Juan Peron, I think in the end, had become a little resentful of Eva. She was so popular. She was so much more loved than he was. And he never wanted to be buried in the same tomb with her. So she was buried in her family crypt; he was buried in his own crypt.

One does, after all, take on many of the givens of a society when one takes on its language.

Somebody will come from Village X and then they'll send for the brother and then they'll send for the sister and then they'll send for the brother-in-law and then they'll send for the wife of the brother-in-law.

You know, one, two, three, four, five years go by and then Marcos gets a little boring.

For the kids, who in their lives have never known the slightest power, delinquency is a way of looking for power.

These kids who have no place in the world, who nobody has ever made room for, look at least for a place in time, in the present through fashion. It's vitally important to them to look right.

Of course they're not going to have any respect for their fathers, in their shabby old backcountry suits!
