She is a living, breathing work of art. As audacious as Dali's mustache, mysterious like a Mona Lisa smile. As sensual as O'Keeffe's painted petals, glorious, like a Van Gogh starry night.
John Mark Green (Taste the Wild Wonder: Poems)
His belly was flabby, and it got softer every time I hit it. I hit it often.
Carroll John Daly (Race Williams' Double Date and Other Stories)
So, why are so many people lacking in an understanding of the rules? No one has ever taught them!
John J. Daly Jr. (The Key Class)
My life is my own, and the opinions of others don't interest me...
Carroll John Daly
Seventy, that’s right, 70 percent of people lose their jobs because they don’t fit into the work environment.
John J. Daly Jr. (The Key Class)
We are more sensitive to losses than to gains; the pleasure of winning is less than the pain of losing.
John A. Daly
The tin pan notes of a piano drift faintly into the night. A man curses and a window slams. Far distant an ash can clatters on stone and the almost human screech of a cat pierces the night.
Carroll John Daly (The Snarl of the Beast (Race Williams #1))
Each county has usually some family, or personage, supposed to have been favoured or plagued, especially by the phantoms, as the Hackets of Castle Hacket, Galway, who had for their ancestor a fairy, or John-o'-Daly of Lisadell, Sligo, who wrote "Eilleen Aroon,
W.B. Yeats (Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry)
Think of job hunting as a game. Job hunting depends on knowing the rules of the game. Like playing football, you need to know all the rules, particularly the ones you don’t want to break, such as being out-of-bounds. The point of the game is to know how to be comfortable and make others comfortable with you in every situation.
John J. Daly Jr.
I'd rather be a little behind than a big ass.
John C. Daly
John Daly is all the Caddyshack characters in one body. He's a caricature of a person, and that's why I'm a fan.
Jarod Kintz (Powdered Saxophone Music)
While people may differ in many respects, the reality is that how they respond to their prevailing conditions separates them into two distinct groups: people who are good, and people who are bad.
John C. Daly
I must also leave you to analyze the cultural decline of Western art and literature. In the cycle of a great civilization, the artist begins as a priest and ends as a clown or buffoon. Examples of buffoonery in twentieth-century art, literature and music are many: Dali, Picasso, John Cage, Beckett.
Malcolm Muggeridge (The End of Christendom)
Ed McBain (as Evan Hunter and Richard Marsten), Raymond Chandler, Cornell Woolrich, Andrew Vachss, Loren D. Estleman, Carroll John Daly, Brett Halliday, Raoul Whitfield, Mark Timlin, Richard Prather, Leigh Brackett, Erle Stanley Gardner (pre Perry Mason), James Ellroy, Clark Howard, Max Brand. In addition, rising paper costs prevented me from making this volume even heavier, as I had to withdraw material by Ed Gorman, James Reasoner, Ed Lacy, Frank Gruber, Loren D. Estleman, Derek Raymond, Robert Edmond Alter, Frederick C. Davis and Jonathan Craig – so look out for these names elsewhere. They are certainly worth a detour. But the

drop the economist’s beloved notion of ‘externalities’, those incidental effects felt by people who were not involved in the transactions that produced them—such as toxic effluent that affects communities living downstream of a river-polluting factory, or the exhaust fumes inhaled by cyclists biking through city traffic. Such negative externalities, remarks the ecological economist Herman Daly, are those things that ‘we classify as “external” costs for no better reason than because we have made no provision for them in our economic theories’.21 The systems dynamics expert John Sterman concurs. ‘There are no side effects—just effects,’ he says, pointing out that the very notion of side effects is just ‘a sign that the boundaries of our mental models are too narrow, our time horizons too short’.
Kate Raworth (Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist)
Não, não há escapatória. Não existe céu com um pouco de inferno nele – não tentemos reter isso ou aquilo do mal em nossos corações ou em nossos bolsos. Satanás deve sair, cada fiapo, cada fio de cabelo.” (George MacDonald) O poeta inglês William Blake (1757-1827) escreveu 'O Casamento do Céu e do Inferno'. Se escrevo sobre o Divórcio, não é porque me julgue à altura para antagonizar com tão grande gênio, nem porque tenha pleno conhecimento do que ele queria dizer. No entanto, em um sentido ou outro, é constante a tentativa de fazer tal casamento. Essa tentativa baseia-se na crença de que a realidade nunca se apresenta a nós como uma escolha inevitável entre 'isso ou aquilo'; de que, com habilidade, paciência e (sobretudo) tempo suficiente, seria possível encontrar uma maneira de acomodar as duas alternativas; e de que a simples evolução, adaptação ou refinamento conseguirá, de algum jeito, transformar o mal em bem, sem que sejamos interpelados a rejeitar, de modo definitivo e integral, aquilo que desejamos conservar. Essa crença é, a meu juízo, um erro desastroso. Você não pode levar toda a bagagem consigo em todas as viagens; em alguma jornada, sua mão e seu olho direitos podem estar entre as coisas que você terá de deixar para trás. Não vivemos num mundo onde todos os caminhos são como raios de um círculo, que, se suficientemente percorridos, gradualmente se aproximariam um do outro e, ao fim, convergiriam no centro; vivemos, sim, num mundo onde cada caminho, depois de alguns quilômetros, se bifurca e onde cada uma das duas ramificações, por sua vez, se biparte novamente; e, em cada encruzilhada, você precisa tomar uma decisão. Mesmo no nível biológico, a vida não é como um rio, e sim como uma árvore. A vida não flui no sentido da unidade, mas, ao contrário, afasta-se dela, e as criaturas se diferenciam entre si à medida que se aprimoram. O bem, quando amadurece, distingue-se não apenas do mal, mas também de outro bem. Não creio que todos aqueles que optam por caminhos equivocados pereçam, mas seu resgate consiste em serem colocados de volta na estrada certa. Uma operação de adição pode ser corrigida: mas isso só pode ser feito retornando até encontrar o erro e refazendo o cálculo a partir dali; nunca simplesmente prosseguindo. O mal pode ser desfeito, mas não pode 'evoluir' para o bem. O tempo não o cura. O feitiço deve ser revertido, aos poucos, 'com sussurros de trás para frente, de poder disjuntivo' (peça ‘Comus’, do poeta inglês John Milton – 1608-1674) – ou, então, o encanto não cessará. É 'uma coisa ou outra'. Se insistirmos em preservar o Inferno (ou mesmo a Terra), não veremos o Céu: se aceitarmos o Céu, não poderemos guardar sequer o menor e o mais íntimo 'suvenir' do Inferno. Acredito, com efeito, que toda pessoa que alcançar o Céu descobrirá que o que abandonou (mesmo que seja arrancando seu olho direito) na verdade não era nada: que o cerne daquilo que estava ansiosamente procurando, mesmo em seus desejos mais pervertidos, estará lá, além das expectativas, aguardando por ela nos 'Países Altos'. Nesse sentido, os que tiverem completado a jornada (e somente estes) poderão verdadeiramente dizer que o bem está em tudo, e o Céu, em todo lugar. Entretanto, deste lado da estrada, não devemos tentar antecipar essa observação retrospectiva. Se o fizermos, provavelmente estaremos abraçando o falso e desastroso avesso e fantasia de que tudo é bom e de que todo lugar é o Céu. Mas e a terra? – você perguntará. Imagino que, no fim, ninguém a achará um lugar muito diferente. Penso que, se escolhida em prejuízo do Céu, a terra acabará se revelando uma mera região no Inferno e, se colocada em segundo lugar, depois do Céu, se mostrará desde o início como uma parte do próprio Céu.
C.S. Lewis (The Great Divorce)
Mes nenorėjom matyti to, ko negalėjom išaiškinti, ir tokiu būdu didelė pasaulio dalis buvo palikta vaikams ir bepročiams, kvailiams ir mistikams, kurie labiau domėjosi pačiais reiškiniais negu jų priežastimis. Pasaulio palėpėn sugrūsta tiek daug senų ir nuostabių daiktų, kurių mes nenorim matyti šalia savęs, tačiau išmesti nedrįstam.
John Steinbeck (The Winter of Our Discontent)
Them that live by the gun should die by the gun, is good sound twentieth century gospel.
Carroll John Daly (The Snarl of the Beast: Race Williams #17 (Black Mask))
If I have any rule pertaining to my profession, that rule is: anything can happen today. Nothing is impossible.
Carroll John Daly (The Snarl of the Beast: Race Williams #17 (Black Mask))
The dead so soon grow cold.” Funny that I got that off. It was years since I had read Oscar Wilde or any of his wise cracks.

Carroll John Daly (The Snarl of the Beast: Race Williams #17 (Black Mask))
Funny things that come over you then. What did I think of? Death, and all that—and did the faces of dead gunmen bob up before me? No, just one thing shot through my mind. I skipped back to my childhood and seemed to be with Alice, of Alice in Wonderland fame, as she fell down the rabbit hole. Queer that—but true, just the same.
Carroll John Daly (The Snarl of the Beast: Race Williams #17 (Black Mask))
It all sounds like braggadocio, I suppose. But I can’t help that. It’s just the way I felt. Truth is truth, you know.
Carroll John Daly (The Snarl of the Beast: Race Williams #17 (Black Mask))
As Samuel Pepys would chirp—
Carroll John Daly (The Snarl of the Beast: Race Williams #17 (Black Mask))
Contemplando il rivestimento di merletto che i torrenti disegnano sulle montagne non si può non rammentare che ogni cosa fluisce, ogni cosa si muove verso un qualche punto, gli esseri viventi e le rocce così dette inanimate come l'acqua. Fluisce la neve, rapida o lenta, nelle valanghe e nei ghiacciai creatori di bellezza; fluisce l'aria in maestose inondazioni che trasportano minerali e foglie, semi e spore, torrenti di musiche e di profumi; fluisce l'acqua trasportando rocce, in soluzione o in forma di fango, sabbia, ciottoli, sassi. Fluiscono le rocce dalla bocca dei vulcani, come acque dalle fonti e gli animali si raggruppano ed è tutto un fluire, un avanzare di zampe, di groppe in salto, d'ali spiegate, sulla terra, nell'aria, nel mare... E intanto le stelle corrono nello spazio spinte dal perenne pulsare, come globuli rossi nel caldo sangue della Natura.
John Muir (My First Summer in the Sierra)
However, the quarters
John A. Daly (From a Dead Sleep (Sean Coleman Thriller, #1))
They used my name and permit to grow the weed and earn money to repay their debts and compensate their investors. To keep my girlfriend. To take her. I am uncertain if any of them have ever spent a minute in jail for any of these activities. Adam proudly showcases his new motorcycles on Instagram, posing on a hill above Barcelona. He also displays his brand new electric camper van, which they use to travel and transport drugs across Europe and Iberia, as well as his gigantic marijuana cultivation located in Portugal. People like Ruan and Martina admire his public images. I came across a picture of Ruan and Martina together in Berlin, where their mother Fernanda visited them. Martina became member of the Evil Eye Cult, and the custom made mafia group in Spain, which used her as a pawn in their porn and drug-related activities. She now operates as their representative in Berlin. Martina and I have lost the ability to genuinely smile. Her social media posts only show disinterest or a malicious demeanor. ‘A boot stomping on a human face.’ In a picture with her brother and mother, she puts on a forced fake “good vibe” and “happy” smile, revealing her flawless teeth and the subtle lines of aging. With each passing day, she bears a greater resemblance to her rich and so happy mother, the bad person. As far as I know, none of these individuals have faced consequences for their actions, such as having their teeth broken. As I had. Innocently. Taking care of business and their lives. With love. I find this to be incredibly unjust. In the 21st century. In Europe. On planet Earth. By non-EU criminals. “Matando – ganando” – “killing and gaining” like there were no Laws at all. Nowadays, you can observe Sabrina flaunting her fake lips and altered face, just like Martina her enhanced breasts. Guess who was paying for it? It seems that both girls now sustain themselves through their bodies and drug involvement, to this day, influencing criminals to gain friends in harming Tomas and having a lavish lifestyle filled with fun and mischief. Making a living. Enjoying Spain. Enjoying Life. My money. My tears. This is the situation as it stands. I was wondering what Salvador Dali was trying to tell me. I stood in front of the Lincoln portrait for a long time, but I couldn't grasp the point or the moral behind it. I can listen to Abraham Lincoln and ‘trust people. To see. If I can trust them.’ But he ultimately suffered a tragic fate, with his life being taken. (Got his head popped.) I believe there may have also been a female or two involved in that situation, too, possibly leading to his guards being let down. While he was watching: Acting performances, he was facing a: Stage. Theater. It is disheartening, considering he was a good person. Like Jesus, John Lennon and so on. Shows a pattern Machiavelli was talking about. Some individuals are too bright for those in darkness; they feel compelled to suppress those brighter minds simply because they think and act differently. Popping their heads. Reptilian lower brain-based culture, the concept of the Evil Eye, Homo erectus. He couldn't even stand up properly when I was shouting at him, urging him to stand up from the stairs. ‘Homo seditus reptilis.’ But what else was there in the Lincoln image that I didn't see? What was Dali trying to convey or express or tell me? Besides the fact that the woman is in his mind, on his mind, in the image, exactly, his head got popped open. Perhaps because he was focusing on a woman, trusting her for a split second, or turning his head away for a moment.
Tomas Adam Nyapi (BARCELONA MARIJUANA MAFIA)
A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into this world” (John 16:21).
Jim Daly (Stronger: Trading Brokenness for Unbreakable Strength)
Advocacy means persuading people who matter to care about your issue. It is about getting listened to, being at the table when decisions are made, being heard by people who make decisions. It is about facing and overcoming resistance. It is about speaking and writing in compelling ways that make decision makers want to adopt your ideas.
