@siellosvieran "I'll stick out here and do my own work. Finish out this page. I feel really very good today. The flow of story is coming back to me. The feel of the people. And the feel of speech and the flow of action." (p.65)

"He shook his head (Armansky). He could not accept that she was an insane mass murderer. Salander never did anything against her will or without thinking through the consequences.
Peculiar -yes. Insane -no."

"There are no innocents. There are, however, differente degrees of responsibility."

"Charlotte se pasa semanas pintando, una tras otra, naturalezas muertas.
En alemán, naturaleza muerta se dice Stilleben: vida silenciosa.
La vida silenciosa, esa expresión que le encaja tan bien a Charlotte."

[David Silva Johnson @dasijoh]

"Charlotte admiraba profundamente a Walter Benjamin.
Había leído sus libros y le encantaba oír sus crónicas por la radio.
Una de sus frases podría haber sido el lema de la obra de Charlotte:
La auténtica medida de la vida es el recuerdo."

"Charlotte está delante de la consulta de Moridis.
Llama a la puerta.
Le abre el doctor en persona.
Ah... Charlotte, dice.
Ella no contesta.
Lo mira.
Y le alarga la maleta.
Diciendo es toda mi vida."

"En sus conversaciones hay muchos espacios en blanco
Son palabras, lanzadas aquí y allá, desordenadamente
¿Por eso se besan las personas?
¿Para romper el silencio?"

"He had a word, too. Love, he called it. But I have been used to words for a long time. I knew that that word was like the others; just a shape to fill a lack; that when the right time came, you wouldn´t need a word for that anymore than for pride or fear."

[David Silva Johnson @dasijoh]

"So I took Anse. And when I knew that I had Cash, I knew that living was terible and that this was the answer to it. That was when I learned that words are no good; that words dont ever fit even what they are trying to say at."

[David Silva Johnson @dasijoh]

"I could just remember how my father used to say that the reason for living was to get ready to stay dead a long time."

"Motionless, the tall buzzards hang in soaring circles, the clouds giving them an illusion of retrograde."

VARDAMAN "My mother is a fish."

[David Silva Johnson @dasijoh]

"Pa stands beside the bed. From behind his leg Vardaman peers, with his round head and his eyes round and his mouth beginning to open. She looks at pa; all her failing life appears to drain into her eyes, urgent, irremediable. "It´s Jewel she wants", Dewey Dell says."

[David Silva Johnson @dasijoh]

"Jewel", I say, "do you know that Addie Bundren is going to die? Addie Bundren is going to die?"

[David Silva Johnson @dasijoh]

"It takes two people to make you, and one people to die. That´s how the world is going to end."
