| 9935f08 | I LOVE GETTING BILLS ... It means I have the ability to pay them.. I LOVE PAYING MY BILLS TOO ... It means that prosperity is flowing in and out, in and out, in and out, like the air that I breathe. | money prosperity | Elizabeth Richardson | |
| 1ecab3b | Going back to the 1700s, "liberal" meant interested in safeguarding the rights of the individual against the state; this was back when most states were monarchies and there were no bills of rights and the state could do to individuals as it pleased. In other words, "liberal," then, was kind of conservative as we would understand it today: rooted in individual liberty. But by the 1880s, liberalism would begin to concern itself not just with .. | Michael Tomasky | ||
| 85dbb2e | I say I have made it a rule not to preach. However, anyone who is 101 has earned the right to break her own rules. Once in a while, at least. And so, I am going to give you one piece of advice. Pause once a day and relish the moment. Look around. Notice the colours, the smells and the sounds. Take them in, for that moment will pass and no one can say what the next moment will bring. I know this better than most. | Bill Richardson | ||
| 4b13c72 | It was as if that day was so dark that my mind folded in on itself, protectively, the way a daisy will at night. | Bill Richardson | ||
| b700ad4 | Below us lay a valley white with snow. It was criss-crossed with lines, like a great cupped palm. But not even an expert seer would have had time to read the story of our future. Before we could get our bearings, my feet had quit the ground. Suddenly we were airborne and flying fast, carving a path between the rolling snow below and the glittering galaxies above. | Bill Richardson | ||
| ad0a739 | Tout a son vrai loyer dans ce monde. Il y a deux procureurs generaux, l'un a votre porte qui chatie les delits contre la societe; la nature est l'autre. Celle-ci connait de tous les vices qui echappent aux lois. | Denis Diderot | ||
| a2e7336 | Rasplata v etom mire nastupaet vsegda. Est' dva general'nykh prokurora: odin - tot, kto stoit u vashikh dverei i nakazyvaet za prostupki protiv obshchestva, drugoi - sama priroda. Ei izvestny vse poroki, uskol'zaiushchie ot zakonov. | Denis Diderot | ||
| 5e17956 | Monsieur me prepare le plus triste avenir; que deviendrai-je quand je n'aurai plus rien a dire? - Tu recommenceras. - Jacques, recommencer! Le contraire est ecrit la-haut; et s'il m'arrivait de recommencer, je ne pourrais m'empecher de m'ecrier: "Ah! si ton grand-pere t'entendait!..." et je regretterais le baillon." | Denis Diderot | ||

| 0ae3623 | As I listened to him describing the scene of the procurer seducing the young girl, I found myself torn between two conflicting emotions, between a powerful desire to laugh and an overwhelming surge of indignation. I was in agony. Again and again a roar of laughter prevented my rage bursting forth; again and again the rage rising in my heart became a roar of laughter. I was dumbfounded by such shrewdness and such depravity; by such soundness.. | philosophy scoundrel | Denis Diderot | |
| 07038c2 | Ik luister naar hem, en als hij de scene van de koppelaar en het meisje dat verleid wordt voordraagt, word ik door twee tegengestelde opwellingen aangegrepen, ik weet niet of ik moet lachen of kwaadworden. Ik heb het er moeilijk mee: tien keer onderdrukt een schaterlach mijn woede, tien keer eindigt mijn diepe verontwaardiging in een schaterlach. Ik ben geheel van streek door zoveel scherpzinnigheid en laaghartigheid, door de afwisseling va.. | Denis Diderot | ||

| 69af6a7 | Gehen Sie nicht gern ins Kino, Fermin?" "Im Vertrauen gesagt, mich lasst diese siebte Kunst vollig kalt. Meiner Meinung nach ist das nichts weiter als Nahrung zur Verdummung der verrohten Plebs, schlimmer als Fussball oder Stierkampfe. Der Cinematograph ist entstanden als eine Erfindung zur Unterhaltung der analphabetischen Massen und funfzig Jahren spater hat sich daran nichts geandert"." | cinema sarcasm | Carlos Ruiz Zafón | |
| abbb62c | Sopravvivere, e nella nostra natura. La fede e una risposta istintiva ad aspetti dell'esistenza che non possiamo spiegare in altro modo: il vuoto morale che percepiamo nell'universo, la certezza della morte, il mistero dell'origine delle cose o il senso della nostra vita, o la sua assenza. Sono aspetti elementari e di straordinaria semplicita, ma i nostri stessi limiti ci impediscono di rispondere in modo univoco a queste domande e per ques.. | Carlos Ruiz Zafón | ||

| 6b500c9 | When I saw my friend kissing the woman he loved it occurred to me that this moment, this instant stolen from time and from God, was worth all the days of misery that had brought us to this place and the many others that were doubtless waiting for us on our return to life. And that everything that was decent and clean and pure in this world and everything for which it was worth living and breathing was in those lips, in those hands and in th.. | Carlos Ruiz Zafón | ||

| 162f608 | When he noticed that the patient was awake, he smiled at him. "Are you a God or the devil? the dying man once asked him. The stranger shrugged and thought about it. "A bit of both", he answered at last. "In principle, I'm an atheist," the patient informed him. "Although in fact I have a lot of faith", "Like so many. Rest now, my friend. Heaven can wait. And hell is too small for you"." | Carlos Ruiz Zafón | ||

| 624d552 | Uno no se da cuenta del vacio en el que ha dejado pasar el tiempo hasta que vive de verdad. A veces la vida, no los dias quemados, es solo un instante, un dia, una semana o un mes. Uno sabe que esta vivo porque duele, porque de repente todo importa y porque cuando ese breve momento se acaba, el resto de su existencia se transforma en un recuerdo al que intenta regresar en vano mientras le queda aliento en el cuerpo. | Carlos Ruiz Zafón | ||

| 7c409e2 | Nos miramos en la penumbra, buscando palabras que no existian. Aquella fue la primera vez en que me di cuenta de que mi padre envejecia y de que sus ojos, ojos de niebla y de perdida, siempre miraban atras. Se incorporo y descorrio las cortinas para dejar entrar la tibia luz del alba. | Carlos Ruiz Zafón | ||
| b1e669e | Going over all this in my mind, it occurred to me that perhaps the papier-mache world that I accepted as real was only a stage setting. Much like the arrival of Spanish trains, in those stolen years you never knew when the end of childhood was due. | Carlos Ruiz Zafón | ||

| 5a99096 | Where my school friends saw notches on incomprehensible pages, I saw light, streets, and people. Words and the mystery of their hidden science fascinated me, and I saw in them a key with which I could unlock a boundless world, a safe haven from that home, those streets and those troubled days in which I could sense that only a limited fortune awaited me. | Carlos Ruiz Zafón | ||

| ddf087e | Fables] teach us that human beings learn and absorb ideas and concepts through narrative, through stories, not through lessons or theoretical speeches. This is what any of the religious texts teach us. They're all tales about characters who must confront life and overcome obstacles, figures setting off on a journey of spiritual enrichment through exploits and revelations. All holy books are, above all, great stories whose plots deal with th.. | Carlos Ruiz Zafón | ||
