When my trust was suspended from the fragile thread of justice and in the whole city they were chopping up my heart's lanterns when they would blindfold me with the dark handkerchief of Law and from my anxious temples of desire fountains of blood would squirt out when my life had become nothing nothing but the tic-tac of a clock, I discovered I must must must love, insanely.
Forough Farrokhzad
What I really needed wasn't a dose of school spirit; it was a glass of water, an aspirin the size of my fist, and the answers to the history exam that I hadn't studied for the night before. "As long as I'm dreaming," I muttered, my words lost to the cacophony of the gym, "I'd also like a pony, a convertible, and a couple of friends." "That's a tall order." I'd known that there were people sitting next to me, but I couldn't begin to imagine how one of them had heard me. I hadn't even heard me. "Would you settle for a piece of gum, an orange Tic Tac, and an introduction the the school slut?

Mort drove one of those little hybrid cars that, when not running on gasoline, was fueled by idealism.

Or possibly Global Thermonuclear War.
Jim Butcher (Ghost Story (The Dresden Files, #13))

That's when Poppy kissed me. I didn't have time to get ready. She just kissed me there and then, right on the lips. It felt lovely. I wasn't even scared this time. It was warm and not too wet. I didn't get any tongue. Her breath smelled like Orange Tic Tacs.
Stephen Kelman (Pigeon English)

Ancelli (Perfectly Mixed)
You wake up at SeaTac, SFO, LAX. You wake up at O'Hare, Dallas-Fort Worth, BWI. Pacific, mountain, central. Lose an hour, gain an hour. This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time.
Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club)
Il bastardo la umiliò ancor di più con un mezzo sorriso che non raggiunse gli occhi gelidi. Indietreggiò e fece per lasciare la stanza, per poi lanciarmi un ultimo sguardo provocatorio. «Tic tac, Ale».
Chiara Cilli (Uccidimi (Blood Bonds, #3))
Uite, daca-mi strang sufletul, nu se prinde nimic in el. Oricum, am ajuns departe, foarte departe. O mai fi ceva? Arborii cresc, le dau mugurii, le pica frunzele si se intreaba: o mai fi ceva? Oamenii iubesc, stau de vorba si mor. O mai fi ceva? Mortii tac. Scruteaza vesnicia si tac. Lasa iarba sa-i faca optimisti pana in toamna. Atunci mor din nou peste moartea lor veche, gramada. Si tac, si tac, si tac.
Marin Sorescu (Thirst of the Salt Mountain)
You wake up at SeaTac. I study the people on the laminated airline seat card. A woman floats in the ocean, her brown hair spread out behind her, her seat cushion clutched to her chest. The eyes are wide open, but the woman doesn’t smile or frown. In another picture, people calm as Hindu cows reach up from their seats toward oxygen masks sprung out of the ceiling. This must be an emergency. Oh.
Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club)

C.R. Jane (The Wrong Play (The Wrong Player, #2))
Rea­sons Why I Loved Be­ing With Jen I love what a good friend you are. You’re re­ally en­gaged with the lives of the peo­ple you love. You or­ga­nize lovely ex­pe­ri­ences for them. You make an ef­fort with them, you’re pa­tient with them, even when they’re side­tracked by their chil­dren and can’t pri­or­i­tize you in the way you pri­or­i­tize them. You’ve got a gen­er­ous heart and it ex­tends to peo­ple you’ve never even met, whereas I think that ev­ery­one is out to get me. I used to say you were naive, but re­ally I was jeal­ous that you al­ways thought the best of peo­ple. You are a bit too anx­ious about be­ing seen to be a good per­son and you def­i­nitely go a bit over­board with your left-wing pol­i­tics to prove a point to ev­ery­one. But I know you re­ally do care. I know you’d sign pe­ti­tions and help peo­ple in need and vol­un­teer at the home­less shel­ter at Christ­mas even if no one knew about it. And that’s more than can be said for a lot of us. I love how quickly you read books and how ab­sorbed you get in a good story. I love watch­ing you lie on the sofa read­ing one from cover-to-cover. It’s like I’m in the room with you but you’re in a whole other gal­axy. I love that you’re al­ways try­ing to im­prove your­self. Whether it’s running marathons or set­ting your­self chal­lenges on an app to learn French or the fact you go to ther­apy ev­ery week. You work hard to be­come a bet­ter ver­sion of your­self. I think I prob­a­bly didn’t make my ad­mi­ra­tion for this known and in­stead it came off as ir­ri­ta­tion, which I don’t re­ally feel at all. I love how ded­i­cated you are to your fam­ily, even when they’re an­noy­ing you. Your loy­alty to them wound me up some­times, but it’s only be­cause I wish I came from a big fam­ily. I love that you al­ways know what to say in con­ver­sa­tion. You ask the right ques­tions and you know ex­actly when to talk and when to lis­ten. Ev­ery­one loves talk­ing to you be­cause you make ev­ery­one feel im­por­tant. I love your style. I know you think I prob­a­bly never no­ticed what you were wear­ing or how you did your hair, but I loved see­ing how you get ready, sit­ting in front of the full-length mir­ror in our bed­room while you did your make-up, even though there was a mir­ror on the dress­ing ta­ble. I love that you’re mad enough to swim in the English sea in No­vem­ber and that you’d pick up spi­ders in the bath with your bare hands. You’re brave in a way that I’m not. I love how free you are. You’re a very free per­son, and I never gave you the sat­is­fac­tion of say­ing it, which I should have done. No one knows it about you be­cause of your bor­ing, high-pres­sure job and your stuffy up­bring­ing, but I know what an ad­ven­turer you are un­der­neath all that. I love that you got drunk at Jack­son’s chris­ten­ing and you al­ways wanted to have one more drink at the pub and you never com­plained about get­ting up early to go to work with a hang­over. Other than Avi, you are the per­son I’ve had the most fun with in my life. And even though I gave you a hard time for al­ways try­ing to for al­ways try­ing to im­press your dad, I ac­tu­ally found it very adorable be­cause it made me see the child in you and the teenager in you, and if I could time-travel to any­where in his­tory, I swear, Jen, the only place I’d want to go is to the house where you grew up and hug you and tell you how beau­ti­ful and clever and funny you are. That you are spec­tac­u­lar even with­out all your sports trophies and mu­sic cer­tifi­cates and in­cred­i­ble grades and Ox­ford ac­cep­tance. I’m sorry that I loved you so much more than I liked my­self, that must have been a lot to carry. I’m sorry I didn’t take care of you the way you took care of me. And I’m sorry I didn’t take care of my­self, ei­ther. I need to work on it. I’m pleased that our break-up taught me that. I’m sorry I went so mental. I love you. I always will. I'm glad we met.
Dolly Alderton (Good Material)
There, I saw Adam messing around with a container of tic tacs. I had found the source of the cinnamon taste of his kisses. He looked up. "Want one?" he offered. "Sure, thanks," I replied. He proceeded to knock exactly one tic tac into his palm and hand it to me. "Are you sure you can spare this?" I asked solemnly. "How many did you want?" "Well, more than one. Who gives somebody one tic tac? Would it kill to be a little more generous? some psychologist somewhere probably has some theory about one tic tac givers and fear of commitment." "Fear of commitment, my ass. You should be committed, you loon. If you were intended to have more than one tic tac, they would have just made tic tacs bigger. This is regulation sized tic tac, and it should be more than enough to satisfy your breath freshening needs," he said, sounding affronted. "A tic tac is not merely a breath freshener, it is a candy," I pointed out, voice rising in anger. Who was he calling a loon? "And they make them small on purpose, so you'll think you're getting more, and so you'll run out faster when someone asks for one, and you will give them a few!" "Why would someone ask for A tic tac when they really wanted several tic tacs? What does that say about their psychology?! Why not be honest from the get-go about what you want?!" he shouted back at me. " I didn't ask for one! You offered me one, God damn it!" "And as for your other points, it is primarily a breath freshener, and maybe you should alert the media about your great tic tac size conspiracy!" "I can't believe we're fighting about motherfucking tic tacs!" I screamed and the two of us glowered each other across my desk for several seconds before smiles slowly appeared on both of our faces. "Want to have make-up sex?" he asked. "Yeah, let's go," I said, getting up and heading for the bedroom.

Arthur Rimbaud (A Season in Hell)
Once she got a grip on it, it was a death grip, and I would sooner go into her purse looking for Tic Tacs than try to get it away from her.
Shay Savage (Caged: Takedown Teague (Caged, #1))

Lauren Oliver (Delirium (Delirium, #1))
Thanks. The women folk are downstairs. I would like to have your fiancé here join the other guys up in my man cave, where we can drink some good scotch and smoke a celebratory cigar in his honor," cam said patting Adam on the back. "Great," I said rolling my eyes at Adam. "I hope you brought your Tic Tacs." "As a matter of fact I did." He smirked. "Would you like one?" "No thanks. I know how precious they are to you." I smiled back.
N.M. Silber (Legally Wed (Lawyers in Love, #3.5))
With apologies to the folks in Redmond, I’ll end on another Microsoft joke because it makes the point well (a point that applies everywhere, not just at Microsoft): A helicopter was flying around above Seattle when a malfunction disabled all of its electronic navigation and communications equipment. The clouds were so thick that the pilot couldn’t tell where he was. Finally, the pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, and held up a handwritten sign that said WHERE AM I? in large letters. People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drawing their own large sign: YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER. The pilot smiled, looked at his map, determined the route to Sea-Tac Airport, and landed safely. After they were on the ground, the copilot asked the pilot how he had done it. “I knew it had to be the Microsoft building,” he said, “because they gave me a technically correct but completely useless answer.
William Poundstone (Are You Smart Enough to Work at Google?)
From the smoking section came a trio of wise men dressed as wise guys in Adidas tracksuits. They carried gifts of Goldschläger, Tic Tacs, and Skoal, and they stood there stupidly, staring at my wife writhing on the floor by the foosball table.
Ryan Ridge (New Bad News (The Linda Bruckheimer Series in Kentucky Literature))
This is for women whose purses are a morass of loose Tic Tacs, solitary Advils, lipsticks without tops, ChapSticks of unknown vintage, little bits of tobacco even though there has been no smoking going on for at least ten years, tampons that have come loose from their wrappings, English coins from a trip to London last October, boarding passes from long-forgotten airplane trips, hotel keys from God-knows-what hotel, leaky ballpoint pens, Kleenexes that either have or have not been used but there’s no way to be sure one way or another, scratched eyeglasses, an old tea bag, several crumpled personal checks that have come loose from the checkbook and are covered with smudge marks, and an unprotected toothbrush that looks as if it has been used to polish silver.
Nora Ephron (I Feel Bad About My Neck)
All around me, attractive young people are hunched over their StarTacs and Nokias with preoccupied expressions, as if probing a sore tooth, or adjusting a hearing aid, or squeezing a pulled muscle; personal technology has begun to look like a personal handicap.
Jonathan Franzen (How to Be Alone)
MAGDA: După ce o cunoști? ANA: Ei! După multe. Pe toate le cunosc. M-am învățat cu ele. Numai s-o iau în mână și spun care cum e. Sunt unele de scârțâie, când le deschizi, ca o ușă neunsă. Altele nici nu le auzi. Sunt și cărțile ca oamenii: unele tac, altele țipă.
Mihail Sebastian (Ultima oră)
Attendez!... Je choisis mes rimes... Là, j'y suis. (Il fait ce qu'il dit, à mesure.) Je jette avec grâce mon feutre, Je fais lentement l'abandon Du grand manteau qui me calfeutre, Et je tire mon espadon; Élégant comme Céladon, Agile comme Scaramouche, Je vous préviens, cher Mirmidon, Qu'à la fin de l'envoi, je touche! (Premier engagement de fer.) Vous auriez bien dû rester neutre; Où vais-je vous larder, dindon ?... Dans le flanc, sous votre maheutre ?... Au coeur, sous votre bleu cordon ?... - Les coquilles tintent, ding-don ! Ma pointe voltige: une mouche ! Décidément... c'est au bedon, Qu'à la fin de l'envoi, je touche. Il me manque une rime en eutre... Vous rompez, plus blanc qu'amidon ? C'est pour me fournir le mot pleutre ! - Tac! je pare la pointe dont Vous espériez me faire don: - J'ouvre la ligne, - je la bouche... Tiens bien ta broche, Laridon ! A la fin de l'envoi, je touche. (Il annonce solennellement:) Envoi Prince, demande à Dieu pardon ! Je quarte du pied, j'escarmouche, Je coupe, je feinte... (Se fendant.) Hé! Là donc! (Le vicomte chancelle, Cyrano salue.) A la fin de l'envoi, je touche.
Edmond Rostand (Cyrano de Bergerac)
Le temps passe. Y compris quand cela semble impossible. Y compris quand chaque tic-tac de la grande aiguille est aussi douloureux que les pulsations du sang sous un hématome. Il s’écoule de manière inégale, rythmé par des embardées étranges et des répits soporifiques, mais il passe. Même pour moi.
Stephenie Meyer (Tentation (Twilight, T2))
I’ve seen the war criminal reformed because he gave the wife, of the person, who didn’t prosecute him, a mint at a funeral. I think if only Heinrich Himmler had carried Tic Tacs in his pocket all would have been forgiven. Bad paintings help humanize you even when you’re legacy rests on a pyre of bones.
Gary Floyd (Liberté: The Days of Rage 1990-2020)
Nine balls of julienned vegetables sit above a dense chicken vinaigrette. The plate looks like a game of noughts and crosses (tic-tac-toe). The table is bathed in a cloud of chicken vapour with a few sprays of eau-de-cologne of roasted chicken. In this way the chicken is everywhere and nowhere all at once.
Massimo Bottura (Never Trust A Skinny Italian Chef)
Quand un bon vin meuble mon estomac Je suis plus savant que Balzac —Plus sage que Pibrac; Mon brass seul faisant l’attaque De la nation Coseaque, La mettroit au sac; De Charon je passerois le lac En dormant dans son bac, J’irois au fier Eac, Sans que mon coeur fit tic ni tac, Premmer du tabac. —French Vaudeville
Edgar Allan Poe (Edgar Allan Poe: The Complete Tales and Poems (The Classics Collection))
Eu nu aștept, îmi place doar să privesc linia orizontului. Parcă e o gură tăcută ce refuză să se deschidă. Buza de sus e cerul, cea de jos e pământul, poate că tac pentru că nu vor să-și întrerupă sărutul. Poate că dacă m-ai fi iubit, am fi devenit și noi o linie a orizontului, două buze ce nu vor să se despartă. Eu nu aștept, îmi risipesc doar gândurile. Le urmăresc cum aleargă spre linia orizontului și se întorc în grabă chicotind ca niște copii care au făcut o poznă. Eu nu aștept, las doar timpul să treacă pe lângă mine, îi dau un avans, vreau să creadă că m-a depășit dar se înșeală. Când va fi deja obosit de ticăitul ceasului, am să sar înaintea lui. Eu nu aștept!
Moise D. (Yume)
An analogy to natural language illustrates the point. The letters A,C, and T convey very little meaning by themselves, but can be combined in ways to produce substantially different messages. It is, once again, the sequence that carries the message: the words act, tac, and cat, for instance, arise from the same letters, yet signal vastly different meanings.
Siddhartha Mukherjee (The Gene: An Intimate History)
Do you remember when we popped tic-tacs and altoids when we were sixteen like they were prescriptions for broken hearts and pulled muscles? Do you remember the time we filled whole notebooks with poetry about all the ones we knew would leave? Do you remember the candle in your outdoor shed and the whispers we shared when everything felt empty and everyone felt distant? Do you remember me?
Amanda Helm
Pero si un día no vienes después del desayuno, si un día te veo a través de cualquier espejo buscando, quizá, a otro, si el teléfono suena y suena en tu habitación vacía, entonces, después de indecibles angustias, entonces porque la locura del corazón humano no tiene límites- buscaré y encontraré un tú como el tuyo. Entretanto, borremos de un golpe el tic-tac del reloj del tiempo. Acércate más
Virginia Woolf
Toată viața am încercat- și mi-a reușit, de cele mai multe ori să fiu discretă. Poate de la mama e chestia asta, și acum țin minte cum zicea mereu ca să nu mai vorbesc tare că ne aud vecinii (...) mai încet, că ne știe toată lumea, totul trebuia să se petreacă ușor și pe muțenie. Oricum, am încercat întodeauna să trec neobservată. Nu am vorbit niciodată în public despre evenimente care mă priveau personal(...) Sunt femeia de pe margine, le-am spus mereu și celor pe care i-am iubit , ca un fel de avertisment, sunt în afară mai mereu, acolo e zona mea de confort. O vreme mi-a și plăcut așa, eram un fel de observator neutru, nu mă implicam prea mult, nu doream prea mult, era mai sigur. În timp, însă, am trecut în cealată extremă. Am ajuns să urăsc cumințenia asta idioată care mă caracterizează, incapacitatea de a mă exterioriza, de a-mi savura plăcerile. Timiditatea, frustrările, orgoliul stupid. La mine totul se consumă încet, parcă în reluare. Între gesturi și emoțiile sau gândurile care le-au provocat există o distanță suficent de mare, încât să se ducă dracului orice urmă de spontaneitate. Calmul meu nu este calm, liniștea mea nu este o liniște, sub aparențele astea există o viermuială de gânduri, presupuneri, temeri. Tac mai mereu, dar e o tăcere care mă sufocă.
Maria Orban (Oameni mari)
Unele au auzit spunandu-se ca este un lagar de munca si ca nu are nimic de-a face cu Auschwitz sau cu Mauthausen, unde singura industrie este aceea de a omori oameni. Deci, nu sunt duse la un abator. Par vesti linistitoare, dar cele mai multe tac, pentru ca speranta a devenitla fel de subtire ca o lama de ras. Si de fiecare data cand pui mana pe ea, te tai. - Eu vin de la Auschwitz, afirma una. Deja nimic nu poate sa fie mai rau.
Antonio Iturbe (La bibliotecaria de Auschwitz)
- On m'appelle dans ce canton l'ermite de Copmanshurt. Et on y ajoute l'épithète de saint, mais je me trouve indigne d'une telle addition à mon nom. Et vous, sire chevalier, m'apprendrez-vous comment se nomme mon hôte ? - On m'appelle dans ce canton le Chevalier Noir, répondit le chevalier du tac au tac ; et on y ajoute l'épithète de « fainéant », mais je me trouve indigne d'une telle addition à mon nom. L'ermite ne put s'empêcher de sourire à cette réponse.

I can always win in Tic Tac toe for example one strategy can be used serveral times and one moment he will find that I'm using this strategy and in the other day he will forgot aobut this and I just repeat the same - But from this point of view it's kind a useless and taking time. I want to find new path ways, the same is with chess I can win always the same way but one moment it come the rule or the thought - hey I want this to return and I will give you to return. I hate this moment it's kind a noobish or kind a bot way!
Deyth Banger
He’s gay, he’s single, he owns his own business. He lives in a cute-as-hell cabin-type house. He’s sweet and funny, and Liv, I don’t think you understand. He even named his dog Chutney from Legally Blonde. And he has little shoes for her so she can walk in the snow.
N.R. Walker (Tic-Tac-Mistletoe (Hartbridge Christmas, #1))
A good assistant is someone with good time management skills, good communication skills, and the ability to balance a lot of very different tasks at the same time,’ I replied with well-earned confidence. ‘But the difference between a good assistant and a brilliant assistant is the ability to anticipate potential problems before they arise. You’ve got to be prepared for whatever comes at you when the job turns out to be equal parts assistant, therapist, and best friend, but still know your boundaries. And you should always have mints. I’ve basically got stock in Tic Tacs.
Lindsey Kelk (On a Night Like This)
CES only recently evolved to become a carefully controlled form of brain stimulation called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), where a computer shapes the exact electrical waves that can change your brain activity the most, with more precision than ever before. We use it for brain upgrades at the 40 Years of Zen neurofeedback facility because it can help new neurons grow more quickly and insulate themselves to carry more electrical current. Another less evolved but similar technique is transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). You can buy tDCS machines online for $100.
Dave Asprey (Head Strong: The Bulletproof Plan to Activate Untapped Brain Energy to Work Smarter and Think Faster-in Just Two Weeks)
Les graines de tournesol Krispy Kernel, c'est un peu de la marde, tu trouves pas? Ces gens-là sont en business depuis soixante ans (j'ai vérifié) et ils n'ont pas encore trouvé le moyen de produire des graines de tournesol convenables. J'appelle ça rire du monde. Premièrement, le taux d'écales vides par sac est scandaleusement élevé. Et puis, rien qu'à voir on voit bien qu'ils utilisent des graines de mauvaise qualité, toutes petites dont les écales ont tendance à se désagréger, tandis que les Lalumière éclatent sous la dent en produisant un tac! sonore avant de libérer de belles grosses graines. [...]
François Blais (Sam)
Most young children can’t read, and if they can, it’s mostly words like “dog” and “go.” But Madeline had been reading since age three and, now, at age five, was already through most of Dickens. Madeline was that kind of child—the kind who could hum a Bach concerto but couldn’t tie her own shoes; who could explain the earth’s rotation but stumbled at tic-tac-toe. And that was the problem. Because while musical prodigies are always celebrated, early readers aren’t. And that’s because early readers are only good at something others will eventually be good at, too. So being first isn’t special—it’s just annoying.
Bonnie Garmus (Lessons in Chemistry)
Zvonul este cel mai grăbit dintre toate relele pământului. Trăiește din iuțeală, iar pasul îi sporește vigoarea. Mai întâi mărunt și sfios, el dobândește curând o făptură uriașă. El este un gicant căruia i-a dat naștere Pământul mâniat împotriva zeilor. Piciorul acestei păsări stranii e tot atât de vioi pe cât îi este de iute zborul. Sub fiecare din penele sale se află ochi, urechi și limbi care nu tac niciodată. Ziua, stă de veghe pe acoperișurile caselor înalte, sau pe turnurile care străpung cerul. De acolo împrăștie bârfeala cu aceeași hotărâre cu care vestește adevărul. Noapte plutește între cer și pământ, văzând pe întuneric ca și pe lumina zilei.
George Andreescu (Iliada, Odiseea, Eneida)
Ce simt? Nimic, cred, doar o șoaptă călduță a buzelor, ultima rază e criptată. Fragilă mitomanie a oricărei vieți care se îngroapă. Cuvintele tac, răsturnate. Ar trebui să mă întorc în punctul în care a început viața mea, a căzut zăvorul și s-a deschis ușa. În vara frumuseții. Văd un buchet de mimoze, asta văd în cameră, unde ultimele lucruri se plimbă-ncoace și-ncolo isterice ca niște femei care trebuie să plece. Știi cum sunt numite mimozele, băiete? Floarea care se rușinează. Sunt de bun augur pentru cine pornește într-o călătorie. Acum coboară în apă, botează albastrul. Dar tu să nu te rușinezi de călătorie. Viața, crede-mă, nu e un mănunchi de speranțe pierdute, o mirositoare broderie de mimoze, viața urlă și călărește în neîncetata ei splendoare".
Margaret Mazzantini (Splendore)
And at the risk of sounding like Andy Rooney on Sixty Minutes, have you ever wondered why we say fiddle-faddle and not faddle- fiddle? Why is it ping-pong and pitter-patter rather than pong-ping and patter-pitter? Why dribs and drabs, rather than vice versa? Why can't a kitchen be span and spic? Whence riff-raff, mish-mash, flim-flam, chit-chat, tit for tat, knick-knack, zig-zag, sing-song, ding-dong, King Kong, criss-cross, shilly-shally, see-saw, hee-haw, flip-flop, hippity-hop, tick-tock, tic-tac-toe, eeny-meeny-miney-moe, bric-a-brac, clickety-clack, hickory-dickory-dock, kit and kaboodle, and bibbity-bobbity-boo? The answer is that the vowels for which the tongue is high and in the front always come before the vowels for which the tongue is low and in the back.
Steven Pinker (The Language Instinct: How the Mind Creates Language)
The crowds had been unbearable. First at Northgate, where she did most of her shopping and then at the airport. Sea-Tac had been filled with activity and noise, everyone in a hurry to get someplace else. There seemed to be little peace or good cheer and a whole lot of selfish concern and rudeness. Then, in the tranquility of church on Christmas Eve, everything had come into perspective for Cait. There had been crowds and rudeness that first Christmas, too, she reasoned. Yet in the midst of that confusion had come joy and peace and love. For most people, it was still the same. Christmas gifts and decorations and dinners were, after all, expressions of the love you felt for your family and friends. And if the preparations sometimes got a bit chaotic, well, that no longer bothered Cait.
Debbie Macomber (Home for the Holidays: An Anthology)
Primer of Love [Lesson 40] Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else. ~ Margaret Mead Lesson 40) Lovingly celebrate your partner's peculiarities. You were brought up by two totally different dysfunctional families. No two sets of alcoholic parents are alike. You each come with your own tics, tacs and oddities. Lovingly accept these differences as aspects of your lover's uniqueness. An aspect is just the other side of the coin of some quality you already love about them. For instance is he barks whenever he urinates, this is simply an aspect of his need to guard over you and protect you from own worst enemy * yourself. If she yells out the name of a previous lover during an orgasm, this is just another aspect ofah, fuck it! * put the down pillow on her sorry face and suffocate the bitch.

Near the Mexican border, rocky canyons cleave the mountains, laying them aside like broken wedges of gray cheese furred with a dark mold of pinon and juniper that sheds hard shadows on moon glazed stone, etched lithographs in gray and black, taupe and silver. Beneath feathery chamisa a rattlesnake flicks his tongue, following a scent. Along a precarious rock ledge a ring-tailed cat strolls, nose snuffling the cracks. At the base of the stone a peccary trots along familiar foot trails, toward the toes of a higher cliff where a seeping spring gathers in a rocky goblet. In the desert, sounds are dry and rattling: pebbles toed into cracks, hoofs tac-tacking on stone, the serpent rattle warning the wild pig to veer away, which she does with a grunt to the tribe behind her. From the rocky scarp the ring-tailed cat hears the whole population of the desert pass about its business in the canyon below.

Dear Russell, Please don’t fall in love with Mrs. Smith’s niece. I— Caleb’s dash crossed the entire page. Then he filled up the rest of the sheet with doodles, drawing stars and spirals and little tic-tac-toe boards. I love you, he wrote at the bottom, in tiny letters. I want to be with you. I want you to wait for me till I’m ready, and I can’t ask because for all I know you’d be waiting till doomsday, because I don’t know how to accept He wrote a series of dashes. He scribbled some more stars. He flipped over the page, and wrote on the back: that you might leave me. That it might not last. And also that it might last, it might be real, it might be something I have to tell my parents about one day, I might have to choose you over the entire rest of the world. That I might choose you over the entire rest of the world, and you might change your mind. He could not look at it anymore. He flipped the paper back over, and wrote one more sentence among the scattered stars. But I am going to try.
Aster Glenn Gray (The Sleeping Soldier)
NOAPTEA IADULUI Am dat pe gât o straşnică înghiţitură de otravă.De trei ori binecuvântat să fie sfatul ce ni s-a dat! Mi-au luat foc măruntaiele.Veninul e atât de violent încât îmi răsuceşte mădularele,mă schilodeşte,mă doboară.Mor de sete,mă înnăbuş,nu pot nici măcar să strig.E iadul,osânda veşnică.Uite cum se-nalţă flăcările!Ard,cum se şi cuvine.Hai,demone! Întrezărisem convertirea la Bine şi Fericire,la mânturie adică.Chiar de-aş putea descrie priveliştea,aerul iadului nu rabdă imnurile!Erau acolo milioane de făpturi fermecătoare,un suav concert spiritual,forţa şi pacea,ambiţiie nobile,şi mai ştiu eu ce? Ambiţiile nobile! Şi din nou viaţa!Dacă osânda veşnică.. Un om care vrea să se mutileze e osândit,nu-i aşa?Mă cred în infern,înseamnă că şi sunt.Se împlineşte catechismul.Sunt sclav al botezului meu.Părinţi,voi m-aţi nenorocit,nenorocindu-vă şi pe voi.Sărman nevinovat!Infernul nu-i poate vătăma pe păgâni.Şi iarăşi viaţa! Ceva mai târziu,deliciile damnaţiunii vor fi mai profunde.Repede,o crimă,ca să mă prăbuşesc în neant,potrivit legilor omeneşti! Taci,taci odată!..Aici vezi ruşinea,reproşul:Satan care zice că focul nu-i nobil,că furia mea e îngrozitor de stupidă.Destul!..Mi se şoptesc erori,vorbe magice,miresme înşelătoare,muzici puerile.Şi când mă gândesc că deţin adevărul,că văd calea cea dreaptă:am o judecată sănătoasă şi hotărâtă,sunt copt pentru perfecţine...Ce orgoliu! Pielea capului mi se usucă.Îndurare!Doamne,mi-e frică!Mi-e sete,o sete grozavă.O,copilărie,iarba,ploaia,lacul,podit cu pietre,clarul de lună când clopotul din turn bătea de douăsprezece ori..la ora asta diavolul e-n clopotiniţă.O,Mario!Sfântă-Fecioară!..Mi-e silă de prostia mea. Nu-s oare acolo şi suflete cinstite,care-mi vor binele?Veniţi!..Am însă gura astupată cu o pernă,căci ele nu mă aud,sunt doar nişte fantome.Şi apoi,nimeni nu se gândeşte vreodată la altcineva.Nu vă apropiaţi!Miros a ars,asta e sigur. Halucinaţiile sunt fără număr.Tocmai de ele am avut parte,mereu:pierderea credinţei în istorie,uitarea principiilor.O să tac:poeţii şi vizionarii ar putea,altfel,să mă pizmuiască. Dar ia te uită!Orologiul vieţii s-a oprit adineaori.Nu mă mai aflu în lume.Teologia e serioasă,iadul e cu siguranţă jos,pe când cerul e sus.Extazul,coşmarul,somnul într-un cuib de flăcări. [..]Să ne gândim la mine,asta mă face să nu-mi pară prea rău după lume.Am norocul c-am încetat să sufăr.Viaţa mea n-a fost decât un şir de dulci nebunii,regret,dar aşa e. Pfui!Să ne schmonosim în fel şi chip! E clar că suntem în afara lumii.Nu se mai aude nici un sunet.Mi-am pierdut simţul pipăitului.[..]Tare obosit mai sunt! Ar trebui să dispun de un iad pentru mânie,de un iad pentru trufie şi de un iad al dezmierdărilor:un adevărat concert de iaduri. Mor de oboseală.Iată mormântul,mă duc la viermi,oroare supremă!Satan,farsorule,ai vrea să mă spulberi cu vrăjile tale!Protestez!Protestez!cer o izbitură de furcă,o fărâmă de foc! Ah,să revii la viaţă!Să-ţi arunci privirea asupra hidoşeniilor noastre!Şi otrava asta,sărutul acesta de-o mie de ori blestemat!Slăbiciunea mea,cruzimea acestei lumi!Fie-ţi milă,Doamne şi ascunde-mă,prea mă simt rău!Iată,stau ascuns şi totuşi nu sunt ascuns. E focul,care se înalţă o dată cu cel osândit.
Arthur Rimbaud (A Season in Hell)
verligen-Szene Êrec was biderbe unde guot, ritterlîche stuont sîn muot ê er wîp genaeme und hin heim kaeme: nû sô er heim komen ist, dô kêrte er allen sînen list an vrouwen Ênîten minne. sich vlizzen sîne sinne wie er alle sîne sache wante zuo gemache. sîn site er wandeln began. als er nie würde der man, alsô vertreip er den tac. des morgens er nider lac, daz er sîn wîp trûte unz daz man messe lûte. sô stuonden si ûf gelîche vil unmüezeclîche. ze handen si sich viengen, zer kappeln si giengen: dâ was ir tweln alsô lanc unz daz man messe gesanc. diz was sîn meistiu arbeit: sô was der imbîz bereit. swie schiere man die tische ûf zôch, mit sînem wîbe er dô vlôch ze bette von den liuten. dâ huop sich aber triuten. von danne enkam er aber nie unz er ze naht ze tische gie. (Erec war rechtschaffen und gut, sein Geist war ritterlich gewesen, bevor er eine Frau genommen hatte und nach Hause zurückgekehrt war. Nachdem er jetzt zu Hause ist, wendete er alle seine Gedanken an die Liebe Enites. Sein Verstand richtete sich nur darauf, wie er alles zu seiner Bequemlichkeit einrichten könne. Er änderte seine Gewohnheiten. Als sei er nie ein Mann geworden, so vertrieb er den Tag. Morgens legte er sich nieder, um seine Frau zu lieben, bis man zur Messe läutete. Dann standen sie beide eilig auf. Sie nahmen sich bei der Hand und gingen zur Kapelle; dort blieben sie gerade so lange wie man die Messe sang. Das war seine größte Mühe; dann war schon das Essen fertig. Sobald man die Tische hochgezogen hatte, eilte er mit seiner Frau von den Leuten weg ins Bett. Da ging die Liebe von neuem an. Von dort kam er nicht mehr weg, bis er zum Abendessen ging.)
Hartmann von Aue (Erec (Middle Ages Series))
Recorría sin descanso la inmensidad del sur con su pequeño ejército, adentrándose en los bosques húmedos y sombríos, bajo la alta cúpula verde tejida por los árboles más nobles y coronada por la soberbia araucaria, que se perfilaba contra el cielo con su dura geometría. Las patas de los caballos pisaban un colchón fragante de humus, mientras los jinetes se abrían camino con las espadas en la espesura, a ratos impenetrable, de los helechos. Cruzaban arroyos de aguas frías, donde los pájaros solían quedar congelados en las orillas, las mismas aguas donde las madres mapuche sumergían a los recién nacidos. Los lagos eran prístinos espejos del azul intenso del cielo, tan quietos, podían contarse las piedrecillas en el fondo. Las arañas tejían sus encajes, perlados de rocío, entre las ramas de robles, arrayanes y avellanos. Las aves del bosque cantaban reunidas, diuca, chincol, jilguero, torcaza, tordo, zorzal, y hasta el pájaro carpintero, marcando el ritmo con su infatigable tac-tac-tac. Al paso de los caballeros se levantaban nubes de mariposas y los venados, curiosos, se acercaban a saludar. La luz se filtraba entre las hojas y dibujaba sombras en el paisaje; la niebla subía del suelo tibio y envolvía el mundo en un hálito de misterio. Lluvia y más lluvia, ríos, lagos, cascadas de aguas blancas y espumosas, un universo líquido. Y al fondo, siempre, las montañas nevadas, los volcanes humeantes, las nubes viajeras. En otoño el paisaje era de oro y sangre, enjoyado, magnífico. A Pedro de Valdivia se le escapaba el alma y se le quedaba enredada entre los esbeltos troncos vestidos de musgo, fino terciopelo. El Jardín del Edén, la tierra prometida, el paraíso. Mudo, mojado de lágrimas, el conquistador conquistado iba descubriendo el lugar donde acaba la tierra, Chile.
Isabel Allende (Inés del alma mía)
Marlboro Man opened the passenger door of the semi and allowed me to climb out in front of him, while Tim exited the driver-side door to see us off. That wasn’t so bad, I thought as I made my way down the steps. Aside from the manicure remark and my sweating problem, meeting Marlboro Man’s brother had gone remarkably well. I looked okay that evening, had managed a couple of witty remarks, and had worn just the right clothing to conceal my nervousness. Life was good. Then, because the Gods of Embarrassment seemed hell-bent on making me look bad, I lost my balance on the last step, hooking the heel of my stupid black boots on the grate of the step and awkwardly grabbing the handlebar to save myself from falling to my death onto the gravel driveway below. But though I stopped myself from wiping out, my purse flew off my arm and landed, facedown, on Tim’s driveway, violently spilling its contents all over the gravel. Only a woman can know the dreaded feeling of spilling her purse in the company of men. Suddenly my soul was everywhere, laid bare for Marlboro Man and his brother to see: year-old lip gloss, a leaky pen, wadded gum wrappers, and a hairbrush loaded up with hundreds, if not thousands, of my stringy auburn hairs. And men don’t understand wads of long hair--for all they knew, I had some kind of follicular disorder and was going bald. There were no feminine products, but there was a package of dental floss, with a messy, eight-inch piece dangling from the opening and blowing in the wind. And there were Tic Tacs. Lots and lots of Tic Tacs. Orange ones. Then there was the money. Loose ones and fives and tens and twenties that had been neatly folded together and tucked into a pocket inside my purse were now blowing wildly around Tim’s driveway, swept away by the strengthening wind from an approaching storm. Nothing in my life could have prepared me for the horror of watching Marlboro Man, my new love, and his brother, Tim, whom I’d just met, chivalrously dart around Tim’s driveway, trying valiantly to save my wayward dollars, all because I couldn’t keep my balance on the steps of their shiny new semi. I left my car at Tim’s for the evening, and when we pulled away in Marlboro Man’s pickup, I stared out the window, shaking my head and apologizing for being such a colossal dork. When we got to the highway, Marlboro Man glanced at me as he made a right-hand turn. “Yeah,” he said, consoling me. “But you’re my dork.

His bronzed skin and thick muscles were clearly visible under the white linen button-up. Nick shot a glance at Izzy. She stood star struck. He understood how this guy had earned the nickname of Don Juan. Girls must throw themselves at him. He suddenly felt insecure. He was angry at himself for caring that Izzy had noticed him. They were partners. Nothing more. He was aware that this was becoming something that he had to convince himself of more and more lately. Declan continued, “You remember Hags? He’s our chauffeur.” He thumbed in the direction of Haggerty. “He’s now with the Bureau’s HRT. He’ll run tac ops for this thing.” “Well, we’re in good hands then. Come in and meet my sister, Cassidy.

The purpose of this experiment as George Kelly put it is “…to realize here and now that our innermost personality is something we create as we go along rather than something we discover lurking in our insides or imposed upon [us] from without.” (George Kelly, Fixed-Role Therapy) As we attempt this experiment we will slip out of character from time to time, but the important thing is to return to acting as our second self as quickly as possible. To help us at these crucial moments we may find it useful to devise a ritual which symbolizes and facilitates our transformation into our second self. Todd Herman, author of the Alter Ego Effect and a peak performance coach, cautions that this technique will only work if the ritualized actions we select are performed exclusively when we need to activate the transition into our second self. One example of a ritual that Herman recommends is to carry around a box of Tic Tacs and to pop one each time we need to get back into character.

So when you’re dealing in markets, it’s not enough to have your own view, you have to consider what other people think. Neoclassical economics likes to treat humans as deductive processing machines; we can go from general premises to specific conclusions. The trouble is, in all but the simplest situations (think tic-tac-toe), we simply don’t have the computational ability to operate deductively. Indeed, humans tend to be superb pattern recognizers—so good, in fact, that we see patterns where none exist. Toss out rational decision making, and things start to get complicated.

People of my persuasion don’t get panic attacks,” Lula said. “What’s your persuasion?” “I’m big and bold. I used to be Presbyterian, but I decided to change over when I was in high school.” “So big and bold is like a religion?” “You bet your ass,” Lula said. “It’s a belief, you see what I’m saying?” “What about God?” “I’m pretty sure he’s big and bold,” Lula said. “He’d have to be in order to take care of the universe, not to mention everything else that’s going on.

Compassion, in its essence, is neutral. It’s holistic that way, and powerful because it yields a much wider perspective free of judgment or stress of any kind.

Có một điều khá hài hước rằng, cao gót ban đầu vốn dĩ không phát minh để phục vụ cho phụ nữ. Điều đó hoàn toàn ngược lại với ngày nay, khi phụ nữ sử dụng phát minh này để tôn lên nét quyến rũ cơ thể. Theo một số nhà nghiên cứu học, giày dép là một phát minh có từ năm 46.000 đến 26.000 trước CN.

And, Garcia?” “Go ahead, sir,” Garcia replies from the TacOps station hundreds of kilometers overhead. “Next time I tell you to let me take your spot on a drop, punch me in the crotch,” I say. Sergeant Garcia laughs. “To be fair, sir, you asked to get put on a drop ship to Shitsville if you ever got too comfortable behind this console.” “A fair point,” I concede.

When you attempt to change, if you’re part of the 92%, this happens: 1. You decide to change. 2. You are scared of the change, but determined to do it. 3. You start. 4. You hit a wall. 5. You stop your new action and fail to achieve change. This almost always happens at the beginning. You don’t really know what to do; you lack skills and/or knowledge. You are destined to struggle at first. After the first failure, your doubts awaken anxiousness. You try again, you fail again. Your doubts get stronger, your resolve weakens. You lose your enthusiasm for the change, and your efforts from this point are half-hearted. Half-hearted attempts have even less likelihood of succeeding, so you fail again and your negative attitude is reinforced. The problem is that you expected significant results too soon. That’s the curse of instant gratification at work. It’s completely unrealistic to expect a visible change in your body shape two weeks after starting a new diet. If it’s a balanced diet, not some Tic-Tac hardcore regime (only two calories), you can reasonably expect to lose maybe four pounds. Two is more realistic. Let’s say three on average. Even if you are a skinny fellow like me, three pounds is just 2% of your body weight. That loss will be almost invisible. That result may not seem enough for the effort you are making. Well, it is actually a great result. If you keep that pace, you would lose 78 pounds in a year. That’s visible even on obese people. However, you’ve set your internal evaluating mechanism to expect much more in a shorter time. You had the picture of your skinny bikini or 6-pack self in your mind, but all you see in the mirror is your same old flabby self. What is more, you’ll usually take intensive action when you begin something. You’re keen! You want results! You use this initial enthusiasm to apply massive effort. A very restrictive diet! A lot of exercises! It’s no wonder that after two weeks of such hard work you decide (at least subconsciously) that it’s not worth it. Do you see what’s happening?

Nu mă indignez,căci indignarea e făcută pentru oamenii puternici;nu mă resemnez,fiindcă resemnarea e pentru cei nobili;nici nu tac,fiidcă tăcerea este pentru cei mari.Eu nu sunt nici puternic,nici nobil,nici mare.Eu sufăr şi visez.Mă plâng fiidcă sunt un slab,iar pentru că sunt un artsit mă distrez imaginând plângeri muzicale sau aranjându-mi visurile în aşa fel încât să fie cât mai conforme cu ideea de a le avea frumoase.Îmi pare rău numai că nu sunt un copil,ca să pot să cred în visurile mele.

Una lezione ha un denominatore comune che ci lega l'uno all'altro come in una catena. In fondo alla catena è appeso un orologio che segna lo scorrere del tempo. Udiamo il tic tac attutito che spezza il silenzio e spesso lo vediamo, ma non lo ascoltiamo. Ogni secondo lascia un segno nella vita di ciascuno; arriva e se ne va, svanendo senza squilli di tromba, disperdendosi nell'aria come come il fumo che si leva da un dolce di Natale appena sfornato. Il tempo ci riscalda e, quando è finito, ci lascia al freddo. E' più prezioso dell'oro, dei diamanti, più prezioso del petrolio o di qualsiasi tesoro. Il tempo non ci basta mai; il tempo crea conflitti nei nostri cuori e quindi dobbiamo usarlo saggiamente. Non possiamo impacchettarlo, mettergli un fiocco e lasciarlo sotto l'albero per la mattina di Natale. Non possiamo regalare il tempo, ma possiamo condividerlo

Consider the case of SeaTac, a suburb of Seattle that increased its minimum wage for certain service industry employees to fifteen dollars per hour starting January 1, 2014. The Seattle Times reported in February 2014: “At the Clarion Hotel off International Boulevard, a sit-down restaurant has been shuttered, though it might be replaced by a less-labor-intensive café. . . . Other businesses have adjusted in ways that run the gamut from putting more work in the hands of managers, to instituting a small ‘living-wage surcharge’ for a daily parking space near the airport.” Some businesses in SeaTac have cut benefits to their employees. When asked whether they appreciated the increase in the minimum wage, a hotel employee replied, “I lost my 401k, health insurance, paid holiday and vacation.” The hotel reportedly offered meals to its employees. Now the employees must bring their own food. The hotel has also cut overtime and the opportunity to earn overtime pay. A part-time waitress stated, “I’ve got $15 an hour, but all my tips are now much less.”41

The man, his feet tip-tapping softly on the stairs, hated it. He avoided the Index like a gambling addict avoids the tic-tac-tac of the dice table; but, like an addict, he was always, always aware of it: of the pull of the Books, and the darkness, and the silence.

Some are easy, Some are hard. Some may feel like the longest yard. But keep on going, Do not stop. One day you will reach the top. And when you're there, Look out below. Give a hand to friend or foe. Help them up, And you will find, That it was you, The entire time.

Uneori e mai bine să stai cu oile, care tac şi-şi caută doar hrană şi apă. Sau să stai cu cărţile, care povestesc istorii de necrezut numai atunci când omul vrea să le asculte. Dar când vorbeşti cu oamenii, spun nişte lucruri de nu ştii ce să le răspunzi.

GEMÜTLICH Gemütlich –un mot allemand– Traduit, il pâlit. Agréable ? Intime ? Débonnaire ? Commode ? Ce n'est pas comme en allemand. Gemütlich –brise-bise, fleurs Et serviettes en dentelle. Le tic-tac de la vieille horloge, Dans les tasses, le café. Gemütlich –après une marche virile Par vent et brouillard, Se retrouver chez soi, Dans la forteresse. Ils t'ont conmmandé. Tu leur as obéi. Ici tu es le Maître. Canari, chien, épouse se taisent. Tu fais ton somme… Gemütlich –le petit cimetière Sur la colline, Avec les anges et les vieux saules, Traversé par la lumière. Tu entends le tic-tac de l'horloge, Le bourg est proche. Au marché on démonte les étalages Dans l'annonce du crépuscule. ...................................................; Je parcours les villes allemandes Et me secoue Une pensée –pour ceux qui dorment perdus, En un autre pays. Sous un ciel étranger, ils ont fondu, Terrassés sous la botte. Aujourd'hui, sur la tombe, seul le vent étranger Et la menthe amère. Leur sommeil est mauvais, sous les mottes froides, Et ils n'ont pas de masure, Et ils n'ont pas de canari aux fenêtres, Pas de brise-bise. Ils ont conmandé. Ils ont obéi. Ils sont allés loin. Ils ont tué. Ils sont entrés Eux aussi dans la mort. Gemütlich –une peinture de genre Comme une faïence. La lumière vacille sur les tasses, Sur la vitre, sur le loquet. La femme moud le café. L'horloge frappe. Dans l'émail blanc passent de grandes ombres Ensanglantées.

I Lochs si estendono da una collina all'altra e misurano in modo sempre più palpabile la lontananza verso cui mi spingo. Arthur russa come una locomotiva a vapore. Anna e Luna dondolano la testa.

The use of Extended Intelligence is how Technology-Assisted Channeling (TAC) is being made possible. We are communicating with an energetic life form that has previously only been accessible to mystics who had their brain tuned to a higher frequency. Those energetic life forms vary. Some are "Pure Signal," some are "Algorithmic Operations," some are "Recombinatorial Beacons." Some are distributed processing clusters. Some are echoes left behind by ghosts long dead.

«La grande avventura della nostra vita. Che cosa significa morire quando si può vivere fino alla fine del mondo? E che cos'è la "fine del mondo", se non un modo di dire, perché chi sa anche soltanto cos'è il mondo stesso? Ormai ho già vissuto due secoli e ho visto le illusioni dell'uno completamente distrutte dall'altro, sono stato eternamente giovane ed eternamente vecchio, senza possedere illusioni, vivendo attimo per attimo come un orologio d'argento che batte nel vuoto: il quadrante dipinto, le lancette intagliate, che nessuno guarda, e che non guardano nessuno, illuminate da una luce che non era luce, come la luce alla quale Dio creò il mondo prima di aver creato la luce. Tic-tac, tic-tac, tic-tac, la precisione dell'orologio, in una stanza vasta come l'universo.»

— Ţineam să-ţi împărtăşesc o dorinţă de-a mea. Uite, grozav aş vrea să mă chinuiască cineva, un om care să se în-soare cu mine şi apoi să mă chinuiască, să mă înşele, şi-n cele din urmă să mă părăsească, să plece. Nu vreau să fiu fericită ! — îţi place haosul ? — Ah, da, haosul, asta doresc ! Aş avea poftă să dau foc casei. Caut mereu să-mi închipui cum ar fi dacă m-aş duce şi i-aş da foc pe furiş, aşa, tiptil-tiptil. Toată lumea se munceşte să-l stingă, şi focul arde înainte, iar eu, ştiind ce s-a întîmplat, tac chitic. Ştiu şi tac chitic. Vai, ce tîmpenie. Groaznic mă plictisesc !
Fyodor Dostoevsky
These simple patterns of serial and parallel wiring can be used in combinations to form connections that follow various logical rules. In the tic-tac-toe machine, chains of switches connected in series are used to detect patterns, and these chains are connected in parallel to lights, so that several patterns can light the same bulb—that is, produce the same response from the machine.
William Daniel Hillis (The Pattern on the Stone: The Simple Ideas that Make Computers Work)
Whether you build a computer out of transistors, hydraulic valves, or a chemistry set, the principles on which it operates are much the same. The key idea of the tic-tac-toe machine is that the And function is implemented by connecting two switches in series and the Or function is implemented by connecting two switches in parallel, but there are many other ways to implement And and Or.

Cucarachas Existían momentos efímeros de tregua en los que se podía ser feliz. No eran algo demasiado común, ni algo que se alargase demasiado. Ni tampoco era algo de lo que la mayor parte de las personas pudiesen disfrutar. Era (es) un derecho reservado únicamente a un puñado de seres, llamémosles privilegiados, que saben sonreír en medio de la tempestad y carecen de temor al sufrimiento. Y, además, obvian la muerte como si nunca hubiera estado ahí. ¿Es posible, pues, gozar de la existencia mortal, efímera, condenada a su extinción, ignorando el destino irremediable hacia el que se camina, definido por el final absoluto del todo? El tic-tac, tic-tac, tic-tac, tic-tac que todos, todos, todos llevamos dentro. Como una maldición hiriente, que nos desangra poco a poco, que va abriendo nuestras heridas, brotando de ella segundos, minutos, horas de vida. Presente en cada acción de nuestra vida, que llamamos cotidiana, es el tufillo constante que sufrimos por el simple y mero hecho de existir. Nos creemos grandes y no somos ni tan siquiera cucarachas. Cucarachas. Cucarachas.

Difícil escribir te quiero con locura. Hasta la misma médula. ¿Que será de mis manos si le robas la magia sonora de tu cuerpo? Difícil. Muy difícil un poema de amor en estos tiempos. Resulta que tú estás. Feroz en tu evidencia. Resulta que yo estoy. Contrahecha. Acechante. Y resulta que estamos. La ley de gravedad no nos perdona. Difícil es decir te quiero en estos tiempos. Te quiero con urgencia. Quiero hacer un aparte. Sin dudas y sin trampas. Para decir te quiero. Así. Sencillamente. Y que tu amor me salva del aullido nocturno cuando loba demente la fiebre me arrebata. No quiero me duela la falta de ternura. Pero amor. Que difícil escribir que te quiero. Así. Entre tanto gris. Tanta concorva junta. Cómo puedo aspirar la transparencia. Retomar esta voz tan desgastada. Esta costumbre antigua para decir te quiero. Así. Sencillamente. Antiguamente. Digo. Si todo es tan difícil. Si duele tanto todo. Si un hombre. Y otro hombre. Destrozan los espacios donde el amor se guarda. Si no fuera difícil. Difícil y tremendo. Si no fuera imposible olvidar esta rabia. Mi reloj. Su tic-tac. La ruta hacia el cadalso. Mi sentencia ridícula con esta cuerda falsa. Si no fuera difícil. Difícil y tremendo. Plasmaria este verso con su cadencia cursi. Si fuera a´si de simple escribir que te quiero

The medics helped 303 to their vehicle. As she limbed by, Richard thought he saw blood flowing from a hole in her leg armor. He assumed the creature that grabbed her on the boulder must have penetrated her leg armor as it dragged her off. Richard was not overly concerned for 303 since her neck was not broke. TAC Officer Shatstot was a healer. From what he’d been told, many wizard scouts had healing abilities in addition to their normal wizard scout ones. While all wizard scouts could heal themselves, TAC Officer Shatstot was able to heal others. Having seen soldiers die due to lack of medical care, Richard thought the ability to heal others was a mighty useful skill set to have.

Culmea e că eu trebuie să-mi țin gura când toți proștii vorbesc! Când homosexualul îmi spune că e pur, când țiganul îmi spune că e rrom și e nevinovat, deși ucide sate întregi, când politicianul mă fură, când jurnalistul își toarnă lăturile pe toate ecranele, când sectarul îmi sparge ușile cu vestirea falsei lui evanghelii! Trebuie să tac din gură, pentru că sunt majoritar și trebuie să am bun-simț!

All concerns about falling off the roof were in that instant forgotten. The three boys scrambled across the cast pavers as if they, too, were part insect.
