Koh demonstrating how to make a toga of a bed-sheet and sending Blue and Gansey into a cluttered bedroom to change. It was Gansey politely turning his back as she undressed and then Blue turning hers – maybe turning hers. It was Blue’s shoulder and her collarbone and her legs and her throat and her laugh her laugh her laugh. He couldn’t stop looking at her, and here, it didn’t matter, because no one here cared that they were together. Here, he could play his fingers over her fingers as they stood close, she could lean her cheek on his bare shoulder, he could hook his ankle playfully in hers, she could catch herself with an arm around his waist. Here he was unbelievably greedy for that laugh.

To reduce a library to simple architecture, bricks and mortar is a mistake. Similarly, to suggest a library is defined by the books on the shelf is erroneous. Libraries are very special spaces, spaces where people come together in separate but joint pursuits of knowledge, of learning. Libraries are the heartbeats of communities.

She truly believed he was a decent husband to her for not sleeping around and not hitting her. Of the four sons she raised thus, Jiyoung’s father was the only one to carry out his duties as a son in her old age. Unwanted by her ungrateful children, Koh Boonsoon rationalized this sad outcome with an incoherent logic: “Still, I get to eat warm food my son made for me, and sleep under warm covers my son arranged for me because I had four sons. You have to have at least four sons.

You know my grandmothers,” I said, and pointed at my nose, a habit I had picked up when I lived in Japan. “I’m an accumulation of their lives. Whatever I say or do now can give relief to the past—and to them. I don’t believe they’re ever gone.

What I had meant to say in the kitchen was that I had loved fish since I was little—white bite, crispy skin. I had been waiting for it so long that the picture of soft flesh decomposed and left bones for a fossil. When I had argued in the kitchen, I was arguing about what was lost to me. Like how I could not read the letters because of the old water stains that had spread ink across the bottom of the page. The problem was not the damage but the cause. I recognized the tears my younger self had wept while touching the shapes on the paper.

Never forget,' says Sugar Daddy, 'we are a nation built on sugar. It is our history and it is the source of our prosperity, now and in the future.' This is true. Our entire nation sits on reclaimed land made from sugar. Ours is an island that rose out of the sea, built on a hard core of toffee.

What was seminoma, I asked Dr Ashish at one point. A rarest of rare kind of germ cell tumour, he explained, a manageable tumour. I asked him to explain further and this was his reply: Look, he said, your tumour may not be Sachin Tendulkar, but Virat Kohli it is. He can also be dangerous and after all you do need to get him out. I still laugh at this analogy. Later one day I remembered to tell Cheeku about this and he couldn’t believe how much respect the doctor had given him.

16 November 2013, my cricketing journey finally came to an end at the Wankhede Stadium. After somehow managing to complete my farewell speech, I was having a conversation with my family, trying to soak in every moment, when my team-mate Virat Kohli walked up to me. He said, ‘Paaji aapne kaha tha aap ko yaad dilane ke liye ki aapko pitch pe jana hain.’ (You asked me to remind you that you had to go to the pitch one final time.) To be honest, I hadn’t forgotten; I was just trying to put the moment off for a little longer. It was to be my final visit to

आश्रम में तुम्हें धर्म भी मिल सकता है और न्याय-बोध भी; किन्तु न्याय तो राजसभा में ही मिल पायेगा। न्याय के साथ दण्ड-विधान भी जुड़ा है। न्याय के लिए दुष्ट-दलन करना पड़ता है, धर्म के लिए आत्म-दमन! न्याय माँगा जाता है, धर्म साधा जाता है। न्याय में अधिकार है, धर्म में दायित्व। धर्म ऋषि देता है और न्याय राजा!

मोह मानसिक रोग है पुत्र! आत्मा का कलुष! यदि वह मात्र साधारण भ्रम है तो प्रबोधन से ही मिट जायेगा; किन्तु यदि वह अत्यन्त सघन है, तो मोह की सघनता के अनुपात में ही पीड़ा अथवा दण्ड पा कर ही वह छूटे तो छूटे; उनकी आकांक्षापूर्ति से तुम उनका मोह नष्ट नहीं कर सकते। यदि उनकी इच्छापूर्ति होती रहेगी, तो उनका लोभ बढ़ेगा, मोह सघन होगा,

If you have something better to be doing than poetry, which means almost anything else, that is the thing you should be doing right now,” he said to the class. Then, he turned to me. “There’s nowhere else you could be?” “No,” I said to him. “Nowhere.” “You made the right choice. Poetry is better than nothing,” he said to me. “But you have nothing to fall back on.” He was careful not to ask any more questions. He must have sensed I was embarrassed to speak in front of the others, who were confident and sharp. The professor took out the napkin and let it open in his hand. “I’m going to be honest with all of you.” The room looked at each other. The professor said to the class, “If you have something else, and you can do something else, then don’t let it go. Most of you will go back to doing that thing.

I'm jealous, and i am because you give yourself to people who don't know your worth, to people who don't appreciate you or your time. and it makes me wonder, you know? why? why in the world would such a beautiful person put themselves through so much pain? I don't get it. you have everything in front of you. everyone you need, people who adore you and love you. people who you've over looked. open your eyes, sweet pea, the people you spend most of your time thinking of, stressing over, don't want you. hell, they barely even notice when you're not around and still, you want to believe that it's the kind of love you deserve, the kind of attention you should chase because it's all you've ever known but it's wrong, all of it is. you don't deserve to believe that you need to have people that shatter you to feel alive. you don't deserve that kind of broken love. you deserve sad songs with happy endings. you deserve the deepest love, someone who'll look at you and echo your name forever.

Roth blinked, then nodded slowly. “I hate making them. I haven’t gotten where I am on the job by indulging my temper or apologizing for it. Neither, I imagine, have you. Women are still more closely scrutinized in the department and more strictly judged.” “That may be true, Captain. I don’t let it concern me.” “Then you’re a better woman than I, Dallas, or a great deal less ambitious. Because it burns the living hell out of me.” She inhaled, hissed the breath out through her teeth. “My coming at you as I have has been an emotional reaction, an indulgence again, that was both inappropriate and ill-advised. I’m going to tell you that I overreacted to Kohli’s death because I liked him, very much. I believe I overreacted to Mills because I disliked him. Very much.” She glanced back at the car. “He was a son of a bitch, a mean-spirited man who made no secret that, in his opinion, women should be having babies, cooking pies, and not wearing a badge. He disliked blacks, Jews, Asians . . . hell, he disliked everyone who wasn’t just what he was: an overfed white male. But he was my cop, and I want whoever opened him up that way.

मुनि बोले, “अपनी वर्तमान बुद्धि को सृष्टि का अन्तिम सत्य मत मानो। उसका विकास और संस्कार करने का प्रयत्न करो। जो सत्य दूसरों द्वारा अनुभूत है, उसके अनुभव का प्रयत्न करो। अपनी बुद्धि को इन्द्रियों का दास मत बनने दो। तब तुम देखोगे कि वस्तुतः तुम्हें उतनी वस्तुओं की आवश्यकता नहीं है, जितनी तुमने एकत्रित कर ली हैं। यह तुम्हारी आवश्यकता नहीं है, जो तुम्हें अर्जन और संचय के लिए प्रेरित करती है—यह तुम्हारा मोह है। यदि इस मोह को तुम पहचान पाओगे, तो उसे त्याग भी पाओगे। मोह से मुक्त होते ही तुम अनुभव करोगे कि जीवन मात्रा, धन के अर्जन के लिए नहीं है। आवश्यकता भर धन अर्जित करना सबके लिए अनिवार्य हो सकता है; किन्तु उसकी एक सीमा है। वहाँ पहुँच कर व्यक्ति यह निर्णय करता है कि अब वह अतिरिक्त धन अर्जित करने के लिए कोई भी कार्य नहीं करेगा।

I wrote about a place called Alki Beach. When I had first crossed the bridge into West Seattle, I could see the city skyline over Puget Sound. I stood on a strip of purple-gray beach sand. A pier house sold hairy mussels and one-hour bike rentals. Copper and metal signs whipped against the wind. Old couples toted bouquets under wooden pergolas. Those singing and strolling on the beach eventually curved around the bend toward the northern arc and out of sight. I wanted to live here by its waters, read its signs, admire the wind as one admires an old friend. The skyscrapers across the water might be a bracelet across my wrist—the Ferris wheel, city stadium, ships in the harbor. I had never known that joy was a practice the way poetry was a practice. Somebody asked if they could

Lederhosen Maker Opens First U.S. Store in Cincinnati By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Wiesnkoenig (pronounced VEE-sehn-koh-neg), the official supplier of lederhosen for the Munich Oktoberfest, opened its first store in the United States on Wednesday, in a brewery in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. Oliver Pfund, a Wiesnkoenig consultant, said, “We want to show people here in the U.S. you can wear the lederhosen with Chuck Taylors, you don’t have to wear the suspenders.” Founded in 2007, Wiesnkoenig has five stores in Germany and sells in department stores there and in Switzerland and Austria. Mr. Pfund said a brewery was a perfect location. He said the company hoped visitors to the brewery would “have an interest in the German culture, as well.

Keep yourself away from the people whom you want to see happy..

Holy, holy, holy”, seems written on every page. To talk of comparing the Bible with other “sacred books” so-called, such as the Koran, the Shasters, or the book of Mormon, is positively absurd. You might as well compare the sun with a rushlight, or Skiddaw with a mole hill, or St. Paul’s with an Irish hovel, or the Portland vase with a garden pot, or the Koh-i-noor diamond with a bit of glass.

When you know yourself, mirrors turn to glass.

In November 2003, the tobacco industry did agree to cease advertising in school library editions of four magazines with a large youth readership (Time, People, Sports Illustrated, and Newsweek) (“Tobacco Ads,” 2005)”, but the industry continued for a while to target youth with ads in adult magazines with a high youth readership (Alpert, Koh, & Connolly, 2008).

We used our gestures, but we were amazed, if not at speaking in English with other Koreans, then that we were doing these things in Japan. Could we feel so delighted if we had met any other way?

Everything in life is a problem. A good life is where you choose the right problems.

A chain reaction of rapid technological development across science and technology is unlocking brand new and novel solutions, and with them come unprecedented new opportunities to solve major human problems.

We are now at a watershed moment in human history where philanthropists need not follow the precedents set by those who have come before them but can instead synthesise brand new ways to create positive human impact.

Be a philanthropist on your own terms and do not be swayed by the actions of others. No matter what you do there will always be people who want to bring you down. But they only want to see you down because it makes them feel better about themselves. Don’t give them that satisfaction. Keep building yourself. Keep giving back. And keep helping others.

By definition the causes that are lesser known are typically in greater need of your help and are where you can have a greater and more immediate impact. Seek out learning experiences that enable you to better understand what these unmet needs are within the communities that are most in need of your help.

Often, we find that those who are most in need of help and support are also the hardest to reach because they live invisible lives that are disengaged from wider society. If you want your philanthropy to have the greatest impact, then you may find that you have to go to great lengths to connect with these people, who are most often those who need the most help.

There is a Korean belief that you are born the parent of the one you hurt most.

It was better to pay for your children than to stay with them. That was how it had always been.

Some say brothers cannot replace mothers and fathers. My mother called after he had left and said, “I’m not there, so your brother will take his anger out on you. Mommy knows all too well. Try to remember that he is mad at me, not you.
