“Com que vaig néixer el 1939 i vaig començar a tenir ús de raó durant la Segona Guerra Mundial, sabia que els règims establerts podien desaparèixer d'un dia per l'altre, i que els canvis podien ser fulgurants. La consideració d'«Això aquí no pot passar» no es podia donar mai per segura; a tot arreu podia passar-hi el que fos si se'n donaven les circumstàncies.”
“Com suas experiências, Marie Bonaparte também queria convencer Freud, “le grand exciseur” [o grande excisor], da impossibilidade de renunciar à fase clitoridiana. Freud considerava de fato que a evolução sexual normal da mulher passava pelo abandono do estádio clitoridiano do prazer em prol do estádio vaginal, de acordo com a função reprodutora da sexualidade. Marie tentou responder, em sua defesa, que sem o clitóris não há gozo, a vagina sozinha permanece muda. Então por que não tentar dar artificialmente à vagina insensível um pouco do ardor clitoridiano, sem esperar uma improvável maturação? Freud mal deu ouvidos. A intervenção cirúrgica, portanto, veio inutilmente redobrar o apagamento do prazer.”

“Com'è che appena apro bocca tutti quanti mi dicono che sono irlandesi e perché non andiamo a bere qualcosa insieme? Essere americano non basta. Bisogna essere sempre anche qualcos'altro, irlandesi-americani, tedesco americani, sicché viene da chiedersi come sarebbero andati avanti se qualcuno non avesse inventato il trattino (110).”

“Com’è il morale? In generale”.
“Il morale è... eccellente,” disse Nigel, deglutendo con forza. “È un periodo interessantissimo, naturalmente. La Gran Bretagna è a un punto di svolta e noi siamo proprio nell’epicentro... nell’epicentro del turbine che sta... trasfigurando la realtà politica, indirizzandola verso uno sviluppo... decisamente sismico in cui... le placche tettoniche della nostra storia nazionale si stanno spostando, con il risultato di provocare una trasformazione... e io, in qualità di testimone...”
All’improvviso si interruppe. Il suo sguardo si perse nel vuoto. Le spalle si afflosciarono. Per un minuto o due rimase a fissare la superficie schiumosa del suo caffè. Alla fine tornò ad alzare gli occhi e le sue successive parole furono le più sincere che Douglas avesse mai sentito uscire dalle sue labbra.
“Siamo fottuti.”
“Prego?”
“Siamo completamente e irrimediabilmente fottuti. È un caos. Corriamo di qua e di là come polli decapitati. Nessuno ha la più pallida idea di quello che sta facendo. Siamo... siamo fottuti.”
Rapidamente Doug tirò fuori il cellulare e cominciò a registrare.
“È ufficiale?” chiese.
“Che importa? Siamo fottuti, perciò che senso ha sapere se è ufficiale?”
“Che tipo di caos? Chi corre di qua e di là come un pollo decapitato?”
“Tutti. Nessuno escluso. Chi si aspettava un esito simile? Nessuno era pronto. Nessuno sa cosa sia la Brexit. Nessuno sa come attuarla. Un anno e mezzo fa tutti la chiamavano Brixit. Nessuno sa cosa voglia dire Brexit.”
“Pensavo che Brexit significasse Brexit.”
“Divertente. E come dovrebbe essere questa Brexit?”
“Una Brexit rossa, bianca e blu, come dice la May,” citò Doug e di nuovo si dispiacque per Nigel, così infelice. “Ma di sicuro ci saranno frotte di consiglieri... esperti?...”
“Esperti?” disse Nigel con amarezza. “Non crediamo più negli esperti. La catena di comando è semplicissima. Ciascuno riceve le sue direttive da Theresa, e Theresa le riceve dal ‘Daily Mail’. E anche da un paio di think tank così fanatici del libero scambio che non li lasceresti...”
“Questi think tank...” disse Doug incuriosito. “Non mi dirai che una di loro è l’Imperium Foundation, vero?”
“Mio Dio,” disse Nigel, la testa tra le mani. “Sono dappertutto... dappertutto. Sempre pronti a indire riunioni. A bombardarci di tabelle. Dimenticati della volontà del popolo. Sono questi i pazzi che hanno preso il potere.”
“Cameron avrebbe saputo fronteggiarli meglio, secondo te?”
“Cameron?” disse Nigel con una smorfia. “Un fesso di prima categoria! Un moccioso! Un coglione fatto e finito. Se ne sta nel suo capanno del cazzo a scrivere le sue memorie. Guarda che disastro si è lasciato alle spalle. Tutti pronti a pugnalarsi alle spalle. Gli stranieri vengono insultati per la strada. Aggrediti sull’autobus. Invitati a tornarsene da dove sono venuti. Se uno non riga dritto, ecco che subito diventa un traditore e un nemico del popolo. Cameron ha demolito questo paese, Doug. L’ha demolito ed è scappato.”

“Comandante Fidel Castro is a gifted communicator. He is a brilliant, brilliant mind. But the thing that struck me most about him was he was not a "nationalist."”
“Comandante Fidel Castro is the greatest revolutionary of the 20th Century, bar none.”
“Comandante Fidel Castro loves Cuba! But his love for humanity, if you'll pardon the expression, trumped his love for Cuba: He was universal; he was an internationalist, and he put that spirit in the hearts and minds of the Cuban people through the Cuban Revolution.”
“Comandante Fidel Castro sent his people there into Africa, in the Caribbean; they died right alongside of others who were seeking the blessing of justice and freedom and equity. What other man do you know who did such a thing?”
“Comb his Facebook page. See if he has a Twitter account. Follow up on every Google lead. I want to know what makes him tick, what makes him the man he is.”

“Combat forces of the United States, Great Britain, Australia, Poland, and other countries enforced the demands of the United Nations, ended the rule of Saddam Hussein - and the people of Iraq are free.”
“Combat is my profession and fighting was a great way to maintain a combat mindset while preparing to lead Marines in war.”
“Combat isn't where you might die -- though that does happen -- it's where you find out whether you get to keep on living. Don't underestimate the power of that revelation. Don't underestimate the things young men will wager in order to play that game one more time.”
“Combating climate change is absolutely critical to the future of our company,Green Cooler customers, consumers-and our world. I believe all of us need to take action now. PepsiCo has already taken actions in our operations and throughout our supply chain to 'future- proof' our company-all of which deliver real cost savings, mitigate risk, protect our license to operate, and create resilience in our supply chain.”
“Combating climate change requires collaboration with many levels of government.”
“Combating climate change requires government policy, and most conservatives hate the idea of more government regulation. Because they hate the prescription, they deny the diagnosis.”
“Combativeness was, I suppose, the dominant trait in my grandmother's nature. An aggressive churchgoer, she was quite without Christian feeling; the mercy of the Lord Jesus had never entered her heart. Her piety was an act of war against Protestant ascendancy. ...The teachings of the Church did not interest her, except as they were a rebuke to others.”
“Combattete le debolezze e lavorate per superarle.”
“Combattiamo per un'idea di futuro, però il nostro, di futuro, non lo consideriamo”

“Combien de gens se font abstraits pour para?tre profonds! La plupart des termes abstraits sont des ombres qui cachent des vides. How many people become abstract in order to appear profound! Most abstract terms are shadows that conceal a void.”
“Combien de personnes faut-il pour faire un livre? Combien d'êtres chacune de ces personnes contient-elle à son tour, combien de fantômes? Et si c'étaient les fantômes qui écrivaient? Quand aujourd'hui je dis "je", qu'est-ce qui parle?”

“Combien naquirent sur les sols boueux de nos campagnes, en plein sable, dans la tempête, sans eau et sans lumière ? Le voyage n’est-il donc pas pour tout le monde le même ?
Qu’importe. Le temps qui nous est accordé ne nous semblera infini que si l’amour s’en mêle. Et peut-être, de nos larmes dernières ayant troublé la poussière, reviendrons-nous, phosphorescents, de l’au-delà.
Une vie minuscule contre l’éternité.”

“Combination does not produce though mergers and combinations are still the accepted panacea. In Big business there appears to be increasing aridity, bureaucracy, and stultifying sacrifice of initiative and above all fear.”
“Combination is a soul of chess.”
“Combinations have always been the most intriguing aspect of Chess. The masters look for them, the public applauds them, the critics praise them. It is because combinations are possible that Chess is more than a lifeless mathematical exercise. They are the poetry of the game; they are to Chess what melody is to music. They represent the triumph of mind over matter”

“Combinations with a queen sacrifice are among the most striking and memorable.”
“Combinatorial analysis, in the trivial sense of manipulating binomial and multinomial coefficients, and formally expanding powers of infinite series by applications ad libitum and ad nauseamque of the multinomial theorem, represented the best that academic mathematics could do in the Germany of the late 18th century.”
“Combinatorialists and analysts always have different names for everything, in order to keep themselves from interacting.”
“Combinatorics is an honest subject. No adèles, no sigma-algebras. You count balls in a box, and you either have the right number or you haven't. You get the feeling that the result you have discovered is forever, because it's concrete. Other branches of mathematics are not so clear-cut. Functional analysis of infinite-dimensional spaces is never fully convincing; you don't get a feeling of having done an honest day's work. Don't get the wrong idea - combinatorics is not just putting balls into boxes. Counting finite sets can be a highbrow undertaking, with sophisticated techniques.”
“Combinatory play seems to be the essential feature in productive thought.”

“Combine perpetrators who have high self-esteem and victims who are helpless, and you have a recipe for the escalation of brutality. This brutality is not confined to brutes—sadists or psychopaths. It can be, and usually is, committed by ordinary individuals, people who have children and lovers, "civilized" people who enjoy music and food and making love and gossiping as much as anyone else.”
