Inglewood Quotes

If they’d been at an out-of-control party in Compton, they would not have knocked. Leimert Park, Inglewood, Downtown, Koreatown, East L.A., Van Nuys, they would have walked right in.

If you have heard that I am wild, you can contradict the rumour,(...) I am tame. I am quite tame; I am about the tamest beast that crawls. I drink too much of the same kind of whisky at the same time every night. I even drink about the same amount too much. I go to the same number of public-houses. I meet the same damned women with mauve faces. I hear the same number of dirty stories— generally the same dirty stories. You may assure my friends, Inglewood, that you see before you a person whom civilization has thoroughly tamed.

Loss is like walking through the dark, hoping for the sunrise. There are times you doubt it will ever come, but eventually the sun must rise. For now, we must count ourselves blessed we do not walk alone. We have each other.

Nothing, again, could be more prosaic and impenetrable than the domestic energies of Miss Diana Duke. But Innocent had somehow blundered on the discovery that her thrifty dressmaking went with a considerable feminine care for dress--the one feminine thing that had never failed her solitary self-respect. In consequence Smith pestered her with a theory (which he really seemed to take seriously) that ladies might combine economy with magnificence if they would draw light chalk patterns on a plain dress and then dust them off again. He set up "Smith's Lightning Dressmaking Company," with two screens, a cardboard placard, and box of bright soft crayons; and Miss Diana actually threw him an abandoned black overall or working dress on which to exercise the talents of a modiste. He promptly produced for her a garment aflame with red and gold sunflowers; she held it up an instant to her shoulders, and looked like an empress. And Arthur Inglewood, some hours afterwards cleaning his bicycle (with his usual air of being inextricably hidden in it), glanced up; and his hot face grew hotter, for Diana stood laughing for one flash in the doorway, and her dark robe was rich with the green and purple of great decorative peacocks, like a secret garden in the "Arabian Nights." A pang too swift to be named pain or pleasure went through his heart like an old-world rapier. He remembered how pretty he thought her years ago, when he was ready to fall in love with anybody; but it was like remembering a worship of some Babylonian princess in some previous existence. At his next glimpse of her (and he caught himself awaiting it) the purple and green chalk was dusted off, and she went by quickly in her working clothes.

Tutti gli sport sono a loro modo metafore di vita. Il basket ha la sua specificità nello scorrere del tempo. Quando l’arbitro scocca per aria la prima palla a due sai quale sarà la durata della partita. Quarantotto minuti effettivi durano esattamente quarantotto minuti. Così come durante la veglia del 31 dicembre sappiamo quanto è durato l’anno solare appena trascorso: un anno solare. Però i secondi e gli attimi che compongono una partita o un anno solare sono diversissimi tra loro. Il tempo non scorre lineare, non è un mucchietto di sabbia crescente sotto la fessura della clessidra. Ci sono molti secondi insignificanti, che ci scivolano tra le dita e dimentichiamo presto. E ci sono attimi dilatati, in cui il senso delle cose si blocca e continua a lavorarci dentro negli anni. Questi dodici secondi, segnalati dal maxischermo cubico pendente dal soffitto del Forum di Inglewood, sono uno di questi istanti di purezza. I quarantasette minuti e quarantotto secondi precedenti sono già scomparsi, così come il resto dei playoff e tutta la regular season.

People can’t accept that they’re the only ones unhappy. They’re jealous, and waste their time trying to make others feel the same, when really they ought to put their energy into fixing their own problems.
