“Buscando mi ejemplar de Nubosidad variable me di cuenta de que me lo había olvidado en casa. Tampoco lo echaría de menos, pues en él se hablaba de dos amigas, de una amistad. Y amistad, para mí, era una palabra difícil y triste. Seca. Vacía. Hueca. Con cierta crueldad.”

“Busco la perfección. Por eso es tan difícil.
–¿Un amor perfecto?
–¡No! No pido tanto. Lo que quiero es simple egoísmo. Un egoísmo perfecto. Por ejemplo: te digo que quiero un pastel de fresa, y entonces tú lo dejas todo y vas a comprármelo.
Vuelves jadeando y me lo ofreces. «Toma, Midori. Tu pastel de fresa», me dices. Y te suelto:
«¡Ya se me han quitado las ganas de comérmelo!». Y lo arrojo por la ventana. Eso es lo que yo quiero.
–No creo que eso sea el amor -le dije con semblante atónito.
–Sí tiene que ver. Pero tú no lo sabes -replicó Midori-. Para las chicas, a veces esto tiene una gran importancia.
–¿Arrojar pasteles de fresa por la ventana?
–Sí. Y yo quiero que mi novio me diga lo siguiente: «Ha sido culpa mía. Tendría que haber supuesto que se te quitarían las ganas de comer pastel de fresa. Soy un estúpido, un insensible. Iré a comprarte otra cosa para que me perdones. ¿Qué te apetece? ¿Mousse de chocolate? ¿Tarta de queso?».
–¿Y qué sucedería a continuación?
–Pues que yo a una persona que hiciera esto por mí la querría mucho.”

“Busco un camino que puede estar en cualquier parte
o en ninguna.
Me asomo a todas las ventanas que puedo
y no lo veo.
Yo no sé el color de este camino
pero voy caminando,
siempre voy caminando por todos los caminos
y por todas las rutas, pera ver si lo encuentro.
A veces me detengo en las veredas de las cloacas
para sentir cómo el barro correo de resacas.
Luego me doy cuenta que ese no es mi camino,
y sigo.
Entro a una Vía Appia de luz
pero ahí tampoco está el camino que yo busco.
Otras veces detengo a los romeros para preguntarles:
-Ey, ¿ustedes no saben cuál es el camino
que yo busco….hooo?
Y se quedan callados, y se van.
Yo busco un camino que puede estar en cualquier parte.”

“Buscábamos vida en otros planetas, pero en realidad no era necesario, no hay nada más tenebroso en el espacio que
aquello que encontramos en nuestro propio planeta.
Fuimos unos idiotas, la humanidad por fin pudo descender a las profundidades del océano y despertamos esa cosa.
No tardamos en arrepentirnos, no tardamos en pagar las consecuencias.”

“Buscás eso que llamas la armonía, pero la buscás justo ahí donde acabás de decir que no está, entre los amigos, la familia, en la ciudad...”

“Bush and bin Laden are really on the same side: the side of faith and violence against the side of reason and discussion. Both have implacable faith that they are right and the other is evil.”
“Bush and bin Laden are really on the same side: the side of faith and violence against the side of reason and discussion. Both have implacable faith that they are right and the other is evil. Each believes that when he dies he is going to heaven. Each believes that if he could kill the other, his path to paradise in the next world would be even swifter. The delusional "next world" is welcome to both of them. This world would be a much better place without either of them.”

“Bush and Cheney were not misled by flawed intelligence; they used the flawed intelligence to mislead.”

“Bush and the corporate kleptocrats have stomped on too many people and left too many people out of the system, and those people are now in rebellion. It's not just poor people they are holding down but the middle class, as well. I have a favorite bumper sticker I saw on a pickup truck last year in Austin. It said, "Where are we going? And what am I doing in this hand basket?"”
“Bush began helping Enron in the eighties.”
“Bush does not want to go down in history as the president who lost in Iraq. His strategy to the extent he has one is to hang tough and let whoever succeeds him take the fall.”

It's the same policies...immigration policies that may turn us into Europe, where hordes of Islamic madmen are raping, killing, pillaging, defecating in public fountains, harassing private citizens, elderly people - that's what's coming.”
“Bush explained his fundamental concept to me, that freedom is not an American invention, but rather a gift from God to all people.”

If the gentleman is persuaded that what we are contemplating is an act of war, and by extension an act of patriotism, then we will find some very good people to work for us. By contrast, if we hire a thug, then eventually we will be compelled to kill the thug in one way or another because eventually we would be blackmailed by him.”

“Bush had expertise in one thing: How to run a Presidential campaign. He understands campaigns and Presidential politics. He has no interest or disposition or I think probably - he's not stupid, but he's not bright, he's not a rocket scientist - he isn't interested in policy.”
“Bush has done more to create passions for what they call terror than any other Administration in this nation's history. I get rather afraid when the most powerful man in the world talks to, and gets answers back from, God.”
“Bush has legitimized a huge expansion of the welfare state, liberalizing immigration, and using force for democratization abroad. All the next Democratic president has to do to finish Bush's hard work is to raise taxes to pay for it all.”
“Bush has not read enough books to have a developed moral sense. The fewer books you read, the easier it is to become fundamental. In some ways my antiwar stand here is also a stand on anti-literacy. Someone should get G.W. into a reading program, get him to join a book club. Have him read Hamlet, King Lear.”
“Bush has said something new. He said, "If I will be president again, I will be a man of peace and serenity." May the Lord curse the liars, wherever they may be.”
“Bush humble foreign policy was hijacked into nation-building.”
“Bush invited his constituency to be blind to the world's real problems, and leftists often do the opposite, gazing so fixedly at those problems that they cannot see beyond them. Thus it is that the world often seems divided between false hope and gratuitous despair. Despair demands less of us, it's more predictable, and in a sad way safer. Authentic hope requires clarity--seeing the troubles in this world--and imagination, seeing what might lie beyond these situations that are perhaps not inevitable and immutable.”

“Bush is actually encouraging the spread of nuclear weapons because the one thing I do know is if Iran did have nuclear weapons they wouldn't be threatening them.”
“Bush is almost always clear when he's speaking cruelly. For example, when the subject is the punitive infliction of great pain, there is no problem with his syntax, grammar, or vocabulary, even if he happens to be lying. ... On the other hand, our president is extraordinarily tongue-tied when he's trying, off the cuff, to sound a note of idealism, magnanimity or -- especially -- compassion.”

“Bush may be a strong leader in the war on terrorism, but on budget deficits he is missing-in-action.”
“Bush men are understated in just about every way—their words, their affection, their need for things. They don’t need much of anything. They’re understated except when it comes to hard work and duty. Their resilience and determination to get out into the paddocks every day, to an extent, keeps the cemetery at bay. Being outside, in the elements, adds substantial weight to their life force.”

“Bush people didn't like him, and they never liked him. They didn't like him because they don't like democracy. They like you to have an election, but they like you to elect the people they want you to elect.”
