In deep sorrow and contrition, I cast myself at Thy feet: Have mercy on me.”

“Pardons for his friends on the Dossier.
FRIENDS.
A few days ago, he would've scoffed at the idea, because Robb Valerio didn't have FRIENDS. Or if he did, he had a use for them. But Ana was unlike anyone he'd ever met. She was kind, but kind in a way most people called BRASH. She was reckless, she followed her heart like it was a guiding star. She was insufferable, and yet she had suffered so much and it had never defined her.
Ana was different from anyone else in the entire cosmos, and a part of him wanted to be different, too.”

“Parece inevitable, tan fuerte es la necesidad de esta música; nada puede interrumpirla, nada que venga del tiempo donde está varado el mundo; cesará sola, por orden. Esta hermosa voz me gusta sobre todo, no por su amplitud ni su tristeza, sino porque es el acontecimiento que tantas notas han preparado desde lejos, muriendo para que ella nazca. Y sin embargo, estoy inquieto; bastaría tan poco para que el disco se detuviera.”
“Parece-me que existem sentimentos, fantasias... não sei como chamá-los... que sou incapaz de compreender. Quando o senhor diz que me ama, sei o que quer dizer, apenas como uma formação de palavras. Mas é só isso. O senhor não diz nada ao meu coração. Eu não dou a mínima importância ao que o senhor diz. Mas eu o avisei, não foi?”

“Parece obvio pero vale la pena recordarlo: antes de Beethoven, no había Beethoven. Su trabajo generó un concepto de música que antes no existía. En sus obras se ofrece el raro espectáculo de cuando una idea sale de la nada y deviene. Es el milagro de la «primera vez», cuando el enigma de un acontecimiento inédito provoca el surgir de un nombre. Hay mil cosas con las que, ahora, pega un término como nostalgia. Pero hay que imaginar la primera vez que apareció algo tan incurable que requirió la sutura de un nombre nuevo.”

“Parece que a recruta e o vietcong não eram tão maus como os dez minutos com o chefe Bernard. (…) Mas eu gostava do chefe Bernard e respeitava-o. Sabia-me bem trabalhar sob as suas ordens. E aquele gordo filho da mãe não me assustava. E ele sabia-o. Podia ter-me aberto a cabeça ao meio com um tacho que eu teria sorrido com os dentes partidos. Acho que ele via isso, e estragava-lhe o prazer todo.”

“Parece que el aire está lleno siempre de gritos… Y eso es culpa de las cosas, que están asfixiadas, doloridas, cargadas de tristeza. Por lo demás, no te forjes novelas: ni nuestras discusiones ni nuestros gritos tienen causa, ni conducen a un fin… ¿Qué te has empezado a imaginar de nosotros?”

“Parece que el error materialista fue en un comienzo inevitable. Como entre los sistemas galácticos no pudo descubrirse el trono divino, se concluyó que Dios no existía. Segundo error insalvable lo constituye el psicologismo: si después de todo Dios es algo, habrá de ser una ilusión motivada por la voluntad de poder o por la sexualidad reprimida. Tales argumentos no son nuevos. Cosas parecidas dijeron los misioneros cristianos que derrumbaron los ídolos paganos. Pero al paso que en su lucha contra los antiguos dioses los misioneros primitivos tenían conciencia de servir a un dios nuevo, los modernos iconoclastas no saben en nombre de quien destruyen los viejos valores.”

“Parece que en los estallidos de risa lo corpóreo hiciera prevalecer y afirmar su existencia, por encima de lo racional, y esa emergencia del cuerpo tan ostentosa ha concitado el rechazo, el desdén y la amonestación. Afirmo lo anterior a partir de haber observado la recurrencia de llamados hacia la contención: reír estrepitosamente siempre ha sido visto como signo de mala educación.”

“Parece que os velhos são capazes de ficar sentados um ao lado do outro sem
dizerem nada e ainda assim satisfeitos. Os jovens, irrequietos e impacientes, têm sempre que quebrar o silêncio. É um desperdício, porque o silêncio é puro. O silêncio é sagrado. Ele aproxima as pessoas, porque só quem se sente confortável ao lado de outra pessoa pode ficar sentado sem falar. Esse é o grande paradoxo.”

“Parent-Teacher Conference
At the parent-teacher conference,
my father made a scene.
He scared my fifth-grade teacher,
with his mask from Halloween.
She showed him all my science grades
and said she was concerned,
but he just stuck his tongue out
when my teacher’s back was turned.
He drew a monster on the board
and claimed it was her twin.
He even shook her soda,
which expolded on her chin.
My angry teacher crossed her arms
and said, “This meeting’s done!
I now see where he gets it from—
you act just like your son!”
