– Anyu? Apu? Valaki? – kiáltottam, de a ház tök sötét volt. Amúgy a „valakit” nem tudom, miért mondtam, mert tuti, hogy ha a valaki visszaszólt volna, akkor szívrohamot kapok.
Laura Leiner (Remény (A Szent Johanna Gimi, #5))
Anyway, we get it. We all know what it’s like to roll with the cultural punches. Noora gets questioned about why she doesn’t wear a hijab. People wonder if Glory was adopted when she’s with her white dad. Hansani endures Mr. Apu accents—wrong country, for starters.
Emiko Jean (Tokyo Ever After (Tokyo Ever After, #1))
– Az egész nyolcadik évfolyamban azzal csúfoltak, hogy magángimibe csak nyomik járnak – mondtam, mire anyu végre felnézett. – Ez nem igaz! Apád is magángimnáziumba járt! – érvelt, mire mindketten átnéztünk a konyhapulton, a nappaliban ülő apu irányába. – Jó, ez nem volt jó példa – rázta meg a fejét anyu némi töprengés után.
Laura Leiner (Kezdet (A Szent Johanna Gimi, #1))
When speaking of the mighty Andes and the so-called "eyebrows" country at the range's eastern base- the Tropical Wet Forest region-I am first obliged to give homage to the Apu, the Mountain Lords, the ice-capped everlasting sovereigns of these great lands, on whose forested slopes manifests the most marvelous biological diversity.
Jonathon Miller Weisberger (Rainforest Medicine: Preserving Indigenous Science and Biodiversity in the Upper Amazon)
কোথায় শুটিং হবে, বাবারা?" প্রশ্নটা চুনিবালার। বললাম, "স্টুডিওতে নয়, একটা কুঁড়েঘরে। গল্পটা এক পুরুতঠাকুরের সংসার নিয়ে। সম্পর্কে আপনি তার দিদি। সেই বুড়ি দিদির ভূমিকায় আপনি অভিনয় করবেন। জায়গাটা এখান থেকে মাইল-পনেরো দূরে। গাড়িতে করে সরাসরি আপনাকে নিয়ে যাব আমরা, তারপর সন্ধের মধ্যেই কাজ শেষ করে এখানে আবার ফিরিয়ে দিয়ে যাব। ধকলটা আপনি সহ্য করতে পারবেন তো?" "তা পারব। বোধহয় ঠিক এই রকমের একটা সুযোগের জন্যেই শরীরের শেষ শক্তিটুকুকে ধরে রেখেছি।
Satyajit Ray (My Years With Apu)
Then the problems of film making began to fade into the background, and you found yourself belittling the importance of the camera. After all, it was merely an instrument. The important thing was the truth. Get at it and you had your great masterpieces. But how wrong we were! The moment you are on the set, this three-legged instrument took charge. Problems came thick and fast. Where to place the camera? High or low, near or far, on the dolly or on the ground? Was the thirty-five okay? Would you rather move back and use the fifty? Get too close to the action and the emotion of the scene spilled out -- get it too far back and the thing became cold and remote. To each problem you had to find a quick answer. If you delayed, the sun shifted and made nonsense of your uncertainty.
Satyajit Ray (My Years With Apu)
The big mesa is to this day regarded as an apu, an ancient spirit transfigured into rock.
Charles C. Mann (1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus)
We are the Siqqusim! We have stood by, waiting to take possession, and now you are ours. Yidde-oni! Engastrimathos du aba paren tares. We are Ob and Ab and Api and Apu. Our number is greater than the stars! We are more than infinity!
Brian Keene (The Rising)
Felújított játszótér. Fiatal apuka ül a homokozó szélén, kisfia nagy beleéléssel homokvárat épít. Megunja, apja mellé kucorodik: – Apu?! Átmehetek a másik homokozóba? Átmehetek a másik homokozóba, és játszhatom, hogy többen vagyunk?
Pál Dániel Levente (Az Úr Nyolcadik Kerülete)
Oma apu on paras apu.
Antti Tuuri (Gunnlaugr Käärmeenkielen saaga ja muita lyhytsaagoja)
You see people tends to think, Only few thoughts possibility's.
Apu-Hasan
It was not just going to college that had made the difference; nor the lectures of all his professors. It was the library, and its endless rows of books, that had made him a new man. He was so grateful to it. He could forget his troubles-even hunger and thirst- when he was in the library. The hours he spent there were spent in a sort of trance. An insatiable desire to find answers to the questions that rose in his mind made him read whatever he could find on a given subject. Sometimes he wanted to read about stars and planets; or he'd be seized by a desire to acquaint himself intimately with life in ancient Greece or Rome... to be swiftly followed by the poetry of Keats, or the life of Napoleon. Sometimes his passion for a subject stayed for just a couple of days. At other times, he spent months pursuing it. The small and the trivial had no place in his mind.
Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay
He explained that he and his brother had been teleported to Ganymede, one of Jupiter’s moons, where they had seen a city of incredible beauty and Charlie was transported to Apu in Alpha Centauri. In Apu the people live underground because the surface is uninhabitable.
Paul T. Hellyer (The Money Mafia: A World in Crisis)
Jól van ez így, gondolta az apu, minden visszatér a maga kezdeteihez, most látom, hogy valóban megállt az idő és tényleg új kor vette kezdetét, ám nekem csak a régihez van kulcsom, az új idő előttem bezárattatott, és én már nem élhetek ebben az új időben, mert az én helyem a régiben van, és az már halott.
Bohumil Hrabal
