| 9dc8578 | The mouth is small but well shaped, kissable, musical | Jeffrey Eugenides | ||
| b427ead | Una bala por presion familiar. Una bala por predisposicion genetica. Una bala por malestar historico. Una bala por un impulso inevitable. Las otras dos balas son imposibles de nombrar, pero esto no quiere decir que las camaras estuvieran vacias. | Jeffrey Eugenides | ||
| b50554d | But it's mostly the act itself that brings relief, the self-forgetfulness, the diving and plunging into other lives. | Jeffrey Eugenides | ||
| 6d9930e | Zhegata idva predi og'nia. Smokinite, strupani na keia, nenatovareni navreme, zapochvat da se pekat, puskat mekhurcheta i sok. Sladkoto se smesva s mirizmata na dim. | Jeffrey Eugenides | ||
| d432d8f | Niakoga esenta zapochvashe s vseobshch grokhot visoko v koronite na d'rvetata. Posle listata se otk'svakha i se ponasiakha k'm zemiata v bezkraino izobilie, kr'zhakha i pliushchiakha, noseni ot techeniiata, siakash svet't si smeniashe kozhata. Nie gi ostaviakhme da se trupat. Namirakhme si izvinenie da stoim i da gledame kak s vseki izminal den klonite razkrivat vse po-golemi k'sove nebe. | Jeffrey Eugenides | ||
| 7a5aad5 | Tortenelmi teny, hogy az emberiseg 1913-ban bucsuzott el ember-mivoltatol. Ez volt az az ev, amikor Henry Ford gorgokre tette az autoit, es munkasait arra kenyszeritette, hogy atvegyek a futoszalag sebesseget. A munkasok eleinte lazadozni probaltak. Falkakban hagytak ott a gyarat, mert keptelenek voltak a testuket az uj idok tempojahoz idomitani. Azota megoldottuk ezt is: mara tulajdonkeppen akar velunk szuletettnek is nevezhetjuk ezt a tem.. | Jeffrey Eugenides | ||

| a33ea61 | Ez is olyan, mint a kepek a muzeumban - allapitotta meg -, csak arra probalnak urugyet talalni, hogy meztelen noket mutogassanak. | Jeffrey Eugenides | ||
| 6a39cd6 | A szulok dolga az, hogy fizikai vonasokat hagyjanak orokul gyerekeiknek, de az en meggyozodesem az, hogy ezen felul meg egy csomo mas mindent is athagyomanyoznak: mozgatorugokat, forgatokonyveket, de meg akar sorsokat is. | Jeffrey Eugenides | ||
| 949f789 | It was always embarrassing when professors assigned their own books. Even Madeleine, who found all the reading hard going, could tell that Zipperstein's contribution to the field was reformulative and second-tier. | professors textbooks | Jeffrey Eugenides | |

Megszolal a Giulia kurtje, es a hajo lassan elhagyja a partot. A szines fonalak megfeszulnek a viz felett. Mindenki ordit, hadonaszik, bucsuszavak harsannak, csecsemoket emelnek a magasba egy bucsupillanatra, amire egyikuk sem fog emlekezni. Felzugnak .. | Jeffrey Eugenides | ||
| e6c9f49 | Ezekben az idokben meg meg lehetett allapitani az emberek nemzeti hovatartozasat a szaguk alapjan. Dezdemona a hatan fekve, behunyt szemmel is felismerte az egyik oldalan fekvo szomszedja arulkodo hagymaszagarol, hogy csak magyar lehet, a masikerol meg, akinek nyershus-szaga volt, azt, hogy ormeny. | Jeffrey Eugenides | ||

| 3f0ad44 | Why can't men communicate? (Because they had to be quiet on the hunt.) Why do women communicate so well? (Because they had to call out to one another where the fruits and berries were.) Why can men never find things around the house? (Because they have a narrow field of vision, useful in tracking prey.) Why can women find things so easily? (Because in protecting the nest they were used to scanning a wide field.) Why can't women parallel-par.. | Jeffrey Eugenides | ||
| b0d0e0a | Nagyapamnak viszont sokkal szornyubb valosaghoz kellett hozzaszoknia. Fogta a kezemet, hogy el ne essen, a fak es bokrok jobbra-balra korcsolyaztak szedulo szeme elott, es ekozben hirtelen raebredt, hogy a tudat valoszinuleg nem egyeb a biologia egyik balesetenel. Bar sosem volt vallasos, a lelekben mindig hitt: abban, hogy van bennunk egy ero, ami tuleli testunk halalat.

| 4378d3b | It was possible to feel superior to other people and like a misfit at the same time. | Jeffrey Eugenides | ||
| 6bce309 | All I know is this: despite my androgenized brain, there's an innate feminine circularity in the story I have to tell. In any genetic history. I'm the final clause in a periodic sentence, and that sentence begins a long time ago, in another language, and you have to read it from the beginning to get to the end, which is my arrival. | Jeffrey Eugenides | ||

| 0c6ca93 | But even as we make these conclusions we feel our throats plugging up, because they are both true and untrue. So much has been written about the girls in the newspapers, so much has been said over backyard fences, or related over the years in psychiatrists' offices, that we are certain only of the insufficiency of explanations. | Jeffrey Eugenides | ||

| 2c14b36 | Callie rises up inside me, wearing my skin like a loose robe. She sticks her little hands into the baggy sleeves of my arms. She inserts her chimp's feet through the trousers of my legs. On the sidewalk I'll feel her girlish walk take over, and the movement brings back a kind of emotion, a desolate and gossipy sympathy for the girls I see coming home from school. | Jeffrey Eugenides | ||
| b6c1a10 | Callie rises up inside me, wearing my skin like a loose robe. She sticks her little hands into the baggy sleeves of my arms. She inserts her chimp's feet through the trousers of my legs. On the sidewalk I'll feel her girlish walk take over, and the movement brings back a kind of emotion, a desolate and gossipy sympathy for the girls I see coming home from school. This continues for a few more steps. Calliope's hair tickles the back of my th.. | Jeffrey Eugenides | ||

| 7d32841 | Part of my interest was zoological. I's never seen a creature with so many freckles before. A Big Bang had occurred, originating at the bridge of her nose, and the force of this explosion had sent galaxies hurtling and drifting every end of her curved, warm-blooded universe. There were clusters of freckles on her forearms and wrists, an entire Milky Way spreading across her forehead, even a few sputtering quasars flung into the wormholes of.. | Jeffrey Eugenides | ||
| 9869e48 | There's a thing they've figured out about love. Scientifically. They've done studies to find out what keeps couples together. Do you know what it is? It isn't getting along. Isn't having money, or children, or a similar outlook on life. It's just checking in with each other. Doing little kindnesses for each other. At breakfast, you pass the jam. Or, on a trip to New York City, you hold hands for a second in a smelly subway elevator. You ask.. | love relationship | Jeffrey Eugenides | |
