| 9f08032 | Letelier had been Chile's Defense Minister when Salvador Allende was overthrown and murdered by the junta generals in September of 1973. The junta generals had gotten into power with the help of the CIA and David Phillips's Track II program.* More than 10,000 were shot or tortured to death in the years following the coup.

| 2d601bb | Fourteen of the world's twenty biggest cities are currently experiencing water scarcity or drought. Four billion people, it is estimated, already live in regions facing water shortages at least one month each year--that's about two-thirds of the planet's population. Half a billion are in places where the shortages never end. Today, at just one degree of warming, those regions with at least a month of water shortages each year include just a.. | David Wallace-Wells | ||

| 65d7829 | So she was a girl. Big fat green scaly deal. She could still whip any of her Companions in a fight, she could still out-spit, out-drink, and out-cuss most Gorgorians, and she even understood how to get her own way at Council sessions. You just kept chopping heads off until people saw your point of view. The only disadvantage she could see to being a girl was some moron would always turn up and start calling you a spunky little vixen. | Lawrence Watt-Evans | ||

| e899b75 | Isn't it amazing how easily you can cheat yourself out of the right choices by convincing yourself that you "deserve" the wrong ones? It's highly illogical when you think about it. You deserve a better life, you deserve better health, and you deserve to lose weight." | Phillip C. McGraw | ||
| 193b6e1 | Life experiences, mental illness, drugs, greed, environment, and poor role-modeling can all forge damaged people and can generate a darkness, an exploitiveness, in the way they approach life. Whatever their genesis, there are people in your life (and mine) who will hurt you if you let them. | Phillip C. McGraw | ||
| a97ae7b | My Commitment Contract I, ______________________________ (your name), commit to follow the steps and timeline I have laid out in order to achieve my realistic weight loss goals. Just as in life, this diet is not going to be a success-only journey. Therefore, if I deviate along the way, I promise not to beat myself up or use it as an excuse to fail. Instead, I will get right back on track. I promise not to make excuses or to sabotage myself .. | Phillip C. McGraw | ||

| f231739 | How often, for example, have you said or heard someone else say, "All I really want in this life is to be happy"? It sounds like a commonsense answer, but as a life goal, it is destined for failure. My dog, Barkley, wants to be happy. Does that mean that the two of you want the same things? I don't think so. I'll bet everything I own that you and Barkley define happiness very differently. So unless you're willing to settle for someone scrat.. | Phillip C. McGraw | ||

| e1062dd | Now ask yourself if you're really going to spend the rest of your life on one of those ridiculous diets. The honest answer is, no, you won't. So, that means you might lose weight while you're on it, but you'll probably gain it back when you're off it because you haven't made any real lifestyle changes. | Phillip C. McGraw | ||

Gradually, as his family learnt how to anticipate his few needs and how to respond, they ceased to notice his silence -his manner of communication seemed full and rich enough to them: he no more needed to converse than Aunt Mira's cat did. | silence silence-communication silence-speaks | Anita Desai | |

| 1455a74 | Although it was shadowy and dark, Bim could see as well as by the clear light of day that she felt only love and yearning for them all, and if there were hurts, these gashes and wounds in her side that bled, then it was only because her love was imperfect and did not encompass them thoroughly enough, and because it had flaws and inadequacies and did not extend to all equally. ...

| 22c3529 | With her inner eye she saw how her own house and its particular history linked and contained her as well as her whole family with all their separate histories and experiences -- not binding them within some dead and airless cell but giving them the soil in which to send down their roots, and food to make them grow and spread, reach out to new experiences and new lives, but always drawing from the same soil, the same secret darkness.

| 233ed6c | Old Delhi does not change. It only decays. My students tell me it is a great cemetery, every house a tomb. Nothing but sleeping graves. Now [i]New[/i] Delhi, they say is different. That is where things happen. The way they describe it, it sounds like a nest of fleas. So much happens there, it must be a jumping place. I never go. Baba never goes.

| df773b2 | That was the way life was: it lay so quiet, so still that you put your fingers out to touch it, to stroke it. Then it leapt up and struck you full in the face so that you spun about and spun about, gasping. The flames leapt up all around, rising by inches every minute, rising in rings. | trauma | Anita Desai | |
| de1a58e | Yet for a long time Bim continued to see her, was certain that she saw her: the shrunken little body naked, trailing a torn shred of nightie, a wisp of pubic hair, as she slipped surreptitiously along the hedge, head bent low as if she hoped no one would notice her as she hurried toward the well. Bim would catch her breath and shut her eyes before opening them again to stare wildly at the hedge and find only the tassels of the malaviscus da.. | Anita Desai | ||

| f111243 | The well then contained death as it once contained merely water, frogs and harmless floating things. The horror of that death by drowning lived in the area behind the carvanda hedge like a mad relation, a family scandal or a hereditary illness waiting to re-emerge. It was a blot, a black and stinking blot. | Anita Desai | ||
| 41643a6 | Soon they grew tall, soon they grew strong. They wrapped themselves around her, smothering her in leaves and flowers. She laughed at the profusion, the beauty of this little grove that was the whole forest to her, the whole world. If they choked her, if they sucked her dry of substance, she would give in without any sacrifice of will -- it seemed in keeping with nature to do so. In the end they would swarm over her, reach up above her, towe.. | aunt-mira mira-masi | Anita Desai | |
| 30964ec | Everything in the house turned damp; the blue fur of mildew crept furtively over any object left standing for the briefest length of time: shoes, bags, boxes, it consumed them all. The sheets on the bed were clammy when he got between them at night, and the darkness rang with the strident cacophony of the big tree crickets that had been waiting for this, their season. | Anita Desai | ||
| aa24446 | It was not spite or retaliation that made Tara abandon Bim -- it was the spider fear that lurked at the center of the web-world for Tara. Yet she did abandon Bim, it was true that she did. | Anita Desai | ||
| 68a60ff | Her drawing room that morning was much like any comfortable, slightly formal drawing room to be found in country houses throughout England: the paintings, hung on pale yellow walls, were better; the furniture, chintz-covered; the flowers, natural garden bouquets. It was charming. And so was she, as she swooped in from a room beyond. I had never seen pictures of her without any makeup, with just-washed hair and dressed in jeans and a white T.. | Larry King |
