“Della ricchezza non ci importa nulla.
Del potere non ci importa nulla.
Di voi ricchi potenti famosi signori dell’economia e della politica e della cultura, di tutti voi vincenti non c’importa nulla.
E state pur certi che non tenteremo di rubarvi il posto, non tenteremo di portarvi via il pane d’oro, state pur certi che delle vostre grandi cose non desideriamo nulla.
Perché sempre di più, e sempre più spesso, noi andiamo alla ricerca dei secondi, dei minuti, delle ore lente. Sempre di più desideriamo il vuoto, la leggerezza, la pace d’un soffio di vento che giunge da lontano e che va lontano.
A voi ricchi potenti famosi signori, a tutti voi, lasciamo volentieri questo mondo qui.
Noi ci prendiamo tutto il resto, noi ci prendiamo la vita.”

“Della sank down beside the creek, waiting for the flash of white fur that would herald Tidda's arrival. The first time she'd come across Tidda she'd been no more than a joey hardly big enough to be out of her mother's pouch. Perhaps because she was different, with her strange lack of color and red eyes, the mob had rejected her. Charity reckoned it was the sign of the devil, a punishment or a curse from the Darkinjung ancestral spirits. That was nothing but a load of rubbish. Tidda was more beautiful than most because of the strange trick natures had played upon her.”

“Della Street, Perry Mason’s confidential secretary, said, “A couple of lovebirds have strayed into the office without an appointment. They insist it’s a matter of life and death.”
“Everything is,” Mason said. “If you start with the idea of perpetuating life, you must accept the inevitable corollary of death—but I presume these people aren’t interested in my philosophical ideas.” “These people,”
Della Street announced, “are interested in each other, in the singing of the birds, the blue of the sky, the moonlight on water, the sound of the night wind in the trees.”
Mason laughed. “It’s infectious. You are getting positively romantic, poetic, and show evidence of having been exposed to a highly contagious disease . . . . Now, what the devil would two lovebirds want with the services of a lawyer who specializes in murder cases?”
“Della was my go all in. She was my winning hand. You can't play when you go all in and lose. I'm out." "No, you're not. This hand ain't over yet," Rush said.”

“Delle altre sorprese su quanto ognuno di noi poteva sopportare, ricordo solo che per tutto il tempo passato nel Lager non ci lavammo i denti e, nonostante la grave carenza di vitamine, le nostre gengive furono più sane di prima (anche di quando ci nutrivamo di cibi sanissimi). Oppure: per sei mesi portavamo la stessa camicia finché non la si riconosceva più, neppure con la migliore buona volontà. Non fu possibile lavarci, neppure sommariamente, per giorni interi, perché la tubatura dei bagni ea gelata, ma nonostante le ferite alle mani, sporche per i lavori di sterro, nessuno ebbe piaghe purulente (salvo quando si facevano sentire gli effetti dei geloni). E ancora: un uomo che prima si sveglia per il lieve rumore proveniente dalla stanza vicina e non poteva riaddormentarsi, qui dormiva accanto ad un compagno dal cui naso, a pochi centimetri di distanza dal suo orecchio, risuonava un potentissimo russare, e cadeva in un sonno profondo non appena si sdraiava. Comprendemmo presto quanto fosse vera la frase di Dostoevskij che definisce l'uomo come l'essere che si abitua a tutto. Qualcuno potrebbe chiederci se e fino a che punto è vero che l'uomo può abituarsi a tutto; la risposta è affermativa, ma non chiedete come...”

“DeLois lived up the block on 142nd Street and never had her hair done, and all the neighbourhood women sucked their teeth as she walked by. Her crispy hair twinkled in the summer sun as her big proud stomach moved her on down the block while I watched, not caring whether or not she was a poem.”

“Delores, the Wise Woman of Botany, told me while I was in Washington that every seven years, employees of my pay grade are entitled to a sabbatical, and I'm two years late in taking mine. She helped me fill out the form. I listed my purpose: "to study the birds of the southeastern United States with an emphasis on the marshlands of Florida."
Hugh Adamson sputtered an objection, but he couldn't do a thing. Apparently, the sabbatical is a long-standing Smithsonian policy that would actually take an Act of Congress to reverse. I didn't write on the form of my other intention: to freelance, get my name out there, and see whether Florida is where I belong.”
