“Crescer é perceber que estávamos enganados. Que tudo parte, morre e se quebra antes do tempo. Às vezes, cedo demais. O destino não se importa com justiça, apenas com a história que ele decidiu contar. Ninguém escapa do seu, e só resta a nós, meros mortais, rezar para seu Deus favorito pedindo sua graça e absolvição.”

“Crewing and being on film sets is kind of like being in the carnival, with carnie folks.”
“Crews that fight forest fires in Oregon are now so heavily Hispanic that in 2003, the Oregon Department of Forestry required that crew chiefs be bilingual. In 2006, the department started forcing out veterans. Jaime Pickering, who used to run a squad of 20 firefighters, says the rule means “job losses for Americans—the white people.”
Zita Wilensky, a 16-year veteran, was the only white employee of Miami-Dade County Domestic Violence Unit. Her co-workers made fun of her and called her gringa and Americana. Miss Wilensky says her boss gave her 60 days to learn Spanish, and fired her when she failed to do so.
It is increasingly common, therefore, for Americans to be penalized because they cannot speak Spanish, but employers who insist that workers speak English are guilty of discrimination. In 2001, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission forced a small Catholic college in San Antonio to pay $2.4 million to housekeepers who were required to speak English at work.
There are now about 45 million Hispanics in the country. What will the status of Spanish be when there are 130 million Hispanics, as the Census Bureau projects for 2050?
In 2000, President Bill Clinton decided that the prohibition against discrimination because of “national origin” in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 meant that if a foreigner cannot speak to a government agency in his own language he is a victim. Executive Order 13166 required all local governments that receive federal money (all of them, essentially) to translate official documents into any language spoken by at least 3,000 people in the area or 10 percent of the local population. It also required interpreters for non-English speakers.
In 2002, the Office of Management and Budget estimated that hospitals alone would spend $268 million every year implementing Executive Order 13166, and state departments of motor vehicles would spend $8.5 million. OMB estimated that communicating with food stamp recipients who don’t speak English would cost $25.2 million per year.”

“Creyó ver el mundo entero asolado por una epidemia espantosa y sin precedentes, que se había declarado en el fondo de Asia y se había abatido sobre Europa. Todos habían de perecer, excepto algunos elegidos. Triquinas microscópicas de una especie desconocida se
introducían en el organismo humano. Pero estos corpúsculos eran espíritus dotados de inteligencia y de voluntad. Las personas afectadas perdían la razón al punto. Sin embargo —cosa extraña—, jamás los hombres se habían creído tan inteligentes, tan seguros de estar en posesión de la verdad; nunca habían demostrado tal confianza en la infalibilidad de sus juicios, de sus teorías
científicas, de sus principios morales. Aldeas, ciudades, naciones enteras se contaminaban y perdían el juicio. De todos se apoderaba una mortal desazón y todos se sentían incapaces de comprenderse unos a otros. Cada uno creía ser el único poseedor de la verdad y miraban con piadoso desdén a sus semejantes. Todos, al contemplar a sus semejantes, se golpeaban el pecho, se retorcían las manos, lloraban… No se ponían de acuerdo sobre las sanciones que había que
imponer, sobre el bien y el mal, sobre a quién había que condenar y a quién absolver. Se reunían y formaban enormes ejércitos para lanzarse unos contra otros, pero, apenas llegaban al campo de batalla, las tropas se dividían, se rompían las formaciones y los hombres se estrangulaban y devoraban unos a otros.
En las ciudades, las trompetas resonaban durante todo el día. Todos los hombres eran llamados a las armas, pero ¿por quién y para qué? Nadie podía decirlo y el pánico se extendía por todas partes. Se abandonaban los oficios más sencillos, pues cada trabajador proponía sus ideas, sus reformas, y no era posible entenderse. Nadie trabajaba la tierra. Aquí y allá, los hombres formaban grupos y se comprometían a no disolverse, pero poco después olvidaban su compromiso y empezaban a acusarse entre sí, a contender, a
matarse. Los incendios y el hambre se extendían por toda la tierra. Los hombres y las cosas desaparecían. La epidemia seguía extendiéndose, devastando. En todo el mundo sólo tenían que salvarse algunos elegidos, unos cuantos hombres puros, destinados a formar una nueva raza humana, a renovar y purificar la vida humana. Pero nadie había visto a estos hombres, nadie
había oído sus palabras, ni siquiera el sonido de su voz.”

“Creí comprender lo que sintió san Pedro cuando sobrevivió a sus negaciones y recuperó su amistad con Cristo. Porque es verdad que, cuando el hombre empieza a confiar en sus propias capacidades, acaba de dar el primer paso en el camino hacia el fracaso final. Y la mayor gracia que Dios puede concederle es enviarle una prueba que no sea capaz de soportar con sus propias fuerzas… y sostenerlo con su gracia para que pueda perseverar hasta el final y salvarse.”

“Criança
Cabecinha boa de menino triste,
de menino triste que sofre sozinho,
que sozinho sofre, — e resiste,
Cabecinha boa de menino ausente,
que de sofrer tanto se fez pensativo,
e não sabe mais o que sente...
Cabecinha boa de menino mudo
que não teve nada, que não pediu nada,
pelo medo de perder tudo.
Cabecinha boa de menino santo
que do alto se inclina sobre a água do mundo
para mirar seu desencanto.
Para ver passar numa onda lenta e fria
a estrela perdida da felicidade
que soube que não possuiria.”

“Cricket tells a joke and turns to see if I'm laughing, if I think he's funny, and I want him to know that I do think he's funny, and I want him to know that I'm glad he's my friend, and I want him to know that he has the biggest heart of anyone I've ever known. And I want to press my palm against his chest to feel it beat, to prove he's really there.
But we cannot touch.”
