"Capitán de Mar y Guerra" de Patrick O´Brian

Creo que no había hecho nunca algo así. Me he expresado mal, con torpeza, con ambigüedad; no he dicho lo que pensaba ni lo que realmente quería decir. Nos comprendíamos mejor cuando yo no había dicho ni una palabra.

"Annie Hall" de Woody Allen

"After that it got pretty late, and we both had to go, but it was great seeing Annie again. I realized what a terrific person she was, and... and how much fun it was just knowing her; and I... I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this... this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and... but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us... need the eggs."
