“Henry's universe was modeled on the highball. It was a mixture in which half a pint of the fizziest philosophical and scientific ideas all but drowned a small jigger of immediate experience, most of it strictly sexual. Broken reeds are seldom good mixers. They're far too busy with their ideas, their sensuality and their psychosomatic complaints to be able to take an interest in other people - even their own wives and children. They live in a state of the most profound voluntary ignorance, not knowing anything about anybody, but abounding in preconceived opinions about everything.”

FENNYMAN: How?
HENSLOWE: I don't know, it's a mystery.”

Veja quanto você vai ganhar —Brandiu o contrato com o charuto na mesma mão — Esta cambada de espiões pode te pagar o mesmo? Fazer a América rir é um ato de patriotismo; ajuda a levantar o moral e a derrotar os comunas.

Bu aygıtın yaratıcı zenginliği tükendikten sonra, onun yerini, soyutlamayı kuramın en yüksek tepelerine tırmandırarak, 'burjuvazi'yi her şeye ve herkese karşı suçlu ilan eden kapsamlı bir çaba aldı: Mahkemede, işaret parmağını müphem bir suçluluk ufkuna doğrultmayan tek bir savunma düşünülemezdi.”

She knew that they were waiting like wolves just outside the circumscribing light, but she had long spells of power to keep them in hungry subjection there.”
