“Seres tan encariñados con su libertad como los seres humanos saben cómo volver a plantear casi cualquier tema. Si hay una cosa en la que realmente nos mostramos magistrales, es en empujar los límites, inventar estrategias, encontrar caminos para rodear las verdades más impías, tomar a la vida por las solapas y sacudirla sin piedad. Es cierto que la vida tiende a devolver los golpes, pero eso nunca ha bastado para deternos.”

“Sergeant, Kindly has probably not lain with a woman since the night of his coming of age, and that time was probably with a whore his father or uncle bought for the occasion. Women can tell these things. The man's repressed, in all the worst ways.' 'Oh, and what are the good ways of being repressed?' 'For a man? Well, decorum for one, as in not taking advantage of your rank. Listen closely now, if you dare. All real acts of chivalry are forms of repressed behavior.”

“Sergeant Pietro Oliva was a good Catholic. He liked to go into a church and cross himself, genuflect to the alter, and then settle down to a little prayer and contemplation, savouring the coolness, the heavy odours, the darkness, and the sensation of being soaked in the atmosphere of centuries’ worth of devotion that hung in the tenebrous and golden air of churches.”

“Sergeant Wright blinked back in disbelief. Rain drops began to fall, or so he thought. He wiped the wetness off his face, looked down to his hand and realised they weren’t raindrops. They were sprays of blood. “It took some time before Sergeant Wright could make out the glistening steels soaring and zigzagging in the air. His nose picked up the most disturbing scent, the smell of blood mingled with steel.”

“Sergei, what are you checking for?” I asked. At first I thought it was funny. He moved quickly and efficiently, making a clean sweep of each room with me trailing behind him. “I am checking to make sure we are alone,” he informed me. “You could be spy.” “Sergei, I’m not a spy. There is no one here in my apartment besides you and me. You know where I work.” I tried to assure him, but I didn’t know what else I could do to convince him otherwise.”

“Sergey and I founded Google because we're super optimisitc about the potential for technology to make the world a better place. Think about how many people are underserved by transportation today, like those with disabilities, and how self driving cars will transform their lives. Or the wasted time you sit in your car every day commuting to and from work. Or the deaths and injuries that could be avoided.”

“Sergey described the mighty furnaces and plants rising up from the steppes. “How far we’ve come. How much work there is still to do!” She would have to see it herself one day, with her own eyes. Florence reread the last line with a turbulent flip in her stomach. Was this an invitation?”

“Sergio ha descubierto para su mal, que bíblicamente hablando, el tiempo del trabajo es el tiempo de la condena. Se repite y multiplica de una manera muy diversa. El oficinista que espera ansioso la hora de salida de su oficina, o el fin de semana, o sus vacaciones anuales y más tarde su jubilación, y el preso que comparte una condena fija, comparten una misma espantosa paradoja: en nombre de la vida, quieren que el tiempo pase, sin percatarse de que así el tiempo que anhelan perder es el único tiempo suyo, el tiempo de su vida, un tiempo que nadie les podrá devolver. Un día lo descubren, y entonces ya no pueden dormir en paz.”

“Sergio Trujillos choreography adds coals to the inferno, with movement that plain just doesnt stop. We know from Jersey Boys that he can capture this style, but in Memphis, he kicks it up towards art, playing with the authentic touches to add some hits of Fosse, or riffs from modern dance that take us just that extra step we need.”

“Seria Noé um psicopata? "Qualquer pessoa, exceto psicopatas, não ficaram maus depois. Nos Estados Unidos, temos uma legião de soldados que sofrem pelo o que fizeram na guerra do Iraque. Qualquer pessoa, mesmo quem apertou o botão da bomba de Hiroshima, por mais que justifique ordens, uma dia a consciência pesa. Exceto, um psicopata. Diferente da bomba de Hiroshima, Noé teve tempo para pensar e voltar atrás.”

“Seria o melhor que a ciência consegue fazer para conciliar ciência e religião: dizer que Adão era, na verdade, uma levedura, e que a costela era uma metáfora para o caroço, Eva brotou de um caroso da levedura. Lembrando que viemos todos de organismo unicelulares como esses, por isso, levedura é largamente usada em laboratórios para estudar genética, evolução e mais.”
