Registrar Quotes

I mean, how sad is it that I needed a freaking Facebook profile to tell me my boyfriend was no longer my boyfriend? As if Facebook is the official record keeper of relationships and you have to confirm all breakups and hookups with this sacred online registrar before you can consider them certified and approved.

Love does not need true copies signed by a registrar of marriages.

Conozco a personas que “leen” muchísimo, libro tras libro y línea a línea, y a las que, sin embargo, no calificaría de “buenos lectores”. Es cierto que estas personas poseen una gran cantidad de “conocimientos”, pero su cerebro no sabe organizar y registrar el material adquirido. Les falta el arte de separar, en un libro, lo que es de valor para ellos y lo que es inútil, de conservar para siempre en la memoria lo que interesa de verdad y desechar lo que no les reporta ventaja alguna.

the real reason he’d keep running into monsters was because he was black, and when you’re black in America, there’s always a monster. Sometimes it’s Lovecraftian Elder Gods; sometimes it’s the police, or the Klan, or the Registrar of Voters.

O sofrimento é um longo momento. É impossível dividí-lo em estações. Só podemos registrar os seus humores e relatar suas idas e vindas. Para nós o tempo não avança, apenas anda em círculos, parecendo girar em torno de um núcleo de sofrimento.

Alle volte sentivo come l'urgenza di registrare quanto più possibile di lui: una specie di premonizione, forse, di ciò che stava per accadere, un ammonimento del fatto che, presto, mi sarebbero rimasti solo i ricordi e che quindi dovevo incamerare tutto di lui.

Good news: it's Christmas morning. Bad news: I have to work on labour ward. Worse news: my phone goes off. It's my registrar. I didn't set my alarm and now they're wondering where the hell I am. Even worse news: I'm asleep in my car. It takes me a while to establish where I am or why. Good news: it seems I fell asleep after my shift last night and I'm already at work, in the hospital car park.

The marquise heard her sentence without showing any sign of fear or weakness. When it was finished, she said to the registrar, “Will you, sir, be so kind as to read it again? I had not expected the tumbril, and I was so much struck by that that I lost the thread of what followed.

But only in California will you find the clear-quill, raw-gum, two-hundred-proof, undiluted democracy. The voting age starts when a citizen is tall enough to pull the lever without being steadied by her nurse, and registrars are reluctant to disenfranchise a citizen short of a sworn cremation certificate.

Selim's first view of Europe was a vast, thick carpet of shit.

Só não inicio pelo fim que justificaria o começo – como a morte parece dizer sobre a vida – porque preciso registrar os fatos antecedentes.

Didn't the Marines teach you anything?” demanded a frustrated registrar at Auburn. “Yes, Ma'am,” Sledge replied icily. “They taught me how to kill Japs.

The registrar pointed sternly to the door. ‘Get out,’ he said. ‘Get out of college and get out of town. You are a dangerous lunatic.

Registrars like to do this kind of thing now and again to show you they've 'still got it', like your uncle squeezing himself into his Speedos despite the gasps of terrified onlookers around the hotel pool.

El sufrimiento es un único momento largo. No lo podemos dividir en estaciones. Sólo podemos registrar sus modos y anotar su retorno. Para nosotros el tiempo en sí no avanza. Gira. Parece dar vueltas en torno a un único centro de dolor.

First of all, historically, markets simply did not emerge as some autonomous domain of freedom independent of, and opposed to, state authorities. Exactly the opposite is the case. Historically, markets are generally either a side effects of government operations, especially military operations, or were directly created by government policy. This has been true at least since the invention of coinage, which was first created and promulgated as a means of provisioning soldiers; for most of Eurasian history, ordinary people used informal credit arrangements and physical money, gold, silver, bronze, and the kind of impersonal markets they made possible remained mainly an adjunct to the mobilization of legions, sacking of cities, extraction of tribute, and disposing of loot. Modern central banking systems were likewise first created to finance wars. So there's one initial problem with the conventional history. There's another even more dramatic one. While the idea that the market is somehow opposed to and independent of government has been used at least since the nineteenth century to justify laissez faire economic policies designed to lessen the role of government, they never actually have that effect. English liberalism, for instance, did not lead to a reduction of state bureaucracy, but the exact opposite: an endlessly ballooning array of legal clerks, registrars, inspectors, notaries, and police officials who made the liberal dream of a world of free contract between autonomous individuals possible. It turned out that maintaining a free market economy required a thousand times more paperwork than a Louis XIV-style absolutist monarchy. (p. 8-9)

Ogni tentativo di controllare i prezzi o le quantità di particolari beni priva la concorrenza del suo potere di realizzare un efficace coordinamento degli sforzi individuali, perché i cambiamenti di prezzo cessano di registrare tutti i cambiamenti rilevanti nelle circostanze e non forniscono più una guida affidabile alle azioni degli individui.

You think it's impossible to be a passive fighter? Well, sometimes fighting just means existing. Existing, not going away, and quietly biding your time.

The odds always appeared so stacked against us and the outcomes so poor that over time I became deeply pessimistic about crash calls. I remember a registrar, seeing my distress at the end of yet another failed resuscitation, putting a comforting arm around me. “It’s not really resuscitation, you know,” he said. “It’s just a funny dance we do around the dying.

Cuando vino un miliciano a registrar la casa, yo le enseñé todos mis santos, tranquilamente. «¿Pero usted cree en esas paparruchas de Dios?», me dijo. «Claro que sí; ¿usted no?», le contesté. «No, ni permito que lo crea nadie.» «Entonces yo soy más republicana que usted, porque a mí me tiene sin cuidado lo que los demás piensen; creo en la libertad de ideas.» Entonces se rascó la cabeza y me dio la razón".

sir.” “Very good. You can come and assist me in surgery if you like, Mr.…” “Stone, sir. Thomas Stone.” During the surgery Braithwaite found Thomas knew how to stay out of the way. When Braithwaite asked him to cut a ligature, Stone slid his scissors down to the knot and then turned the scissors at a forty-five-degree angle and cut, so there was no danger to the knot. Indeed, Stone so clearly understood his role that when the senior registrar showed up to assist, Braithwaite waved him off. Braithwaite pointed to a vein coursing over the pylorus. He asked Thomas what it was. “The pyloric vein of Mayo, sir …,” Thomas said, and appeared about to add something. Braithwaite waited, but Thomas was done. “Yes, that’s what it’s called, though I think that vein was there long before Mayo spotted it, don’t you think? Why do you think he took the trouble

I have seen the fruits of adult education. It can be done. And anyone who has worked in adult education knows that he must appeal for self-help. There are no monitors to keep adults at the task. There are no examinations and grades, none of the machinery of external discipline. The person who learns something out of school is self-disciplined. He works for merit in his own eyes, not credit from the registrar. (1940 ed. page 104)

Quando a casa nostra scoprì il funzionamento del magnetofono, capì che si potevano riascoltare parole e brani di musica, una volta me ne parlò, si domandò che cosa succederebbe se si potesse registrare la vita di un uomo, fissarla su un nastro per poter tornare indietro, fermarla, ripeterla a piacimento. Lei avrebbe accettato la sua, disse, così com'era e come sarebbe stata fino al giorno della morte, ma alla condizione di poter ripetere ciò che voleva.

Who happen to be in the Lord Chancellor's court this murky afternoon besides the Lord Chancellor, the counsel in the cause, two or three counsel who are never in any cause, and the well of solicitors before mentioned? There is the registrar below the judge, in wig and gown; and there are two or three maces, or petty-bags, or privy purses, or whatever they may be, in legal court suits. These are all yawning, for no crumb of amusement ever falls from Jarndyce and Jarndyce (the cause in hand), which was squeezed dry years upon years ago. The short-hand writers, the reporters of the court, and the reporters of the newspapers invariably decamp with the rest of the regulars when Jarndyce and Jarndyce comes on. Their places are a blank. Standing on a seat at the side of the hall, the better to peer into the curtained sanctuary, is a little mad old woman in a squeezed bonnet who is always in court, from its sitting to its rising, and always expecting some incomprehensible judgment to be given in her favour. Some say she really is, or was, a party to a suit, but no one knows for certain because no one cares. She carries some small litter in a reticule which she calls her documents,

«Ti amo… cazzo, sì, ti amo.» I nostri gesti si fermano. Ci accontentiamo di squadrarci, il respiro di entrambi corre veloce come un vento di tempesta. Le parole hanno questo impatto che nemmeno il corpo può dare; lo vedo ora nei suoi occhi, nel sorriso che gli nasce sulle labbra, fino a che punto l’ho toccato e lo sento nel più profondo del mio essere il sollievo di avergli detto quello che porto nel cuore, mi sembra, da fin troppo tempo. Mack si raddrizza, il suo viso arriva all'altezza del mio, le sue labbra gonfie dei nostri baci e i capelli in un disordine eccitante. Non dice niente e la paura sostituisce il sollievo. E se fosse troppo per lui? Se non è reciproco, se… oddio non lo so, ma se non era questo quello che voleva sentire, cosa ne sarà di noi? «Anche io ti amo, Travis.» Impiego alcuni secondi a registrare le sue parole, non me lo ha mai detto nessuno prima. Ho l'impressione che l'organo che batte nel mio petto, abbia appena preso una taglia in più, che si sia gonfiato per questo sentimento strano che qualcuno mi ami. Chiudo gli occhi e decido di smettere di pensare, di smettere di analizzare quello che provo e di concentrarmi su quello che il mio corpo vuole e capisco cos’è: il corpo di Mack

There were lots of ways to lose your farm. In the beginning it was mostly violent. Now, though, the process had become highly formal, and in many ways more chilling. Ordinary citizens who supported the ruling party and claimed they wanted to farm simply applied to the Registrar of Deeds for a farm and, if approved, got what was called an offer letter. This applicant, known as an A2 farmer, simply drove onto the farm he had been allocated, handed his letter to the farmer if he was still on the land, and told him he was the new owner. “It’s like winning the lottery, except you don’t even have to buy a ticket,” Dad told me.

You will ask how I felt about spending so much time with people who supported the Hitler regime. I will tell you that, since I had absolutely no choice in the matter, I no longer dared to think about it. To be in Germany at that time, pretending to be an Aryan, meant that you automatically socialized with Nazis. To me, they were all Nazis, whether they belonged to the party or not. For me to have made distinctions at that time—to say Hilde was a “good” Nazi and the registrar was a “bad” Nazi—would have been silly and dangerous, because the good ones could turn you in as easily and capriciously as the bad ones could save your life.

Hoy imagina que tienes un jefe invisible cuya función es registrar tus pensamientos y sentimientos sobre tu trabajo. Imagina que tu jefe te va a seguir a dondequiera que vayas hoy, con un bolígrafo en la mano y una libreta de notas. Cada vez que veas algo en tu trabajo por lo que puedas estar agradecido, tu jefe lo anotará. Tu misión es descubrir tantas cosas como te sea posible para estar agradecido, a fin de que al final del día tu jefe tenga una larga lista de toda tu gratitud. Cuanto más larga sea la lista, más magia podrá generar tu jefe invisible para tu dinero, éxito laboral, oportunidades, satisfacción y realización personal. Piensa

The Motor-Voter bill eliminated many controls on voter fraud, making it easy to register but difficult to determine the validity of new registrations. Under the new law, states were required to provide opportunities for voter registration to any person who showed up at a government office to renew a driver’s license or apply for welfare or unemployment benefits. “Examiners were under orders not to ask anyone for identification or proof of citizenship,” notes Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund in his book, Stealing Elections. “States also had to permit mail-in voter registrations, which allowed anyone to register without any personal contact with a registrar or election

Some say she really is, or was, a party to a suit, but no one knows for certain because no one cares. She carries some small litter in a reticule which she calls her documents, principally consisting of paper matches and dry lavender. A sallow prisoner has come up, in custody, for the half-dozenth time to make a personal application "to purge himself of his contempt," which, being a solitary surviving executor who has fallen into a state of conglomeration about accounts of which it is not pretended that he had ever any knowledge, he is not at all likely ever to do. In the meantime his prospects in life are ended. Another

Io non credo che l’uomo sia un’opera d’arte, e vuole sapere perché? Perché l’arte è un prodotto dell’uomo, il segno tangibile della sua grandezza, certo, ma anche della sua fragilità. Arte è solitudine, il tentativo di fermare qualcosa di vero e la speranza che qualcuno si fermi a guardarlo. Arte è prendere il proprio dolore, la propria disperazione, e provare a convertirli in bellezza, trovare al male un senso e una posizione; una giustificazione. Arte è comprendere di essere di passaggio, gratuiti, superflui, e non saperlo o volerlo accettare. Arte è non farsi bastare questo mondo ed essere così arroganti da voler creare altra esistenza, e respirare quello e vivere di quello. Arte è una parola: la dicono i critici con gli occhi dietro gli occhiali e un corpo plastinato davanti e la fanno diventare realtà. Potrebbero dirlo adesso, registrare queste mie frasi e dire accorrete, questa è arte, venite a sentire, ma il mio discorso resterebbe solo un mucchio di pensieri storti in cerca di un orecchio capace di ascoltare.

I told her that what the family wanted would be entirely determined by what she said to them. If she said ‘we can operate and remove the damaged brain and he may just survive’ they were bound to say that we should operate. If, instead, she said ‘If we operate there is no realistic chance of his getting back to an independent life. He will be left profoundly disabled. Would he want to survive like that?’ the family would probably give an entirely different answer. What she was really asking them with the first question was ‘Do you love him enough to look after him when he is disabled?’ and by saying this she was not giving them any choice. In cases like this we often end up operating because it’s easier than being honest and it means that we can avoid a painful conversation. You might think the operation has been a success because the patient leaves the hospital alive but if you saw them years later – as I often do – you would realize that the result of the operation was a human disaster. The room was silent for a while. ‘The decision has been made to operate,’ the registrar said stiffly.

He sat beside his brother and glanced at the notes. “The broken pew in the chapel has been repaired—you can cross that off the list. The keg of caviar arrived yesterday. It’s in the icehouse. I don’t know whether the extra camp chairs are here yet. I’ll ask Sims.” He paused to drink half his coffee in one swallow. “Where’s Kathleen? Still abed?” “Are you joking? She’s been awake for hours. At the moment she’s with the housekeeper, showing deliverymen where to set the flower arrangements.” A fond smile crossed Devon’s lips as he rolled the pencil against the tabletop with the flat of his hand. “You know my wife—every detail has to be perfect.” “It’s like staging a production at St. James’s Music Hall. Without, sadly, the chorus girls in pink tights.” West drained the rest of his coffee. “My God, will this day never end?” “It’s only six o’clock in the morning,” Devon pointed out. They both sighed. “I’ve never thanked you properly for marrying Kathleen at the registrar’s office,” West commented. “I want you to know how much I enjoyed it.” “You weren’t there.” “That’s why I enjoyed it.” Devon’s lips twitched. “I was glad not to have to wait,” he said. “But had there been more time, I wouldn’t have minded going through a more elaborate ceremony for Kathleen’s sake.” “Please. Shovel that manure in someone else’s direction.

El coche se había ido, pero había dejado tras él una tenue onda que fluía por las tiendas de guantes, las sombrererías y sastrerías a ambos lados de Bond Street. Durante treinta segundos todas las cabezas apuntaron en la misma dirección - la ventanilla. Mientras escogían un par de guantes - ¿hasta el codo o más arriba, color limón o gris pálido? - las señoras se interrumpieron; al terminar la frase algo había ocurrido. En algunos casos algo tan nimio que su vibración no la podía registrar ningún instrumento matemático, por muy capaz que éste fuera de transmitir sacudidas y terremotos hasta China; y eso que era impresionantemente rotundo y a la vez emotivo por cuanto que su efecto se dejaba sentir en todo el mundo; porque en todas las sombrererías y sastrerías los clientes, extraños entre sí, se miraron y pensaron en los muertos; en la bandera; en el Imperio. En la taberna de una callejuela un alguien de las colonias profirió insultos contra la Casa de Windsor, lo cual derivó en improperios, jarras de cerveza rotas y una algarabía general que, singularmente, resonó como un eco al otro lado de la calle, hasta llegar a los oídos de las chicas que estaban comprando lencería blanca, de lazos de seda pura, para sus bodas. Porque la agitación superficial que el coche provocaba a su paso, tocaba y rasgaba algo muy profundo. Deslizándose por Piccadilly el coche dobló por St. James's Street. Unos hombres altos, de físico robusto, hombres trajeados, con sus chaqués y levitas, sus pañuelos blancos y pelo peinado hacia atrás, que por razones difíciles de dilucidar, estaban de pie en el mirador de White, las manos tras la cola del chaqué, vigilando, percibieron instintivamente que la grandeza pasaba ante ellos, y la pálida luz de la presencia inmortal descendió sobre ellos, como había descendido sobre Clarissa Dalloway. Inmediatamente se irguieron más si cabe, retiraron sus manos de la espalda, y parecía que estuviesen en disposición de acatar las órdenes de su Soberano, hasta la misma boca del cañón, si fuera necesario, igual que sus antepasados lo hicieran en otros tiempos. Parecía que los bustos blancos y las mesitas, en segundo plano, con algunas botellas de soda encima y cubiertas de ejemplares del 'Tatler', asentían; parecía que señalaban la abundancia del trigo y las casas de campo de Inglaterra; y que devolvían el tenue murmullo de las ruedas de coche, como los muros de una galería humilde devuelven el eco de un susurro convertido en voz sonora debido a la fuerza de toda una catedral.

Com’è il morale? In generale”. “Il morale è... eccellente,” disse Nigel, deglutendo con forza. “È un periodo interessantissimo, naturalmente. La Gran Bretagna è a un punto di svolta e noi siamo proprio nell’epicentro... nell’epicentro del turbine che sta... trasfigurando la realtà politica, indirizzandola verso uno sviluppo... decisamente sismico in cui... le placche tettoniche della nostra storia nazionale si stanno spostando, con il risultato di provocare una trasformazione... e io, in qualità di testimone...” All’improvviso si interruppe. Il suo sguardo si perse nel vuoto. Le spalle si afflosciarono. Per un minuto o due rimase a fissare la superficie schiumosa del suo caffè. Alla fine tornò ad alzare gli occhi e le sue successive parole furono le più sincere che Douglas avesse mai sentito uscire dalle sue labbra. “Siamo fottuti.” “Prego?” “Siamo completamente e irrimediabilmente fottuti. È un caos. Corriamo di qua e di là come polli decapitati. Nessuno ha la più pallida idea di quello che sta facendo. Siamo... siamo fottuti.” Rapidamente Doug tirò fuori il cellulare e cominciò a registrare. “È ufficiale?” chiese. “Che importa? Siamo fottuti, perciò che senso ha sapere se è ufficiale?” “Che tipo di caos? Chi corre di qua e di là come un pollo decapitato?” “Tutti. Nessuno escluso. Chi si aspettava un esito simile? Nessuno era pronto. Nessuno sa cosa sia la Brexit. Nessuno sa come attuarla. Un anno e mezzo fa tutti la chiamavano Brixit. Nessuno sa cosa voglia dire Brexit.” “Pensavo che Brexit significasse Brexit.” “Divertente. E come dovrebbe essere questa Brexit?” “Una Brexit rossa, bianca e blu, come dice la May,” citò Doug e di nuovo si dispiacque per Nigel, così infelice. “Ma di sicuro ci saranno frotte di consiglieri... esperti?...” “Esperti?” disse Nigel con amarezza. “Non crediamo più negli esperti. La catena di comando è semplicissima. Ciascuno riceve le sue direttive da Theresa, e Theresa le riceve dal ‘Daily Mail’. E anche da un paio di think tank così fanatici del libero scambio che non li lasceresti...” “Questi think tank...” disse Doug incuriosito. “Non mi dirai che una di loro è l’Imperium Foundation, vero?” “Mio Dio,” disse Nigel, la testa tra le mani. “Sono dappertutto... dappertutto. Sempre pronti a indire riunioni. A bombardarci di tabelle. Dimenticati della volontà del popolo. Sono questi i pazzi che hanno preso il potere.” “Cameron avrebbe saputo fronteggiarli meglio, secondo te?” “Cameron?” disse Nigel con una smorfia. “Un fesso di prima categoria! Un moccioso! Un coglione fatto e finito. Se ne sta nel suo capanno del cazzo a scrivere le sue memorie. Guarda che disastro si è lasciato alle spalle. Tutti pronti a pugnalarsi alle spalle. Gli stranieri vengono insultati per la strada. Aggrediti sull’autobus. Invitati a tornarsene da dove sono venuti. Se uno non riga dritto, ecco che subito diventa un traditore e un nemico del popolo. Cameron ha demolito questo paese, Doug. L’ha demolito ed è scappato.

but I can’t help noticing the cowardice of our—our leaders. I love the Bip, but he’d do anything to avoid a row. Canon Wye is good at getting up a scrap, but he funks the issue. With the Registrar and the Diocesan Board generally one lives in a sort of Trollope atmosphere of stuffy offices, crammed with seals and tapes, red-faced, casual, prejudiced lawyers catching at eighteenth-century regulations to prove some unimportant point and afraid, yes, afraid to take action against a man like Ulder, because of the scandal.

Un estudio que involucró a más de 1 600 personas, descubrió que aquellos que mantuvieron un diario de alimentación perdieron hasta el doble de peso que las personas que no llevaron un registro.5 El mero acto de registrar una conducta puede motivar el deseo de cambiar.

el historial de hábitos 1) crea una señal visual que te recuerda que debes actuar, 2) es inherentemente motivante porque te ayuda a ver el progreso que has estado haciendo y que no quieres dejar de hacer y 3) produce un sentimiento de satisfacción registrar otro avance exitoso de tu hábito.

He turned away and began picking up the sheaf of papers he’d dumped on the desk earlier, shuffling them into some sort of order, and Helena watched him, her heart twisting suddenly. For all his bravado, he was definitely hurting. He’d fallen hard for Jasmine, a bright, ambitious medical registrar he’d met while interviewing a stabbing victim at Southmead Hospital, and who he’d been dating for the past year or so; he’d even, when Helena had joined him and some of the other detectives for a rare night in the pub a few months back, confided in her after several vodkas that he was considering proposing, once Jasmine had completed her training
