| 8effe43 | Todos somos esclavos, ama --replico Vora--. Las mujeres. Los hombres, a su manera. No existe la libertad, solo diferentes tipos de esclavitud.

| 8a31a1c | Injustice always captures the attention of the young,' she said. 'But as we get older we discover how difficult it is to change the world, and we learn to turn our eyes away from what we can't fix until we no longer see injustice at all. | Trudi Canavan | ||
| b957870 | When Tessia and Jayan were served a large, fat rassook each, Jayan had smugly commented that Tessia certainly had a way with villagers and he would not be surprised if she could charm pickpockets into putting money into her wallet. | tessia the-magicians-apprentice trudi-canavan | Trudi Canavan | |
| 3aec937 | We are inclined to think of hunters and gatherers as poor because they don't have anything; perhaps better to think of them for that reason as free. MARSHALL SAHLINS | Daniel Quinn | ||
| 436b461 | Modernity sees humanity as having ascended from what is inferior to it--life begins in slime and ends in intelligence--whereas traditional cultures see it as descended from its superiors. As the anthropologist Marshall Sahlins puts the matter: "We are the only people who assume that we have ascended from apes. Everybody else takes it for granted that they are descended from gods." --HUSTON SMITH16" | Ray Kurzweil | ||

| 7447864 | If we'd been on speaking terms, I might've told her that I'd come to think of sex as this long dark tunnel that turns friends into strangers, strangers into friends. | Tom Perrotta | ||
| 064a972 | Eve still marveled on a daily basis at the speed with which her own life had changed. A year ago, she'd been lost and flailing, and now she was found. She wanted to call it a miracle, but it was simpler than that, and a lot more ordinary; she'd met a kind and decent man who loved her. | life-changing-events love middle-age relationships | Tom Perrotta | |
| a7fa821 | Randall kept his eyes glued to the computer screen as she approached.

| e7d3eda | J'ecris : j'ecris parce que nous avons vecu ensemble, parce que j'ai ete un parmi eux, ombre au milieu de leurs ombres, corps pres de leur corps ; j'ecris parce qu'ils ont laisse en moi leur marque indelebile et que la trace en est l'ecriture : leur souvenir est mort a l'ecriture ; l'ecriture est le souvenir de leur mort et l'affirmation de ma vie. | Georges Perec | ||

No has de abrir de nuevo tu correo febrilmente, no has de seguir decepcionado si solo encuentras en el un prospecto invitandote a adquirir por la modica suma de setenta y siete francos los tesoros del arte occidental o una vajilla de postre con tus iniciales grabadas. Has de olvidarte de esperar, de emprender, de tener exito, de perseverar. Te de.. | indifference tú un-hombre-que-duerme you | Georges Perec | |
| e5891b3 | I would like there to exist places that are stable, unmoving, intangible, untouched and almost untouchable, unchanging, deep-rooted; places that might be points of reference, of departure, of origin: My birthplace, the cradle of my family, the house where I may have been born, the tree I may have seen grow (that my father may have planted the day I was born), the attic of my childhood filled with intact memories... My spaces are fragile: ti.. | memory mortality space time writing | Georges Perec | |
| 91c04b0 | Te t'es arrete a parler et seul le silence t'a repondu. Mais ces mots, ces milliers, ces millions de mots qui se sont arretes dans ta gorge, les mots sans suite, les cris de joie, les mots d'amour, les rires idiots, quand donc les retrouveras-tu? Maintenant tu vis dans le terreur du silence. Mais n'es-tu pas le plus silencieux de tous? | Georges Perec | ||

| 35fc9b6 | Sometimes Valene dreamt of cataclysms and tempests, of whirlwinds that would carry the whole house off like a wisp of straw and display the infinite marvels of the solar system to its shipwrecked inhabitants; or that an unseen crack would run through the building from top to bottom, like a shiver, and with a long, deep, snapping sound it would open in two and be slowly swallowed up in an indescribable yawning chasm; then hordes would overru.. | Georges Perec | ||

| 5b9661c | You are alone. You learn how to walk like a man alone. To stroll, to dawdle. To see without looking, to look without seeing.

| fa447a8 | What happened, honey?" She melted at the endearment, at the look in his eyes. "I fell in love with you." Her words left her mouth on a rush of air. Something flared in his eyes. He pulled off his gloves, his eyes never leaving her, and cradled her face. His hands were warm and rough against her cold cheeks. "Eden . . .," he whispered. "I love you too." | Denise Hunter | ||
| 589b95d | He remembered the way she looked wearing his hat, remembered the warmth of her in his arms as they danced, their first kiss in the barn when he'd been rocked by the riot she'd caused inside him. There was nothing he didn't remember. Including the way she looked at him, like he hung the moon and the stars. It was the look Dylan referred to, the one that convinced his friend her feelings were real. Wade would give anything to have her here no.. | Denise Hunter | ||

On apprend quelque chose a l'ecole, on se donne meme du mal, beaucoup de mal, pour apprendre quelque chose a l'ecole, et puis vingt ans apres, ou meme avant, ce n'est plus ca, les choses ont change, on ne sait plus rien, alors vraiment ce n'etait pas la peine.

| 6e20a85 | I try hard to give rhythm to the changes of pace in a film so that the directing is full of contrast: moments when the direction is reserved and academic, and then suddenly there's a change in tone. Here's what I dream of: that the viewer in the movie theater says to himself, 'yeah, okay, it's filmed theater,' and then suddenly changes his mind: 'yes, but in theater you can't do that...' And it goes back and forth from theater to film, and .. | Alain Resnais | ||
