I can't go back to being who I used to be!' Hadley looked down at him sympathetically. 'None of us can, kid.' he said. 'That's the point. You get what you get. Life changes you. Time travel or no, you always have to build on what you live through.

Sence ask nedir?" diye sordum Jed'e. Dalip gidiverdi. "Ask olaganustu bir seydir. Daglari yerinden oynatir; bir bebegin cigliklarini dindirir. Her insanin kalbinde bir yerlerde saklidir. Faka altindan da kiymetlidir. Satin alinamaz, satilamaz ya da calinamaz. Yasam kaynagimizdir." (syf. 107)"

You're saying our lives are like light waves/quanta?" JB asked. "We have fate and free will all at once?" "Exactly!" Jonah said. JB was rubbing his forehead. "I'd have to double-check to see what scientists in this time period think about light, to really know how to answer you without ruining time," JB said. "The problem is, if you don't know if you're riding a wave or a quantum packet of light, how do you make your choices? How do you dec..

hanimlarin gorevi nahos durumlardan uzak durmaktir. Boylelikle ruhlarimiz - ve alnimiz - huznun kiriyle kararmaz. Kadinlar cicekler kadar narindirler, dunyaya renk ve guzellik katmak icin var olurlar. Can sikici konularla ugrasmak erkeklerin gorevidir. (syf. 23 - 24)
