“I settled back. Brett moved close to me. We sat up close against each other. I put my arm around her and she rested against me comfortably. It was very hot and bright, and the houses looked sharply white. We turned out onto the Gran Via.
"Oh, Jake," Brett said, "We could have have such a damned good time together."
"Yes," I said. "Isn't it pretty to think so.”

“It would not be until darkness had taken indisputable control over the land, until the flames of the bonfire created an unreal world of shadows, until tequila and mescal untied men from their somber selves.”

“鈥擳en cuidado 鈥攄ijo James, mientras hac铆a un gesto de advertencia casi autom谩tico鈥�. Creo que eso es fruta de hadas. No tiene efecto sobre los brujos, me refiero a efectos m谩gicos, claro, pero sobre los humanos...

“I treasured these slightly mad little escapades. They were part of the carnival spirit of the city, which seemed on the verge of breaking into a fiesta. Even the five-and-ten-cent stores, the epitome of national conformity, took on a local flavor with their displays of turquoise and silver, Aztec pottery, and hand-tooled leather simply screaming for the open marketplace, while the fake pearls crouched back in awe. But it was the gay little Mexican girls who, smiling sweet-tempered behind the counters, set the mood. Never rude, never dull, never tired, they lent a graciousness to the city that seemed to be in secret league with the sunny atmosphere to conjure up its lighthearted spell.”

“Soneto de Fiestas
La Navidad no se trata de decoraciones,
Se trata de compasi贸n.
Hanukkah no se trata de las sufganiyot,
Se trata de unificaci贸n.
El Ramad谩n no se trata de comida,
Se trata de cari帽o.
Diwali no se trata de luces,
Se trata de la ascensi贸n.
Nuestro mundo est谩 lleno de festivales,
Pero 驴qu茅 significan realmente?
Al celebrarlos con exclusividad cultural,
No somos humanos sino animales salvajes.
Cada fiesta pertenece a toda la humanidad,
Porque la felicidad no tiene identidad religiosa.”
