Alibi Quotes

“Don't ever accuse anyone of being full of pride, undignified and unprofessional when simply they are wise to move away from dishonest schemers. Dishonesty comprise too of layers of lies simply casted for impressive appearances. There are times too that corrupt hearts have their own confused, modified, self-affirming, pro-self interest business inclined definitions of "professionalism, integrity, dignity and pride.”

“He had no alibi for the night of November 8, 1974, and he argued, "If I cannot remember precisely what occurred on a date which is now eighteen and one-half months prior to my arrest for kidnapping, it is because my memory does not improve with time. It is safe to say what I was not doing, however. I was not having heart surgery, nor was I taking ballet lessons, nor was I in Mexico, no was I abducting a complete stranger at gunpoint. There are just some things a person does not forget and just some things a person is not inclined to do under any circumstances.”

“Now, if the writers of these four books [Gospels] had gone into a court of justice to prove an alibi, (for it is of the nature of an alibi that is here attempted to be proved, namely, the absence of a dead body by supernatural means,) and had they given their evidence in the same contradictory manner as it is here given, they would have been in danger of having their ears cropt for perjury, and would have justly deserved it. Yet this is the evidence, and these are the books, that have been imposed upon the world as being given by divine inspiration, and as the unchangeable word of God.”

“Succede che, a un certo punto, quel brivido che ci scuote non lo vogliamo più sentire e lo scambiamo per uno spiffero di freddo che disturba il nostro torpore, le nostre abitudini. Allora ci copriamo, ci infagottiamo di alibi. I nostri passi si fanno prevedibili, pesanti, come nella neve d'inverno, fino a che smettiamo di camminare. "Si tira avanti", preferiamo rispondere, e non ci accorgiamo che è indietro che stiamo andando. Iniziamo a sbuffare dei "lunedì della vita", degli imprevisti, delle continue prime volte, smettiamo di essere curiosi, non vogliamo nulla di nuovo - "basta, grazie, sono a posto così" -, vogliamo che ogni giorno sia "domenica", sprofondati nella tranquillità del nostro piccolo divano e delle nostre piccole certezze. Scappiamo dall'istinto di vivere e reclamiamo la "vacanza" della vita - "vacanza" che però significa "mancanza, assenza". Siamo tutti così impegnati nello sforzo inane di respingere quell'istinto così umano di partire. E alla sera siamo sempre più stanchi, svuotati.”
