La ausencia es al amor lo que el viento al aire, apaga al pequeño y aviva al grande
Becca Fitzpatrick (Silence (Hush, Hush, #3))
Outside of having kids, getting tattooed is one of the worst mistakes a person can make, yet somehow (much like having kids) millions of people do it every year.

La distancia es al amor lo que el viento al fuego: apaga el pequeño, pero aviva el grande.
Chufo Lloréns (Mar de fuego)
If everyone listened to me, the world would be a better place.
Aviva Moore
Countries, sovereignty, citizenship, and laws are all social constructions: abstractions invented by humans.
Aviva Chomsky (Undocumented: How Immigration Became Illegal)
Querer soluciona la soledad, pero entorpece la existencia porque anula el instinto de supervivencia, aviva el placer de hacernos daño y multiplica los problemas.
Elísabet Benavent (Mi isla)
If our goal is to slow migration, then the best way to do so is to work for a more equitable global system. But slowing migration is an odd goal, if the real problem is global inequality.
Aviva Chomsky ("They Take Our Jobs!": And 20 Other Myths about Immigration)
Después de todo, la mayor parte de las peleas no son obra de un instante, sino que se gestan durante días o semanas, a medida que cada lado del conflicto reúne la leña y aviva las llamas.
Victoria E. Schwab
When you have little, mine Aviva, you learn to take care. When you have much, you must accept that you could someday have little,” she would say. “To take care of something is to love it.
Gabrielle Zevin (Young Jane Young)
Like other discriminatory legislation in our country's history, immigration laws define and differentiate legal status on the basis of arbitrary attributes. Immigration laws create unequal rights. People who break immigration laws don't cause harm or even potential harm (unlike, for example, drunk driving, which creates the potential for harm even if no accident occurs). Rather, people who break immigration laws do things that are perfectly legal for others, but denied to them--like crossing a border or, even more commonly, simply exist.
Aviva Chomsky ("They Take Our Jobs!": And 20 Other Myths about Immigration)
Tal idea lo hacía aparecer a sus propios ojos como inferior a su amada de hoy, pero no con esa inferioridad que humilla, sino con la inferioridad del creyente para con su Dios, sentimiento que aviva y aumenta el amor, porque lo complica con la admiración y la gratitud.
Ignacio Manuel Altamirano (Clemencia, El Zarco y Navidad en las montañas)
So that's how we end up helping Aviva pick out a male escort. Even Darcy is impressed with Eugene's organization; each profile in the boy binder has two pictures, a head shot and a full-body shot, and lists essential information: age, school, height, weight, extracurriculars, hobbies, and dance ability (which ranges from "occasional Dance Dance Revolution participation" to "so good he could back up the Biebs").
Flynn Meaney (The Boy Recession)
Only Aviva’s long habit of taking the temperature of her own racism, of her biases and stereotypes about young black males (or about the iron-hard perdurance of their grandmothers) enabled Aviva to set aside, for the time being, her gut reaction—the boy was trouble—and admire Titus’s stillness.
Michael Chabon (Telegraph Avenue)
What is feminism from my point of view as a woman and as a human being?” Who fucking cares? you thought. “It’s the right every woman has to make her own choices. People don’t have to like your choices, Aviva, but you have a right to make them. Embeth Levin has a right to make them, too. Don’t expect a parade.” You

The Runaway Five's obvious influence is The Blues Brothers. During localization, their black and white suits were made more colorful to avoid legal action from Universal Pictures or the film's producers. When I told my wife Aviva about this, she admitted she had never seen The Blues Brothers film. Having grown up on a steady diet of Saturday Night Live-spawned movies, I told her that her innocence here was blasphemous. That night, we marveled together at James Brown's hair.
Ken Baumann (EarthBound (Boss Fight Books, #1))
Oh,” she suddenly realized. “Aviva, this is Riv, the new captain of my royal guard.” “Hello,” said Aviva. “I’m a cook, made of stone. Nice to meet you.
Shira Glassman (The Second Mango (Mangoverse, #1))
Aviva and I are outgrowing her.
Sarah Lynn Scheerger (Operation Frog Effect)
Everyone else bites pita, but with my darling, the pita bites back,” said Aviva.
Shira Glassman (The Second Mango (Mangoverse, #1))
The other sight was a voluptuous young woman, collapsed on the rug with her eyes closed, her clothing torn open and her limbs sticking out at odd angles. It was Aviva, and she wasn’t moving.
Shira Glassman (The Second Mango (Mangoverse, #1))
Part of becoming a mother is learning the fine art of dispassion. This is the ability to step back and evaluate what is going on with your child. It is a particularly useful skill to develop and will come in handy when your child is 6 and whining and crying over that toy she really wants in the grocery store or the cute kitten she wants to adopt. In a sense, you learn when to take the crying seriously and when to let it roll over you even as you provide a steady source of support and comfort. It requires the art of knowing your child’s cues and having confidence in your own judgment.

Sometimes, you fact-check and research the congressman’s speeches. The year is 1999, and you seem to be the only one in the office who knows how to perform an Internet search properly. “You’re a wizard, Aviva,” says the supervisor.
Gabrielle Zevin (Young Jane Young)
Don't make feeling better an option for yourself—make it your big dream. Don't make self-care an option; make it your daily lifetime commitment. Don't make becoming who you want to be—and loving who you are—goals for the future; start right now.

What’s your status now?” the legislator asked them. “I’m undocumented,” one Brazilian student answered, bewildered. “Why don’t you start the process to become a citizen?” he continued. “I can’t,” she explained. “Why not?” he asked, revealing his profound ignorance of immigration law. Just as the law forbids most residents of the Third World to travel here—by requiring visas, but refusing to grant them—it also forbids virtually all people who are undocumented to regularize their status.
Aviva Chomsky (Undocumented: How Immigration Became Illegal)
Usted conoce perfectamente la Riviera. Se nos aparece siempre bella, pero monótona; a todas horas ofrece un paisaje de tarjeta postal; indolentemente muestra unos colores cansados, una belleza dormida, perezosa que, indiferente, se deja acariciar por todas las miradas; una belleza casi oriental en su inmutable y suntuosa disposición. Pero a veces, muy raramente, esa belleza, se aviva, fulgura, avanza, por decirlo así, hacia nosotros, imperativa, adornada de colores vivos de encendidos destellos, esparciendo, victoriosa, sobre nosotros sus polícromos encantos, y arde toda su sensualidad.
Stefan Zweig
This study thereby proposes four elements that characterize Atlantic Jewish history: the demographic and economic centrality of Caribbean Jewry among hemispheric American Jewries; Portuguese Jewish hegemony among Jews in the Atlantic World; the era of slavery; and the triad of privileges, disabilities, and Jewish Emancipation.46 The Atlantic Jewish age was a time when the American Jewish epicenter was not in colonial North America or the United States but in the insular and circum-Caribbean; when for centuries most Atlantic Jews were of Iberian, and not of central or eastern European, origins; when most hemispheric American Jews lived in slave societies; and, beginning in the 1800s, when legal equality gradually began for the first time to be extended to Jews, replacing an earlier system predicated upon an ancien re´gime of dispensations and restrictions.

The English-speaking world developed a historical narrative known as the “Black Legend,” which portrayed the Spanish as cruel and backward conquistadores who murdered and plundered their way through the Caribbean and Latin America. The British, in contrast (according to their own account), were hard-working, forward-looking colonists (rather than colonizers) who industriously set up self-sufficient farming villages on empty lands.
Aviva Chomsky (Central America's Forgotten History: Revolution, Violence, and the Roots of Migration)
good listener whom you can talk to about anything, as many times as you need to, and confidentially   Time and space for solitude and reflection   Someone who is willing to guard your privacy   To feel protected, honored, and nurtured   Reassurance that you are doing a good job   Noncritical support and advice   Praise and encouragement   Time-out now and then for a bath, a shower, or a quiet moment   Good, healthy food   Plenty of rest   Respect for your emotions

personas terminan su vida mucho antes de morir, y sus vidas extendidas solo son una aparición. Tú diste tu último paso hace dos días… y ahora has encontrado la armonía eterna. DOCTORA MANCI SCHWALBOVA, por Alma Rosé, directora de la orquesta femenina de Auschwitz, que falleció el 5 de abril de 1944. A Helena Citron se le apareció su padre en sueños. Le dijo que su hermana Ruzinka se había hecho pasar por gentil, pero la habían encontrado. Al día siguiente, durante el almuerzo, Irena y otras chicas de Humenné miraban por la ventana de los barracones de clasificación y vieron a la hermana de Helena. Era muy raro, porque había llegado el transporte de Hungría. Lo primero que vieron fue el pelo rubio platino de Aviva y después a su madre Ruzinka, que además llevaba a un recién nacido en brazos. «¡Ven! ¡Ven! ¡Helena! —gritaban sus amigas—. Viene Ruzinka.» El sueño se había hecho realidad. Llena de angustia y tristeza, Helena se ocultó tras las montañas de ropa. No quería ver a su hermana antes de que muriera. ¿Para qué? Su mente y su corazón se debatían. ¿Cómo iba a sobrevivir a esto también? «Sabía que había desaparecido mi familia entera: mis tres hermanos, mis padres y mi hermana mayor. Pero ella era la última hermana que me quedaba.» Entonces algo

Perhaps nothing would have happened were it not the pit of summer, with a month and a half ahead. There is no air-conditioning in the apartment, and this year - the summer of 1969 - it seems something is happening to everyone but them. People are getting wasted at Woodstock and singing 'Pinball Wizard' and watching Midnight Cowboy, which none of the Gold children are allowed to see. They're rioting outside Stonewall, ramming the doors with uprooted parking meters, smashing windows and jukeboxes. They're being murdered in the most gruesome way imaginable, with chemical explosives and guns that can fire five hundred and fifty bullets in succession, their faces transmitted with horrifying immediacy to the television in the Gold's kitchen. 'They're walking on the motherf***ing moon,' said Daniel, who has begun to use this sort of language, but only at a safe remove from their mother. James Earl Ray is sentenced, and so is Sirhan Sirhan, and all the while the Golds play jacks or darts or rescue Zoya from an open pipe behind the oven, which she seems convinced is her rightful home. But something else created the atmosphere required for this pilgrimage: they are siblings, this summer, in a way they will never be again. Next year, Varya will go to the Catskills with her friend Aviva. Daniel will be immersed in the private rituals of the neighborhood boys, leaving Klara and Simon to their own devices. In 1969, though, they are still a unit, yoked as if it isn't possible to be anything but.
Chloe Benjamin (The Immortalists)
Rather than limiting postpartum to an arbitrary 6 weeks, many midwives, childbirth educators, and postpartum doulas are encouraging women to see the postpartum as a fourth trimester, thus allowing themselves at least a full 3 months for physical recovery, spiritual integration, and emotional assimilation. Even 3 months, many experts agree, may be too short a time. Many mothers say it was closer to 8 months before they began to feel more settled in their role as mother, and able also to regain a sense of personal identity and clarity.

assim também na vida espiritual. A felicidade não é resultado do que ganhamos, mas do que damos. “O prazer de fazer o bem aos outros comunica aos sentimentos calor que atravessa os nervos, aviva a circulação do sangue e promove a saúde mental e física” (Testemunhos Para a Igreja, v. 4

Ora il commissario aveva perso di vista il picciliddro, ma la direzione che aveva pigliato non lo poteva portare che in un solo posto e quel posto era un loco chiuso, una specie di vicolo cieco tra la parete posteriore del vecchio silos e il muro di recinzione del porto, che non permetteva altre strate di fuitina. Oltretutto lo spazio era ingombro di taniche e buttiglie vacanti, di centinara di cassette rotte di pisci, di almeno dù o tri motori scassati di pescherecci. Difficile cataminarsi in quel cafarnao di giorno, figurarsi alla splapita luce di un lampione! Sicuro che il picciliddro lo stava taliando, se la pigliò fintamente commoda, caminò con lintizza, un pedi leva e l’altro metti, s’addrumò persino una sigaretta. Arrivato all’imbocco di quel vudeddru si fermò e disse a voce vascia e quieta: “Veni ccà, picciliddru, nenti ti fazzu”. Nisciuna risposta. Ma, attisando le grecchie, al di là della rumorata che arrivava dalla banchina, come una risaccata fatta di vociate, chianti, lamenti, biastemie, colpi di clacson, sirene, sgommate, nitidamente percepì l’ansimo sottile, l’affanno del picciliddro che doviva trovarsi ammucciato a pochi metri. “Avanti, veni fora, nenti ti fazzu”. Sentì un fruscio. Veniva da una cascia di ligno proprio davanti a lui. Il picciliddro certamente vi si era raggomitolato darrè. Avrebbe potuto fare un salto e agguantarlo, ma preferì restarsene immobile. Poi vitti lentamente apparire le mano, le vrazza, la testa, il petto. Il resto del corpo restava cummigliato dalla cascia. Il picciliddro stava con le mano in alto, in”segno di resa, l’occhi sbarracati dal terrore, ma si sforzava di non chiangiri, di non dimostrare debolezza. Ma da quale angolo di ‘nfernu viniva si spiò improvvisamente sconvolto Montalbano se già alla so età aveva imparato quel terribile gesto delle mano isate che certamente non aviva visto fare nè al cinema nè alla televisione? Ebbe una pronta risposta, pirchì tutto ‘nzemmula nella so testa ci fu come un lampo, un vero e proprio flash. E dintra a quel lampo, nella so durata, scomparsero la cascia, il vicolo, il porto, Vigàta stessa, tutto scomparse e doppo arricomparse ricomposto nella grannizza e nel bianco e nero di una vecchia fotografia, vista tanti anni prima ma scattata ancora prima, in guerra, avanti che lui nascesse, e che mostrava un picciliddro ebreo, o polacco, con le mano in alto, l’istessi precisi occhi sbarracati, l’istissa pricisa volontà di non mittirisi a chiangiri, mentri un sordato gli puntava contro un fucile. Il commissario sentì una violenta fitta al petto, un duluri che gli fece ammancari il sciato, scantato serrò le palpebre, li raprì nuovamente. E finalmente ogni cosa tornò alle proporzioni normali, alla luce reale, e il picciliddro non era più ebreo o polacco ma nuovamente un picciliddro nìvuro. Montalbano avanzò di un passo, gli pigliò le mano agghiazzate, le tenne stritte tra le sue. E arristò accussì, aspittanno che tanticchia del suo calore si trasmettesse a quelle dita niche niche. Solo quanno lo sentì principiare a rilassarsi, tenendolo per una mano, fece il primo passo. Il picciliddro lo seguì, affidandosi docilmente a lui. E a tradimento a Montalbano tornò a mente François, il piccolo tunisino che sarebbe potuto diventare suo figlio, come voleva Livia. Arriniscì a tempo a bloccare la commozione a costo di muzzicarsi quasi a sangue il labbro di sutta. Lo sbarco continuava.

For example, Aviva Investors (discussed further in chapter 5) assesses potential external managers based on their ESG integration capacity, including their engagement efforts. It maintains a “buy list” of managers that pass its various criteria for its portfolio managers to choose from. It also surveys asset managers on their ESG practices every two years. It does so in part “to raise awareness and enhance [its] understanding of best practice regarding ESG integration in the industry.

Furthermore, he may see you in new and profoundly different ways now, and his sense of responsibility to his growing family can be overwhelming. All in all, he might need some support, too, and may not be as quickly responsive to your needs as you’d like. He also can’t entirely understand the feelings you’re going through, either emotionally or physically, as you recover from birth, your hormones skyrocket and plummet, and you integrate your experience of birth and new motherhood.

Muchas personas piensan que el secreto para volver a conectar con la pareja es una cena con velas o unas vacaciones en el mar. Pero el auténtico secreto es acercarse el uno al otro en las pequeñas cosas de cada día. Una noche romántica sólo aviva la pasión cuando una pareja ha mantenido el fuego encendido estando en contacto cotidianamente.
John M. Gottman (Siete reglas de oro para vivir en pareja)
La tristeza nos concilia con la realidad. Nos arroja al fluir de la vida. Nos coloca en el borde afilado de la experiencia. Aviva el latido del corazón, que palpita entre la fe y la duda. La tristeza dice a la mente atormentada: es bueno languidecer en lo incompleto. Canta al ánimo más lóbrego: aguanta la oscuridad porque ahí, en la sombría intimidad, irrumpirá la luz más brillante. Entona un canto a la desesperanza del alba, al esfuerzo triste; dice a ambos: permanece en tu desolación, de su vacío algo surgirá, una nueva conciencia, una nueva forma de ver y de ser.
Eric G. Wilson
La obra que, deleitando, consiga dar a luz a la mente y palpitaciones al corazón helado, si aviva la conciencia, si mueve a las acciones nobles y generosas, si enciende el entusiasmo por lo bueno, lo bello y lo verdadero, si se indigna contra las deformidades del vicio y las injusticias sociales y hace que nos interesemos por todos los que sufren, decid que es obra elocuente y eminentemente poética.
Rubén Darío

Por tanto, cuando recibimos lo que tan claramente se nos brinda, a saber, la revelación del amor de Dios en Cristo, esto, a su vez, hace posible que también nosotros amemos. Él aviva en nosotros el amor. Sentimos su llamamiento a amar, primero a Jesús mismo, y después a Dios. De este modo, puede cumplirse el primer gran mandamiento de amar a Dios con todo nuestro ser, y ello por la belleza de Dios que se nos da en Cristo. Este es el segundo movimiento en respuesta al amor: «Nosotros amamos, porque Él nos amó primero.» Pero el segundo movimiento es inseparable del tercero: nuestro amor hacia quienes aman a Dios. «Si nos amamos

For intellectuals and elites, invisibilizing and forgetting are a way of creating blissful ignorance that allows them to enjoy their privilege without acknowledging its basis in exploitation. Forgetting allows them to avoid the shame that would come from seeing.
Aviva Chomsky (Central America's Forgotten History: Revolution, Violence, and the Roots of Migration)
The church wanted souls; the government wanted subjects and taxes; the conquistadors wanted gold. In each case, they needed people, and they needed people identified as Indian. But they each sought to remake Indigenous peoples to fit their own desires. The church claimed rights to evangelize Indigenous peoples, the Crown to tax them, and the conquistadors to enslave them. As they jostled for control, they subjected Indigenous forms of religion, governance, and labor to their sometimes-competing objectives.
Aviva Chomsky (Central America's Forgotten History: Revolution, Violence, and the Roots of Migration)
Paradoxically, they needed Indians to be Indians at the same time they needed to define all that was Indian as inferior and in need of Spanish domination.

Large-scale Central American migration to the United States dates to the civil wars of the 1980s and came primarily from El Salvador and Guatemala. Most came fleeing political violence, and their presence became politically very inconvenient for the Reagan administration, which was seeking to justify its support for these countries’ governments. Others were economic refugees. Either way, the refugees gave the lie to Reagan’s claims of the governments’ legitimacy and right to US support.
Aviva Chomsky (Central America's Forgotten History: Revolution, Violence, and the Roots of Migration)
Very few US Americans can name a single political leader in Central America. We have the privilege of “forgetting” about these countries. Yet US political leaders, parties, and policies are the stuff of everyday conversation in Central America. People there don’t have the luxury of ignoring or forgetting what is going on in the United States, because they know that US presidential elections, policy decisions, and economic developments are likely to deeply affect them.
Aviva Chomsky (Central America's Forgotten History: Revolution, Violence, and the Roots of Migration)
One of the conceits of forgetting in the United States is the idea that colonialism ended in 1776 when the new country declared independence. Central American countries, too, celebrate their independence heroes and wars as historical milestones. But in both regions, the colonial roots ran deep and profoundly shaped the new countries. In the United States, independence meant a surge of settler colonial expansion that incorporated Central America into its sights. In Central America, colonial racial hierarchies shaped the new nations even as the United States imposed new forms of neocolonial rule.

La realidad es un tiempo que se imagina a sí mismo, seguro de atrás el mundo. Vámonos a lo que aviva a sus criaturas, tratos de la memoria con su olvido, las compraventas del dolor. La orfandad del querer le cambia el nombre al alma. Ahora se llama sin luna ni hálito, parada en un pañuelo adiós.

As I began to give interviews and talks about my book “They Take Our Jobs!” And 20 Other Myths about Immigration, published in 2007, I became more and more convinced that a key, central issue that’s hampering those of us who support immigrant rights is the absence of a basic, fundamental ability to say “immigrant rights are human rights.” Immigration simply should not be illegal. No politician or talk-show commentator is going to risk saying this, but we have to.

Both in Cuba and in the United states, the word 'freedom' comes up frequently in describing Cuba's history and current realities. It's a word that incorporates many different meanings. US policy makers tend to use it to refer to freedom for private enterprise, while for Cuban policy makers it generally means freedom from U.S interference.
