| 295c367 | Emma couldn't look away from Mike's eyes, they seemed to glow for a second, but there was something she couldn't place. She found herself leaning closer and her gaze dropped to his lips, she was so close she could feel his breath on her face. Her mind was telling her to pull back, but her hormones were urging her on. | paranormal-romance werewolves | Amanda Clark | |
| 972689c | Odio gli indifferenti. Credo che vivere voglia dire essere partigiani. Chi vive veramente non puo non essere cittadino e partigiano. L'indifferenza e abulia, e parassitismo, e vigliaccheria, non e vita. Percio odio gli indifferenti. | Antonio Gramsci | ||
| f91296f | It should never be forgotten that, in the struggle between the nations, it is in the interest of each one of them that the other should be weakened by internal struggle. Hence it is always possible to pose the question of whether the parties exist by virtue of their own strength, as their own necessity, or whether rather they only exist to serve the interests of others. | political-parties | Antonio Gramsci | |
| dbebc7b | This ain't no cloud, folks! And so, instead of calling this new creative energy source "the cloud," this book will henceforth use the term that Craig Mundie, the computer designer from Microsoft, once suggested. I will call it "the supernova"--a computational supernova. The" | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| 7696f24 | What comes from the heart enters the heart." What doesn't come from your heart will never enter someone else's heart. It takes caring to ignite caring; it takes empathy to ignite empathy." | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| 4782bfa | But the ancients believed that there was wisdom in patience and that wisdom comes from patience ... Patience wasn't just the absence of speed. It was space for reflection and thought. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| 536007b | The emergence of intelligent algorithms and networks such as LaunchCode, which can be used by employers as trusted validators to sow people into the system and not weed them out of it, holds the promise of unlocking a lot of wasted talent. Says Lewis: "If you can do the job, you should get the job." Fortunately," | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| 6d90364 | As I noted in Chapter 14, "The Earthquake," there was a supermarket in Jerusalem where I shopped for fruits and vegetables almost every day. It was owned by an Iraqi Jewish family who had immigrated to Israel from Baghdad in the early 1940s. The patriarch of the family, Sasson, was an elderly curmudgeon in his sixties. Sasson's whole life had left him with the conviction that the Arabs would never willingly accept a Jewish state in their mi.. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||

| 4faa97a | A Mexican newspaper recently ran a story about how the Converse shoe company was making tennis shoes in China using Mexican glue. "The whole article was about why are we giving them our glue," said Zedillo, "when the right attitude would be, How much more glue can we sell them? We still need to break some mental barriers." | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| 04f6dbc | Individual cities that now do the same thing can reap the benefits. So this isn't complicated: the most educated people who plug into the most flows and enjoy the best governance and infrastructure win. They will have the most data to mine; they will see the most new ideas first; they will be challenged by them first and able to respond and take advantage of them first. Being in the flow will constitute a significant strategic and economic .. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| 573262f | Historically, noted James Manyika, one of the authors of the McKinsey report, companies kept their eyes on competitors "who looked like them, were in their sector and in their geography." Not anymore. Google started as a search engine and is now also becoming a car company and a home energy management system. Apple is a computer manufacturer that is now the biggest music seller and is also going into the car business, but in the meantime, w.. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||

Friedman | ||
| 45c6b4f | President Obama gave voice to exactly this sentiment in the speech he delivered as the first American president to visit Hiroshima, on May 27, 2016: "Science allows us to communicate across the seas and fly above the clouds, to cure disease and understand the cosmos, but those same discoveries can be turned into ever more efficient killing machines," said Obama. "The wars of the modern age teach us this truth. Hiroshima teaches this truth. .. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| 2ce6523 | A Nobel Prize winner was asked how he became a scientist. He said that every day after school, his mother would ask him not what he learned but whether he asked a good question today. That, he said, was how he became a scientist. | openness parenthood questioning | Thomas L. Friedman | |

| 3ecce75 | Matilda Briggs was not the name of a young woman, Watson," said Holmes in a reminiscent voice. "It was a ship which is associated with the giant rat of Sumatra, a story for which the world is not yet prepared." | Sir Arthur Conan Doyle | ||
| 35a0df6 | Holmes was for the moment as startled as I. His hand closed like a vice upon my wrist in his agitation. Then he broke into a low laugh and put his lips to my ear. "It is a nice household," he murmured. "That is the baboon." | Arthur Conan Doyle Sir | ||
| d076f2b | It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. | Sir Arthur Conan Doyle | ||
| 267d995 | Edmond Locard ordered all the local organ grinders and their simian employees brought to his laboratory. A number of the monkeys, perhaps concerned about an infringement of their civil rights, resisted fingerprinting and had to be restrained. The organ grinders were more cooperative. When the burglarizing beast had been identified, his companion's rooms were searched and there the missing items were found. | E.J. Wagner | ||
| b1d7b9c | Fifty years before Sherlock Holmes first appeared, the Bow Street Runner had used the Sherlockian method of careful observation of trifles. The Randall matter was the first case of ballistic identification to be documented, and Henry Goddard remains forever inscribed in forensic history as the man who proved that the butler did it. | E.J. Wagner | ||
| 4c44ebc | The next morning, for the first time, Jonas did not take his pill. Something within him, something that had grown there through the memories, told him to throw the pill away. | Lois Lowry | ||

| a6e93e6 | There had been no real coffee in Copenhagen since the beginning of the Nazi occupation. Not even any real tea. The mothers sipped at hot water flavored with herbs. "Annemarie," | Lois Lowry | ||
| 901f8d4 | and we have been told that they may come tonight | Lois Lowry | ||
| 3ae392d | So, Henrik, is the weather good for fishing?" Papa asked cheerfully, and listened briefly. Then he continued, "I'm sending Inge to you today with the children, and she will be bringing you a carton of cigarettes. "Yes, just one," he said, after a moment. Annemarie couldn't hear Uncle Henrik's words. "But there are a lot of cigarettes available in Copenhagen now, if you know where to look," he went on, "and so there will be others coming to .. | Lois Lowry | ||
| 85619df | Oh! Lovely!" said Nanny. "You are an old fashioned family, like us. We are four worthy orphans with a no-nonsense nanny." "Like Mary Poppins?" suggested the man, with a pleased look of recognition. "Not one bit like that fly-by-night woman," Nanny said with a sniff. "It almost gives me diabetes just to think of her: all those disgusting spoonfuls of sugar! None of that for me. I am simply a competent and professional nanny..." | Lois Lowry | ||

| 15d953a | It is much easier to be brave if you don't know everything. | Lois Lowry | ||
| c7adaa9 | All of it was new to him. After a life of Sameness and predictability, he was awed by the surprises that lay beyond each curve of the road. He slowed the bike again and again to look with wonder at wildflowers, go enjoy the throaty warble of a new bird nearby, or merely to watch the way wind shifted the leaves in the trees. During his twelve years in the community, he had never felt such simple moments of exquisite happiness. | Lois Lowry | ||
| 1e23737 | He saw Forest and understood what Seer had meant. It was an illusion. It was a tangled knot of fears and deceits and dark struggles for power that had disguised itself and almost destroyed everything. | Lois Lowry | ||

| f60fb4c | Then, in the same way that his own dwelling slipped away behind him as he rounded a corner on his bicycle, the dream slipped away from his thoughts. Very briefly, a little guiltily, he tried to grasp it back. But the feelings had disappeared. The Stirrings were gone. | Lois Lowry | ||
| 28dfb5d | She had seen her son for the first time, in this place, when he was a child of eight or nine. She remembered that day. He ran along the path near the cottage to which she had been assigned, calling to his friends, laughing, his unkempt hair bright in the sunlight. "Gabe!" she heard a boy call; but she would have known him without hearing it. It was the same smile she remembered, the same silvery laugh. She had moved forward in that moment, .. | Lois Lowry | ||
| 906f754 | But they don't want change. Life here is so orderly, so predictable-so painless. It's what they've chosen. | Lois Lowry | ||
| c6ec676 | It's a funny thing about names, how they become a part of someone. | individuality memories names remembrance | Lois Lowry |
