Snooker Quotes

أنا لست "جديراً بالحب" ولا "لطيفاً" ولا "ودودا"، على العكس تماما، أنا مخلوق مغرور، ومتعجرف، ومُدّعي معرفة، وغير مثير للإعجاب.

الواحد يدرك مدى حبه فقط عندما يظن أنه فقد الشخص الذي يحبه، وللتعاسة، في اغلب الأحيان يبدأ الواحد في أن يحب فقط عندما يشعر بأن حبه من طرف واحد

At twenty life was like wrestling an octopus. Every moment mattered. At thirty it was a walk in the country. Most of the time your mind was somewhere else. By the time you got to seventy, it was probably like watching snooker on the telly.

Artists try to depict people; and people depict the artist's' conception of people.

My favourite pub game is, of course, snooker. Any game whose rules basically amount to finding a table covered in mess and slowly and methodically putting it all away out of sight is one with which I can empathise emphatically.

أمر غريب. رجل يتعرف على امرأة. ولزمن طويل يكونان شخصاً واحداً. مزجا أفكارهما، جسديهما، آمالهما، رائحتيهما، حياتيهما. إنهما واحد. ثم إنهما بعد فترة غريبان. وليسا واحداً بعد الآن. كأن ذلك لم يحدث أبداً، وكما لو أن الواحد ينظر في المرآة فيرى شخصاً غريباً بدلاً من انعكاس صورته.

لا يمكن لأي قدر من الكلام أو الشرح تقريب عاشقين أو صديقين أكثر مما يقربهما الصمت.

صحيح أن بعض الناس يدعون أن الحب يولد الحب، ولكن الأمر ليس كذلك. بذرة الحب هي اللامبالاة.

Chutes and Ladders was perhaps the most sadistic board game ever invented. Adults loathed the game; children loved it. The universe thus dictated that an adult invariably got snookered into playing the game with a child.

The Scooby gang doesn’t travel because they are looking for crimes to solve. They travel because they’re one step ahead of the deprogrammers. Somehow, Fred’s got them all snookered. It probably has something to do with the Scooby Snacks.

النساء يخلطن أحياناً بين الفضول والحب.

أنت مثل رجل يشتري راديو من غير مفاتيح لانه يحب الهدوء .

أن نحب وأن نمتلك الشخص الذي نحب هو السبب الذي من أجله ولدنا

مازال بإمكاني أن أرى السكينة من حولي ، ولكني فقدت القدرة على الإحساس بها

كيف أستطيع أن أشرح لكِ أن مصر بالنسبة لي هي شىء في اللاوعي،وليس سياسيًا على وجه الخصوص.

[I] threw open the door to find Rob sit­ting on the low stool in front of my book­case, sur­round­ed by card­board box­es. He was seal­ing the last one up with tape and string. There were eight box­es - eight box­es of my books bound up and ready for the base­ment! "He looked up and said, 'Hel­lo, dar­ling. Don't mind the mess, the care­tak­er said he'd help me car­ry these down to the base­ment.' He nod­ded to­wards my book­shelves and said, 'Don't they look won­der­ful?' "Well, there were no words! I was too ap­palled to speak. Sid­ney, ev­ery sin­gle shelf - where my books had stood - was filled with ath­let­ic tro­phies: sil­ver cups, gold cups, blue rosettes, red rib­bons. There were awards for ev­ery game that could pos­si­bly be played with a wood­en ob­ject: crick­et bats, squash rac­quets, ten­nis rac­quets, oars, golf clubs, ping-​pong bats, bows and ar­rows, snook­er cues, lacrosse sticks, hock­ey sticks and po­lo mal­lets. There were stat­ues for ev­ery­thing a man could jump over, ei­ther by him­self or on a horse. Next came the framed cer­tificates - for shoot­ing the most birds on such and such a date, for First Place in run­ning races, for Last Man Stand­ing in some filthy tug of war against Scot­land. "All I could do was scream, 'How dare you! What have you DONE?! Put my books back!' "Well, that's how it start­ed. Even­tu­al­ly, I said some­thing to the ef­fect that I could nev­er mar­ry a man whose idea of bliss was to strike out at lit­tle balls and lit­tle birds. Rob coun­tered with re­marks about damned blue­stock­ings and shrews. And it all de­gen­er­at­ed from there - the on­ly thought we prob­ably had in com­mon was, What the hell have we talked about for the last four months? What, in­deed? He huffed and puffed and snort­ed and left. And I un­packed my books.

غريب كيف يهمس الناس غريزياً عندما يكونون في الظلام ؟

نوع من الثقة الزائدة في النفس أمقت أن أراه في الآخرين لكن أعيه في نفسي.

على الرغم من "ألا تعرف من أنا؟ أنا باشا أو ابن باشا" لم تكن قد اختفت تماماً، فإنه قد أصبح دارجاً أيضاً الآن قول: "ألا تعرف من أنا؟ أنا عقيد أو لواء أو ابن هذا أو ذاك". يريدونني أن التحق بالجيش.

إن حاسة الشم كمستودع لذكريات الماضي أقوى بكثير من حاسة السمع أو البصر

لم أكن أريد لأي شيء مأساوي أن يمسني، أن يوجعني. لا أريد حتى أن أرى شيئا مأساويا

Cairo and Alexandria were cosmopolitan not so much because they contained foreigners, but because the Egyptian born in them is himself a stranger to his land.

من حين لآخر يقرأ واحد من هذه الملايين كتاباً، أو يبدأ في التفكير، أو يهزه شيء ما فيرى عندها مأساة في كل مكان. أينما ينظر، يجد مأساة. يجد عدم انتباه الناس للمأساة من حولهم مأساوياً... ويلتحق بحزب أو آخر، أو يمشي خلف شعارات حتى تصبح حياته نفسها - عندما تُرى من الخارج - مأساوية بعض الشيء. أكره المأساة.

إنه لشيء غريب أن يعرف رجل امرأة حتى ليصبحوا شخصاً واحداً فيتوحد جسداهما وحياتاهما وأفكارهما وآمالهما، ثم بعد فترة يصبحا غريبين. لا يعودان شخصاً واحداً. تماماً كمن ينظر إلي نفسه في المرآة، فتطالعه صورة شخص غريب عنه.

كان الانتماء للإخوان شيئا مخيفا. فربما يأمرونك بإطلاق الرصاص على أي شئ شخص وفي أي وقت بدم بارد، ليكافئوك بوعود في الدنيا والآخرة. وعليكأيضا أن تكون ناشطا حتى عندما تكون الجامعة مغلقة.(كقطبي لم يكن باستطاعتي الإنضمام للإخوان على أي حال).كان الشيوعيون هم المحترمين على الرغم من سريتهم، مثابرين،أذكياء،هادئين. لا مكافآت، فقط السجن والبؤس للعائلة.

بدأت أصب بعض انفعالاتي في السياسة وعرفت فيما بعد أن الرجل ذا الحماس السياسي عادة ما يكون جذابا للنساء

Perhaps our culture is nothing but jokes.

كلمة "مصر" تستحضر فيك - على ما أفترض - مشهداً لفلاح مجهد عائد في الشفق إلى بيته بفأس على كتفه وابنه خلفه يجر بقرة. في الحقيقة مصر مكان يلعب فيه أناس في منتصف العمر الكروكيه.

قامت الثورة وأُلغيت جميع الألقاب، ولكن كل هؤلاء الذين كانوا باشاوات مازالوا يلقبون بالباشاوات.

Unlike an envied and admirable few, I separate my friends and almost never dare mingle one group with another. When I do, it is usually a social disaster, like mixing drinks. I love good beer and I love good wine, but you cannot drink both on the same evening without suffering. I love the friends with whom I play or once daily played snooker and tooted quantities of high-grade pulverized Andean flake; I love the friends with whom I dine at preposterously expensive restaurants; I love the friends with whom I’m film-making or mincing on the stage. I love and value them all equally and don’t think of them as stratified or in tiers, one group in some way higher or more important than the rest, but the thought of introducing them to each other makes me shiver and shudder with cringing embarrassment.

The only problem was that I was incredibly houseproud, so they’d end up having sex on the snooker table with me shouting, ‘Make sure you don’t come on the baize!’ which tended to puncture the atmosphere a bit.

What do people who don’t drink do on such occasions? Face the facts perhaps. But facing a fact is one thing, and overcoming it is another. Cognac was going to overcome the facts: overcome Edna’s willed hardness and overcome my lack of suitable words and actions.

أحياناً تستثار انفعالاتك على نحو غير متوقع فتصبح فجأة غاضباً أو عاطفياً أو حزيناً

Farewell, Timothy Riley’s Bar," Lane said softly. "Home of the nickel beer. Snooker emporium. Repository of Bluebird records, three for a dime. We honor you and your passing. Farewell. Farewell, Timothy Riley—and terraplanes and rumbleseats and saddle shoes and Helen Forrest and the Triple-C camps and Andy Hardy and Lum ‘n’ Abner and the world-champion New York Yankees! Rest in peace, you age of innocence—you beautiful, serene, carefree, pre-Pearl Harbor, long summer night. We’ll never see your likes again.

I’ve tried a number of religions and gurus in my time, including Buddhism, but ultimately they didn’t do as much for my peace of mind as snooker.

I'm the smartest thing for a hundred light years radius, and by a factor of about a million ...... but even I can't predict where a snooker ball's going to end up after more than six collisions.

Far from being empty, space is more like a snooker table. Stars explode or collide and that’s the white ball being smacked with the cue stick. Individual atoms go flying off at close to the speed of light. Regardless of how small they are, anything traveling that fast is dangerous. Even though space is a vacuum, given enough time, atoms will eventually collide with each other and—bang—the cosmic game of snooker just got interesting. Protons, neutrons and electrons scatter again, speeding along until they hit something else. If that something else happens to be alive, that’s bad—destroying cell walls and damaging DNA.

Es extraño. Un hombre llega a conocer a una mujer. Durante un tiempo son un solo ser. Han fundido sus pensamientos, sus esperanzas, sus vidas. Son un solo ser. Y luego, pasado un tiempo, son extraños. Ya no son un solo ser. Como si nunca hubiera ocurrido, como mirarse al espejo y ver a un extraño en lugar de a uno mismo.

It is funny how people - millions and millions of people - go about watching the telly and singing and humming in spite of the fact that they lost brother or father or lover in a war; and what is stranger still, they contemplate with equanimity seeing their other brothers or lovers off to yet another war. They don't see the tragedy of it all. Now and then one of the millions reads a book, or starts thinking, or something shakes him, and then he sees tragedy all over the place. Wherever he looks, he finds tragedy. He finds it tragic that other people don't see this tragedy around them and then he becomes like Font or Edna, or joins some party or other, or marches behind banners until his own life, seen detachedly, becomes a little tragic.

أقود السيارة مرة في الأسبوع إلى تلك الأماكن لأزور ضباط شرطة يفترض أنهم اصدقاء لي. يسلمونني مظروفاً يحتوي على صور وتقارير كتبها نزلاء السجن، وفي المقابل أدفع لهم مبلغاً معيناً من المال. لدي شعور فظيع بأن الصور لن تكون بتلك البشاعة لو لم نكن ندفع لهم مالاً.

The very Internet companies that snookered us all with the promise of democratizing communications made it impermissible for Americans to criticize their government or question the safety of pharmaceutical products; these companies propped up all official pronouncements while scrubbing all dissent. The same Tech/Data and Telecom robber barons, gorging themselves on the corpses of our obliterated middle class, rapidly transformed America’s once-proud democracy into a censorship and surveillance police state from which they profit at every turn.

دائماً ما كان للحر ذلك الأثر الغريب في إحداث ضجة في أذني ، طنين سرمدي خافت أشعر به بين حين وآخر ، مثل سماع تكة الساعة فجأة

أدركت أن الشيء الوحيد الذي يمكنني عمله هو أن أحاول نسيانه

I kissed him the way he'd kissed me the night before, not as a prelude to sex, but as a wordless whisper aimed at your lover's heart. Kissing because you simply can't think of another way to show your love for the man you adore. "See, if you'd done that to me back in February, I would have been completely snookered," he said, his smile softening as he pulled away.

But every Englishman is born with a certain power. When he wants a thing, he never tells himself he wants it. He waits until there comes to his mind, no one knows how, a burning conviction that it is his moral and religious duty to conquer those who possess the thing he wants … and then he grabs it. He is never at a loss for an effective moral attitude to take. When he wants a new market for his adulterated goods, he sends a missionary to teach the natives the gospel of peace. The natives kill the missionary, the Englishman flies to arms in defence of Christianity, fights for it, conquers for it, and takes the market as a reward from heaven.

Es estupendo conducir con un poco de whisky en el cuerpo. Cuando llevo sin fumar una hora o así, pero he estado bebiendo y luego fumo, el cigarrillo me deprime de forma repentina. (Me ocurre lo mismo con las resacas. Por más que haya bebido la noche anterior, me levanto con el mejor ánimo, pero en cuanto fumo me deprimo del todo.) Detuve el coche y encendí un cigarrillo.

Dr. Fauci’s business closures pulverized America’s middle class and engineered the largest upward transfer of wealth in human history. In 2020, workers lost $3.7 trillion while billionaires gained $3.9 trillion.46 Some 493 individuals became new billionaires,47 and an additional 8 million Americans dropped below the poverty line.48 The biggest winners were the robber barons—the very companies that were cheerleading Dr. Fauci’s lockdown and censoring his critics: Big Technology, Big Data, Big Telecom, Big Finance, Big Media behemoths (Michael Bloomberg, Rupert Murdoch, Viacom, and Disney), and Silicon Valley Internet titans like Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Eric Schmidt, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, Larry Ellison, and Jack Dorsey.

Me senté en el sofá a la manera árabe, y luego ella vino a sentarse de la misma manera delante de mí. Le solté el pelo, como había hecho tantas otras veces, y ella me dio un peine y yo empecé a peinarle los cabellos color caoba despacio de la frente a los hombros; luego le hice una trenza y até los extremos con un cordel que me dio, y le desabroché la ropa y le quité la chaqueta, y luego la blusa y todo lo demás, y se sentó ante mí, desnuda y muy hermosa con la cabeza ladeada. Le dije "te amo" muchas veces, y la besé, y le susurré amor y ternura y recuerdos al oído. Al final se volvió y me acercó su boca y fuimos un solo ser. Dos cuerpos y dos cerebros y dos vidas sujetas la una a la otra, y nada más tenía importancia. Ser amadas y poseer a la persona a quien se ama es la razón por la que nacimos.

In Britain, it’s kind of an old-guy thing to do,” I explain as she gleefully chalks up a cue stick. “You’re kidding! We have them in all the bars where I live.” She pantomimes a big theatrical wink. “Not that I’ve been in any, of course. Here, I’ll teach you to play pool. Though ‘snooker’ is a really cool word. Snooker!” she says, and it sounds hilarious in her accent. Who’d have thought it--me and Paige. If not BFFs, we’re certainly BFTs. Best Temporary Friends. I certainly didn’t see that coming. But we’re united, at least, in refusing to withdraw into the kind of slump that both Kendra and Kelly are indulging in. It may be unfair of me, but I think it’s selfish of them. We’re all in this together, away from home, and though the group could cope with one of the four throwing a wobbly, two is unquestionably a downer. Thank goodness, Paige teaching me pool is a lot of fun, especially as she keeps showing me how guys put their arms around girls from behind to do what I call copping a feel and she calls doing a booty rub. We laugh, a lot. We laugh so much that Paige’s mobile rings four times before we hear it, and she only just answers it before it goes to voice mail. “Hey, Ev! No, I wasn’t ignoring you--Violet and I were playing pool. She calls it snooker! Isn’t that such a great word?

Built like an ogre, with a thick ginger beard, wiry orange hairs sprouting from his tree trunk arms and a head resembling a shining snooker ball, he takes one look at Gwen and sneers. “Put that feckin’ gun down, cowgirl.

If you'd like to sit here and fume about Dempster or whatever else it is that's eating at you," I said, warming to my theme, "feel free to go right ahead. I'll just head off home and spend the evening watching the snooker championships." "It's not snooker season, actually," offered Colin, in a conciliatory way. "Fine. Darts, then." "Envisioning them thrown at my head?" he asked ruefully. Despite myself, I smiled back. "We were getting there.

Games as spectator sport - if snooker warrants televising, I fail to see why Super Monkey Ball or Ikaruga does not. Apparently

He looked out the window, watched people moving past, happy that they were unaware of the horror he’d experienced. How to keep them safe? When he turned back a large, bald-headed man sat across from him, assessing. Shrewd eyes bluer than cold ocean water, a thick neck and fingers, he gave his name only as Atlantic, a moniker obviously befitting his appearance. Atlantic said he would become Baldwin’s handler on these gruesome, silent cases. Baldwin listened attentively, mesmerized by the icy eyes, trying to place the older man’s nationality. He’d narrowed it to a Balkan state, could detect some touches of British influence in the drawn-out A’s, but couldn’t get a precise fix. It annoyed him. Atlantic talked in his odd accent for what seemed hours, though Baldwin knew it could only have been a few minutes. When he finished, Baldwin asked, “Why me?” “Because you are the best we’ve ever seen. Because you’re a natural polyglot, can assimilate to any country. How many languages are you fluent in? Eight? Nine?” “Thirteen.” Atlantic tipped his head in respect and tapped the edge of the table like a snooker master. “Because you have the compassion to give these victims closure but the brains to keep silent. And because we ask.” It had been enough of an answer at the time. Baldwin agreed to take on the position of profiler to the setup Atlantic called Operation Angelmaker.

she could go the other way round – but she does it to look at me. Like a killer going back to the site where she dumped a body, just to marvel at the rate of decomposition or to fuck the remains. I smiled back anyway, for the sake of The Act, and we had a short chat. I smiled again when we were done. Cue the hair swish. Cue the giggle. Cue me imagining her pinned to a snooker table and stabbing her in each hole.

هناك نهاية واحدة كاملة فقط لكل شيء ، وهى الموت ، ولكن هناك نهايات أخرى جيدة أيضاً

The aim of this chapter has been to recognize, within a Christian framework, certain truths in postmodernity, without getting snookered by the entire package. The Scylla of modernity and the Charybdis of postmodernity are equally uninviting to those who want to follow another Way, who are convinced that in a universe made by and for a personal/transcendent and omniscient God who talks, the only reasonable stance is that of the apostle Paul: “Let God be true, and every man a liar” (Rom. 3:4).

Life is Just like a frame of snooker, you just have to place every ball and then pot it and most importantly you should play safe at the same time.

Michael Lewis, the author of Moneyball, wrote in the New York Times in February 2009, “The virus that infected professional baseball in the 1990s, the use of statistics to find new and better ways to value players and strategies, has found its way into every major sport. Not just basketball and football, but also soccer and cricket and rugby and, for all I know, snooker and darts—

My favourite,‘ Ham said, before pushing the fruit into his mouth whole.  ‘It's like watching a ruddy hamster trying to eat a snooker ball,‘ Reg said, his eyes staring as Ham chewed the fleshy fruit between his teeth.

Take your cue from me. You'll love snooker.

Do you know, I have,’ says Bob, taking a first sip of his tea. ‘Often I just do online quizzes, or read up about things, or wait for lunch, and this has given me something else to do. I think I spend too much time alone.’ Ibrahim nods. ‘It’s nice to have the choice, isn’t it?’ ‘And to watch the snooker,’ says Bob. ‘I enjoyed that. I even enjoyed answering Joyce’s questions.

He always got snookered by charisma. It was his favorite drug.

استمر: "صدقوني"، كان يكلم الجميع الآن: " الديموقراطية الأمريكية هي النموذج. يا سلام، يجب أن تروا هذا البلد". كلهم كانوا يومئون برءوسهم بحكمة ورضا. لكنته الأمريكية، سواء كانت مقصودة أم لا، زادت من تفاهته.

كانت إدنا هي التي عرَّفتني بالمصريين. من النادر في وسط كالذي ولدت به أن تعرف مصريين. شرحت لي أن نادي الجزيرة الرياضي ولقاءات السباق وأصحاب الفيلات ومرتدي الأزياء الأوروبية وهواة السفر الذين قابلتهم ليسوا مصريين. كانت القاهرة والإسكندرية مدينتين كوزموبوليتانيتين، ليس بسبب وجود الأجانب بهما وحسب، ولكن لأن المصري المولود فيهما كان هو نفسه غريبا على أرضه.

أمن أجل عدم السماح لإدنا بالتحكم في حياتي؟ أي حياة، بحق السماء؟ هل تسمي هذه حياة؟ هل تسمي هذا رجلًا؟

We English never break the law, it's so malleable in our capable hands.

Dios es un jugador de snooker. Por eso todos los planetas giran!

Looking back, Jobs said that, had he known more, he would have focused on animation sooner and not worried about pushing the company’s hardware or software applications. On the other hand, had he known the hardware and software would never be profitable, he would not have taken over Pixar. “Life kind of snookered me into doing that, and perhaps it was for the better.
