“Caminhar, quando se está triste, até que os sapatos incomodem, é uma daquelas iniciativas que a levam à força para fora de você, no mundo; que freiam a espiral dos pensamentos e fazem você se sentir antes de tudo livre, depois exausta. Dois antídotos para tristeza, não infalíveis, mas úteis, são o sentimento da liberdade e o da exaustão; a tristeza, para se sustentar e durar, requer espaços fechados, sufocantes, e energia. Como os vampiros, ela também teme a luz do sol.”

“Caminhei por entre as árvores gigantescas, a sentir o peso da minha pequenez. Por momentos senti-me aliviada; se o mundo era tão grande, não devia importar o que uma pessoa tão pequena como eu sentia, podia simplesmente deixar-me ir, largar tudo.”

“Camino a tu tumba, aún mantendrás la boca abierta para preguntar: "¿Qué es lo que he hecho?". Y serás enterrado así, con la boca abierta.

“Camino sin parar y rezo incesantemente la oración a Jesús, que para mí es la cosa más preciosa y dulce del mundo. A veces recorro setenta verste en un día y no siento ningún cansancio: sólo sé que he rezado. Cuando siento mucho frío repito con más intensidad mi oración y me siento aliviado. Cuando siento hambre, invoco con más fuerza el nombre de Jesús y me olvido de mis deseos de comer. Si me siento enfermo y noto que me duele la espalda o las piernas, me concentro en la oración a Jesús y el dolor desaparece. Cuando alguien me ofende, pienso solamente en la oración a Jesús, la cólera y la tristeza desaparecen, y lo olvido todo. A veces pienso que me he vuelto un poco extraño, no tengo preocupaciones, nada me causa pesar, nada de lo externo me atrae, me agrada estar solo y la única necesidad que tengo es la de orar continuamente. Cuando lo hago me lleno de gozo. ¡Sólo Dios sabe lo que está haciendo en mí!”

“Cammie's going to be mad she missed this," Macey said to fill the silence. "Excuse me?" Hale asked. "Nothing." She shook her head. "I just...I have a friend who really likes air vents. And dumbwaiter shafts. And laundry chutes. Of course, the last time I was in a laundry chute, Cammie and I fell about a dozen stories..." "well, that sounds like fun." "it was either that or get kidnapped by terrorists, so I guess we got of easy.”
“Cammie: I never knew there were this many stars. Zach: I can't see them. I just see you.”
“Camminando la linea d'orizzonte ti dice sempre che tu sei disperso in un punto qualsiasi sulla linea della terra, come le cose che si vedono in distanza. Bisogna cercare un altro punto con cui fare asse, e immaginare che ci si arriverà una volta o l'altra. Bisogna sempre riuscire a immaginare quello che c'è là fuori, altrimenti non si potrebbe fare un solo passo.”

“Camminare in gruppo era servito a vincere la durezza della montagna, ma la società moderna imponeva di correre in solitaria, non c'era tempo per aiutare i più deboli a spazzare le nevicate di difficoltà che ostruivano i loro sentieri, ognuno per sé.
Si era delegato il senso di appartenenza a un nucleo sociale; un'entità astratta come lo Stato avrebbe dovuto sopperire ai rapporti umani che avevano da sempre caratterizzato la vita di paese: il trionfo dell'ipocrisia era il traguardo che si era raggiunto.”

“Camminavo e cantavo, perchè quando mi sento felice devo per forza canticchiare qualcosa, come del resto ogni uomo felice che non ha né amici né buoni conoscenti, e non sa con chi dividere la gioia di un attimo lieto.”

“Camminavo nella sera piena di lillà con tutti i muscoli indolenziti in mezzo alle luci della 27a Strada nella Welton nel quartiere negro di Denver, desiderando di essere un negro, sentendo che quanto di meglio il mondo di bianchi ci aveva offerto non conteneva abbastanza estasi per me, e neppure abbastanza vita, gioia, entusiasmo, oscurità, musica, né notte sufficiente. Mi fermai a una piccola baracca dove un uomo vendeva peperoni rossi caldi in cartocci di carta; ne comprai un po’ e li mangiai, passeggiando per le buie strade misteriose. Desiderai di essere un messicano di Denver, o persino un povero giapponese stremato dal lavoro, tutto fuorché quel che così tristemente ero, un ‘uomo bianco’ disilluso.”

“Cammino tra le strade che mi conoscono dai tempi del liceo. Quando perdevo l'autobus e andavo da una fermata all'altra per guadagnare tempo e non stare impalata ad aspettare.
Al posto degli incroci adesso ci sono rotonde, i marciapiedi si sono allargati per far posto a piste ciclabili, gli alberi sono cresciuti e fanno più ombra. Le loro radici si sono fatte strada sotto al cemento e devo stare attenta a non inciampare.
Ma dove sono le mie radici? Sono qui, sono in California davanti a quell'albero enorme che vado sempre ad ammirare?
No, le radici sono sotto i miei piedi, come diceva la mia insegnante di yoga. Sono ovunque io le porti.”

“Camp taste turns its back on the good-bad axis of ordinary aesthetic judgment. Camp doesn't reverse things. It doesn't argue that the good is bad, or the bad is good. What it does is to offer for art, and life, a different - a supplementary - set of standards.”

“Campaign ads are often nothing more than political taffy. The ingredients- the facts gathered by researchers such as Alan and me- are mixed together and prepared for the machine. The media experts who create and produce the TV ads stretch and pull this concoction of information to its breaking point, and sometimes beyond. It's cut into thiry & sixty second spots and presented to voters for their viewing consumption.”

“Campaign ads are the backbone of American democracy if American democracy suffered a gigantic spinal injury.”
“Campaign analysts say that Dean has produced the most innovative web site in this year's presidential race. I particularly like today's blog, which consisted of the sentence 'I hate myself,' typed four billion times. In Dean's case, this may be the first instance where the actually entity represented by the web site has crashed more often than the site did.”

“Campaign finance and ethics reform only works if it curtails all special interest groups equally and does not carve out any exceptions to benefit one party or another. 'Pay to play' reform was passed to limit the influence of big spending contractors over the public officials from whom they are trying to obtain work.”
“Campaign manager Eli Gold played by Alan Cumming on "The Good Wife" describing an old maxim in politics, don't commit to a decision before you have to. And that rule appears to have worked brilliantly for Democratic candidate front-runner Hillary Clinton, who has avoided taking a position on the president's trade agenda and has remained out of the ugly public spat with the progressive wing of her party. She has also not taken a position on the Iranian - on the talks.”
“Campaign may invite a certain skepticism about democracy, but it will surely restore your faith in cinema verite.”
“Campaign promises are - by long democratic tradition - the least binding form of human commitment.”
“Campaign staffers develop the ability to sleep through anything.”
“Campaign to destigmatize so-called "mental illness" often take a wrong turning here. They try to demonstrate how suffers of some condition have made amazing contributions to the science or the arts. Trying to destigmatize the diagnosis of autism, for example, we read how Einstein and Newton would have received that diagnosis today, and yet made fabulous discoveries in the field of physics. Even if they are acknowledged to have been "different", their worth is still reckoned in terms of how their work has impacted on the world of others. However well-intentioned, such perspectives are hardly judicious, as they make an implicit equation between value and social utility. Taking this step is dangerous, as the moment that human life is defined in terms of utility, the door to stigmatization and segregation is opened. If someone was found to be not useful, what value, then, would their life have? This was in fact exactly the argument of the early-twentieth-century eugenicists who complained for the extermination of the mentally ill. Although no one would admit such aspirations today, we cannot ignore the resurfacing in recent years of a remarkably similar discourse, with its emphasis on social utility, hereditary and genetic vulnerability.”

“Campaigns and elections are not a game. They're not a game. They're about trying to change America. We're the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not be having Flint, Michigan, or African-American communities all over this country where schools are failing. Those are the issue we got to pay attention to and not at this as come kind of silly game. And that is the critique that bothers me. That's what bothers me about media coverage.”
“Campaigns and primaries can get ugly. There are always messy squabbles.”
