What they do is suggest--powerfully, irresistibly--that there are stories within them, waiting to be told. He shows us a moment in time, arrayed on a canvas; there's clearly a past and a future, but it's our task to find it for ourselves. Lawrence Block
0eb781e Too damn long.' He put his coat on an empty chair, settled a slim attache case on top of it, and placed a narrow-brimmed gray hat on top of the attache case.

251ef8d Sometimes in Hubbard's writings, however, he puts forward what appear to be fantasies of a highly schizophrenic personality. In 1952, for instance, he began talking about "injected entities," which can paralyze portions of the anatomy or block information from being audited. These entities can be located in the body, always in the same places. For instance, one of the entities, the "crew chief," is found on the right side of the jaw down to.. Lawrence Wright

e7ad218 I rode to the fourth floor, poked around until I found the stairway, and walked down a flight. I almost always do this and I sometimes wonder why.

86b513a My husbands weren't any of them bad men, I was the problem. Marriage seemed like such a small space whenever I was in it. I liked the getting married. Courtship has a plotline. But there's no plot to being married. Just the same things over and over again. Same fights, same friends, same things you do on a Saturday. The repetition would start to get to me. And then I couldn't fit my whole self into a marriage, no matter who my husband was. .. Karen Joy Fowler

Ni la noche ni el dia quieren venir para que por ti muera y tu mueras por mi. Federico García Lorca

9b34f72 Sonnet of the Garland of Roses" A garland, quick, a wreath: I come and die. Braid flowers as they fade. Sing, cry, and sing! Heart in my throat, a storm swelling a gorge shadowed and silvered by a thousand falls. Between your own desire and my desire the space is starry, each step quakes the ground, and forests of anemones will spring to round the year, making their secret sound. Lovers in my wound's landscape, overjoyed, can watch the reed.. Federico García Lorca
2a1ada0 Arbole, Arbole . . ." Tree, tree dry and green. The girl with the pretty face is out picking olives. The wind, playboy of towers, grabs her around the waist. Four riders passed by on Andalusian ponies, with blue and green jackets and big, dark capes. "Come to Cordoba, muchacha." The girl won't listen to them. Three young bullfighters passed, slender in the waist, with jackets the color of oranges and swords of ancient silver. ".. Federico García Lorca

Ljupke knjige stihova zvijezde su sto prolaze kroz nijemu tisinu u kraljevstvo Nicega, Federico García Lorca
