“Impurities are constantly and imperceptibly passing from the body, through the pores, and if the surface of the skin is not kept in a healthy condition, the system is burdened with impure matter....and if the garments worn are not frequently cleansed...the pores of the skin absorb again the waste matter thrown off. The impurities of the body... are taken back into the blood, and forced upon the internal organs.”

“Imran Khan, director de estrategia de la empresa, aseguró: «Snapchat es una empresa de cámaras, no es una empresa social». No sé si es por resentimiento, después de que Evan Spiegel rechazara las ofertas de adquisición de Zuckerberg, o si se trata de una respuesta justificada ante una amenaza, pero creo que lo primero que piensa Mark Zuckerberg en cuanto abre los ojos por la mañana, y lo último antes de cerrarlos por la noche, es: «Vamos a barrer a Snap Inc. de la faz de la Tierra». Y lo va a hacer. Zuckerberg sabe que las imágenes son la funcionalidad más potente de Facebook, y gran parte de ella reside en esa ala de su imperio social llamada Instagram. Tardamos sesenta mil veces menos en procesar imágenes que textos. Las imágenes tienen línea directa con el corazón. Y si Snapchat amenaza con llevarse un considerable pedazo del negocio, o incluso con encaramarse al liderato, esa amenaza hay que machacarla.”

“In the creation of the federal government, the states exercised the highest act of sovereignty, and they may, if they please, repeat the proof of their sovereignty, by its annihilation. But the union possesses no innate sovereignty, like the states; it was not self-constitute d; it is conventional, and of course subordinate to the sovereignties by which it was formed.”

“In "solid modernity" difference was tolerated as a temporary irritant only, expected to disappear tomorrow, when "those aliens" will become like us. "Living with strangers" was therefore not something to last and did not call for developing appropriate arts and skills. Now, however, it looks like that diasporic context of our living will not go away - it will be there forever, so learning how to live with strangers day in, day out without abandoning my own strangeness is high on the agenda.”

“In "The Myth of Sisyphus", his most important non-fiction work, Albert Camus suggested that if we believed what most people claim to be the purpose of life, we would feel compelled to commit suicide. If, however, we accept that life has no purpose we would be inclined to soldier on in a cussed, stoical manner like Sisyphus, endlessly pushing his rock up a hill only to see it roll down again.”

“In '32 we organized the Young Negroes' Cooperative League and had some degree of success in terms of establishing stores and certainly buying clubs in various sections of the country.

“In '94, I started writing a novel about an enormous terrorist act that destroyed the United States. The novel takes place twenty years after this destruction, with all the stuff that we're dealing with now - a dirty war, the disappeared, the concept of terrorism. Anyway, 9/11 happened some years into the process, and I was like, OK, I don't have a novel.”

“In 'Before and After,' I identify the sixteen strategies that we can use to make or break our habits. Some are quite familiar, such as 'Monitoring,' 'Scheduling,' and 'Convenience.' Some took me a lot of effort to identify, such as 'Thinking,' 'Identity,' and 'Clarity.'”

“In 'Labor Day Hurricane, 1935,' Douglas Trevor vividly recreates a historical event. While that is the only story in A THIN TEAR IN THE FABRIC OF SPACE in the historical past, many of the other stories juxtapose fact-both historical and scientific-with narration to an engaging effect, one that distinguishes the voice of this new writer.”
