El país dels cecs

Víctor García Tur

“Van tornar les orenetes (unes altres). Però a mi la primavera em va durar poc perquè a principis d’abril pujava a un Expreso cap a Madrid i, de seguida, un avió se m’enduia cap a la tardor argentina (si és que les estacions tenen pàtria). Perdre de vista Barcelona seria positiu perquè em faria descansar del silenci imposat i la falsa desmemòria. L’enèsim pas de rosca, encara que hagués estat contra les vèrtebres d’una anarquista, ens havia entristit per la constatació que ni amb tot l’embat transformador tombaríem un règim sense escrúpols, sense temps: el franquisme anacrònic i etern.”

La bicicleta estàtica

Sergi Pàmies

"Vist amb la perspectiva dels anys, però, puc certificar que amb mocassins també pots prendre mal, i que, de totes les coses irracionals que arribem a fer, estimar sempre la mateixa dona―de la teva vida o no―no és, ni de bon tros, la més absurda."

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Lewis Carroll

“Alice took up the fan and gloves, and, as the hall was very hot, she kept fanning herself all the time she went on talking: ‘Dear, dear! How queer everything is to-day! And yesterday things went on just as usual. I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is, Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle!’ And she began thinking over all the children she knew that were of the same age as herself, to see if she could have been changed for any of them.”
