Skol'ko liudei, stol'ko i istin. Vremia ot vremeni mne viditsia bolee istinnaia Istina, skryvaiushchaiasia v nesovershennom podobii samoi sebia, no kak tol'ko ia k nei priblizhaius', ona probuzhdaetsia i pogruzhaetsia eshchio glubzhe v porosshee koliuchim kustarnikom boloto raznoglasii.

Svijet je skolski ravnatelj koji se bavi tvojim manama. Ne mislim u nekom u nekom misticnom ili Isusovom smislu. Nego prije na foru da se uporno spotices preko neke skrivene stube, bez kraja i konca, dok ti konacno ne sine: pazi, stuba! Sve su stvari u kojima kiksamo skrivene stube, bilo da smo odvec sebicni ili odvec sluga pokoran ili sto vec. Ili nikad neces primijetiti u cemu grijesis pa ces dovijeka trpjeti posljedice ili ces jednog dan..

Citi oameni atitea adevaruri. Cind si cind, parca zaresc un Adevar mai adevarat, care se ascunde in spatele unor simulacre imprefecte, dar, cind incerc sa m-apropii de el, se face nevazut si se afunda si mai adinca in mlastina inselatoare a dezacordului.

Yay, Old Uns' Smart mastered sicks, miles, seeds an' made miracles ord'nary, but it din't master one thing, nay, a hunger in the hearts o' humans, yay, a hunger for more. More what? I asked. Old Uns'd got ev'rythin'. Oh, more gear, more food, faster speeds, longer lifes, easier lifes, more power, yay. Now the Hole World is big, but it weren't big 'nuff for that hunger what made Old Uns rip out the skies an' boil up the seas an' poison soil ..

Ay, TC, ?por que te entregaste a los libros? !Que rollo de oficio, que autentico pestino! Las autobiografias ya de por si son infumables, !pero anda que las novelitas! Heroe emprende viaje, forastero llega a la ciudad, alguien persigue algo, lo consigue o no lo consigue, conflicto entre voluntades opuestas. "Admiradme, porque soy una metafora"."

Ya no hay lugar para ti en el mundo exterior. Ahora vives en Aurora House. ?Vas captando el concepto? ?O le pido al senor Withers aqui presente que te lo vuelva a explicar? Mandala a la mierda, me aconsejaba mi espiritu, o te arrepentiras despues. Dile lo que quiere oir, chillaba mi sistema nervioso, o te arrepentiras ahora. El espiritu parecia fuerte, pero la carne es debil.

La felicidad significa ausencia de privaciones? Si es asi, entonces los sirvientes, tal y como los purasangres gustan de creer, son el estrato mas feliz de toda la Corpocracia. Pero si la felicidad significa superar adversidades, o sentirse valorado y realizado, entonces, de todos los esclavos de Nea So Copros, somos sin ninguna duda los mas desdichados.

Commander Aronsson of the Icelandic Marines, that ship is the ICGV Sjalfstaedi." The officer's voice has a military crispness, and when he turns to his left, the bulletproof visor reflects the low sun. "This is Lieutenant Eriksdottir." He indicates a slighter figure, a woman, also watching us through an augvisor. She nods by way of hello. "Last, we have 'Mr.' Harry Veracruz, a presidential adviser who is joining us on our mission." --

Lavender's my favorite scent, after White-Out and bacon rind. I sat down on the steps, not sure where to go next. A July afternoon yawned. Mirage puddles'd shimmered on the Welland road as I rode here. I could've gone to sleep on the baked doorstep. Little naked ants.

Still. Mariangela says that the best way to work with dementia is to act as if the person you knew is still inside the wreckage. If you're wrong, and the person you knew is gone, then no damage is done but the standards of care stay high; if you're right, and the person you knew is still bricked up inside, then you are the lifeline.

What is marriage, exactly, and how could we explain it to an alien anthropologist? It's more than just a living arrangement. Is it an endeavor, a pledge, a symbol, or an affirmation? Is it a span of shared years and shared experiences? A vessel for intimacy? Or does the old joke nail it best? 'If love is an enchanted dream, then marriage is an alarm clock.' " Mostly male laughter in the congregation is shushed. "Maybe marriage is difficult ..
