“Minka y yo pertenecíamos a credos distintos. Sin embargo, nuestra amistad me enseñó a no fijarme en las diferencias que hay entre la gente. Me gustaba jugar con mis amigos, pero prefería estar sola. La historia del piloto al que su avión deja tirado y que conoce a un niño príncipe de otro mundo, me hacía pensar que había algo más grande escondido detrás de lo que yo podía ver.”

“Minnesota is a state of public-spirited and polite people, where you can get a good cappucino and eat Thai food and find any book you want and yet live on a quiet tree-lined street with a backyard and send your kids to public school. When a state this good hits the jackpot, it can only be an inspiration to everybody.”

“Minnesotans who bought scenic art usually avoided winter scenes. Hannah didn't find that surprising. Minnesota winters were long. Why would they want to buy a painting that would constantly remind them of the bone-chilling cold, the heavy snow that had to be shoveled, and the necessity of dressing up in survival gear to do nothing more than take out the garbage?”

“Minoru and Yoko spent many evenings at video arcades. They looked over players' shoulders until it made young kids nervous. "What the fuck's your problem, mister?" one kid in a Kiss T-shirt barked at Minoru. Arakawa asked him, "Would you like a job?" He watched kids stand in front of the machines, transfixed, their hands melded to controllers, their bony arms like umbilical cords joining human and machine. He asked the kids questions about what made a game good. Arakawa realized that the most successful games had something the players couldn't articulate. The words used to describe them were those usually reserved to describe forms of intimacy between people. It was as if the players and the game itself somehow merged.”

“Minsan may ibang dahilan Kaya mo nasasabi yung Salitang pagod kana. Siguro Isa sa mga rason ay ang malaking pag kakaiba ng ugali, sa kung anong trip, sa estado ng buhay, sa pananalita, sa mga galawan, sa pinapanuod, sa kinakain,??? . Ang dagok na kinasasangkotan mo ay hindi dahilan Para sumuko! ang problema at pagsubok ay kakambal na ng ating buhay hindi mo maiiwasan yun, palagan mo at yun ang naaayon, desisyon mo kung ano ang makakabuti sa bawat pagtawid mo sa problema, dun ka matututo. lawakan ang pangunawa, ang magpapabago satin upang maging mabuting tao..”

“Minstrelsy had virtually nothing to do with the way black people really were; it was a purely white construction. Black performers who wanted to work in minstrelsy were run off the stage or forced to blacken their black faces. The form worked literally as, and only as, a black façade for whites: whites in blackface. The black mask permitted whites to say illegal, unorthodox, seditious, and sexually illicit things in public. In short, it was a kind of public pornography, the main theme of which was sexual rebellion, sexual license, poverty, and criminality. In short, all of the fears and ambivalences whites had that were otherwise hidden from public discourse could be articulated through the mouth of a black who was understood to be already outside the law and therefore serviceable. In this fashion, the black mask permitted freedom of speech and created a place for public, national dialogue. For whites that is. On the other hand, the mask hid more ligence, and most importantly, it hid the true causes of social conflict by transferring that conflict to a black population.”
