The promise is to forsake all others, to stay devoted and true; the pledge is to honor that promise selflessly, to see the whole thing through; and the vow is to keep that pledge unwaveringly, until the days are few. It is a mutual agreement to become one instead of two.

You and I are extremely alike. Sometimes people who are alike don’t get along too well.

I was constantly insecure about whether the tone was right—tone is everything, an indefinable thing, like quality,” Kershner says. “True discipline is from within. Every artist, every painter, every novelist, anyone who does anything must do it for himself, must have his own discipline. That is really what tempers the character. That’s what makes it possible to do something beautiful and to become something beautiful. That, ultimately, is what the film I’m making is about.

Quero fruir o presente e considerar o passado como o passado. Você tem razão: os homens sofreriam menos se não se aplicassem tanto (e Deus sabe por que eles são assim!)a invocar os males indos e vividos, em vez de esforçar-se por tornar suportável um presente medíocre.

She was petrified now but I simply slung her over my shoulder and made for my bunk. My 2IC who had caught the whole show approached. ‘Sir do you think it’s fair, you have banned all the men from having sex yet here you are about to indulge your base nature.’ I swung up an arm, ‘tell them to help themselves, there are plenty to go round.’ He paled when he realised that I meant the females, ‘I will tell them sir.’ ‘Be sure to Peter, I don’t want to have to repopulate the whole human race by myself now do I.’ ‘It doesn’t bear thinking about sir.

The books became more than just something to read; they became esoteric possessions, present on the wall because I liked the look and the feel and the smell of them. Never mind that many were too childish or too trite. I saw a value in books and hoarded them like a jealous monarch.

Where else was I wrong? It was the same question I had asked myself when I'd finally sloughed off Christianity. Where else was I fundamentally wrong about life and the universe and how everything worked? Is life a cycle of us realizing how stupid we are over and over again until we die.

George said just off the top of his head, ‘I’d like to see a metal castle in the snow,’ ” McQuarrie says. “George was looking for a place to put Vader’s office.” In one entry, Lucas seems to have reconstructed how he arrived at the name Darth Vader—a combination of the words dark, death, invader.

The movie is about a woman who falls in love with a monster. Her love magically transforms the monster into a handsome man. At the very end of the movie, after the monster becomes a man, the woman does something very odd. She presses her lips against his. I can’t help wondering what it might feel like to do that.

Me invade una nostalgia largamente olvidada de aquel apacible y grave reino del espíritu; y flota entonces con imprecisas notas mi canción susurrante, como arpa eolia; un escalofrío me sacude la lágrima va en pos de las lágrimas, el severo corazón se siente dulce y blando.. veo lejano aquello que poseo, y lo perdido se me hace realidad.

Battle in the Snow has an unusual orchestration calling for five piccolos, five oboes, a battery of eight percussion, two grand pianos, and two or three harps, in addition to the normal orchestral complement,” Williams notes. “This was necessary in order to achieve a bizarre sound, a mechanical, brutal sound for the sequence showing Imperial walkers.

He’s a slick, riverboat gambler type of dude. Han Solo is a rather crude, rough and tumble kind of guy; this guy will be a very slicked down, elegant, James Bond–type. He’s much more of a con man, which puts him more in the Mr. Spock style of thinking, being smart, cool, and taking tremendous chances. An emotional Spock, someone who uses his wits rather than his brawn.

Listening is the single most important on–the–job skill that a good manager can cultivate. A leader who doesn’t listen well risks missing critical information, losing (or never winning) the confidence of staff and peers and forfeiting the opportunity to be a proactive, hands–on manager. Listening is also how you empower people to grow in their jobs and gain confidence as decision makers.

The question turns Aria’s face bright red and, based on the heat I feel in my cheeks, probably mine too. Until now, we haven’t publicly defined our relationship. It didn’t seem necessary. “We haven’t gone on an official date,” Aria says. “Do you want to?” Paris asks. “Sure,” Aria answers, somewhat dismissively. Paris looks at me expectantly. “Sure,” I say, trying to end the inquisition. “Then you should go on a date,” Paris says.

This has just came in from high command.  There will be no loitering on the beachhead.  Anyone found skinny dipping or fishing with grenades will be put on a charge.  Two marines have already been disciplined for this offence.’  A few men laughed and he smiled.  ‘Also there will be no fraternisation with the local female populace.  This will not be tolerated.  High command believe they may well carry some exotic disease our doctors may not be able to treat.’  That brought a little more laughter.  ‘Again two marines have already been disciplined,’ the rest of his sentence was drowned out by the laughter.  He waited until it died down again.  ‘In their defence the marines stated that the females plied them with a local beverage made from coconuts.  As there doesn’t seem to be any coconut trees in space the high command disbelieved their story.  So don’t try it, you won’t get away with it.

JW: How do you use death in your writing? Martin: I don’t think of it in those terms, that I’m using death for any purpose. I think a writer, even a fantasy writer, has an obligation to tell the truth and the truth is, as we say in Game of Thrones, all men must die. Particularly if you’re writing about war, which is certainly a central subject in Game of Thrones. It has been in a lot of my fiction, not all of it by any means but certainly a lot of it, going all the way back to “The Hero,” which was a story about a warrior. You can’t write about war and violence without having death. If you want to be honest it should affect your main characters. We’ve all read this story a million times when a bunch of heroes set out on adventure and it’s the hero and his best friend and his girlfriend and they go through amazing hair-raising adventures and none of them die. The only ones who die are extras. That’s such a cheat. It doesn’t happen that way. They go into battle and their best friend dies or they get horribly wounded. They lose their leg or death comes at them unexpectedly. Death

Editing is perhaps the only one of the film arts that has no historical antecedents,” says Hirsch. “Editing is the choice of the images, their succession, and their duration. An editor is dealing with time, which is more of a concern in the musical arts. Only film and music require that an audience comprehend the details of a work of art over a given period of time. You can read a novel in one sitting or you can take six months to read it. You can look at the edges or at the center of a painting; you’re not compelled to experience it in any order.

I had heard that Presley died on the toilet, but I’d assumed the location was happenstance, as it was with Judy Garland and Lenny Bruce: an embarrassing setting for a standard celebrity overdose. But the straining-at-stool theory made some sense. With all three autopsies—that of J.W., Mr. K., and E., as Presley’s intimates called him—the collapse was abrupt and the autopsy revealed no obvious cause of death. (Though Presley had traces of several prescription drugs in his blood, none was present at a lethal level.) What Elvis’s autopsy did unambiguously reveal was a colon two to three times normal size.

The greatest and the most oppressive empire on earth is the Anglo-American empire. By that is meant the British Empire, of which the United States of America forms a part. It has been the commercial Jews of the British-American empire that have built up and carried on Big Business as a means of exploiting and oppressing the peoples of many nations. This fact particularly applies to the cities of London and New York, the stronghold of Big Business. This fact is so manifest in America that there is a proverb concerning the city of New York which says: 'The Jews own it, the Irish Catholics rule it, and the Americans pay the bills.

Connor had become a doctor just two days ago—along with all of his friends. They were hand-selected at just three years old to undergo intensive medical training as part of a controversial experiment, called Kid Docs. In the past few years, the Kid Docs program had produced some of the best doctors in the entire country, if not the world. They had some of the lowest complication rates and the highest success rates, and they had developed innovative new procedures that saved lives that were previously unsalvageable. Connor hoped that he would be among the best doctors in the world someday. But right now, he was focused on only a single thing: saving this one man’s life.

I suppose the unconscious mind works all the time on one’s problems,” he adds. “Sometimes themes come very painfully after hours of holding my head in my hands at the piano. Days can go by and I’ll think it is never going to come. Then I’ll sit down at the piano and it sort of pops into my mind; after two weeks of frustration, it just appears out of nowhere. Other times, I might think about a theme for a character and get it straight off. It is a strange and mysterious and frustrating process, almost impossible to describe. It was like exhuming another part of myself in a way, to have to go back and continue a score that was done that long ago. But if you can just get out of the way and let it happen, not let whatever neurotic hang-ups about writing get in the way, one is free to do it.

J.W. Dunne was a distinguished man of science and professor of mathematics. [...] He embarked upon a lifetime study of precognition. In 1927 he published his basic conclusions in his bestselling book An Experiment with Time. [...] He argued that if time was a fourth dimension then the passage of time must itself take time. If therefore time takes time there must be a time outside of time. He called this "time 2". [...] Most of our life we live in "time 1", which is synonymous with the passing ordinary moments of everyday life. But during sleep a part of our personality (observer 2) can slip into this other dimension of time and experience events in the future which are communicated to our ordinary self (observer 1). Investigations led Dunne to conclude that under certain circumstances past, present and future events were accessible to consciousness and that during dreams we can enter this fourth dimension of space-time.

New Year’s Day It is on account of Your mercy alone, O Lord, that I am not consumed, because Your compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. Abide with me, O God, throughout the coming year. Be my guide in all my perplexities, my strength in my weakness, my ever-ready help in all my troubles. Forgive me all my sins. O Sabaoth Lord, look down from heaven and in grace behold and visit Your holy Church, which You have chosen for Your own. Preserve for us Your saving Word and Sacraments, that Your vine may send out its boughs from sea to sea and its branches to the uttermost parts of the earth. Look graciously upon our nation and all the nations of the world, and bless them with peace. Grant to all that are in authority wisdom and courage to rule in such a way that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and honesty. To You, almighty Creator and gracious God, I commit this nation, my church, my family and loved ones, and myself. Abide with me. With Your grace and mercy preserve me whole—soul and body—blameless to the coming of my Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. (76)

Os acercáis de nuevo, figuras vacilantes, las que otrora pronto a la turbia mirada se mostraron. ¿Pretendo acaso reteneros esta vez? ¿Siento mi corazón todavía a aquella hora inclinado? ¡Os agolpáis! Pues bien, reinad entonces, así como vais subiendo por mí entre vapores y nieblas; Mi pecho se siente juvenilmente estremecido ante ese hálito mágico que a vuestro séquito anima. Con vosotras traéis las imágenes de felices días pasados, y algunas queridas sombras se levantan; como una vieja leyenda, ya casi extinguida reaparecen el primer amor y la amistad primera. El dolor se renueva; se repite la queja del alocado y laberíntico curso de la vida, evocando a los buenos, que por hermosos instantes de felicidad embaucados, desaparecieron, yéndose lejos de mí. No escucharán los cánticos que siguen aquellas almas a quienes canté los primeros. Disperso está el amistoso corro, acallado, ¡ay!, el primitivo eco. Mi canción resuena en la desconocida masa, su aplauso mismo el corazón me oprime, y quien se alegrara con mi canción antaño, si vive aún hoy, por el mundo anda errando. Me invade una nostalgia largamente olvidada de aquel apacible y grave reino del espíritu; y flota entonces con imprecisas notas mi canción susurrante, como arpa eolia; un escalofrío me sacude la lágrima va en pos de las lágrimas, el severo corazón se siente dulce y blando.. veo lejano aquello que poseo, y lo perdido se me hace realidad.

Dreams are merely life asleep. Wake them up...

The Greys The Greys are the most commonly reported alien species. They are the classic alien with large bug-like eyes, a slit for a mouth, small nose and long spindly arms and legs. They are usually around 3 to 4 feet tall. The Greys may be the “brains” of the alien races. People who claim to have been abducted usually say that the Greys don’t seem bothered by humans in pain. They are the most commonly observed aliens seen during UFO events. Nordic Aliens The Nordics or blondes are identified by those humans who say they have been contacted by them. They say they look like humans who are from Northern Europe such as Scandinavians. They are supposed to have long blond hair and blue eyes and are between six to seven feet tall. Those who have been contacted say the Nordics are friendly beings who want to observe and communicate with humans. They are concerned about the Earth’s environment and world peace. The Nordics are seen as leaders and the Greys their servants. Reptilians The Reptilians are also involved in abductions according to a few of those who claim to have been abducted by aliens. They are supposedly 5-7 feet tall, have red eyes and resemble a lizard. The Reptilians are very intelligent but also not nice. There are many frightening stories about these guys. There are many other races and species of aliens according to contactees. I’m not sure about any of these reports but I’m thinking that I’ll hope for contact with the Blondes. Reptilians please stay away!

Be bold—reach much—write much—publish little—keep aloof from the little wits, and fear nothing.
