| 456529a | pero cualquiera con fanatismo, poder e impunidad puede transformarse en una bestia, | Isabel Allende | ||
| f1f242d | Supongo que en el transcurso de la vida embellecemos algunos recuerdos y procuramos olvidar otros. | Isabel Allende | ||
| 770a8aa | Comer solo, dormir solo, morir solo. Contar con una companera, como Lucia habia sugerido, ?como seria? Cocinar para ella, esperarla por las tardes, andar con ella de la mano, dormir abrazados, contarle sus pensamientos, escribirle poemas... Alguien como Lucia. Era una mujer madura, solida, inteligente, de risa facil, sabia porque habia sufrido, pero no se aferraba al sufrimiento, como el, y ademas, bonita. Pero era atrevida y mandona. Una m.. | Isabel Allende | ||

| 90cb3ea | His house of cards had collapsed, and he lay among the ruins--but he was free. He felt euphoric, weightless, years younger. The only thing he missed was Indiana, but she too belonged to the past; she too had been carried off by the wind. | Isabel Allende | ||
| 98d4d16 | Salvo excepciones, los ninos suelen ser un poco sosos. Ademas, carecen de poder, los adultos deciden por ellos y lo hacen mal, les inculcan sus propias ideas erroneas sobre la realidad y despues los crios pasan el resto de sus vidas tratando de librarse de ellas. | Isabel Allende | ||
| e3d7a5c | Melesio tweezed his facial hairs, then ran ether-soaked cotton over his face, so his skin was the texture of silk; he took pains with his long-fingered, slender hands, and every night brushed his hair one hundred times. He was tall, with strong bones, but he moved with such delicacy that he gave the impression of being fragile. He never talked about his family and it would be years later, during his time in the penal colony on Santa Maria, .. | Isabel Allende | ||
| 10509bb | The Indians' insistence on clinging to their customs had to be the work of Satan there was no other explanation which is why the friars went out to hunt down and lasso the deserters and then whipped their doctrine of love and forgiveness into them. | native-americans racism | Isabel Allende | |
| e6e7592 | Decia que el cristianismo, como casi todas las supersticiones, hacia al hombre mas debil y resignado y que no habia que esperar una recompensa en el cielo, sino pelear por sus derechos en la tierra. | Isabel Allende | ||
| a20abc2 | Casi todo el mundo miente, unos por vanidad, para presentarse bajo una luz favorable, otros por temor y la mayoria simplemente por habito. | Isabel Allende | ||

| cbfac92 | Mi nieto corria delante con los pies para los lados y moviendo los brazos como un pato. Nos acercamos al arroyo, tumultuoso en invierno, donde habiamos esparcido tus cenizas. Lo reconocio al punto. -Paula estaba enferma ayer-dijo; para el todo pasado era ayer. -Si. Se murio. -?Quien la mato? -No es como en la television, Alejandro, a veces la gente se enferma y se muere, asi no mas. -Adonde van los muertos? -No se exactamente. -Ella se fue .. | Isabel Allende | ||
| 6191b56 | It was then that I understood that the days of Colonel Garcia and all those like him are numbered, because they have not been able to destroy the spirit of these women. | Isabel Allende | ||
| 938f278 | He had a presentiment that their fates would be intertwined, but immediately rejected it; he always tried to avoid falling into the traps of intuition. | Isabel Allende | ||
| db8b8db | C'e molta gente buona, Irina, ma e discreta. I cattivi, invece, fanno molto rumore, per questo si notano di piu. | cattiveria discrezione gente rumore | Isabel Allende | |
| 0007165 | queria estirar las manos a traves de la mesa y tocarlo, acercarse, hundir la nariz en su cuello y comprobar que todavia olia a tierra y hierbas, decirle que sin el vivia sonambula, que nada ni nadie podia llenar el vacio terrible de su ausencia, que daria todo por volver a estar desnuda en sus brazos, nada importaba sino el. | Isabel Allende | ||
| 66f21e7 | Con Ichimei descubrio las multiples sutilezas del amor y del placer, desde la pasion desenfrenada y urgente, hasta esos momentos sagrados en que la emocion los elevaba y se quedaban inmoviles, tendidos frente a frente en la cama, mirandose a los ojos largamente, agradecidos de su suerte, humildes por haber tocado lo mas hondo de sus almas, purificados por haberse desprendido de todo artificio y yacer juntos totalmente | Isabel Allende | ||
| 7fe03b9 | Right away, death is word-eating. | Yann Martel | ||
| 2cedb89 | The grand march of progress apparently includes the unfortunate necessity of chopping down every obstacle in its way. | Yann Martel | ||
| 0c72c7e | My heart began to beat like a merry drum and blood started flowing through my veins like cars from a wedding party honking their way through town. | Yann Martel | ||
| 9a30be8 | Ageing is not easy, Sennhora Castro. It's a terrible, incurable pathology. And great love is another pathology. It starts well. It's a most desirable disease. One wouldn't want to do without it. It's like yeast that corrupts the juice of grapes. One loves, one loves, one persists in loving-the incubation period can be very long- and then, with death, comes the heart break. Love must always meet its unwanted end. | death diesease heartbreak love suffering | Yann Martel | |
| 155c393 | Faced with the prospect of following a convention, there's a great temptation for designers to try reinventing the wheel instead, largely because they feel (not incorrectly) that they've been hired to do something new and different, not the same old thing. Not to mention the fact that praise from peers, awards, and high-profile job offers are rarely based on criteria like "best use of conventions." Occasionally, time spent reinventing the w.. | Steve Krug | ||

| b1d70bc | In the last few years, making things more usable has become almost everybody's responsibility. Visual designers and developers now often find themselves doing things like interaction design (deciding what happens next when the user clicks, taps, or swipes) and information architecture (figuring out how everything should be organized). I | Steve Krug | ||
| 4466db1 | How many opportunities do we have to dramatically improve people's lives just by doing our job a little better? | Steve Krug | ||
| d1f720e | The problem is, the rewards and the costs of adding more things to the Home page aren't shared equally. The section that's being promoted gets a huge gain in traffic, while the overall loss in effectiveness of the Home page as it gets more cluttered is shared by all sections. | Steve Krug | ||
| 37295e8 | One discovers weeping - one's weeping personality - only upon weeping. It is a strange discovery, not only to others but to oneself. p 49 | Yann Martel | ||
| 1d2ebb4 | Ageing is not easy, Senhora Castro. It's a terrible, incurable pathology. And great love is another pathology. | love | Yann Martel | |
| 9e71db2 | These people fail to realize that it is on the inside that God must be defended, not on the outside. They should direct their anger at themselves. For evil in the open is but evil from within that has been let out. The main battlefield for good is not the open ground of the public arena but the small clearing of each heart. Meanwhile, | Yann Martel | ||

| 4c0e366 | Nature can put on a thrilling show. The stage is vast, the lighting is dramatic, the extras are innumerable, and the budget for special effects is absolutely unlimited. | Yann Martel | ||
| 4ad52d6 | And then he has nothing to do. After three weeks-or is it a lifetime?-of ceaseless activity, he has nothing to do. A very long sentence, anchored in solid nouns, with countless subordinate clauses, scores of adjectives and adverbs, and bold conjunctions that launched the sentence in a new direction-besides unexpected interludes-has finally, with a surprisingly quiet full stop, come to an end. For an hour or so, sitting outside on the landin.. | Yann Martel | ||
| 9a6b996 | You bring joy and pain in equal measure- come aboard if your destination is oblivion. It should be our next stop. We can sit together. You can have the window seat, if you want. But it's a sad view. | life | Yann Martel | |
| cd7fdbf | Everything in me, right down to the pores of my skin, was expressing joy. | quotes-on-life | Yann Martel | |
| fa8df90 | I noticed how those who know the truth are always treated with suspicion and disdain. That was the case with Jesus, of course. But look at old Miss Marple. Always she knows, and everyone is surprised that she does. And the same with Hercule Poirot. How can that ridiculous little man know anything? But he does, he does. It is the triumph of the meek, in Agatha Christie as in the Gospels. | Yann Martel | ||
| 5bc3eca | English was jazz music, German was classical music, French was ecclesiastical music, and Spanish was the music from the streets. | Yann Martel | ||
| 27fbbb7 | Kita tentunya juga diperbolehkan merasa ragu. Tapi kita mesti jalan terus. Memilih keraguan sebagai falsafah hidup sama halnya memilih kemandekan sebagai sarana transportasi. | mandek ragu | Yann Martel | |

| 8b73e3a | Antara mencari untung dan melayani masyarakat tidak bisa seiring-sejalan. | masyarakat untung | Yann Martel | |
| c5bc0db | You see, the penis, it's so graceless, wouldn't you agree? When it's cold and shrivelled up, it looks like W.H. Auden in his old age; when it's hot, it flops and dangles about in a ridiculous way; when it's excited, it looks so pained and earnest you'd think it was going to burst into tears. And the scrotum! To think that something so vital to the survival of the species, fully responsible for 50 per cent of the ingredients--though none of .. | gender sex sexual-organs | Yann Martel |
