“Composition is a side issue. Its role in my selection of photographs is a negative one at best. By which I mean that the fascination of a photograph is not in its eccentric composition but in what it has to say: its information content.

You told me anyway, even though I didn’t want to know. A stupid drunken fling while you were visiting Toby in Austin. Months ago. And the thing I hate the most is knowing how much hinges on my reaction, how your unburdening can only lead to me being burdened. If I lose it now, I will lose you, too. I know that. I hate it.
You wait for my response.”

“Compound actions on shared state, such as incrementing a hit counter (read-modify-write) or lazy initialization (check-then-act), must be made atomic to avoid race conditions. Holding a lock for the entire duration of a compound action can make that compound action atomic. However, just wrapping the compound action with a synchronized block is not sufficient; if synchronization is used to coordinate access to a variable, it is needed everywhere that variable is accessed. Further, when using locks to coordinate access to a variable, the same lock must be used wherever that variable is accessed.”

“Compra tu rebaño y recorre el mundo hasta aprender que nuestro castillo es el más importante y que nuestras mujeres son las más bellas.
Y lo bendijo. En los ojos del padre él leyó también el deseo de recorrer el mundo. Un deseo que aún persistía, a pesar de las decenas de años que había intentado sepultarlo con agua, comida y el mismo lugar para dormir todas las noches.”

“Compraba las colinas con baluartes, con el pecho de las palomas, con el anca de las terneras. Comparaba las flores con el esmalte, el césped a las alfombras turcas adelgazadas por el uso. Los árboles eran brujas decrépitas, las ovejas peñas grises. Cada en cosa, efecto, era otra cosa.”

“Compreendera então, julgo, a natureza da minha situação. A solidão de um é amenizada pela solidão de outro, e deste modo, mesmo na miséria, existe uma espécie de partilha, de comunhão, a que não se pode dar o nome de alegria mas algo como um encolher de ombros. O estudante franzino fora durante os meus primeiros meses de isolamento esse encolher de ombros, a minha resignação perante a brutalidade daquilo que me acontecera. Que ele tivesse alguém e eu não perturbava-me, colocava um entrave à nossa amizade, um ponto final no nosso monólogo. De uma certa maneira que não sei explicar senão com palavras incoerentes, até então tinha sido como se eu tivesse dado um passo ao lado que me tivesse feito sair do mundo, um pequeno passo discreto e silencioso de retirada. Após essa noite, o mundo notou a minha falta e deu também ele um passo ao lado, mas um passo do mundo é muito maior do que um passo dos nossos, e num certo sentido eu fiquei atrás das coisas, deslocado.”
