    A la estación se la comen las casas adosadas y luego los campos se comen a las casas, primero vacíos y después salpicados de ovejas. La gente se quita el abrigo y enciende los portátiles y se oye un suspiro colectivo. Al otro lado del pasillo una mujer abre una bolsa de patatas con queso y cebolla. Parpadea y se mete cinco en la boca. Se hacen pedazos y suenan como los parásitos de la radio.

    I hang up. I feel like a serious man in the emotional climax of a film that ends with a teary defeat. I wish this was in a film.

    Because Time has been around for a long time, it often gets bored. In order to briefly relieve its boredom, Time enjoys constructing massively unlikely series of events. If the events are of the romantic kind, they're called Fate, and if they are of the negative kind, we call them Unfortunate Coincidence.

    Quiero seguirla. Quiero seguirla hasta el borde del planeta, entrelazar los brazos con los suyos saltar al infinito. Quizá si muero a su lado pueda ascender a un planeta mejor. Ella se merece más que esto. Una persona como ella no puede pertenecer a un lugar donde existen cosas tan patéticas como la pasta de dientes, los zapatos ortopédicos y los caniches diminutos.

    Sé que creceremos y nos separaremos y seremos adultos y esto se convertirá en un pequeño capítulo de nuestras vidas, olvidado excepto en determinados días, bajo cierta luz; entonces este momento se elevará como un globo aerostático desde un bosque infinito.

    We started to execute more and our team did not have as many turnovers. We just played better as a team in the fourth quarter. I was a little nervous at first, a little nervous. They played us real tough, but we came through.

    I was his host for nine Phoenix Opens and would fly him over in a private jet. I always tried to tell him a joke he hadn't heard, which was pretty hard with Bob Hope.

    We rode pretty hard for about 30 or 40 kilometers, but eventually it got a bit disorganized. There were a couple of teams chasing, because (Michael) Barry was in the break and I think he was some kind of threat on the G.C. The sprint just came up on us and everybody was doing their turns at the front. I kind of timed it to come through on my turn. I wasn't sure what was going to happen, because yesterday there was a thousand dollars on the sprint. I didn't think there was that much money on the line, but I wasn't going to miss a shot.
