casa da noiva, à frente de um cortejo. Cavalheiros e damas aos pares, de braço dado, em fila, subindo e descendo, descendo e subindo ruas ladeirentas. Meninos na retaguarda, é claro, naquele tempo criança não tinha vez. Solenidade de procissão, sem padre e cantoria. Janelas ficavam mais abertas para espiar. Só uma casa se mantinha rigorosamente alheia, como vazia. É que morava lá a antiga namorada do noivo – o gênio dos dois não combinava, tinham chegado a compromisso, logo desfeito. Murmurava-se que à passagem do cortejo em frente àquela casa, o noivo seria agravado. Não houve nada: silêncio, portas e janelas cerradas, apenas. E o cortejo seguia brilhante, levando o noivo filho de “coronel” fazendeiro, gente de muita circunstância, rumo à casa do doutor juiz, gente de igual altura. A casa era “o sobrado”, assim a chamavam por sua imponência de massa e requinte: escadaria de pedra em dois lanços, amplo frontispício abrindo em sacadas, sob a cimalha a estatueta de louça-da-china – espetáculo.”

“A much more radical conclusion . . . that, so far as I know, is shared by only a very few students of public choice [is]: that government employees or people who draw the bulk of their income from government by other means should be deprived of the vote . . . It is another example of the opening up of alternatives for investigation and the presentation of new conceivable policy options characteristic of public choice, rather than a policy that all its students favor.”

“A much-underrated and incredibly simple considering factor when it comes to choosing a partner is how much you love their company. Since my friends have started having babies and I've watched how they operate as couples, it's become even more apparent to me that the most important thing in a relationship is how well you work as a team. It's the hackneyed notion for a reason: a couple needs to be really, really good friends.”
