Oareşce emoţii sunt de aşteptat de la un anticar când e luat pe sus, direct din pat, şi dus la Comandatură. Bine măcar că şoferul nici nu mă bagă în seamă, conduce maşina pe străzile încă pustii cu aroganţa învingătorului. Fericiţi cei ce nu-şi cunosc viitorul! Mă întreb ce-ar spune dacă i-aş şopti la ureche că, nu peste foarte mult timp, va fi mort, prizonier sau măcar muritor de foame. ↗

Since our technology is really just an extension of ourselves, we don’t have to have contempt for its manipulability in the way we might with actual people. It’s all one big endless loop. We like the mirror and the mirror likes us. To friend a person is merely to include the person in our private hall of flattering mirrors. ↗

Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see. ↗

The way I figure it, everyone gets a miracle. Like, I will probably never be struck by lightening, or win a Nobel Prize, or become the dictator of a small nation in the Pacific Islands, or contract terminal ear cancer, or spontaneously combust. But if you consider all the unlikely things together, at least one of them will probably happen to each of us. I could have seen it rain frogs. I could have stepped foot on Mars. I could have been eaten by a whale. I could have married the Queen of England or survived months at sea. But my miracle was different. My miracle was this: out of all the houses in all the subdivisions in all of Florida, I ended up living next door to Margo Roth Spiegelman. ↗

You know what we need?" "A new plan?" asked Lissa. "A miracle?" asked Eddie. I paused and glared at them both before responding. Since when had they become the comedians here? "No. ↗
