Kim K Quotes

Bize aslında kim olduğumuzu gösteren şey, yeteneklerimizden çok seçimlerimizdir...

You are pathetic, Rache," Jenks said, and my eyes darted to the top of the rack and I saw him standing there, hands on his hips and frowning at me, his wings a silver blur. "Rachel and Trent, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. No wait, it was a hospital room, and he had his hands on your ass and you had your tongue down his throat. I can see why you might be confused.

He wished he had words for what Kim was, the aching pain and the starlight, the beauty and the ugliness.

But Kim had wanted him anyway, and he’d fought accordingly, until he got it through Will’s thick skull that it was time to stop seeing where they went and start heading there on purpose

Kim was starlight and privilege; Will had his feet firmly fixed in the mud. They didn’t belong together. Except they did.

He had no idea what civilians, or civilised people, would say in these circumstances. Thanks for that, old chap, much obliged, perhaps? Ought he apologise for coming in his mouth? Would this be a good moment to restart the conversation about where Kim had learned to use a knife? Thank God they were British. He took a deep breath. “Cup of tea?

What are you doing?' If I texted back too soon, he would think I wasn't doing anything and then he would probably try to come over. I watched another episode before texting him again: 'Watching Kim K. shop for a dress. You?' He texted back: 'Standing outside your door'. Shit!

So many things mattered about Kim. The way his deep brown eyes lit when he smiled, the intense concentration he brought to work or to bed. How he had made undrinkably weak tea for Will just once, watched him make his own with catlike attention, and got it spoon-dissolvingly perfect ever since. There were so many tiny wisping moments of trust and truth and vulnerability that had slowly become something real and solid between them, and Will didn’t want it to slip through his fingers. Not again.

Suffice to say I love Kim dearly, but ‘love’ means an awful lot of things. I think more people should understand that.

I’m sure you’re right about that,” Kim said. “But I really can’t bring myself to regret the man you might have been, given the one you are.

Maybe all he could do was be the port in Kim’s storm, but that was what he’d do, for as long as it took.

The eel's pause gave Kim far too long to weigh how incredibly stupid this impulse was-- as if the tattoo covering his wrist weren't reminder enough of how irrevocable some rash ideas could be.

Kim was back within the allotted time, which was mildly impressive since he looked as if it hurt to move. Will doubted he’d eaten anything. “Tea?” he said, because the kettle was on and he was furious but not a monster. “God, yes.

Will had left the Army like he’d joined it, as a private, and ‘cloak and dagger’ was accurate if you meant ‘stabbing people in the dark’. Kim was a bloody twisting slippery weasel liar, and Will had to hold back a savage grin of pride.

I didn’t do anything.” “You stayed,” Kim said. “You loved me. You watched me, which obliged me to behave as the man I’d like to be, rather than the less impressive one I often am. I don’t like it when you’re not there either, Will. I’m better with you.

We’d probably be better at those if you were able to trust me.” “I could trust you,” Will said. “I truly could. Could you not let me down when I do?” Kim breathed out. “I could try.” “That’s what I want, then. To find out what we’re doing, and to do it a bit better.

No,” Kim said. “That’s the daily drip of insult you can expect as things are now, which is why I don’t want them to get worse. Because you are everything more, and I resent to the bottom of my soul that you should feel any other way. Wait for me; I’ll call you. Be good.

I wouldn’t dream of it.” Kim caught his hand and kissed the palm. “I couldn’t. You changed everything, Will. My life, my work, myself. It’s all changed—all better—because of you.” “You did that yourself, you daft sod. I just shouted at you a bit.” “A lot. God, I adore you.

He met Kim’s dark eyes. “I think about you all the time. I see you hurt and it makes me want to burn things to the ground. I don’t know what a future’s supposed to look like or how it would work, but I’m not letting you go without a fight, no matter what. I don’t know what I’d do all day.

He did want to live decently, in theory. He had always expected a respectable life with the trappings of church, children, brass doorstep, vegetable plot, just as his mother had dreamed of for him. Those were things any man, or most, would want to have. The blood-red uncivilised streak of his nature that had blossomed in the war didn’t want them. That streak wanted someone who would ask him to infiltrate night-clubs and kick people’s heads in. That streak wanted Kim, who offered none of the things that appealed to Will’s respectable ambitions and everything that fed the wolf.

The North Korean capital, Pyongyang, is a city consecrated to the worship of a father-son dynasty. (I came to think of them, with their nuclear-family implications, as 'Fat Man and Little Boy.') And a river runs through it. And on this river, the Taedong River, is moored the only American naval vessel in captivity. It was in January 1968 that the U.S.S. Pueblo strayed into North Korean waters, and was boarded and captured. One sailor was killed; the rest were held for nearly a year before being released. I looked over the spy ship, its radio antennae and surveillance equipment still intact, and found photographs of the captain and crew with their hands on their heads in gestures of abject surrender. Copies of their groveling 'confessions,' written in tremulous script, were also on show. So was a humiliating document from the United States government, admitting wrongdoing in the penetration of North Korean waters and petitioning the 'D.P.R.K.' (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) for 'lenience.' Kim Il Sung ('Fat Man') was eventually lenient about the men, but not about the ship. Madeleine Albright didn't ask to see the vessel on her visit last October, during which she described the gruesome, depopulated vistas of Pyongyang as 'beautiful.' As I got back onto the wharf, I noticed a refreshment cart, staffed by two women under a frayed umbrella. It didn't look like much—one of its three wheels was missing and a piece of brick was propping it up—but it was the only such cart I'd see. What toothsome local snacks might the ladies be offering? The choices turned out to be slices of dry bread and cups of warm water. Nor did Madeleine Albright visit the absurdly misnamed 'Demilitarized Zone,' one of the most heavily militarized strips of land on earth. Across the waist of the Korean peninsula lies a wasteland, roughly following the 38th parallel, and packed with a titanic concentration of potential violence. It is four kilometers wide (I have now looked apprehensively at it from both sides) and very near to the capital cities of both North and South. On the day I spent on the northern side, I met a group of aging Chinese veterans, all from Szechuan, touring the old battlefields and reliving a war they helped North Korea nearly win (China sacrificed perhaps a million soldiers in that campaign, including Mao Anying, son of Mao himself). Across the frontier are 37,000 United States soldiers. Their arsenal, which has included undeclared nuclear weapons, is the reason given by Washington for its refusal to sign the land-mines treaty. In August 1976, U.S. officers entered the neutral zone to trim a tree that was obscuring the view of an observation post. A posse of North Koreans came after them, and one, seizing the ax with which the trimming was to be done, hacked two U.S. servicemen to death with it. I visited the ax also; it's proudly displayed in a glass case on the North Korean side.

Kim stared at him, eyes wide, and Will didn’t even think. He just kissed him, hard, and felt Kim’s mouth responding desperately, hands clutching his shoulders, hanging on for dear life. Kissing in the open because nothing at all mattered at this moment but to know they were together. The rest could wait for later, if there was a later.

Your mention of Elizabeth David reminded me of her recipe for risotto alla Milanese, which I have wanted to try for a long time. As I am sure was the case in your area, the grocery store shelves went bare as everyone prepared for end times. In a harebrained panic, I rushed to C & K Importing for their gallon cans of artichoke hearts, and by the time I got to the Mayfair, all the macaroni and bottled water were gone. Fortunately, I already had the ingredients for risotto in my pantry. It was a balm to turn my attention to rice and butter. It was my own small way of rebuffing shattered nerves and the Reds, although I suppose hamburgers or hot dogs would have been a more appropriate form of patriotic resistance.

Apartmanın girişindeki lambayı sen mi kırdın Bülent?" "Hangisini?" "Otomatik yanan, sensörlü lamba." "Hayır." "Komşu görmüş, yalan söyleme. Süpürge sapıyla kırmışsın dün gece." Önüme baktım. "Neden kırdın?" Cevap yok. "Hasta mısın evladım? Söyle bana, neyin var, neden kırdın lambayı, yapma böyle..." "Kırdımsa kırdım, ne olacak! Çok mu değerliymiş?" "Lamba senden değerli mi evladım, lambanın amına koyayım, lamba kim? Yöneticiye de dedim. Lambanızı sikeyim, kaç paraysa veririz. Sen değerlisin benim için." "Beni görünce yanmıyordu baba." "Nasıl ya?" "Görmezden geliyordu, yanmıyordu. kKaç sefer yok saydı beni." "E beni görünce de yanmıyordu bazen, böyle el sallayacaksın havaya doğru, o zaman yanıyor." "Hadi ya! Sahiden mi?" "Evet. Ucuzundan takmışlar. Bizimle bir alakası yok." Babama sarıldım, yıllar sonra.

How? And why would you care?” I asked and ignored the angry glance Paul was directing at me. “He is a pathetic excuse for a vampire, don't you see? Feasting on animals!” He scoffed. “He thought he could change me, too. To be ‘strong’ like him, but I can tell you that there is no strength in hiding in the shadows drinking animal blood. The blood of humans…” he paused, making a deep and audible sniff with his nose. “…is just too enticing. Too delicious. Strengthening.” “You’re a monster!” I yelled, the realization that Janet had been the temptation he was talking about finally sinking in. “A monster? Now, now…what would Salem think if you called us such names? He and I are no different, you know? I imagine it will be little time at all before he drains you of blood, too.” “You are wrong about him. He’s different!” Why had he said ‘too’? Paul was about to say something to me but Kim shook her head. “This isn't the time or place, Paul,

in my name to train young women for global leadership. Wellesley’s twelfth and thirteenth presidents, Diana Chapman Walsh and Kim Bottomly, embraced the idea and, over several years, helped put the pieces together. In January 2010, I traveled to Massachusetts for the inaugural session. The Albright Institute was founded on the belief that a student doesn’t have to major in international relations to have a global mind-set. By giving young women the chance to work in partnership with peers from a variety of disciplines and countries, we encourage them to see differences of perspective as a strength and even as a tool to help solve complex problems. To that end, we provide an intense course of study over a three-week period between the fall and spring semesters, complemented by summer internships. Of the hundreds of Wellesley juniors and seniors who apply annually, forty are selected. In the first two weeks of each session, we offer classes run by professors, former government officials, nonprofit leaders, and businesspeople. During the final seven days, the fellows work in teams to analyze and make recommendations regarding a thorny international problem. At the end, they present their findings, which we pick apart and discuss.

Biz, başbakanın veya bir başkasının söylediklerini okuyarak veya dinleyerek bir konuyu anlayamayız, gerçeğe ulaşamayız. Haber, muhabirin yazdığı şeydir. Çünkü muhabir, teorik olarak diyelim, 5N ve 1K'yi ve başka soruları sorarak, başka söylenenleri, bakış açılarını, bilgileri hesaba katarak haberini yazar, neler olup bittiğini anlamaya ve sonra da anlatmaya çalışır.

THE TALKING CURE K. J. Zimring | 3996 words Kim Zimring recently moved from Georgia to Seattle. Her poignant story about an old man's memories of a perilous childhood, however, was written in New Mexico, at Walter Jon Williams's "indisputably fine Rio Hondo workshop." Kim is a graduate of Clarion 2005 and her previous stories have appeared in Asimov's, Analog, and the Writers of the Future anthology. My first memory is of my dead mother. I'm crouched by her face, mouth close enough to kiss, waiting for a breath that never comes. An open jar of mushrooms sits beside her, spoon embedded in its boggy heart. Botulism is the cause of death, I presume, though why I selected that for the image I couldn't say. Some warning about home-canned goods wrapped together in my childish brain with the classic Oedipal love/fear complex: Mother, bringing food and death.

He opens my door and just as I clear it, he slams me up against his car. “You look incredibly sexy today,” he murmurs. My body tingles in every place possible, as the warmth of his breath passes over my mouth. I look down at what I’m wearing. Skinny denim jeans like the ones Dahlia helped me pick out a while ago, a tight gray sweater with one of my grandmother’s glass pendants hanging from my neck, and low, black ankle boots. “Really? In this outfit?” He cages me in and I can feel his hard c**k against my stomach. “It’s not the clothes, it’s the way you move in them.

Yine düşündüm ki, eğer bu gençler, İslamı terk etmenin (irtidatın) ölüm cezasını gerektiren bir şey olduğuna dair K'uran ayetlerini ve Muhammed’in , "Her kim dinini (ki Müslümanlıktır) değiştirirse onu hemen öldürün" şeklindeki emirlerini ve bu hükümlerin 1400 yıl boyunca uygulanışını bilselerdi, şeriatçıların, "Din adına ölüm fetvası verilmez” şeklindeki yalanlarını sergileyebilir ve karşılarındakileri kolaylıkla susturabilirlerdi.

K-culture has the potential to be a powerful diplomatic tool. I'm convinced that the late Korean president Kim Daejung will be proven right in his prediction that Haley, not politics will bring north and south together. North Korean black marketers are literally risking their lives to smuggle in copies of South Korean videos and dramas. In 2009, a North Korean defector to the south told Time magazine that in North Korea, bootleg American movies fetched 35 cents on the black market, whereas South Korean movies cost $3.75, because the punishment for being caught with the latter is much more severe.

Comfortable?’ Rachel looks insulted. ‘Yinka, I want to look sexy on my wedding day. Do you think Kim K is comfortable when she wears those waist trainers?

Maybe Kim would, maybe he wouldn’t: Will could wait and see. In the meantime, he still had his right hand and someone to think about, plus a sense of exciting possibilities that he hadn’t felt in so long he’d almost forgotten what it was like. A fuck, a fight, a friendship: he’d take any or all.

the Bible does not present what the right human thoughts about God are. The Bible shows the right thoughts of God about humans.

PRAYER POINT: Listen to your heart and what is deepest within you. Pray short, heartfelt prayers, not trying to impress God but expressing your inmost feelings.

Kim shut the door behind Norris at last, and Will heard the bolt go. He came back through the shop to where Will stood, face unreadable, eyes watchful, incongruous and beautiful in his scuffed black-and-white finery. Will stepped forward and shoved him against a bookcase.

A very good question. I don’t know about you, but the position of hand puppet to Lord Waring does not appeal to me.” “Nor me. If I want someone sticking their hand up my arse—” “Oh, do go on,” Kim said, in a tone of great interest. “I’m not going to be his hand puppet either, was what I meant.

Kim rolled his eyes. “Oh, please. You know who you are, and you wear it well. I really don’t know why you listen to me.” “Nor do I, you corkscrew-tongued bastard. Jesus wept. You could open wine bottles with that.

Don’t be a shit,” Kim said, and the worst part of that was he sounded entirely resigned, as though he expected Will to be a shit. “I’m not that bad, and you’re not that stupid.

If you’d listened to a word I’d said at any point in the last weeks, it would now be held securely,” Kim snapped. “It’s a pity you’re constitutionally incapable of that.

I’ll manage,” Kim said. “All I need to know is that you’re with me today and will be here tomorrow. If I can have today and tomorrow on a rolling basis—” “Yes.

- Today we hire a Paki, this was it, she made her bets, a huge Pakistani guy will beat her, rob her and rape her, tonight, Tommy!! Fu…ing bitch she is going to die now!! – Ready made (premeditated) or instant: plans. (Solicitation of murder for hire.) Organized crimes. Mafia. Gang. Mob. “Coincidence.” (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) International. Juicy ideas and plans. Murder. Revealed. Slipped out. Family. Business. Drugs. Past. Nazi. Emotional. Reaction. True. Rare. Impression. Eyes. Blazing. Evil. No Mask. - No way Martina, calm down Lil Kim! That's out of question. Are you out of your mind? - Nononono, f..k you too why do you defending her?! - What, Martina!?!? What are you talking about?! And stop moving, stay still!! Hold your hand up! - We hire a paki! - No we don’t! Stop moving your arm!! Let me stop the bleeding! Martina I am not defending her, she just got me lynched for no reason with a lie, I am pretty mad at her, trust me, I’m in pain. - So we hire a paki! - No we don’t!! - So I hire a paki! I don’t need your money! F..k her! I hire two pakistani guys!! She gets it now, Tommy! - Nooo! - What no? F..k you too, Tommy!!! I hire a paki or two! - What?! No, you don’t do shit! Stop!! Stop calling me Tommy! Who the f..k told you to call me the way my mother called me when I was a kid and you weren’t born yet? - Pakis will rape her and rob her and beat her up!! - Jesus Christ, you are crazy!! Get back to Earth! Right now! Martina!! Maybe Sabrina is a f…g nasty criminal, a bad person but she deserves a lawyer she can stick up in her butt, she is going to rot in jail this time finally or she can pay us, a lot! - No no no this was it, it was enough of her, no more court house, f…g joke!!! – There was lethal rage in her eyes. I felt like if I convince her to not hire a Pakistani or two to kill Sabrina then she will kill me on the spot instead just to calm her rage. It was so absurd. - Don’t you move your f…g hand! I am not telling you again to calm the f..k down and stop moving around. And listen to me. I am not telling you again to forget about hiring Pakistanis, you idiot!! Are you this f…g stupid? She will be held accountable for her crimes, Martina, soon, on court.

You are just f….g stupid Martina!! You listen to me before I smack you instead of three of your weak parents and your big brother. The cops catch the Pakistani in this tiny town so quickly you won’t have time to blink, you go down with him. Think. Use your f…g head finally. Do you really want to revenge something? Think then. Before you get yourself killed or jailed you idiot and me as well. Time for you to listen to me finally in Europe, young lady after an entire f…g year of trouble!!

Scars are always beautiful,” Kim said. “They’re proof we lived.

Christ,” Kim said. “Are you trying to kill me?” “Might be.” “Carry on.” “Pleasure.

What do you want to talk about?" "I don't know. The football results? Politics. The pictures. Why the blazes you're called Kim when your name is Arthur." "My name, since you raise the topic, is Arthur Aloysius Kimberley de Brabazon Secretan. What would you do in my place?" "Leave the country," Will said wholeheartedly. "You poor bastard, you never stood a chance.

I,” Kim began at last, and had to try again. “I would like to be—not alone.” “Shoulders right here. Suitable for leaning on, crying on, or standing at for the purposes of a fight.

Kim had given Beaumont forty pounds to cover the costs of vanishing with his lover. Will very much hoped they would be safe, and also that he wouldn’t see them again.

I told you. See? I told you she just needed time.” Kim put his hand on top of Will’s, spreading his slim fingers over the hardened knuckles. “You can’t expect me to take your word for things when I could work myself into a frenzy about them instead. Where would that get us?

Kim jammed his hands in his pockets with the sort of jerky movement that suggested he wanted to punch a wall, or kick furniture. Will had always considered himself the furniture-kicker of the two of them.

You bloody did. You knew there was something up: you all but told him you knew what was going on. How?” “More fool him for believing a stranger’s meaningful statements,” Kim said. “It’s an old technique: tell someone you know what they did and watch the blush of their guilty conscience. You’ve heard that old story? Someone sends a telegram as a prank to White’s with no name, saying Fly, all is discovered, and six of the members leave the country?

Arthur, damn you!” “I am in bed, sir.” Kim sounded cold, and as perfectly collected as if he didn’t have a bare naked lover hiding right under him.

The girls hurried off in a whirl of goodbyes. Will turned to Kim as the door shut. “Bloody hell.” “Quite. We’re ahead, Will, for the first time in all this. I could sing. I won’t, to spare you distress, but I could.

All right, stop,” Kim said. “You needn’t break his arm.” Will couldn’t see why not. He put a bit more pressure on to make the point, waited for Chingford to stop shouting, leaned down, and said in his ear, “That was the last swing you ever take at him. Do it again and I’ll twist your head right off your neck.

They’d been so impossible and viciously thorned for months, and now they felt like the silk tie of Kim’s summer dressing gown, the knots slithering apart at a touch.

Fine,” Kim said. “Will? I think we’re at the last resort.” “Christ, me too,” Will said, and kicked Lord Chingford in the stomach.

Kim put his other hand over the two already joined. Will covered that with his own, feeling Kim’s skin chilly against his, and they sat together in silence, four hands clasped like a promise, as the new day dawned around them and the yacht sped on.

Jesus, Kim. I was on my own in a dusty bookshop and you turned up, and now it feels like I’ve got the whole world at my feet.

Kim breathed out, long and slow. “I have wondered where you were hiding the damage. First things first: forget what I said. I shouldn’t have asked and I’m sorry. You came through a meat grinder alive and won medals on the way. You ‘just got on’ in order to survive hell. If that’s what you have to keep doing, then in God’s name keep doing it, at least until you don’t need to any more.

Kim’s shoulders heaved. “I had an idea that if you were with me it wouldn’t matter. Instead it’s so much worse because I’m seeing it all through your eyes. Christ knows what you must think.” “I think your family are arseholes.” “Apart from that.” “No, that’s pretty much it. Absolute arseholes.

You made me fall in love,” Kim said. “You made me want to be a better man, even if I had to claw my way to that conclusion through thickets and thorns. You made me wake wanting you there and sleep in the knowledge that you were, and believe that I had you by my side, with that glorious, stubborn, unshakeable Will Darling obstinacy. And I am terrified, I am sick with fear, that I will lose you to the walking ancestral curse that is my family—not just the painted trappings and gilded vainglory, but the hollowed-out decaying heart of it. That’s my magnificent inheritance: a family rotten to the core, a blighted tree that will fall in the next storm.

Jesus,” Will said. “You don’t half talk bollocks. I know you, Kim Secretan. I know how you scoured England to find me when I was locked in a room, and how you lied up hill and down dale to get your hands on a paper and then handed it over anyway because it was the right thing to do. You ripped yourself apart for fear of hurting Phoebe, you gave up your ticket out of this mess for me, and you think you’re rotten? You stupid bastard, you’re true as steel.

He couldn’t even be bothered with subtlety. “Get your arse down here so I can kick it!” “Are you talking to a burglar, or to me?” Kim called down. “Either,” Will snapped, and stamped up the stairs. Kim was in his armchair again. He looked shocking.

I’m with you, Kim. I’m in this. Let’s get a war on.

He unfastens his watch. He takes out a Sunnto scuba diving watch from the drawer and swaps it with the watch he was wearing, which was a part of his wife's dowry. Plated with 14k gold, it's unfashionable now. Unfashionable—it feels foreign to judge aesthetics so fluidly. In his former world, judging beauty and ugliness according to individual standards was one of the most dangerous adventures one could undertake.

Would it have been easier for him to plump for a future like that? Probably. It was always easier to do the things you were meant to do. He’d doubtless have taken marriage and children as they came up if he’d been with a girl, just as he’d taken the bookshop: the next step along a path he was already on, so he might as well keep going. Much as he’d been doing with Kim. Carry on, let things happen, don’t sit down to think about what you truly want or what other people might need from you.

most people, including Whites, perceive racial relationships as binary: Black–White only (Pew Research Center, 2012). So, when matters of prejudice or discrimination are brought up for discussion, other groups of color, such as Asian Americans, Latina/o Americans, and Native Americans, often feel left out of the dialogue and rendered invisible (B. S. K. Kim, 2011; Takaki, 1998).

uANKARA (12 Temmuz 1921'de İkdam gazetesinde çıkmıştır-Y.K.K.) "Allah'a bin şükür nihayet Ankara'dayız. Yedi günlük ve altı gecelik yorucu bir yolculuktan sonra meşhur Çubuk Ovası'ndan geçilerek yalçın tepelerden müteşekkil dönüm dönüm bir dehlizden bu esrarlı şehre giriliyor. Benim yerimde bir Avrupalı gazete muhabiri kim bilir buraya erişebilmek için ne büyük fedakarlıklara katlanırdı. Dünyanın hangi şehri burası kadar merak ve tecessüs çekebilir? Bugünkü siyasi cihanın üç büyük ve mühim merkezinden birisi de bence Ankara'dır. Hatta son zamanlarda burası Moskova'dan ve Londra'dan daha ziyade ehemmiyet kesbetti. Avrupa ve Amerika gazetelerinden herhangi birini açınız görürsünüz ki, en çok ismi geçen diyar Anadolu ve onun merkezi olan Ankara'dır. Fakat zannetmeyiniz ki, Ankara'nın manzarası şehir itibariyle şu şöhret ve ehemmiyetle mütenasip bir heybet ve ihtişam arz ediyor. Türk öilliyetçilerinin Hükümet Merkezi bir yangın harabesinden başka bir şey değildir. Bütün dünyaya kafa tutan ve Garp aleminin mütecaviz ve müstevli dalgalarına karşı Şark'ın eşiğinde yegane geçilmez seddi teşkil eden Büyük Millet Meclisi bu harabenin bir kenarında tek katlı, mütevazi, küçük bir binaydı. On yıllık mütemaddi bir mücadeleden sonra hala sayısız düşmanlarla döğüşen Türk Milleti'nde azim, irade, kuvvet vekahramanlık, fazilet ve ümit namına ne varsa hep bu yalıtkan binanın içinde bulunuyor. Zarf ile mazruf arasında ne büyük tezat! Fakat, Türk'ün ruhundaki hayati ve ahlaki fazilete o emsalsiz ulviyet ve mahabeti veren asıl bu tezat değil midir? Eğer Ankara, Londra gibi muazzam ve tantanalı bir şehir ve Büyük Millet Meclisi, West Minister şehrinde bir saray olsaydı Anadolu'daki milliyet ve istiklal hareketinin manası bu kadar büyük görünür müydü? Türk askerine yirminci asır medeniyetinin icabı demir ve çelikten bin türlü cehennem aletlerine karşı koyabilmek kudretini veren şey onun büründüğü paçavralardır. Her hadiseyi zahiri sebepleriyle görmeye alışmışlar bu tecellinin sırrını anlıyamazlar. O gibi kimselere tavsiye ederim ki, Ankara'ya gelmesinler. Zira, buraya ne tarafından baksalar ayrı bir hayat inkisarına uğrarlar. Hatta, bunlar ne derece iyi niyet sahibi olurlarsa olsunlar kalblerndeki kuvvetin mutlaka sarsıldığını hissederler. ... Bir Frenk muharririne göre, dünyada bazı yerler vardır ki, orada bir ilahi nefha eser, Vahdaniler için, Kudüs, Mekke; Cihangirler için Roma, Kartaca; Sosyalistler için Leningrat, Moskova bu neviden yerler olsa gerekir. Mazlum ve mağdur millet için de ilahi nefhanın estiği yer Anadolu'nın en harap bir kasabası olan Ankara'dır. Bundan anlamak lazımgelir ki, herhangi bir şehre azamet ve mahabet veren şey o şehrin binaları, yolları, kubbe ve sütunları dğeildir; ancak orada vukubulan hadise, orada doğan fikir, orada esen nefhadır.

In North Korea a person has two lives, natural and political. But once you get sent to a prison camp your political life is over and you have only your natural life. You’re nothing, an animal, a savage. The guards have the right to kill you without penalty because you’re just an animal. If you disobey them or talk back, the guards hit you. It’s human nature then to fight back, but if you do they’ll shoot you. In one year’s time they would stage public executions fifteen or twenty times. People who tried to escape and didn’t get far were simply shot on the spot. But if you cost the guards a lot of time and trouble before they recaptured you, they would have a public execution.

In Hwang’s view, the Pyongyang leadership “used the feudalistic idea of filial piety to justify absolutism of the Great Leader. Filial piety in feudalism demands that children regard their parents as their benefactors and masters because they would not have existed without their parents. Taking care of your parents, the people who gave you life—in other words, being dutiful children—is the ultimate goal in life and the highest moral code. The state is a unity of families, and the head of all these families is none other than the king.” Hence the role that the leadership devised for Kim Il-sung: father of the people. In the same way that a person’s physical life came from his parents, his sociopolitical life came from the Great Leader. And the regime maintained that this sociopolitical life was far more precious than mere physical existence, which even animals possessed.

European who served for many years as a diplomat in Pyongyang, with postings there off and on from the 1970s into the 1990s, likened North Korea to a Catholic state in the Middle Ages. He estimated that around 90 percent really believed in the regime and its teachings—while the other 10 percent had no choice but to pretend that they believed. As opposed to other communist countries, where jokes about leaders such as the Soviet Union’s Brezhnev and East Germany’s Erich Honecker were a staple of conversation, there were no jokes about Kim Il-sung or Kim Jong-il, the diplomat said.

In the early 1970s the regime dropped a very clear official hint that a close relative would become Kim Il-sung’s successor. The 1970 edition of North Korea’s Dictionary of Political Terminologies had included this critical definition: Hereditary succession is a reactionary custom of exploitative societies whereby certain positions or riches may be legally inherited. Originally a product of slave societies, it was later adopted by feudal lords as a means to perpetuate dictatorial rule. The definition failed to appear in the 1972 edition of the dictionary.

Her eylem, bütünün dengesine dayanır. ... Tayfunlardan, büyük balinaların seslerinden kuru bir dalın düşmesine ve sivrisineğin uçmasına kadar her şey, bütünün dengesi içinde yapılmaktadır. Fakat bizim, dünya ve birbirimiz üzerinde gücümüz olduğuna göre, yaprağın, balinanın ve rüzgarın kendiliğinden yaptığı şeyi öğrenmemiz gerekir. Dengeyi korumayı öğrenmemiz gerekir. Aklımız olduğuna göre, cahilce hareket etmemeliyiz. Seçme şansımız olduğuna göre, sorumsuzca davranmamalıyız. Ben kim oluyorum da -bunu yapabilecek gücüm olmasına rağmen- insanların gelecekleriyle oynayarak onları ödüllendireyim veya cezalandırayım?

Drop that Kim-K ass to the grass.

Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan were very different presidents, but the transition between the two early in 1981 was marked by a historic bit of collaboration. Convinced that the firmly anti-Communist Reagan wouldn’t object, the South Korean dictatorship prepared to execute the country’s best-known liberal dissident, Kim Dae-jung. At Carter’s request, Reagan sent his top national security aide to Seoul with the message that he did object—firmly. Kim Dae-jung’s life was spared, and eighteen years later, I had the pleasure of meeting with him following his election as Korea’s president.

When is it okay to take super-magical objects for one’s own use? According to the rules of J.K. Rowling’s universe, when you want them not for personal gain, but to protect others.

I didn't do anything." "You stayed," Kim said. "You loved me. You watched me, which obliged me to behave as the man I'd like to be, rather than the less impressive one I often am. I don't like it when you're not there either, Will. I'm better with you." "Good thing I'm not going anywhere." He grabbed Kim's hand, not caring if anyone saw. "And you are exactly the man I want you to be. You always have been. The last knight.

It was absurd that the pulsebeat of desire was as strong as ever. It was absurd that Kim was looking at him now with something raw and painful in his eyes after buggering off for two bloody months. It was absurd that Will couldn't look away.

It wasn't over." Kim stated the words like an axiom. "Not for me. I'd have left it alone if you had the common sense to move on. Or if I had a scrap of decency, of course.

All right, tell me about it." "Which part?" "All of it. Start with a shifty character walking into your bookshop last November. Not this one," he added, indicating Kim. "The other one.
