| 0186df5 | Estou apaixonado por ti e sei que o amor e apenas um grito no vazio e que o esquecimento e inevitavel e que estamos todos condenados e que chegara o dia em que todo o nosso esforco sera devolvido ao po, e eu sei que o sol ira engolir a unica Terra que alguma vez teremos, e eu estou apaixonado por ti. | John Green | ||
| 84e75fa | Diante deste edificio aprendo uma coisa sobre o medo. Aprendo que nao se trata de fantasias ociosas de alguem que talvez queira que lhe aconteca algo de importante, mesmo que a coisa importante seja horrivel. Nao e o nojo de ver um estranho morto (...) . Este medo nao tem comparacao com qualquer medo por que alguma vez tenha passado. Esta e a emocao mais primaria, o sentimento que estava connosco antes mesmo de existir-mos (...). Foi este m.. | John Green | ||

| 4974f3c | A luz do crepusculo fazia brilhar a terra vermelha, de maneira que as suas dimensoes se aprofundavam. Uma pedra, um poste, uma construcao adquiriam mais profundidade e mais consistencia entao do que a luz do dia; e todos esses objetos se tornavam estranhamente mais individuais: um poste era mais essencialmente um poste; elevava-se com mais firmeza da terra e destacava-se melhor do campo de milho que lhe servia de fundo. E as plantas adqui.. | John Steinbeck | ||
| 4a90d21 | Forse possiamo cominciare daccapo, in una terra nuova e ricca - in California, dove cresce la frutta. Cominceremo da capo. Ma noi non possiamo cominciare. Solo i neonati possono cominciare. Tu e io... be', noi siamo quello ch'e stato. La rabbia di un momento, le mille immagini, questo siamo. Questa terra, questa terra rossa, e noi; e gli anni di carestia e gli anni di polvere e gli anni d'inondazione siamo noi. Non possiamo cominciare dacc.. | John Steinbeck | ||
| 7789ae8 | Os pequenos fazendeiros observam como as dividas sobem insensivelmente, como o crescer da mare. Cuidaram das arvores sem vender a colheita, podaram e enxertaram e nao puderam colher as frutas. Este pequeno pomar, para o ano que vem, pertencera a uma grande companhia, pois o proprietario sera sufocado por dividas. Este parreiral passara a ser propriedade do banco.

| 63d6383 | Erano affamati, ed erano agguerriti. Avevano sperato di trovare un focolare, e trovarono solo odio. Okie: i proprietari li odiavano, perche i proprietari si sapevano fiacchi mentre gli Okie erano forti, si sapevano sazi mentre gli Okie erano affamati; e forse i proprietari avevano saputo dai loro nonni quanto sia facile rubare la terra a uomo fiacco quando sei agguerrito e affamato e armato. | John Steinbeck | ||
| 0643848 | Un delitto cosi abietto che trascende la comprensione. Una piaga che nessun pianto potrebbe descrivere. Un fallimento che annienta ogni nostro successo. La terra e feconda i fiori sono ordinati, i tronchi sono robusti, la frutta e matura. E i bambini affetti da pellagra devono morire perche da un'arancia non si riesce a cavare profitto.

Stephen watched them as they went mournfully about the market, these men whose mouths were perpetually closed lest they spoke some forbidden word, whose eyes were perpetually averted from forbidden sights, whose hands refrained at every moment from some forbidden act. It seemed to him that they did little more than half-exist. They migh.. | Susanna Clarke | ||
| 8f8f885 | His posturing for independence came to its logical climax when in 1966 he ordered all foreign troops out of France, arguing that in the event of war, he would not let French soldiers bow to American command as they had been forced to do in World War Two. The way de Gaulle announced his new policy has gone down in history. Apparently the General phoned the American President, Lyndon Johnson, to tell him that France was opting out of NATO, an.. | Stephen Clarke | ||

When Stephens and Catherwood crossed into Mexico, they camped in the village of Comitan, which was called Balun Canan, the Place of Nine Stars, by the Maya prior to the Spanish invasion. Chinkultic is about thirty-five miles from Comitan; however, Stephens and Catherwood never passed that way. The | Ardy Sixkiller Clarke | ||

| 38c8500 | Anglo-Saxon and Franco-Norman came into closer contact, and the linguistic survival techniques on both sides led to the emergence of a supple, adaptable language in which you could invent or half-borrow words and didn't have to worry so much about whether your sentences had the right verb endings or respected certain strict rules of word order and style (as this sentence proves). The result was the earliest form of what would become English.. | Stephen Clarke | ||

| ce78d54 | The second oracle (2 Sam. 7:8-16) takes a different tact. Rather than appealing to the past as justification for denying David's request, it looks to the future. In this oracle, YHWH explains to David that he will not build a house for YHWH, rather YHWH will build a house for him. This juxtaposition makes use of a play on words in Hebrew, where the Hebrew word for house (bayit) can convey both a "temple" and a "dynasty." Because David i.. | Charles River Editors | ||
