Alt J Quotes

And if you don't cook, what's the point of living, really?

Once you start opening your mind to the wonders of the kitchen, once you start asking what’s really going on inside your food while you cook it, you’ll find that the questions keep coming and coming, and that the answers will become more and more fascinating.

But a part of sobriety is learning to deal with boredom, which in time you realize is more like simplicity.

There are no shortcuts. There are no hacks. There is just hard work and life experience and two different kinds of omelets, neither one of which is better than the other, just as long as they’re well made.

Ho jeg har visst alt faat Vaaren i mig, jeg bruker min Qvind som en gale, Fan steike mig, og æter langt bedre end på længe!(1912, brev til J.M. Køhler Olsen i Bergen)

Sihri' tutarlı bir biçimde kullanmadım; Elf kraliçesi Galadriel hikayede, bu sözcüğü, Düşman'ın da Elflerin de hem araçları hem de harekatı hakkında kullanan kafası karışık Hobbit'lere serzenişte bulunmakta haklı. bu benim için geçerli değil, çünkü ikincisinin karşılığı olan bir sözcük yok. Fakat Elfler burada farkı ortaya koyuyorlar. Onların 'sihri' insanın sınırlılıklarından kurtulduğu Sanat: çok daha az çabayla, daha hızlı, daha karmaşık. Ve bu edimlerinin nesnesi Güç değil Sanat, Yaratının tahakküm altına alınması değil, alt-yaratıdır.

Er det sant at du gjorde rent i huset mitt?” spurte hun. Å pokker… Det eneste svaret han hadde på det, var alt for avslørende. “Er det?” “Ja. Jeg gjorde det” “Jeg kommer til å klemme deg nå” Z stivnet, men før han rakk å komme seg unna, la armene hennes seg rundt midjen hans og hodet la seg mot den nakne brystkassen.

Because the specific heat capacity of water is higher than that of say, iron, and lower than that of air, the same amount of energy will raise the temperature of a gram of iron by almost ten times as much and a gram of air by only half as much. The higher the specific heat capacity of a given material, the more energy it takes to raise the temperature of that material by the same number of degrees.

Man muß alt werden [...] und Geld genug haben, seine Erfahrungen bezahlen zu können. Jedes Bonmot, das ich sage, kostet mir eine Börse voll Gold; eine halbe Million meines Privatvermögens ist durch meine Hände gegangen, um das zu lernen, was ich jetzt weiß, nicht allein das ganze Vermögen meines Vaters, sondern auch mein Gehalt und mein bedeutendes literarisches Einkommen seit mehr als funfzig Jahren. Außerdem habe ich anderthalb Millionen zu großen Zwecken von fürstlichen Personen ausgeben sehen, denen ich nahe verbunden war und an deren Schritten, Gelingen und Mißlingen ich teilnahm. Es ist nicht genug, daß man Talent habe, es gehört mehr dazu, um gescheit zu werden; man muß auch in großen Verhältnissen leben und Gelegenheit haben, den spielenden Figuren der Zeit in die Karten zu sehen und selber zu Gewinn und Verlust mitzuspielen.

Science is not about big words. It’s not about lab coats and safety goggles, and it’s definitely not about trying to make yourself sound fancy. Science is not an end in itself, but a path. It’s a method to help you discover the underlying order of the world around you and to use those discoveries to help you predict how things will behave in the future.

My love it's very late. 'Til morning comes let's tessellate.

Poate că dacă aș fi ajuns la Viena, Roma sau Paris as fi găsit întrebuințare acolo, cum știu multe limbi și am destule cunoștințe în diferite domenii de activitate, putând face multe. Dar probabil că aș fi silit să iau o atitudine contra țării, să fiu speaker sau redactor al propagandei americane, ceea ce nu-mi convine pentru că niciodată nu am fost în slujba nici unui stat, nu cred în imperialism, deci nu pot fi sluga acelora care le susțin. Dar eu știu că există altă America și alt Occident, cu valori artistice și culturale în care cred și despre care se poate scrie din ce mai puțin scrie la noi. Asta mă doare. Trăim într-o epocă de luptă crâncenă și definitivă, în care sunt puse în joc viitoarele forme și experimente de organizare ale societății mondiale, comuniste sau capitaliste. Sperăm într-o împăcare, în sensul că americanii vor renunța la capitalismul acerb, trecând la un fel de socio-democrație mai echitabilă, iar rușii îmblânzindu-și atitudinile față de artă și cultură, lăsând joc liber individualismului în noua organizare colectivistă a lumii. Un fel de socialism cu respectul drepturilor spirituale ale individului, cam cum il vede J. B. Priestley. Dar acum lucrurile acestea nu sunt posibile. Trebuie să fim sau cu unii, sau cu alții. Cum nu plec și nici nu am încercat să plec sau să mă gândesc la plecarea din țară, cum deci ramân aici, va trebui să mă adaptez realitățile din partea aceasta a lumii, pe care nu o iubesc in totul. Nu mă supără colectivizarea economică și egalizarea socială, dimpotrivă. Dar, Doamne, de ce e nevoie pentru realizarea acestora de brutalitate în relațiile între oameni, de prigonirea artei, științei, culturii, de un conformism dogmatic? Ei nu înțeleg sau nu vor să înțeleagă că așa cum matematicile nu sunt marxiste si nici capitaliste, arta mare e dincolo de social, chiar dacă și conținutul e important si trebuie să exprime omenia. Humanismul meu e aproape de teorile celor de stânga, dar nu identic, mai ales în practica actuală.

Maybe a film is just a diversion, a way to feel briefly better about our lives, the limitations and disappointments that define us, the things we cannot change. Most of us leave the theater, after all, and just go on being ourselves. Still, maybe something else is possible. Maybe in the moment when the music swells, and our hearts beat faster, and we feel overcome by the beauty of an image—in the instant that we feel newly brave and noble, and ready to be different, braver versions of ourselves—that we are who we really are.

Sure, you don’t think you’re going to be doing a lot of boning in your kitchen. . . . Wait, that came out wrong. Let’s start over:

important to cook fillings without cheese before you add them to the eggs, or they will not heat up

I love my wife, but burgers are my mistress.

But at its most official heart, the U.S. Dollar is simply the “I.O.U. a Dollar’s worth of Tax credit” promise of our sovereign Federal Government.

Love is a Pharaoh and he's boning me.

Triforce of cooking: good ingredients + good equipment + good technique = good food.

Laminated, or tri-ply, pans offer the best of both worlds. Generally, they are constructed with a layer of aluminum sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel. They have the high density of a stainless steel pan, with the great conductivity of aluminum, making them the pan of choice for most home cooks (including me!).

Steve Bannon, for example, is an alt-right hero to the pro-Trump white working class. Bannon rose from Breitbart News editor to running Trump’s victorious 2016 presidential campaign. From there he became Trump’s White House Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor. His politics derive from his father’s experience losing his life savings during the 2008 financial crisis. According to Bannon, the elites (inside and outside American government) who built the global capitalist system emerged from the wreckage unscathed—often even richer—while working-class heroes like his father were decimated. Bannon doesn’t hide his intent: “Lenin wanted to destroy the state, and that’s my goal too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of today’s establishment.” These sentiments, more than anything else, explain the Trump phenomenon. For what better vessel is there in the entire world for accomplishing this goal—for bringing everything crashing down—than Donald J. Trump? That’s why Trump’s behavior in office was okay. That’s why his lies about the election are just fine. That’s why the January 6 riot didn’t matter. Not because Trump’s base thinks those things are good for America … but because they know those things are bad for America. Trump has come. And he will go. But what does it say about the underlying state of the American polity that a politician whose central platform is lying about elections is the unrivaled champion of one of the two major political parties? Something broad and deep is afoot. Something pernicious. Something likely to last.

the American dining public what it wants. And what most Americans want is the elements of Japanese culture that they like—the nice-looking things; the tender, palatable foods; the weird stuff, but nothing icky or slimy. What most Americans want isn’t Japanese: what they want is Japanese-y.

Amoureux de cette aimée seulement après avoir refusé la condition axiomatique de l'existence en dénonçant les auteurs de mes jours de la même manière que j'ai tué le Créateur je me donne la liberté de ne pas aimer une image toute faite par le Créateur

Dans ce monde latéral où je me sens jeté sans savoir quelle erreur j'ai commise (même sur le plan précaire de la culpabilité) sans savoir ce qui m'est arrivé, ni pourquoi je ne ressens que les effets catastrophiques de l'erreur, l'avalanche d'agressions et de cruautés, probablement nécessaire que le monde extérieur déclenche contre moi

moist air is denser than dry air.

Gradul de inflamare în creier și corp joacă un rol important pentru cât de gravă va fi o boală precum Alzheimer, astm sau diabet. Deși adesea de natură psihologică, stresul face un rău și mai mare inflamației, aparent parte a unui răspuns biologic străvechi, cu scopul de a avertiza asupra pericolului care va dispune de resursele corpului pentru însănătoșire. (Un alt semn al acestui răspuns: faptul că vrei să te odihnești când ai gripă). În vreme ce, în preistorie, amenintările care declanșau aceste reacții erau fizice, ca de exemplu ceva ce ne piutea mânca, în zilele noastre, cauzele psihologice sunt elementul declanșator - un partener furios sau un comentariu critic. Cu toate acestea, reacțiile corpului sunt aceleași, inclusiv supărarea emoțională.

Trump’s evangelical supporters should confront these three disturbing facts: 1) Only white evangelicals voted for Trump in high numbers; 2) Racists, like the alt-right movement, supported Trump and have been energized by his presidency; 3) Trump mobilized racist sentiments in his campaign.

A key conclusion is that the imaginary constructions to which the Alt-Right professes loyalty—the “historic American nation,” the “Real America,” a “white ethnostate on the North American continent,” a “Federal American Republic”—have no more relation to the actually existing United States than did the “American Soviet system” dreamed of by the Stalinists. If we think of the old CPUSA as anti-American in the sense that it radically rejected American political philosophy and declared loyalty to a utopian ideal rather than to the United States, then the Alt-Right is at least as anti-American as the Communists ever were.

Escher wanna draw shit I pop clips Bitch, I draw my piece to my hip

Alt-Right ideology involves a root-and-branch rejection of all the central propositions of American political philosophy and of liberal democracy in general. Rights, political equality, the rule of law, electoral democracy, and constitutionalism are all discarded, sometimes with certain caveats, often with disgust. The Alt-Right is not merely a more right-wing and politically incorrect version of conventional American conservatism; rather, it is a radical and intemperate break with the country’s entire political tradition and order.

Such, then, was the political analysis that the proto-Alt-Rightist paleoconservatives bequeathed to the early twenty-first century. Liberal democracy, they argued, is totalitarian, despotic, illiberal, and in reality undemocratic. Hard regimes on the model of fascist Italy, the Soviet Union, and Nazi Germany are alternatives worth considering, they said. Political ideas are mere tools of elite domination, with the sole exception of far-right ideas, which are pure science and mere realism. Racial and ethnic differences trump human rights and the rule of law. Politics is no more than an unending power struggle in which values count for nothing and victory for everything.

the very center of things, what makes the Dollars go round is that we’re all in debt to the sovereign government, and can only cancel that debt with the sovereign’s I.O.U.s.

I know you as a patriotic, decent man who admires and respects truth. But you have fallen deeper and deeper into this dark vortex of alt-right misinformation. Please ask yourself: are you willing to give up your principles, your standards, and basic common decency for … Donald Trump.
