“No sabía lo que le pasaba, Minerva lo dominaba y atraía como imán, lo supo desde que la recepcionista la señaló y él la miró. A pesar de su furia cuando llegó a su habitación la noche anterior, deseaba tenerla, por coraje, por orgullo, por premio y por placer, la deseaba tanto que tiró todo a su paso, a ella misma deseaba tirar sobre la cama, arrancarle la ropa, besarla hasta hacerla perder el conocimiento evitando que respirara, deseaba tenerla desnuda y hacer con ella lo que diera la gana, deseaba someterla a él y hacerle sentir lo que era un verdadero hombre, deseaba hacerla suya y marcarle un sello en su piel, su miembro le dolía pero más por la excitación, imaginar todo lo que quería hacer con ella hizo que se metiera al baño para bajarse el coraje y el ardor del fuego en la ducha, pero antes tenía una cita con su amigo que exigía liberarse, se maldijo porque había pasado mucho tiempo desde la última vez que lo había hecho y se odió porque en tiempo record, Minerva había logrado que gimiera en gruñidos su nombre al llegar a su orgasmo.”

“No sabía qué era el carácter, ni qué grado de coacción era necesario para que se rompiera y se adaptara a una nueva forma que no se parecía en nada a la persona que la «Familia», los «Amigos íntimos» e incluso los «No tan íntimos» imaginaban haber conocido. Era posible incluso que el «carácter» y la «personalidad», su prima más superficial, fueran sutilezas, meros detalles, caprichos ornamentales de la buena salud, entretenimientos opcionales, como los bolos a los que los enfermos no se podían permitir jugar.”

“No," said Blackwell, "she won't, because that would be a violation of the very personal terms I will have established in our conversation. That's the key word here, Laney, 'personal.' 'Up close, and.' We will not meet, we will not carve out this deep and meaningful and bloody unforgettable episode of mutual face-time as representatives of our respective faceless corporations. Not at all. It's one-on-one time for your Kathy and I, and it may well prove to be as intimate, and I may hope enlightening, as any she ever had. Because I will bring a new certainty into her life, and we all need certainties. They help build character. And I will leave your Kathy with the deepest possible conviction that if she crosses me, she will die-but only after she's been made to desire that, absolutely." And Black-well's smile, then, giving Laney the full benefit of his dental prosthesis, was hideous. "Now how was it exactly you were supposed to contact her, to give her your decision?”

“No," said Jacob, "I don't mean to say that this life is just a party, any kind of party. It is a wedding, the most important kind of party, full of joy, fear, hope, and ignorance. And at this party there are enough places and parts for everyone, and if no one can play every part, yet everyone can come to the party, everyone can come to the wedding feast, and anyone who does not know that he is at a wedding feast just does not see what is in front of him. He might as well be dead if he does not know that the world is a wedding.”

“No," said the old lady. "It's the story of my life. You see, the quality of any advice anybody has to offer has to be judged against the quality of life they actually lead. Now, as you look through this document you'll see that I've underlined all the major decisions I ever made to make them stand out. They're all indexed and cross-referenced. See? All I can suggest is that if you take the decisions that are exactly opposite to the sort of decisions that I've taken, then maybe you won't finish up at the end of your life"-she paused, and filled her lungs for a good shout-"in a smelly old cave like this!”

“No," said the old man, deep under. "I don't remember anyone winning anywhere any time. War's never a winning things, Charlie. You just lose all the time, and the one who loses last asks for terms. All I remember is a lot of losing and sadness and nothing good but the end of it. The end of it, Charles, that was a winning all to itself, having nothing to do with guns. But I don't suppose that's the kind of victory you boys mean for me to talk on.”

“No sane person wants hell to exist. No sane person wants evil to exist. But hell is just evil eternalized. If there is evil and if there is eternity, there can be hell. If it is intellectually dishonest to disbelieve in evil just because it is shocking and uncomfortable, it is the same with hell. Reality has hard corners, surprises, and terrible dangers in it. We desperately need a true road map, not nice feelings, if we are to get home. It is true, as people often say, that "hell just feels unreal, impossible." Yes. So does Auschwitz. So does Calvary.”

“No sane person, I hope, would accuse me of saying that every Distributist must drink beer; especially if he could brew his own cider or found claret better for his health. But I do most emphatically scorn and scout the vulgar refinement that regards beer as something unseemly and humiliating. And I would shout the name of beer a hundred times a day, to shock all the snobs who have so shameful a sense of shame.”
