Solo los niños muy enfermos deberían morir de sarampión
No, secretario Kennedy
NINGÚN niño debería morir de sarampión, porque hay una vacuna probada, segura y efectiva para prevenir que nadie muera o tenga un fuerte sarampión.
“No puedo y no voy a cortar mi conciencia para adaptarla a las modas de este año...”
Lillian Hellman, 20 de junio de 1905, Nueva Orleans, Luisiana, Estados Unidos.
Luz que no llega limpia. Calor que no escapa. Una paradoja atmosférica perfecta: el sol se oculta detrás del velo y aun así quema más. La física siendo cruel con elegancia.

Gena Rowlands explains the reason why "A Woman Under the Influence" (1974, Cassavetes), which was first written as a play, was made into a movie:
"Rowlands: John wrote it as a play. He said, “Hey, I wrote you a play.” And I said, “Great, let’s read it.” I read it and I said, “John, I couldn’t do this every night and twice on Wednesday and Saturday. I wouldn’t be able to last two weeks. I’d die.” It was a very hard play to do every night. And he said, “Don’t worry. Don’t even think about it, you’re right. I hadn’t thought of that.” He said, “Just forget it.”
Then in about two weeks he said, “Okay. I solved the problem. I wrote a different play for you.” He said, “So you won’t have to carry all of it every night. I used the same characters but I enlarged different parts of the scenes.” He changed it generally to make it humanly possible. And I said, “Oh, that’s a miracle, let me see it.” And I read it and I said, “Listen, you must know a lot of strong actresses!” [laughs] I said, “I still wouldn’t be able to do it. This is really hard.” She has a nervous breakdown—there’s a lot of things that are hard emotionally to do. So he said, “Okay. I’m going to write it as a picture.” I said, “I think I can get through it once.” [laughs] “But I’m not making any guarantees.” He thought that was funny and then he wrote it thinking like an actor too instead of just a writer. I think he took that into consideration. And it is, of course, much easier to do a film when you’re doing an extremely emotional part than it is doing it onstage over and over especially.
Interviewer: Do you consider that to be your most challenging role? Mabel?
Rowlands: Well, yes, it was my favorite. I loved doing that. And it was challenging.
Interviewer: Since John gave you so much freedom to do what you liked as a character, how would you go about finding them? Was it something that was instinctual for you, from the script?
Rowlands: I read the script, you know, 50 times. And I thought about it. And then I did it. [laughs]"

Para los que se llenan la boca con los 16 goles (6 de penal) de Messi en 6 Mundiales jugados igualando a Miroslav Klose...el alemán jugó 4 Mundiales y no tiró ningún penal. Se terminó la discusión.
La selección nacional de fútbol de Noruega trajo más de 1.000 kg de comida noruega a la Copa del Mundo porque no confiaban en la comida estadounidense.
Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.
Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.
La Copa del Mundo es más que fútbol. A pesar de las tensiones políticas, el torneo continúa siendo un espacio donde cada nación celebra su identidad y su cultura. La Selección de Senegal entrena con sonrisas, divirtiéndose.
