A crude age. Peace is stabilized with cannon and bombers, humanity with concentration camps and pogroms. We're living in a time when all standards are turned upside-down, Kern. Today the aggressor is the shepherd of peace, and the beaten and hunted are the troublemakers of the world. What's more, there are whole races who believe it!
Erich Maria Remarque (Flotsam)
Ain’t nobody comin’ to save you, girl. You wanna survive? You better start thinking for yourself.
Peggy Kern (Little Peach)
Unlike a bag of heroin, a girl can be sold again and again.
Peggy Kern (Little Peach)
Früher wusste man (oder vielleicht ahnte man es), dass man den Tod in sich hatte wir die Frucht den Kern. Die Kinder hatten einen kleinen und die Erwachsenen einen großen. Die Frauen hatten ihn im Schoß und die Männer in der Brust. Den hatte man, und das gab einem eine eigentümliche Würde und einen stillen Stolz.
Rainer Maria Rilke (Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge)
Because of Stephen King, horror movies don’t scare me. There is nothing a horror movie director can do to me that Stephen King hasn’t done already.
E.H. Kern
Wir sollten uns um die kümmern, die uns wichtig sind und die einen guten Kern haben. Das muss eine der Maximen im Leben sein, und der Teufel tritt die in den Allerwertesten, die nicht danach handeln.
Jón Kalman Stefánsson
Self-confidence is the belief in your abilities as a person. Self-worth is the belief in your value as a person.
Jamie Kern Lima (Worthy: How to Believe You Are Enough and Transform Your Life)
Ewww... intelligent design people! They're just buck-toothed, Bible-pushing nincompoops with community-college degrees who're trying to sell a gussied-up creationism to a cretinous public! No need to address their concerns or respond to their arguments. They are Not Science. They are poopy-heads. There. I just saved you the trouble of reading 90 percent of the responses to the ID position... This is how losers act just before they lose: arrogant, self-satisfied, too important to be bothered with substantive refutation, and disdainful of their own faults... The only remaining question is whether Darwinism will exit gracefully, or whether it will go down biting, screaming, censoring, and denouncing to the bitter end. — Tech Central Station contributor Douglas Kern, 2005
Jonathan Wells (The Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent Design)
Je moet niet teruggaan naar plaatsen van vroeger. Dan vernietig je die gloed, de kern van je herinneringen.
J. Bernlef (Out of Mind)
I incline my agreement with Toirdealbhach,' said Gareth. 'After all, what is the good of killing poor kerns who do not know anything? It would be much better for the people who are angry to fight each other themselves, knight against knight.' 'But you could not have any wars at all, like that,' exclaimed Gaheris. 'It would be absurd,' said Gawaine. 'You must have people, galore of people, in a war.' 'Otherwise you could not kill them,' explained Agravaine.
T.H. White (The Once and Future King)
The merciless Macdonald (Worthy to be a rebel, — for, to that, The multiplying villainies of nature Do swarm upon him) from the Western Isles Of kerns and gallowglasses is supplied; And Fortune, on his damned quarrel smiling, Showed like a rebel's whore: but all's too weak: For brave Macbeth (well he deserves that name) Disdaining Fortune, with his brandish'd steel, Which smoked with bloody execution, Like valour's minion, Carv'd out his passage.
William Shakespeare
Hatte ich nicht hinter der Legende die Wahrheit gesucht? Als ich den Kern der Wahrheit erreicht zu haben glaubte, da war er Legende.
Amin Maalouf (The Rock of Tanios)
There is an Old Earth phrase Kern used sometimes, about a boat whose every part was replaced, and was it the same boat then?
Adrian Tchaikovsky (Children of Ruin (Children of Time, #2))
It's a pook, a messenger...spy is more like it," Kern explained sourly. "This one will tattle, and I'll never hear the end of it when I go back." An eyebrow lifted. "Consorting with a human.
Lori J. Fitzgerald (Love Lies Bleeding (Wood & Stone Part One))
Euer Schmerz ist das Zerbrechen der Schale, die euer Verstehen umschließt. Wie der Kern der Frucht zerbrechen muß, damit sein Herz die Sonne erblicken kann, so müßt auch ihr den Schmerz erleben.
Kahlil Gibran
... So bewies mir das Wagnis, dass es nicht zerstörerisch ist, wenn wir unser Innerstes aufs Spiel setzen, wenn wir unseren verborgenen und echten Kern anbieten. Wie können nicht zerstört werden.
Anaïs Nin
Leven is eigenlijk niets anders dan afscheid nemen van leven. Dat is de kern van het leven, en liefde is afscheid nemen van liefde - het is allemaal één groot afscheidsfeest. Het was een mooi afscheidsfeest, maar ik moet nu naar huis, even uitslapen, de afwas doen van verleden week. Begrijp je?
Arnon Grunberg (Phantom Pain)
Die Krankheit war den Menschen Existenzbeweis - als wären sie nicht in der Lage gewesen, sich selbst zu spüren, solange ihnen nichts wehtat! Jahrhunderte lang hat man die Schwäche angebetet, man hat sie sogar zum Kern einer Weltreligion erhoben. Man kniete vor dem Bild eines magersüchtigen, bärtigen Masochisten, der eine Stacheldrahtrolle auf dem Kopf trug, während ihm das Blut übers Gesicht lief. Der Stolz der Kranken, die Heiligkeit der Kranken, die Selbstliebe der Kranken: Das waren die Übel, die den Menschen von innen fraßen.
Juli Zeh (Corpus Delicti: Ein Prozess)
The world will ask you who you are, and if you don’t know, the world will tell you. — CARL JUNG
Jamie Kern Lima (Worthy: How to Believe You Are Enough and Transform Your Life)
Der Kern seiner Seele war schwarz und vertrocknet wie der schimmelige Kern, der einen reifen Pfirsich verdirbt.
Nina Blazon (Totenbraut)
Der Kern des Glücks: Der sein zu wollen, der du bist.
Erasmus
Ein Mann, dessen romantischer Kern in einen brutalen, einfachen Behälter eingeschlossen war, welcher aus Instinkt und Pragmatismus bestand.
Stephen King (The Waste Lands (The Dark Tower, #3))
It takes courage to be the real you, and it’s also the only path you’ll ever find to true freedom. It takes risk to be the real you, and it’s also the only possibility of experiencing true purpose. It takes vulnerability to be the real you, and it’s also the only place you’ll experience true love. Showing up in this world as ALL of who you are tastes like freedom.
Jamie Kern Lima (Worthy: How to Believe You Are Enough and Transform Your Life)
It is a special vanity of Southern women to believe that they are different from other American women.” -Sharon McKern, author of Redneck Mothers, Good Ol’ Girls and Other Southern Belles
Deborah Ford (Grits (Girls Raised in the South) Guide to Life)
Seine Augen waren blau vor Sehnsucht und wurden vor Schmerz und Auflehnung wieder schwarz. Er war ein Gewirr verschlungener Nerven, die ohne einen Kern der Ruhe nach allen Seiten vibrierten.
Anaïs Nin (Under a Glass Bell)
An ancestress of hers stole the Sacred Eye of the Messenger from the ants, back when the ants were the great power in the world and not merely a convenient operating system to run Avrana Kern on.
Adrian Tchaikovsky (Children of Ruin (Children of Time, #2))
You don’t become what you want. You can have the greatest heart desire, and really work so hard, so hard, so hard. But if you don’t believe you are worthy, it will not come. That is the magic formula.
Jamie Kern Lima (Worthy: How to Believe You Are Enough and Transform Your Life)
Je zou de geschiedenis van Europa kunnen beschrijven als een geschiedenis van terugverlangen naar de geschiedenis.' 'Dat is eigenlijk de kern van de renaissance,' zei ik. 'Het is de kern van alles,' zei ze.
Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer (Grand Hotel Europa)
Ik wil branden in het vuur van mijn gevoelens. Ik wil alles, want alleen als ik alles heb weet ik dat ik iets ben. Ik wil meegevoerd worden om de zinloosheid van mijn bestaan te vergeten en ik wil de ander vervoering, onderdompeling en overgave geven en laten ondergaan om duidelijk te maken dat er niets is buiten mij, dat ik de kern van haar bestaan ben, dat het nergens beter is en dat ik alles verdien wat zij kan geven.
Marcel Möring (Eden)
Iemand zou de hoop kunnen koesteren dat hij door zijn verwachtingen te reduceren werkelijker zou kunnen worden, dat hij zichzelf zou kunnen beperken tot een harde, betrouwbare kern en daarmee immuun zou worden voor de pijn van de teleurstelling. Maar hoe zou het zijn om een leven te leiden dat zich verre houdt van grootse, onbescheiden verwachtingen, een leven waarin alleen nog banale verwachtingen bestaan, zoals de verwachting dat de bus komt?
Pascal Mercier (Night Train to Lisbon)
Een kunstwerk kan ons op velerlei manieren aanspreken: door zijn thema, zijn thesen, zijn onderwerp of zijn helden. Maar het meest van alles spreekt het ons toch aan door de aanwezigheid van kunst, want die aanwezigheid van kunst op de bladzijden van 'Misdaad en Straf' brengt de lezer in groter beroering dan de misdaad van Raskolnikov zelf. De primitieve kunst, de Egyptische kunst, de Griekse kunst, onze kunst, -dat alles is in een tijdsbestek van vele duizenden jaren één en dezelfde, enkelvoudige kunst. Daar ben ik van overtuigd. Zij houden een bepaalde gedachte in, een bepaalde bevestiging van het leven die zo allesomvattend is, dat zij niet in afzonderlijke woorden ontleed kan worden. Als een korrel van deze kracht in een gecompliceerder mengsel terechtkomt, krijgt dit bijmengsel van kunst op de betekenis van al het overige de overhand en blijkt het de kern, de ziel en de grondslag van het uitgebeelde te zijn.
Boris Pasternak (Doctor Zhivago)
Der Kern des Problems bestand darin, dass »man(n)« mit einer fremden Spezies konkurrieren musste. Man(n) konnte von Natur aus nicht größer, schneller, behaarter, muskulöser sein als ein Pferd. Jede Form von Wettkampf war chancenlos.
Juli Zeh (Unterleuten)
Chinese culture had boys memorize the Dao for centuries. Many cultures commit their sacred, foundational texts to memory.... When you read a hundred words a hundred times they get woven into your soul.... Understanding is not as important. When we struggle with a text, it changes us. Why put things in memory? ... We memorize to contemplate, not to show off.
Andrew Kern
Steve paid attention to every nuance of the slides, even details that, as far as I could tell, were invisible to the naked eye, like font kerning—which is adjusting the space between letters—and font smoothing to make sure the curves on each font were perfect. He hired a presentation professional, Wayne Goodrich, to help finalize these details and to make sure that at every single stop on the road show, all the pieces were in place to show the presentation and video perfectly.
Lawrence Levy (To Pixar and Beyond: My Unlikely Journey with Steve Jobs to Make Entertainment History)
De tijd heeft littekenweefsel over mijn hart gevormd. Het is een andere pijn, een ander verdriet. Een mens verhuist in de tijd, weg van de kern van zijn droefenis, naar de periferie van de pijn, naar de leegte van het gemis. Missen is de voorstad van verdriet. Daar woon ik.
Alicja Gescinska (Een soort van liefde)
take a deep breath Pick yourself up, dust yourself off Start all over again And again and again and again. May be easier said than done, but it can be done. Slowly but surely — and sometimes, not so surely, but with radical hope. Step by precious step.Hour by hour.Day by day.
KERN JEROME FIELDS DOROTHY
In allem aber möchte ich zum Wesen dringen. Beim Werk, beim Suchen eines Wegs, In Herzens Ringen. Zum Wesen der Vergangenheit, Es aufzufinden, Bis zu den Wurzeln, bis zum Kern, Bis zu den Gründen. Und will die Schicksalsfäden klug Zusammenstecken, Will denken, fühlen, lieben und Stets neu entdecken (Boris Pasternak)
Fabio Volo
The diamond absolutes. I am neither internee nor informer; An inner emigre, grown long-haired And thoughtful; a wood-kerne Escaped from the massacre, Taking protective colouring From bole and bark, feeling Every wind that blows; Who, blowing up these sparks For their meagre heat, have missed The once-in-a-lifetime portent, The comet's pulsing tose.
Seamus Heaney (North)
You only missin’ if somebody looking for you.” Kat’s words slice through the air. “Understand? We ain’t missin’, Peach. We just gone.

Peggy Kern (Little Peach)
When we don’t believe we are enough as we are, attention starts looking like love, external significance starts looking like success, and validation starts looking like worthiness.
Jamie Kern Lima (Worthy: How to Believe You Are Enough and Transform Your Life)
Our setbacks are almost always setups for what we’re called to do next in our lives.
Jamie Kern Lima (Worthy: How to Believe You Are Enough and Transform Your Life)
When you change your relationship with rejection and failure, you change your entire life.
Jamie Kern Lima (Worthy: How to Believe You Are Enough and Transform Your Life)
Rape myths also have a geography. This gets embedded into the mental map of safety and danger that every woman carries in her mind. 'What were you doing in that neighbourhood? At that bar? Waiting alone for a bus?' 'Why were you walking alone at night?' 'Why did you take a shortcut?' We anticipate these questions and they shape our mental maps as much as any actual threat. These sexist myths serve to remind us that we're expected to limit our freedom to walk, work, have fun, and take up space in the city. They say: The city isn't really for you.
Leslie Kern (Feminist City: Claiming Space in a Man-Made World)
Maakt het uit, vroeg ik, maakt het iets uit of je weet waarom iemand je verlaat? Leiden gesprekken over waarom en hoe en met welke gevoelens ergens toe? Het verhaal kan immers een leugen zijn, en de uitkomst blijft hetzelfde en het onverenigbare of het onoverbrugbare dat de pijnlijke kern is van zo'n breuk verdwijnt er niet door. Al dat praten is alleen een ritueel.
Marijke Schermer (In het oog)
In niets onderscheidden ze zich van de heikneuters waar ze later hun voeten op zouden vegen. Het waren nullen in elke betekenis van het woord, nullen die de kern vormen van een fatsoenlijk en jammerlijk burgerdom. Ze sliepen best en klaagde nooit; ze waren niet vrolijk en niet ongelukkig. De onverschilligen die Dante naar het voorportaal van de Hel heeft verwezen. De lui van de bovenlaag.
Henry Miller (Tropic of Cancer (Tropic, #1))
Denn dieser Ort konnte keine gewöhnliche Stadt sein – er musste den ursprünglichen Kern und Mittelpunkt irgendeines urzeitlichen und unfassbaren Kapitels der Erdgeschichte gebildet haben, der nur in den dunkelsten und verzerrtesten Mythen vagen Widerhall findet und vom Chaos der Erdwehen verschlungen wurde, lange bevor irgendeine uns bekannte Menschenrasse aus dem Affenstadium herauswatschelte
H.P. Lovecraft (Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, Vol 2)
And Kern guesses, then, that the spiders’ meddling might go further than they had thought. If there had been some tiny bead present in the brain of all humans, that had told each other, They are like you; that had drawn some thin silk thread of empathy, person to person, in a planet-wide net – what might then have happened? Would there have been the same wars, massacres, persecutions and crusades?
Adrian Tchaikovsky (Children of Time (Children of Time, #1))
Doctor Avrana Kern awoke to a dozen complex feeds of information, none of which helped her restore her memories of what had just happened or why she was groggily returning to consciousness in a cold-sleep unit. She could not open her eyes; her entire body was cramping and there was nothing in her mental space except the overkill of information assailing her, every system of the Sentry Pod clamouring to report.
Adrian Tchaikovsky (Children of Time (Children of Time, #1))
When we courageously take steps toward unlearning the lies and gaining awareness of the truths, and assessing the impact of living our lives in ways that are inauthentic, disconnected, numb, people-pleasing, and out of alignment with who we truly are, we begin our journey of going from unseen to seen. From invisible to visible. From disconnected to connected. From doubting ourselves to trusting ourselves. From craving love to realizing we already are . . . love.
Jamie Kern Lima (Worthy: How to Believe You Are Enough and Transform Your Life)
Reshma Saujani, in her book Brave, Not Perfect, writes, “We’ve become conditioned to compromise and shrink ourselves in order to be liked. The problem is, when you work so hard to get everyone to like you, you very often end up not liking yourself so much.
Jamie Kern Lima (Believe It)
Self-worth is the internal, deep-rooted belief that you are enough and worthy of love and belonging, just as you are. On the other hand, self-confidence, while also an internal trait, is generally linked to your assessment of how you compare to the outside world.
Jamie Kern Lima (Worthy: How to Believe You Are Enough and Transform Your Life)
In life it’s not our experiences that make us unique, it’s our response to those experiences. And to the uncertainty they immerse us in. Where you come from doesn’t have to determine where you’re going, but it definitely shapes the foundation you have to build on.

Monkeys the monkeys are back they want to take away my world is only for me and my monkeys are not as they say as they seem as much as they claim to be from Earth I know better vermin they are vermin leaving the sinking ship of Earth has sunk and no word no word none
Adrian Tchaikovsky (Children of Time (Children of Time, #1))
Alles aan hem en aan zijn omgeving veranderde continu: zijn haar, zijn lichaam, waar hij die nacht zou slapen. Vaak had hij het idee dat hij een vloeistof was, iets wat steeds van de ene felgekleurde fles in de andere werd gegoten, waarbij er elke keer een klein beetje werd gemorst of in de fles achterbleef. Maar zijn vriendschap met Jude gaf hem het gevoel dat er iets wezenlijks en onveranderlijks aan hem was, dat hij ondanks al zijn verschillende gedaantes een vaste kern had, iets wat Jude kon zien, al kon hij dat zelf niet, aslof hij pas werkelijk bestond als Jude er getuige van was.
Hanya Yanagihara (A Little Life)
Wie gut, dass ich verborgen bin und niemals wieder sichtbar werde. Mein Kern - im Widerspruch zur Erde - begab sich selbst zum Monde hin, jetzt kannst du ruhig schlafen. Der Ort, wo wir uns trafen, war niemals wirklich in der Zeit. Verzeih mir dies - aus Einsamkeit herausgeschälte - Wissen. Vielleicht fühlt sich dein Kissen trotzdem auch manchmal tauig an, vielleicht verkündet dir der Hahn vom Hühnerbaum her oft zu grell, dass jetzt der Morgen wieder hell und gläsern über Deinem Dach heraufsteigt, während du ganz schwach und übernächtig bist? Ich bin es nicht, die dich dann quält, ich bin die Magd, die Äpfel schält im Mond und keinen isst.
Christine Lavant
I'm not trying to say that women like being fearful, but that some of the pleasure of city life relies on its inherent unknowability and on one's courage in braving that unknowability. In fact, unpredictability and disorder can come to represent the 'authentically urban' to women who reject safe suburban conformity and repetitive rural rhythms.
Leslie Kern (Feminist City: Claiming Space in a Man-Made World)
Showing up fully and revealing who you truly are with the intention of connection and love is very different from confusing attention with love and trying to reveal things in hopes of calling for attention. Showing up authentically in hopes of true connection is very different from ploys to get attention in hopes it will lead to a feeling of validation or significance.
Jamie Kern Lima (Worthy: How to Believe You Are Enough and Transform Your Life)
It’s been said many times that you are the culmination of the five or so people you spend the most time with. Think about that for a moment. Aside from your kiddos, of course, if you’re a parent, who are the five or so people you see or talk to most often? Do they sharpen you and help you reach your full potential and live your best life? Do they love you well and inspire you to love greater?
Jamie Kern Lima (Believe It)
Everything in life simply carries the meaning we attach to it. That meaning creates the emotions we feel around it. And the emotions we feel then create our life experience. When you change the meaning you assign to something, and truly believe that meaning, everything shifts. Disappointment becomes divine trust. Self-loathing becomes gratitude. Rejection becomes resiliency. Self-worth solidifies.
Jamie Kern Lima (Worthy: How to Believe You Are Enough and Transform Your Life)
When it comes to defeating capitalism, I’m not so naïve as to think we can win. Not how you think. Not decisively, for all time. All our protests, all our organizing, they can’t defeat the tanks and gas and guns and greed machines—at least not forever, not right now. So what I think, these days, is you have to accept that there’s no winning, and learn to live for the joy of the struggle. And for maybe. Maybe someday.
Sim Kern (The Free People's Village)
Leadership isn’t difficult, son. Start by showing your people the worker you want them to be by being that worker yourself. If you drive yourself to the point of exhaustion, so will the people who rely on you for guidance. If you slack off and don’t care, so will your people, and if you do your job while being certain to take care of yourself at the same time… so will they. First, last, always: lead by example. Everything else comes from that.
Robert M. Kerns (It Ain't Over... (Cole & Srexx, #1))
Self-confidence is what you show on the outside. Self-worth is what you feel on the inside. Self-confidence is based on mastery. Self-worth is based on identity. Self-confidence is what you can do. Self-worth is who you are. Self-confidence is believing you’re skilled enough. Self-worth is believing you ARE enough. Self-confidence fluctuates based on your environment. Self-worth is stable through every environment. Self-confidence is fragile. Self-worth is foundational. Self-confidence is the belief in your abilities as a person. Self-worth is the belief in your value as a person. Self-confidence is “I’m striving to earn love.” Self-worth is knowing “I am love.” Self-confidence gives you drive. Self-worth gives you peace. Self-confidence is optional. Self-worth is essential. Self-confidence eventually surrenders. Self-worth ultimately prevails. Self-worth is your foundation. Self-confidence is the house you build on top of it. Your house will only ever be as secure as the foundation it’s built upon.
Jamie Kern Lima (Worthy: How to Believe You Are Enough and Transform Your Life)
Als ein Schriftgelehrter Jesus einmal fragte, […]was nach seiner Meinung das grüßte Gebot im Gesetz sei, sagte er, es sei die Liebe zu Gott. Das zweite Gebot, man solle seinen Nächsten genauso lieben wie sich selbst, sei jedoch dem ersten gleich. Offenbar ging er davon aus, dass jeder sich selbst liebt; Menschenkenntnis war nicht gerade seine Stärke. In dieser Hinsicht mußte man erst noch auf den Juden aus Wien warten. Wer sich selbst nicht liebte oder gar hasste, durfte also dem zweiten ‚Wort’ zufolge auch seine Mitmenschen hassen, man durfte morden, wenn man dann auch Selbstmord verübte wie Judas oder Hitler. Von der Hölle hatte Jesus offenbar keine Ahnung, aber das war eigentlich klar: schließlich war er ein Wesen, das Gott liebte wie sich selbst. Aber der Kern seiner Antwort lag im Ist-Gleich-Zeichen, das er zwischen die fünf Gebote auf der einen und die fünf auf der anderen Tafel setzte; eines Tages formulierte er sogar eine positive Version der Goldenen Regel: ‚Was Du willst, das man dir tu, das füge auch dem andern zu, denn das ist das Gesetz und die Propheten.
Harry Mulisch (The Discovery of Heaven)
Maybe 99.99% of our lives will be spent stuck trudging down the narrow sidewalks afforded to us by capitalism. Roads have taken away our land, our right to roam and play. Artificial scarcity forces us to work ourselves sick at shitty, soul-crushing jobs or we risk death from starvation, homelessness, or medical neglect. Environmental destruction has severed us from our nurturing nonhuman relatives. Colonization has erased our ancestors and histories. Step out of line, raise your voice against the state, make a mistake, and you’ll be crushed with swift and brutal violence. But once in a while, for a brief bubble in time, enough of us get together to defy the ruling classes. To step out in the street and carve our own path. And even if I get to experience that for less than 0.01% of my time on this earth, I’ll take it.
Sim Kern (The Free People's Village)
Sehr oft werde ich nach meinem Lieblingskomponisten gefragt - eine typische Frage von Laien an Musiker, eine, die wir Musiker uns gegenseitig wohl eher selten stellen. Vielleicht weil wir sie vordergründig als banal empfinden. Vielleicht auch, weil eine direkte Antwort darauf, ehrlich gesagt, unmöglich ist. Musik ist zu meinem Leben geworden. Nichts von dem, was ich tue, hat nicht irgendwas mit Musik zu tun. Ich habe Werke berühmter und weniger bekannter Komponisten einstudiert und dirigiert, aus ganz unterschiedlichen Epochen. Ich habe versucht, sie zu verstehen. Unzählige Stunden habe ich darüber nachgedacht, wie die Orchester, die ich dirigiere, die Werke spielen könnten, um dem Publikum die darin liegenden Aussagen nahe zubringen. Ich habe mich bemüht, bis zum Kern der Kompositionen vorzudringen und so mancher Rätselhaftigkeit auf die Spur zu kommen. Ich tue es heute noch. So sind mir meist die Komponisten, mit deren Werken ich mich gerade intensiv beschäftige, am präsentesten und vielleicht in dem Moment auch am nächsten. Aber sind sie mir dann auch die liebsten ? Ich weiß es nicht. Meine Entdeckungsreise durch die Welt der klassischen Musik, die vor sechzig Jahren an der Westküste Kaliforniens in einem Fischerdorf begann, ist längst nicht zu Ende. Im Gegenteil : Meine künstlerische Neugier treibt mich täglich weiter in diese faszinierte Welt hinein, deren Umfang immer größer wird, je tiefer ich in sie vordringe. Die Welt der Musik gleicht unserem expandierenden Universum. Je mehr ich mich mit Musik befasse, desto weniger meine ich über sie zu wissen. Wie also sollte ich diese offenbar gar nicht so banale Frage nach meinem Lieblingskomponisten beantworten ? Vielleicht, indem ich sie anders formuliere : "In deiner freien Zeit, in Stunden, die nicht verplant sind und ganz dir gehören - welche Musik würdest du dann für dich spielen ?" Die Antwort darauf ist viel einfacher. Es ist die Musik von Johann Sebastian Bach. Das sage ich ohne den Hauch eines Zweifels. Von frühester Kindheit an hat mich Bach verfolgt und ich ihn. Bis heute. Seine Musik lässt mich nicht los. Ihre Tiefe ist unendlich. Sie vereint alles, was klassische Musik ausmacht. Und bis heute bin ich auf der Suche nach dem Warum.

Alan Thicke appreciated the “genuine sense of family, which is especially important if you’re raising kids and coming off a colossal, resounding failure. I loved the warmth, the positive-ness that comes from a successful show. I like what it stood for. Jason Seaver’s values were close to my own. I often found myself saying things at home that I said on the show. Of course, it’s easier to parent when you have eleven writers following you around.” Joanna Kerns said, “I loved coming to work every day. I loved playing a character I could live with. The security of that job for an actor opened so many doors for me. It changed my life. All we did is laugh. We had it so great.
Kirk Cameron (Still Growing: An Autobiography)
Twentieth-century music has brought new complexity into rhythms, studio production, instrumentation, and a variety of other features that were uniform, less varied, or nonexistent in previous music. Modern compositions, even in narrow musicological terms, do not necessarily provide less depth than their predecessors. The songs of Jerome Kern, Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, or the Beatles are arguably no less compositionally complex (and perhaps more complex) than the lieder of Schubert. Schubert wrote about 700 songs, most of which no one ever listens to or analyzes. Many of these songs are technically and compositionally undistinguished, and tend to be formulaic in their melodic treatment. Are "Bill," "Take the A Train," "Crepuscule with Nellie," and "A Day in the Life" really inferior or lesser products?
Tyler Cowen (In Praise of Commercial Culture)
Over moraal: Ik hou eigenlijk niet zo van een moraal. Maar als ik er één moet bedenken dan is het: Vind je eigen kracht in je eigenheid, vind jouw individuele kern en kijk dan de wereld en de werkelijkheid recht in de ogen.

The very first hit factory was T.B. Harms, a Tin Pan Alley publishing company overseen by Max Dreyfus. With staff writers like Jerome Kern, George and Ira Gershwin, Cole Porter, and Richard Rodgers, T.B. Harms was the dominant publisher of popular music in the early twentieth century. Dreyfus called his writers “the boys” and installed pianos for them to compose on around the office on West Twenty-Eighth, the street that gave Tin Pan Alley its name, allegedly for the tinny-sounding pianos passersby heard from the upper-story windows of the row houses. The sheet-music sellers also employed piano players in their street-level stores, who would perform the Top 40 of the 1920s for browsing customers.
John Seabrook (The Song Machine: Inside the Hit Factory)
The portable device is the future of digital media—at least in the short term—and there is nothing more portable than good audio content. It’s really the only content that is useful to people who also want to be doing something else with their time.

No to pain. No to abuse, whether it’s physical, mental, emotional and psychological. No more!
Ingrid Kern (Triumph: Taming the Monster Within)
Ich glaube mittlerweile, dass wir im Kern unseres Daseins Sammler sind, die ihr Leben lang versuchen, sich selbst zusammenzufügen. Das Zusammenfügen wird uns nicht gelingen. Wir sind zu gut darin, die Lücken wegzulügen, die zwischen unseren Fragmenten liegen.

Remember when the Kerns put striped carpeting on their stairs and kept falling down them because they could tell where the edges were?" Aggie laughed. And glancing up Jane saw her shake her head just slightly and nearly imperceptible hug. Apparently Aggie had decided, as so many women had before her, that being angry with Duncan was just not worth the effort.

The state’s courts have ruled there is no such obligation for government officials. In Warren v. District of Columbia, the court cited: “a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any particular individual citizen”.

Keep the faith: Abolitionist activist and writer Mariame Kaba says “hope is a discipline.” It is not a feeling that we have or do not have, that appears or disappears. It is not simple optimism or relentless positivity. Rather, hope is a practice. You choose it every day by taking actions, however small, toward creating the world you want to live in. Just because we might not live to see it fully realized is no reason not to practise hope. Kaba says that she reminds young organizers: “Your timeline is not the timeline on which movements occur.” She finds freedom in letting go of the assumption that all of the work can and will be done on a knowable timeline, because then you can “do the work that’s necessary as you see it and contribute in the ways you see fit.

Fabian passes over his best guess, paths to take that might dodge the worst of the incoming fire as they accelerate out of this mess; Meshner counters. Kern shoots them both down, figuratively speaking, modelling worst-case scenarios for them that see the Lightfoot smeared across a kilometre of empty space. The acerbic computer helpfully attaches a legend identifying just which pieces of the wreckage are Meshner and Fabian, because she always has computing power for put-downs.

Het is bijzonder moeilijk zich aan de gevolgen te onttrekken zolang men het beginsel blijft huldigen. Door God te vervangen door de mens als beginsel van het gezag heeft de Revolutie het atheïsme wettelijk geproclameerd. Vanaf dat moment werd dit wettelijk atheïsme er geheel natuurlijk toe gebracht zijn stempel te drukken op alle manifestaties van het openbaar leven. Wij zien dat ook vandaag nog met lede ogen aan. Wie daarover verbaasd is, heeft niet begrepen wat de kern is van de revolutionaire beweging van 1789. Want het ideologisch karakter van de Franse Revolutie zoeken we niet in de uitspattingen of de misdaden van 1793 : het is niet in 1793 maar in 1789 dat Frankrijk de diepe wonde heeft opgelopen waaraan ons land sindsdien lijdt, en die haar dood kan veroorzaken als een stevige en levenskrachtige reactie er niet in slaagt haar terug op het spoor van een volledige genezing te zetten. Het is in 1789 dat de vertegenwoordigers van de Revolutie afgestapt zijn van het begrip “ christelijk volk ” om het deïstisch of atheïstisch rationalisme op de sociale orde toe te passen ; zo hebben zij aan de wereld het triest spektakel van een nationale geloofsafval laten zien, waarvoor tot op dat ogenblik in de katholieke landen geen voorgaande was. Het is in 1789 dat er in de sociale orde een werkelijke Godsmoord heeft plaatsgehad, te vergelijken met wat het joodse volk zeventien eeuwen geleden met de Godmens gedaan had.

Hier zit ik gevangen,’ zei hij halfluid, ‘in mijn oude vel: een man in de neergang van het leven, grijs, dik, en zo tot in de kern van mijn wezen vermoeid en onverschillig, dat ik de indruk maak mild te zijn.

organics at a much lower price than most other stores. To sum it up, your brand is the promise you make to your customers about what they will experience when doing business with you.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. — MARIANNE WILLIAMSON

You either walk into your story and own your truth, or you live outside of your story, hustling for your worthiness. — BRENÉ BROWN

As human beings, we’re not wired to be happy, we’re wired to be comfortable. We’re programmed to seek what we’ve known. Even though we think we want to be happy, our subconscious drives us to do everything we can to get back to what’s comfortable, a place that most accurately reflects our sense of worthiness.

Rejection is God’s (or the Universe’s) protection. I haven’t been rejected. My Creator hid my value from them because they’re not assigned to my destiny. Rejection and failure are victorious! They’re a reminder I’m one of the brave ones willing to go for
