John Irving
“Ruth sabía que era afortunada. Se dijo que su próxima novela debería tratar de la buena suerte, de cómo la buena suerte y el infortunio se distribuyen de una manera desigual, si no al nacer, por lo menos a medida que se dan las circunstancias sobre las que no tenemos control alguno, así como los acontecimientos que entran en colisión: la gente que conocemos, el momento en que ese conocimiento tiene lugar y si esas personas importantes podrían conocer casualmente a otras, y el momento en que podría suceder tal cosa.”
John Irving, A Widow for One Year

John Irving
“In short,I might take seriously the idea of service to my country when my country begins to demonstrate that it gives a shit about me!”
John Irving, In One Person
