«When you start out as kids you’re just boys and girls, going through time at the same speed, and you’re all five, or seven, or eleven, together. And then one day there’s a lurch and the girls just sort of sprint off into the future ahead of you.»
Neil Gaiman (autore fra le altre cose della graphic-novel “Sandman”) e il suo racconto candidato nel 2007 per lo Hugo Award nella categoria
best short stories, “How To Talk To Girls At Parties”. «“It’s Pernod,” I told her. “It tastes like aniseed balls, only it’s alcoholic.” I didn’t say that I only tried it because I’d heard someone in the crowd ask for a Pernod on a live Velvet Underground LP.»
