| 47e10fa | Todos os sistemas de trabalho que dependem da coacao de uma mao de obra, forcando-a a aceitar condicoes mas e remuneracao injusta, reconheceram a eficacia de manter essa mao de obra exausta para impedir que ela se rebele. | Naomi Wolf | ||
| 4d132bc | Quando se atrai a atencao para as caracteristicas fisicas de lideres mulheres, essas lideres podem ser repudiadas por serem bonitas demais ou feias demais. O resultado liquido e impedir que as mulheres se identifiquem com as questoes. Se a mulher publica for estigmatizada como sendo "bonita", ela sera uma ameaca, uma rival, ou simplesmente uma pessoa nao muito seria. Se for criticada por ser "feia", qualquer mulher se arrisca a ser descrita.. | Naomi Wolf | ||
| 5c0b6df | I should rather have you than a heap of gold, even if it were very comfortable to sleep on," Temeraire said. "I do not mind the deck." | Naomi Novik | ||
| b5f5406 | Jerzy was lying in their bed. It was a heavy clumsy thing made of small logs jointed together, but in this case that was all to the better. He had been tied hand and foot to the posts, and ropes were bound over his middle and under the whole bedframe. The ends of his toes were blackened and the nails were peeling off, and there were open sores across him where the ropes rubbed his body. He was pulling on them and making the noise, his tongu.. | Naomi Novik | ||
| 84ca166 | The French seized his arms and put a blade to his throat, calling to Eroica, "Geben Sie oben," -- | Naomi Novik | ||
| 97c1803 | And if you have been lying about it," Iskierka put in, having roused enough from her napping to follow the conversation, with slitted eyes, "you may be quite sure you will all be sorry: if anything has happened to my egg, I will burn everything between here and whatever house Napoleon is hiding in, and then I will set *that* on fire, too." | threats | Naomi Novik | |
| 7803811 | after supper Laurence would go to sit outside and read to him by the light of a lantern. He had never been a great reader himself, but Temeraire's pleasure in books was so great as to be infectious, and Laurence could not but think with satisfaction of the dragon's likely delight in the new book, which spoke in great detail about gemstones and their mining, despite his own complete lack of interest in the subject. | Naomi Novik | ||
| c2c40b8 | there is no sense your trying to put out sakura blossoms, when you are a bamboo. | Naomi Novik | ||
| 1dbb7a2 | Dragon intelligence was a mystery to men who made a study of the subject; he had no idea how much the dragon would hear or understand, but thought it better to avoid the risk of giving offense. | Naomi Novik | ||
| c91d181 | he thought how little the rest of the world should matter to him, when he was secure in the good opinion of those he valued most, and in the knowledge that he was doing his duty. | Naomi Novik | ||
| 6a51c54 | We may meet again; the world is not after all so very large a place." He" | Naomi Novik | ||
| 5423623 | So I put together a street-going rig and came up with the courier. | Naomi Novik | ||
| 509c9a6 | This wasn't about truth at all. The court didn't want truth, the king didn't want truth. Any truth I could give them, they could ignore as easily as the rest. It wouldn't change their minds. | Naomi Novik | ||
| 28f8c58 | There's something nearby," she said. "Something up ahead." The captain heard her and glanced back. "Something dangerous?" "Something dead," Kasia said, and dropped her eyes to her saddle, her hands clenched on the reins." | Naomi Novik | ||
| 061a06d | Laurence could make no real quarrel with the aims, which were natural and just; but England was at war, after all, and he was conscious, as Temeraire was not, of the impudence in demanding concessions from their own Government under such circumstances: very like mutiny. Yet | Naomi Novik | ||
| 1782451 | Wat heb je nu weer gedaan, stommeling? - De Draak | Naomi Novik | ||
| 202791f | Onderweg was het Woud van me weg geweken, alsof het bang was dat ik de spreuk anders weer zou opzeggen. Fulmia. | Naomi Novik | ||
| 14d4edd | De Draak keerde zich weer naar me om. 'Je bent er dus in geslaagd manschappen hierheen te halen,' merkte hij sarcastisch op. | Naomi Novik | ||
| 31370b5 | Do you think I will be able to breathe fire or spit poison?" Temeraire asked. "I am not sure how I could tell; I tried, but I only blew air." | Naomi Novik | ||
| 55f9f9d | Justice is expensive," Tharkay said. "That is why there is so little of it, and that reserved for those few with enough money and influence to afford it." | Naomi Novik | ||
| d2a7afd | Maximus coughed a while longer, but in the middle of the night towards the end of the week, they were all woken by a terrible squealing, distant shrieks of terror and fire; in a panic they burst out from the tents to discover Maximus attempting guiltily to sneak unnoticed back into the parade grounds, with as much success as was to be expected in this endeavor, and carrying in his already-bloodied jaws a spare ox. This he hurriedly swallowe.. | funny humor maximus sneaking | Naomi Novik | |
| b3a4710 | Your Majesty, I am a soldier, not a statesman; and I have no great philosophy but that I love my country. I came because it was my duty as a Christian and a man; now it is my duty to return. | duty honesty inspirational soldier | Naomi Novik | |
| 97b73af | Well, luck is nothing to sneeze at, either; we would not get very far if luck were against us, | Naomi Novik | ||
| dcf1b1b | Not a hundred feet away the river roared over a cliff's-edge, and were weren't really leaves, even if I'd been careful to forget that. | forget leaves magic river waterfall | Naomi Novik | |
| 62c29e9 | That man with my brother is an envoy | Naomi Novik | ||
| 120de13 | Our people were alone here a long time", she said, and I wondered, what was long to a tree? A thousand years, two thousand, ten? Endless generations, the roots growing deeper every one. "We began to gorget how to be people. We dwindled away little by little. When the sorcerer-king came with his people, my sister let them come into the valley. She thought they could be renewed, and teach them in turn; we could give each other life. But they.. | Naomi Novik | ||
| 30653b6 | I'll come with you," Kasia said, and linked her arm in mine to support me: she could tell I needed the help, without a word said." | Naomi Novik | ||
| a423eda | Si no quieres que alguien se muera, no lo aporrees una y otra vez en la cabeza. | Naomi Novik | ||
| 4e6fdcc | Nuestro sino es marcharnos [...]. No hemos de quedarnos para siempre. | Naomi Novik | ||
| 86973b1 | Que hay, aparte de la gente, a lo que merezca la pena aferrarse? | Naomi Novik | ||
| 59e27b6 | Recordaba lo que no debia, y habia olvidado demasiado. Recordaba como matar y como odiar, y se le habia olvidado como crecer. | Naomi Novik | ||
| 303c001 | Su nombre sabia a fuego y a alas, a volutas de humo, a sutileza y a fuerza, y al rasposo susurro de las escamas. | Naomi Novik | ||
| 1cb8dc0 | as if truth didn't mean anything without someone to share it with; you could shout truth into the air forever, and spend your life doing it, if someone didn't come and listen. | Naomi Novik | ||
| b14ae7f | My girl, my brave girl had done this. She had gone and come back bloody and she had brought us back the spring. And she had come back, she had come back, which was worth all the spring and more for me. | Naomi Novik | ||
| dfb71e2 | Not a hundred feet away the river roared over a cliff's-edge, and we weren't really leaves, even if I'd been careful to forget that. | forget leaves magic river waterfall | Naomi Novik | |
| c49990f | Laurence considered the matter and could not find an answer for this. "I suppose, in all honesty, being aviators ourselves we cannot like the idea of putting a dragon to death, and so we have found an excuse for letting him live," he said finally. "And as our laws are meant for men, perhaps it is not wholly fair to enforce them upon him." "Oh, that I can well agree with," Temeraire said. "Some of the laws which I have heard make very little.. | Naomi Novik | ||
| 105f465 | You refused him," he said to me, almost angrily. "I'm not a fool, to take gifts from monsters," I said. "Where do you think its power comes from? Nothing like that comes without a price." He laughed, a little shrill and sharp. "Yes, the trick is to have someone else pay it for you," | Naomi Novik | ||
| 653bf84 | I put my fingers up to brush the fine links. Even lying on my skin, it still felt cool to the touch, and when I looked at myself in the mirror, in the glass I was not standing in my father's study. I was in a grove of dark winter trees, under a pale grey sky, and I could almost feel the snow falling onto my skin. | Naomi Novik | ||
| 3257b43 | It seems very strange that the ocean is full of things that one can eat as one likes, and on land everything seems to be spoken for," Temeraire said, disappointed." | Naomi Novik | ||
| 78daaf8 | it had the feeling of truth, of something that I'd always known and just hadn't ever put into words, or of explaining clearly and plainly something I'd never understood. | Naomi Novik | ||
| 16cac05 | I didn't feel I owed him beauty. | Naomi Novik | ||
| c245122 | It's like--it's gleaning in the woods. . . You have to pick your way through the thickets and the trees, and it's different every time. | Naomi Novik | ||
| 5b7e58e | It's very easy to claim you've summoned something that's invisible and incorporeal. | Naomi Novik |
