Tok Quotes

I'm not myself," she offered, guiltily. She softened around Tik Tok, and when she did she was, for those rare moments, girlish. He smiled. "You can never say that. You're just a piece of yourself right now that you don't like.

Everyone will think I'm ugly." Tik Tok smiled. "That's true. But we are a small village. We have narrow tastes. There's no telling who else in the world would think you're beautiful.

Did you know I always thought you were braver than me? Did you ever guess that that was why I was so afraid? It wasn't that I only loved some of you. But I wondered if you could ever love more than some of me. I knew I'd miss you. But the surprising thing is, you never leave me. I never forget a thing. Every kind of love, it seems, is the only one. It doesn't happen twice. And I never expected that you could have a broken heart and love with it too, so much that it doesn't seem broken at all. I know young people look at me and think my youth seems so far away, but it's all around me, and you're all around me. Tiger Lily, do you think magic exists if it can be explained? I can explain why I loved you, I can explain the theory of evolution that tells me why mermaids live in Neverland and nowhere else. But it still feels magic. The lost boys all stood at our wedding. Does it seem odd to you that they could have stood at a wedding that wasn't yours and mine? It does to me. and I'm sorry for it, and for a lot, and I also wouldn't change it. It is so quiet here. Even with all the trains and the streets and the people. It's nothing like the jungle. The boys have grown. Everything has grown. Do you think you will ever grow? I hope not. I like to think that even if I change and fade away, some other people won't. I like to think that one day after I die, at least one small particle of me - of all the particles that will spread everywhere - will float all the way to Neverland, and be part of a flower or something like that, like that poet said, the one that your Tik Tok loved. I like to think that nothing's final, and that everyone gets to be together even when it looks like they don't, that it all works out even when all the evidence seems to say something else, that you and I are always young in the woods, and that I'll see you sometime again, even if it's not with any kind of eyes I know of or understand. I wouldn't be surprised if that is the way things go after all - that all things end happy. Even for you and Tik Tok. and for you and me. Always, Your Peter P.S. Please give my love to Tink. She was always such a funny little bug.

But Tik Tok believes everything's circular, including men and women. He says nature seems to go around and around, and that we all have bits of everything.

For the next couple of weeks she held Peter like a secret in her heart, lying right under her necklace. I could see him written on her face, and Tik Tok, too, seemed to catch shadows of him, because he'd stop to stare at her, puzzled, as if he'd just seen the boy flit across her eyes-seen the ghost of the kiss lingering for a second on the skin of her neck before disappearing.

People say I'm not much of a girl either," Tiger Lily said. She thought of Tik Tok, who was fond of saying that people were all bits of each thing, boy and girl.

One can be ugly in looks, but lovely in disposition.

I would have liked Allie better if she were a shy, bookish type I could have taken on shopping sprees at indie bookstores instead of an iPhone-addicted, TikTok-obsessed basic bitch in training.

You never could tell when someone would stop growing old in Neverland. For Tik Tok, it had been after wrinkles had walked long deep tracks across his face, but for many people, it was much younger. Some people said it occurred when the most important thing that would ever happen to you triggered something inside that stopped you from moving forward.

If we didn't want anything, we would never get anything, good or bad. I think our longings are natural, and if we act as nature prompts us we can't go far wrong.

Nduk, sekolah nang SMP iku mesti. Koen kudu sekolah. Uripmu cek gak soro koyok aku, Nduk! Aku gak lulus SD. Gak iso opo-opo. Aku mek iso masak tok. Ojo koyok aku yo Nduk! Cukup aku ae sing gak sekolah...," kata Ibuk.

I'm not myself,' she offered, guilty. She softened around Tik Tok, and when she did she was, for those rare moments, girlish. He smiled. 'You can never say that. You're just a piece of yourself right now that you don't like.

Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate. Viešoji nuomonė - ne toks baisus tironas kaip savoji. Tai, ką žmogus galvoja apie save, kaip tik ir lemia arba greičiau rodo jo likimą.

Toks jau lietuvių būdas: kai du vaidijasi, nors užsimuštinai mušasi, trečias bėga šalin, kad jam iš abiejų nekliūtų arba, vienam negyvam likus, kad liudytoju nereiktų būti.

Koks žmogus, toks ir jo televizorius.

The video would probably go viral on GodTok or whatever they were using on Mount Olympus these days.

Mes taip atpratom nuo spalvingų žmonių,kad sutikę daugialypę asmenybę ,visiškai sutrinkam. Mūsų gyvenimas toks monotoniškas, o žmonės tokie banalūs, kad visai pamiršom pasaulio įvairovę. Mes taip įpratom prie vienareikšmių personažų,kad,sutikę kitokį,nebežinom nei kaip elgtis,nei ką galvoti.

Being rejected is not the end of your life, it's a means to an end for your life. And that end is your destiny.

Gyvenimą pradedi auksinėmis svajonėmis apie bekraščius miškus, o pabaigoje džiaugiesi vienui vienu medžiu. Toks ir yra kiekvienos gyvos būtybės tikslas - iškirsti svajones.

To the girls with softer dreams – your purpose is just as powerful!

It is the same in life; the heart changes, and that is our worst misfortune; but we learn of it only from reading or by imagination; for in reality its alteration, like that of certain natural phenomena, is so gradual that, even if we are able to distinguish, successively, each of its different states, we are still spared the actual sensation of change. Lygiai taip gyvenime keičiasi ir mūsų širdis, ir tai skaudžiausia; tačiau patiriame tą skausmą tik skaitydami knygas, vaizduotėje; tikrovėje jos keitimasis, kaip ir kai kurių gamtos reiškinių vyksmas yra toks lėtas, kad nors ir galime konstatuoti kiekvieną atskirą būseną, paties keitimosi pajusti nepajėgiame.

Namo ėjau pėsčias , žiūrėdamas, galvodamas. Aš stebėjausi savimi, kaip aš toks vienas galėjau išaugti, kad man visų šitų žmonių ir viso šito gyvenimo nereikia. Tačiau kartu taip skaudžiai ilgėjausi žmogaus. Nedaug - tik vieno, vieno vienintelio man užtektų.

Colton picked up a glass of cider and tok a sip. "We're not a couple, Olivia and I, so if you want to flirt with me, it's all right." He was teasing, but there was also truth mixed into this game. Perhaps more than he knew, and I felt as though everything inside of me was stretched tight. I didn't want to face him, so I kept my gaze centered out on the dance floor. "I see. Should I bat my eyelashes or were you thinking along the lines of pointless small talk?" "Actually, I like the way you keep looking at me." "I don't keep looking at you." "Yes, you do." I didn't look at him, just to prove the point.

Toks jau tas skausmas, - tarė Ogastas, grįžtelėdamas į mane. - Jį tereikia iškentėti.

Kur shkruani një gjë, këndojeni dhe ndreqeni shumë herë që të bjerë në vesh çdo tok gërmash si një copë muzike.

Nowadays it’s all TikTok and stepsister porn. I don’t get it. Let’s read on.

Pasaulis niekada neatrodo toks gražus, kaip tą akimirką, kaii jį paliekame, kai jums atima laisvę

This has been an afternoon of romantic omens, gentle on the heart, but why me? Love never happens to me. Everything else, but not love. Does Arnold play drums? Guess I never asked. I’ve been terribly insensitive this last year. I haven’t even checked to see if he has a TikTok account.

Otuz altı saattir gene açım. Ölümü bekliyorum. Bu arada vaktimi boş geçirmemek için, okuyorum, yabancı dil çalışıyorum; hiçbir şey anlamıyorum. Fakat eskiden de -karnımın tok olduğu zaman da- anlamıyordum.

Now there are days when she is content, and days when she’s restless. But there is never a day when she doesn’t see Peter everywhere. Things hurt, and don’t hurt, and hurt again. Eighty years later, and she can still feel surprised that he’s gone. And then so much of the time, she’s glad. But just as she looks for Tik Tok in everything around her, she looks for Peter in the woods, out gathering, in the lagoon, in the burrow that is now abandoned. She goes up on the cliffs from time to time and stands there for hours, continuing her long good-bye. It’s not for lack of loyalty to her husband. It is just that she was fifteen once for the first time, and Peter walked across her heart, and left his footprints there.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ruggedo melted Tik-Tok in one of his furnaces and made copper pennies of him." "In that case, I would still keep going," remarked Tik-Tok, calmly. "Pennies do," said Betsy regretfully.

I came only to report the news, to gather information. I didn't come to find out the truth.

Aš dažnai norėdavau pravirkti išvydęs žydinčią gėlę; mėnulio žaidimą vandenyje; šviesius plaukus, juos taršė pavasarinis vėjas; norėdavau pravirkti išvydęs zvimbiančią musę. Nevalia. Mano smegenų centrinėje sėdi rūstus klerkas. Jis rūšiuoja mintis ir jausmus. Keturiasdešimt metų sėdi klerkas toje pačioje kėdėje. Štai kodėl jis toks pedantiškas ir nepermaldaujamas. Ne, ponas, tamstai nevalia būti sentimentaliu! Šalin šiuos popierėlius, čerkšt, čerkšt, ir į dėžę. Jie priklauso valytojai. Jis logiškas, rūstusis klerkas. Jei jo nepaklausyčiau - pralaimėčiau. Kaip Dante dangų, kaip Dostojevskis verkšlenančius personažus.

One morning at home, Tik Tok had Tiger Lily try on her wedding dress. He seemed disappointed that it fit so well. Despite their expectations, it became her. Its simplicity and sleekness were subtle enough to highlight her strong, high cheeks, the shine in her hair. It was a dress made by someone who knew her. It was her freedom and her silence sewn into a dress. She hated what it meant. But she loved the dress because it was from Tik Tok's hands and because it made her feel like herself. She took it off.

Prisimeni kosminį dėsnį? Toks tokį traukia. Tiesiog būk koks esi: ramus, šviesus ir giedras. Kai leidžiame sušvisti visai savo esybei, kai kiekvieną minutę klausiame savęs, ar iš tikro norime taip elgtis ir darome tai tik atsakę sau "Taip", tuomet savaime atstumiame nuo savęs tuos, kurie nieko iš mūsų negali išmokti, ir pritraukiame ne tik gebančius mokytis iš mūsų, bet ir tuos, iš kurių patys turime ką perimti.

- <...> Žmogus nesi jau toks svarbus. - Nesvarbus? - Švarcas vėl pakėlė sutrikusį veidą. - Nesvarbus? Žinoma, ne! Bet malonėkite pasakyti man, kas gi tuomet svarbu, jeigu gyvenimas nebesvarbus? - Niekas, - atsakiau žinodamas, kad tai ir teisybė, ir ne. - Tiktai mes patys suteikiame viskam vertę.

Kad šis dusnus žmonių tvaikulys aštuoniolika metų slėgė jį lyg prieš audrą pritvinkęs oras, Grenujui paaiškėjo tik dabar, kai pradėjo pamažu iš jo trauktis. Iki šiol jis manė, kad visas pasaulis toks ir kad reikia apskritai jo šalintis. Dabar jam atrodė, kad su pasauliu, pasauliu be žmonių, visai įmanoma sugyventi.

Ducks are the stars of the karaoke bird world. You’d think it would be songbirds or parrots (or boobies, because who doesn’t like to see those on stage?), but nope, they all quit going down to the corner bar to try to impress the locals with their vocals, and they joined TikTok so they could dance their way to fame.

Gyvenimas toks didelis ir baisus, ir šaltas ir dažnai nepermaldaujamas, nors ir puikus. O mes eisime drauge, Zosyt, ir kai panorėsime, dangus bus žemai ir jūra sekli, o kai panorėsime stebėsime mažas poleles arba smulkias žuveles, zvimbančius mašalėlius, ir visur, kai tik panorėsime, didelė šviesi laimė bus su mumis.

The clock is walking, i can hear his boots tik tok tik tok tikking, it's too dark i can't see but i am hearing sound of real boots too and it feels like billions of people are following him. I am so scared, i don't know why i am writing this but i am telling the truth, i am feeling like all of them are going somewhere, far far away from me.

Summer #28: 2020 What are we talking about in 2020? Kobe Bryant, Covid-19, social distancing, Zoom, TikTok, Navarro cheerleading, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor, and… The presidential election. A country divided. Opinions on both sides. It’s everywhere: on the news, on the late-night shows, in the papers, online, online, online,

One would think, to look at him, that he ought to be jolly; one might think, considering his enormous wealth, that he ought to be happy; but this was not the case.

I’ve made him smile.

Jie man sakė, kad turiu rasti savyje ryžto ir jėgų nebūti vidutinybė (toks yra neišpildomas troškimo paketas, kurį pardavinėja nykios apsnigtos vidurinės mokyklos)<...>

Allerede før Tryggve Gran hadde landet på Jæren, tok kongen opp spørsmålet om å sikre landets korntilførsel.

I skumringen kom mannen hennes tilbake fra heiene. Det var en mager kjempe som tok ett skritt der andre dødelige trengte tre.

Darah Tok Janggut yang pernah tumpah maungnya mercik sepanjang sejarah.

Grožis - tai toks trūkumas, kuris be jokių pastangų, natūraliai praeina su amžiumi.

Jeigu imame vertinti akimirką kaip dabarties duotybę, o ne perspektyvą, tada ir žmogus tampa vertingas toks, koks jis yra, o ne koks bus, kai išauginsime.

Rėjaus maldelė: "...... (vardas) toks pats tuščias, toks pat mylimas, toks pat būsimas Buda.

I know I can be stubborn about technology. I hate the name. I hate the clear intention to shrink our attention span even more. But I do it. I go on fucking TikTok.

Šitas pasaulis tėra liūdnas balaganas. Ir neklausk, kokia jo prasmė, nes tai toks balaganas, kuriame neįmanoma rasti kokią nors prasmę.

Så rusla vi hjemover. Snakka om alt vi skulle gjøre. Om The Snafus. Om hvor berømte vi skulle bli. Om sommeren, enda vinteren bare såvidt hadde begynt, om alle somrene i våre liv. Vi snakka om når vi skulle begynne på gymnaset og om når vi blei ferdige med skolen for godt. Vi blei svære i kjeften og vakre fugler fløy ut av ansiktene våre. Vi tok framtida på forskudd og den så sabla bra ut.

To-tre dager senere mottok frøken Marple et brev med ettermiddagsposten. Hun tok det opp, og som vanlig snudde hun det, kikket på poststempelet og håndskriften, kom til at det ikke var en regning og åpnet konvolutten.

Po ketvirčio valandos intymaus bendravimo dviejų žmonių, kurie jaučia ne meilę, o tik trauką kits kitam, atsiranda toks pasitikėjimas, toks lengvas bendravimas, toks švelnus dėmesys, kokių kartais nesitikėk nė po dešimties labai tvirtos draugystės metų.

Men siden året 1635, da Milano-provinsen ble underlagt spanjolene, disse tause, mistenksomme, hovmodige herrer som alltid fryktet opprør, hadde livsgleden vært borte. Folk tok etter herskernes livsform og var mer opptatt av å hevne den minste fornærmelse med et dolkestøt, enn å nyte livet.

Vinden hadde stilnet, og nå, mens luften tyknet og et kobberskarpt lyn fortengte den milde duften av eukalyptus og akasie, mintes hun de første årene av sitt ekteskap. Fortiden tok henne igjen, visket ut nåtiden, og ble så livaktig at det var som om de mellomliggende årene aldri hadde eksistert.

My life on Facebook is different from what's on Twitter and that of TikTok is different from what's on Instagram. LinkedIn is another world entirely but my life on WhatsApp is what reflect my true self, so please don't judge me too quick if you are not on my WhatsApp status cause nothing is hidden there.

Kişinin kafası ve kalbi boşsa, karnı tok olmuş, neye yarar ! Bugün öğrendiklerimi hep aklımda tutacak, aldığım dersi hiç unutmayacak, halkımı bu sıkıntılardan kurtaracağım. Ne de olsa insanın kalbini yumuşatan da, içine iyilik ve cömertlik aşılayan da bilgi değil mi ?" / Çalınan Taç / The Prince and the Pauper

Mladost je slepa, kljubovalna zver, ki je lačna, a ne je, ker se sramuje jesti; ki ji ni treba drugega, kakor da namigne vedno naklonjeni ji sreči, ko gre mimo po cesti, naj se ustavi, a ji ne namigne; ki pušča, da tok časa brez haska odteče mimo nje, kakor da bi bil voda - taka zver, ki ne ve, da je zver, je mladost.

Kai gimė vaikai ir Luisas jautėsi toks kone absurdiškai laimingas, kad tragedija regėjosi tiesiog neišvengiama, jis žaisdavo mintyse tokį žaidimą. Gulėdavo lovoje ir prisiversdavo pasirinkti, ko pirmiausia sutiktų netekti: santuokos, darbo, kurio nors vaiko. Jam buvo įdomu, kiek žmogus galėtų pakelti, kol virstų nuliu.

Og all min handlende utagering hjalp like lite som ordene hadde gjort. De var mange og jeg var en og de tok meg med inn på isolatet og låste døra til glattcella. Jeg satt der alene hele dagen. En madrass, fire hvite vegger, ett grønnmalt betonggulv. Og meg, en appelsinmartyr, fengslet for appelsinens rett til å være en sitrusfrukt.

Yoksulluğunu hep unuturdu. Sanki karnı hep tok, parası, işi gücü varmış gibi yaşardı. Pek söz etmedi denebilir yoksulluğundan. Bir defasında yoksulluğunun üstüne basa basa; onu görmüyormuş gibi konuştu:'Ben zenginim' dedi. Öyleydi, elbet. Bu giderek bir onur oldu onun için. Yeryüzündeki yerine öyle baktı. Haklı da çıktı. -İlhan Berk'ten ECE AYHAN

Galima pasiekti visišką laimės būseną prisigėrus degtinės. Šuolis į laimę. Žinau, nes bandžiau. Kiti rekomenduojami metodai, kuriuos bandžiau, tikros laimės nesuteikdavo, nebent pasijusdavau ne toks nelaimingas kaip paprastai. Žmogus sėdi ant lietuviškos kėdės ir jaučiasi nelaimingas. Jis nutaria, kad kėdė kalta. Jeigu sėdėtų ant amerikietiškos kėdės, būtų laimingas. Sunkiai dirba, taupo ir nusiperka amerikietišką kėdę. Atsisėda ant jos ir laukia, kada užplūs palaima. Neužplūsta. Vis tiek nelaimingas. Kėdėje laimės nėra. Išorėje nėra. Laimė - tai nepaprastas dalykas: labai sunku ją rasti savy ir visai neįmanoma - kitur, - sakė Nikola Sebastjenas de Šamforas. Degtinė, kol yra butelyje, jokios laimės neteikia. Atsidūrusi žmogaus viduje, savy, ji paskleidžia palaimą po visą kūną ir sielą. Degtinė yra paprasčiausia ir geriausia priemonė gyvenimo tikslui pasiekti. Deja. Gerti viešose vietose draudžiama. Laimingam būti reikia pasislėpus, tarsi laimė būtų kas nors nepadoru. Štai iki ko nusirito pasaulis. Laimingam būti draudžiama. Dieve brangus!

Vis dėlto stebėti debesis ir bangas buvo kur kas maloniau nei žmones. Su nuostaba pamačiau, kad žmogus nuo gamtos skiriasi daugiausia tais slidžiais melo drebučiais, jį supančiais ir saugančiais. Greitai įsitikinau, kad visiems mano pažįstamiems būdingas tas pats bruožas, tas aplinkybių diktatas, kai kiekvienas iš jų turi vaizduoti tam tikrą asmenybę, ryškią figūrą, o nė vienas iš jų nepripažįsta pats savęs. Keistai pasijutau, pamatęs, kad ir aš pats esu toks, ir nustojau ieškojęs asmenybės esmės. Daugeliui tie drebučiai buvo svarbiau už viską. Aš tai mačiau visur, net ir vaikai, sąmoningai ar nesąmoningai, vaidino kokį nors vaidmenį, užuot instinktyviai ir nesislapstydami atskleidę patys save.

Atticus yanılıyor olmalısın..." "Nasıl?" "Pek çok kişi kendilerinin haklı olduğunu, senin yanıldığını düşünüyor." "Tabii bunu düşünmeye hakları var, düşüncelerine saygı gösterilmesini istemekte de haklılar," dedi Atticus, "ama başka insanların yüzüne bakabilmek için ilk önce kendi yüzüme bakabilmeliyim. Çoğunluğa bağlı olmayan tek şey insanın vicdanıdır.

we didn't want anything, we would never get anything, good or bad. I think our longings are natural, and if we act as nature prompts us we can't go far wrong.

I never mean to be a bitch, but sometimes the thorns inside me squeeze too tightly and horrible things burst from my lips.

Ağlıyorum ayaklarım büyük, sesim hırıltılı, tok, babam gibi. Kupkuru bir öksürükle dikiliyorum heybetli, kırk beş numara ayaklarımla upuzun. Babam demir kokuyor. Pas pas, ışıl ışıl... Ağzında düdük, başında şapkası demir kokuyor babam. Buram buram ter gibi ağır, isli duman gibi üste sinen, toz gibi yapışan, burna dolan kurum gibi devletin demiri kokuyor babam.

I like to think that one day after I die, at least one small particle of me - of all the particles that will spread everywhere - will float all the way to Neverland, and be part of a flower or something like that, like that poet said, the one that your Tik Tok loved. I like to think that nothing's final, and that everyone gets to be together even when it looks like they don't, that it all works out even when all the evidence seems to say something else, that you and I are always young in the woods, and that I'll see you sometime again, even if it's not with any kind of eyes I know of or understand. I wouldn't be surprised if that is the way things go after all - that all things end happy. Even for you and Tik Tok. And for you and me.

As legendary Chinese technology entrepreneur Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun judged, reflecting on lessons from his long career, “Seizing the opportune moment exceeds far, far beyond any other tactics.

Ir apima toks alyvinis, permatomas graudumas, jis dar labai lengvas, dar neslegia širdies, tik apgaubia kaip rytmečio rūkas, kaip vidurdienio debesėlis, - ir tau jame taip gera būti, graudintis ir gailėtis kažko. Tačiau tas pirmą kartą pajaustas graudulys ar gailestis taip greit nepraeina, pasidaro lyg kokia pastovi būsena, lyg įstato tau kitas akis, ir pradedi matyti, ko anksčiau nematei: žiede, medyje, peizaže...

Mes norime, kad visa tai, kas mums patinka, niekada nesibaigtų ir mums brangūs žmonės niekada nemirtų. Bet nesuprantame, kad iš tikrųjų išsaugome tai, ką mylime, tik tuomet, kai iš mūsų tai atimama, ir atimama netikėtai, negailestingai ir negrįžtamai. Tada tas, kuris atimtas, daugiau nebesikeičia ir visada mums lieka toks, kokį mylėjome. Tai, ką turime, ilgainiui praranda šviežumą ir aromatą, įkyri, varo nuobodulį, vargina ir netgi erzina. O kiek tokių, be kurių neįsivaizduojame savo gyvenimo, dingo iš horizonto, kiek nutraukė su mumis santykius, su kiek žmonių mes patys liovėmės bendrauti, kartais net be jokios akivaizdžios priežasties? Vieninteliai, kurie visada pasilieka su mumis, kurie niekada nepaveda ir neišduoda – tai tie, kuriuos iš mūsų kas nors atėmė. Vieninteliai, su kuriais niekada neišsiskiriame – tai tie, kurie mus paliko prieš mūsų valią. Jie mus paliko kai to visai nesitikėjome, todėl nesuspėjo mūsų nuvilti arba nustoti patikti, jų netekę mes puolame į neviltį, nes esame įsitikinę: su jais būtume galėję būti kartu dar labai ilgai, galbūt net visada. Tai – nesusipratimas, nors jį galima paaiškinti. Jeigu jie būtų su mumis pasilikę ilgiau, viskas būtų galėję pasikeisti. Tai, kas mums atrodė laimė, rytoj galėtų virsti kančia. „

V blunket et par ganger, kjente seg beklemt over det han skulle til å si. “Du er en helgen, vet du det? Du har bestandig vert det for meg. Bestandig. Selv da jeg…” “Selv da du hva da?” “Du vet.” “Hva?” “Helvette. Selv da jeg var forelsket i deg. Eller hva faen.” Butch tok seg til hjertet. “Var? Var? Jeg kan ikke tro at det er slutt.” Han dekket over øynene med den ene armen á la Sarah Bernhardt. “Mine fremtids drømmer er knust!

Jaunas žmogus kenčia supratęs, kad gyvenimas ne toks, kokį įsivaizdavo. Jei nori, kad sektųsi, turi dantim ir nagais kabintis tik savo naudos, nes niekas kitas tavo nauda nepasirūpins. Bet tie, kuriems sekasi, žaloja sielą, todėl reikėtų rast nuosaikų vidurio kelią - kad turėtum sėkmę, bet ir be žalos sielai. Nebūti blogiausiam iš blogųjų, doriausiam iš dorųjų, pervirš išdidžiam tarp išdidėlių ir pernelyg nuolankiam tarp nuolankiųjų.

Zar pitoma kućna ptica da bude Orao, koji Nekad je pandže Vihoru bjesnom u leđa zarivô I jahao na njem - Pobjednik njegov? Zar vatreni mladić Da građanin bude, Što, miran i mlitav, ramenima sliježe I klima glavom U spavaćoj kapi? Ne može mene Napustiti žar, Plemenit gnjev moj. Presahnuo nije U mojemu srcu Divlji i bučni planinski potok, A bome i ne će. Mirniji samo Posta mu tok, Jer poljima ravnim Vodi ga put - Sadašnjost to je Bez brijega i dola. Al tu je budućnost! Divljih je stijena I ponora puna!

Utålmodig tørket hun av støvet med lommetørkleet. Så høyt hun enn elsket dette landet, var likevel australierne de mest irriterende menneskene hun noensinne hadde hatt med å gjøre. Deres familiære og likeglade oppførsel kunne ta knekken på en helgens tålmodighet, og selv om hun gjerne innrømmet at noen helgen var hun så visst ikke, skulle hun ønske de tok seg litt sammen. En porsjon med kostskole og engelsk vinter i et trekkfullt herskapshus ville nok få skikk på dem - slik det hadde fått skikk på henne.

Nails and nuggets!" roared the King; "how dare you bring that beast here and enter my presence unannounced?" "There wasn't anybody to announce me," replied Betsy. "I guess your folks were all busy. Are you conquered yet?" "No!" shouted the King, almost beside himself with rage.

Žvelgiu į jį, į savo pirmąjį agentą, užverbuotą užsienyje. Savo puikios šalies saugumą jis parduoda už trisdešimt sidabrinių. Man tai visai nepatinka. Aš tai darau todėl, kad neturiu kitos išeities. Toks likimas. jei ne čia, tai kitoje vietoje sistema man rastų žiaurų darbą. jei atsisakysiu, sistema mane praris. Nesu lasivas žmogus. Bet tu, šunsnuki, laisva valia veržiesi mums padėti. Jei būtum pasipainiojęs man tuomet, kai buvau Specnaze, aš tau, šliuže, dantis dilde būčiau nudildęs. Staiga prisimenu, kad agentams reikia šypsotis. Ir aš jam šypsausi.

Challenges also helped combat the final most difficult barrier of all—motivation. There was a sense of immediacy. Users either chose to participate in the fun challenge while it was trending today or risk missing out. Participation also gave people a sense of being part of a wider community.

Han var en dreven kjender av utenlandsk liv og herlighet, og i sin smak for dyr praktutfoldelse hadde han reivet på sig et blodrødt sjal til belte om livet. Det var intet mindre end høiste mote i Sydamerika, forklarte han. Hvad du tror de sier når vi kommer? spurte han Edevart. Da de nærmet sig grænden forlangte han at de skulde puste på for ikke at komme utaset frem. Han tok op av lommen en cigar til hver, kjøpt i Bodø til bruk netop ved dette høve, og han advaret Edevart mot å røke for stærkt på den og øde den før tiden. Men når vi går forbi Karolus sin stue så skal du dampe storveies! sa han.

Every Saturday I would go to the library and choose my books for the week. One late-autumn morning, despite menacing clouds, I bundled up and walked as always, past the peach orchards, the pig farm and the skating rink to the fork in the road that led to our sole library. The sight of so many books never failed to excite me, rows and rows of books with multicolored spines. I’d spent an inordinate amount of time choosing my stack of books that day, with the sky growing more ominous. At first, I wasn’t worried as I had long legs and was a pretty fast walker, but then it became apparent that there was no way I was going to beat the impending storm. It grew colder, the winds picked up, followed by heavy rains, then pelting hail. I slid the books under my coat to protect them, I had a long way to go; I stepped in puddles and could feel the icy water permeate my ankle socks. When I finally reached home my mother shook her head with sympathetic exasperation, prepared a hot bath and made me go to bed. I came down with bronchitis and missed several days of school. But it had been worth it, for I had my books, among them The Tik-Tok Man of Oz, Half Magic and The Dog of Flanders. Wonderful books that I read over and over, only accessible to me through our library.

Ar jūs pastebėjot, kad mes gyvename tokiais laikais, kada žmogus pats save draskai? Kad daug ko, ką galėtume padaryti, vis dėlto nedarome, patys nežinodami kodėl? Darbas šiais laikais pasidarė toks baisiai svarbus dalykas, kad jis viską nustelbia, nes taip daug žmonių jo neturi. Kaip gražu čia! Jau keletą metų to nemačiau. Turiu du automobilius, dešimties kambarių butą ir pakankamai pinigų - o kas iš to? Ką tai reiškia, palyginus su vasaros rytu gamtos prieglobsty! Darbas - niūri manija. Jis visada dirbamas su iliuzija, kad ilgainiui visa pasikeis. Niekad niekas nepasikeis. Tiesiog juokinga matant, ką žmonės daro iš savo gyvenimo

Active methods (subscription and search) are better for larger screen devices often used for serious work or study, where session times tend to be longer, and keyboards allow for accurate and fast input. Passive methods of content distribution are, in general, more suitable for the fragmented time and small screens of smartphones.

bilirim yarın diye bir şey var çeliğin su katılmamış yanı ırmakların geçilecek, fırtınaların dinecek bir yanı var ömrümüzün belki bir gün gülecek. selam verip selam alacak barışa kardeşliğe hep tok yatan çocuklar görecek el ele aşklar, omuz omuza dostluklar ne dikenli teller olacak ne tanklar tüfekler ne tüberküloz kalacak ne lösemi ne işsizlik ne banka ne borsa süt gibi duru ve ak ekmek gibi sıcak bizim de bizim de günlerimiz olacak. güle değecek kuşların kanadı ve kuşlar sırtlarında gül taşıyacak kardeşlerim koşar adım moraran beyazla zincirlerimizle yaralarımızla ırmakların geçilecek, fırtınaların dinecek bir yanı var ömrümüzün belki bir gün gülecek.

The Tull-Toks claim that everything in the universe can be read. Each star is a living text, where the massive convection currents of superheated gas tell an epic drama, with the starspots serving as punctuation, the coronal loops extended figures of speech, and the flares emphatic passages that ring true in the deep silence of cold space. Each planet contains a poem, written out in the bleak, jagged, staccato rhythm of bare rocky cores or the lyrical, lingering, rich rhymes—both masculine and feminine—of swirling gas giants. And then there are the planets with life, constructed like intricate jeweled clockwork, containing a multitude of self-referential literary devices that echo and re-echo without end.

Det var bare en bit som ennå ikke hadde funnet sitt puslespill. Nei, det var et puslespill som ikke hadde funnet sine biter. Det var bare skyen som ikke hadde funnet sin himmel. Jeg trodde jeg skulle bli et helere menneske ved å fylle ut tomrommene i meg. Det omvendte var tilfelle. Jo mer jeg fylte på, desto tommere ble jeg, alt jeg tok inn hulte meg ut, og alt jeg kastet opp tynget meg mer og mer. Enda en gang visste jeg: Det er for mye innhold i verden. Verden trekker deg ned. Det er ikke plass i et menneske, i et enkelt menneske, til alt dette. Jeg lengtet etter overflater. Jeg lengtet etter en eske som jeg kunne legge alt i. Men verden er som sagt påtrengende og ublu. Verden gir seg ikke med det første.

Čustva so energetski tokovi z različnimi frekvencami. Čustva, o katerih mislimo, da so negativna- sovraštvo, zavist, prezir, strah -, imajo nižjo frekvenco in manj energije kot čustva, o katerih mislimo kot o pozitivnih - to so naklonjenost, radost, ljubezen in sočutje. Ko se odločite, da boste zamenjali energetski tok z nižjo frekvenco (npr. jezo)) s tokom z višjo frekvenco (odpuščanje), dvignete frekvenco svoje Luči. Ko se odločite, da boste pustili, da energetski tokovi z višjo frekvenco tečejo skozi vaš sistem, občutite več energije. Ko oseba obupuje, na primer, ali pa je vsa zaskrbljena, se počuti fizično izčrpano, ker se je spojila z energetskim tokom nižje frekvence. Oseba v tem položaju postane težka in pusta, medtem ko radostna oseba kar prekipeva od energije in se počuti vedro, ker po njenem sistemu teče višjefrekvenčni energetski tok.

Štai kokia visų ligšiolinių mano įsivaizdavimų yda: visą laiką aš kūriau Margo paveikslą neklausydamas jos, nežinodamas, kad jos langas toks pat siauras, kaip ir maniškis, todėl ir nepajėgiau jos įsivaizduoti kaip žmogaus, kuris gali bijoti, jaustis vienišas pilname žmonių kambaryje, kuris drovisi pasakoti apie savo plokštelių kolekciją... Kuris iš tiesų neturi su kuo pasikalbėti, nes niekas nelaiko jos tiesiog žmogumi. Ir man iškart pasidarė aišku, ką Margo Rot Špygelman jausdavo, kai nebūdavo Margo Rot Špygelman: ogi tuštumą. Jausdavosi taip, lyg būtų apsupta neperkopiamos sienos. Margo, kaip žmogus, visą laiką taip ir gyveno: kambaryje, į kurį nieks neužsuka, kur visada nuleistos žaliuzės ir šviesa eina tik per plyšelius lubose. Taip. Didžiausia klaida, kurią kada nors dariau, buvo mano fantazijos. Iš tikrųjų, Margo ne stebuklas. Ir ne nuotykis. Ne kokia nors brangenybė. Ji tiesiog mergaitė.

Jeg henvender mig til disken og spør efter kognak. Manden ved disken forstår mig og sætter ned en flaske. Den har et mig ubekjent mærke, og det står Odessa på den. Tvi! sier jeg; har han ikke andet? Det forstår han ikke. Jeg langer selv op i hylden og finder mig en anden kognakflaske. Den viser sig å være av samme Odessamærke, men har fem stjærner. Jeg ser på den og anskuer den og finder den simpel. Om han ikke har bedre? Det forstår han ikke. Jeg tæller stjærner for ham, at det er fem, og føier til et par selv med blyant. Det forstår han. Han kommer virkelig med en seksstjærnet Odessaflaske. Hvad koster den? Fire og en halv rubel. Og den foregående? Tre og en halv. Det er en rubel pr.stjærne. Men jeg tok allikevel den med fem stjærner, og det viste sig å være en lynende stærk kognak som jeg fik sove av. Og idag er jeg trods alle kloke koners og alle turisters visdom bedre av feberen skjønt jeg drak kognak inat.

The ability to do hard things is perhaps the most useful ability you can foster in yourself or your children. And proof that you are someone who can do them is one of the most useful assets you can have on your life resume. Our self-image is composed of historical evidence of our abilities. The more hard things you push yourself to do, the more competent you will see yourself to be. If you can run marathons or throw double your body weight over your head, the sleep deprivation from a newborn is only a mild irritant. If you can excel at organic chemistry or econometrics, onboarding for a new finance job will be a breeze. But if we avoid hard things, anything mildly challenging will seem insurmountable. We’ll cry into TikTok over an errant period at the end of a text message. We’ll see ourselves as incapable of learning new skills, taking on new careers, and escaping bad situations. The proof you can do hard things is one of the most powerful gifts you can give yourself.

Did you know I always thought you were braver than me? Did you ever guess that that was why I was so afraid? It wasn’t that I only loved some of you. But I wondered if you could ever love more than some of me. I knew I’d miss you. But the surprising thing is, you never leave me. I never forget a thing. Every kind of love, it seems, is the only one. It doesn’t happen twice. And I never expected that you could have a broken heart and love with it too, so much that it doesn’t seem broken at all. I know young people look at me and think my youth seems so far away. But it’s all around me, and you’re all around me. Tiger Lily, do you think magic exists if it can be explained? I can explain why I loved you, I can explain the theory of evolution that tells me why mermaids live in Neverland and nowhere else. But it still feels magic. The lost boys all stood at our wedding. Does it seem odd to you that they could have stood at a wedding that wasn’t yours and mine? It does to me. And I’m sorry for it, and for a lot, and I also wouldn’t change it. It is so quiet here. Even with all the trains and the streets and the people. It’s nothing like the jungle. The boys have grown. Everything has grown. Do you think you will ever grow? I hope not. I like to think that even if I change and fade away, some other people won’t. I like to think that one day after I die, at least one small particle of me—of all the particles that will spread everywhere—will float all the way to Neverland, and be part of a flower or something like that, like that poet said, the one that your Tik Tok loved. I like to think that nothing’s final, and that everyone gets to be together even when it looks like they don’t, that it all works out even when all the evidence seems to say something else, that you and I are always young in the woods, and that I’ll see you sometime again, even if it’s not with any kind of eyes I know of or understand. I wouldn’t be surprised if that is the way things go after all—that all things end happy. Even for you and Tik Tok. And for you and me. Always, Your Peter P.S. Please give my love to Tink. She was always such a funny little bug.

U tim dalekim danima, po prvi put sam, zajedno sa prijateljima, podlegao toj nemogućoj i apsurdnoj misli da odem još dalje, dalje od banje, na zemlju ničiju i božju, u spornu i neutralnu pograničnu oblast, gde su se gubile konture država, gde je ruža vetrova bludno jurila sopstveni rep pod visokim, višespratnim nebom. Tamo smo želeli da se ukopamo u rovove, da se odvojimo od odraslih, da u potpunosti napustimo sferu njihovog uticaja, da proklamujemo republiku mladih. Tamo smo nameravali da konstituišemo novo i nezavisno zakonodavstvo, da uzdignemo novu hijerarhiju mera i vrednosti. Trebalo je da to bude život pod znakom poezije i pustolovine, neprekidnih oduševljenja i čuda. Činilo nam se, da treba samo razrgnuti barijere i granice konvencija, stara ležišta, kojima je bio obuhvaćen tok ljudskih tekovina, pa da se u naš život izlije svežina, veliki talas nepredvidljivog, potop romantičnih ideja i fabula. Želeli smo da posvetimo svoj život tom potoku romantične svežine, nadahnutoj plimi avantura i događaja, i da dozvolimo da budemo poneseni tim nadirućim talasima, bezvoljni i samo njima predani. Duh prirode je, u suštini, bio veliki bajkopisac. Iz njegove suštine isticale su nezadrživim tokom slatkorečive priče i povesti, romanse i epopeje. Čitava velika atmosfera bila je puna romanesknih tokova. Trebalo je samo postaviti zamke pod nebom punim fantoma, zabiti štap koji igra na vetru, i već su se u klopci nervozno okretali uhvaćeni komadi priča.

Atatürk Bizden Biridir Ne var ki, 10 yıl süren bir savaş sonucunda Anadolu yıkıntıya dönmüş, halkı ve doğal kaynakları sömürülmüş, insanları cahil bıraktırılmıştı. Elbette, bitkin ve yorgun bir ülkede savaşı kazanmış olmak yetmeyecekti, ülkeyi kalkındırmak ve ilerletmek gerekiyordu. Bu, düşmanı savaş alanlarında yenmekten de önemliydi. Üstelik yatırım yapacak para yokken, Osmanlı’nın borçları da ödeniyordu. Bu da yetmezmiş gibi, dünya ekonomik bunalımı çıkageldi. Bunalım, bir şeyler üreterek satmaya çabalayanları da yiyip bitirecekti. İşte bu koşullar altında kıvranan halkının sıkıntılarını doğrudan ondan dinlemek için, Gazi yurt gezisine çıktı. Yol boyunca dura dura, halkı dinleye dinleye 6 Mart 1930 günü Isparta üzerinden Antalya’ya ulaştı. Gazi, kaldığı evin bir odasına Hasan Rıza Soyak’la birlikte çekilerek, kapıyı kapatır ve bir koltuğa yığılır. Çok yorgun ve sinirlidir. Elleri titreyerek sigarasını yakar ve şöyle konuşur: -“Bunalıyorum çocuk, büyük bir acı içinde bunalıyorum. Görüyorsun ya, gittiğimiz her yerde devamlı dert, şikâyet dinliyoruz... Her taraf derin bir yokluk, maddi, manevi bir perişanlık içinde... Ferahlatıcı pek az şeye rastlıyoruz; memleketin hakiki durumu bu işte. Bunda bizim bir günahımız yoktur; uzun yıllar hatta asırlarca dünyanın gidişinden aymaz, birtakım şuursuz idarecilerin elinde kalan bu cennet memleket; düşe düşe şu acınacak hale düşmüş. Memurlarımız henüz istenilen seviyede ve kalitede değil; çoğu görgüsüz, kifayetsiz ve şaşkın... Büyük yeteneklere sahip olan zavallı halkımız ise, kendisine kutsal inanç şeklinde telkin edilen bir sürü temelsiz görüş ve inanışların tesiri altında uyuşmuş, kalmış... Bu arada beni en çok üzen şey nedir bilir misin? Halkımızın aklında kökleştirilmiş olan, her şeyi başta bulunandan beklemek alışkanlığıdır. İşte bu zihniyetle; herkes, her şeyi Allah’tan bekleyiş ve rahatlık içinde, bütün iyilikleri bir şahıstan, yani şimdi benden istiyor, benden bekliyor; ama nihayetinde ben de bir insanım be birader, sihirli bir gücüm yok ki... Yeri geldikçe, her yerde tekrar ediyorum; bütün bu dertlerin, bütün bu ihtiyaçların giderilmesi, her şeyden evvel, pek başka şartlar altında yetişmiş; bilgili, geniş düşünceli, azim, gönlü tok ve uzmanlık sahibi adam meselesidir, sonra da zaman ve imkân meselesidir. Bu itibarla evvelâ kafaları ve vicdanları yıpranmış, geri, uyuşturucu fikir ve inançlardan temizleyeceksin. İşlerin uzmanı, idealist ve enerjik insanlardan kurulu, düzenli, her parçası yerli yerinde, modern bir devlet makinesi kuracaksın; sonra bu makine halkın başında ve halkla beraber durmadan çalışacak, maddi ve manevi her türlü doğal yetenek ve kaynaklarımızı harekete getirecek, işletecek, böylece memleket ileriye, refaha doğru yol alacaktır. İleri milletler seviyesine erişmek işini; bir yılda, beş yılda, hatta bir nesilde tamamlamak da imkânsızdır. Biz şimdi o yol üzerindeyiz; kafileyi hedefe doğru yürütmek için, insan gücünü üstünde, gayret sarf ediyoruz; başka ne yapabiliriz ki?” Gazi, sözlerinin burasında duracaktı, gözleri dolmuştu, elleri titriyordu. Hasan Rıza’ya: -“Kalk, bana bir kahve getirmelerini söyle de, gel...” diyecekti. Hasan Rıza anlamıştı Gazi’nin gözlerinden yaşlar boşandığını kendisinin görmesini istemediğini. O da, kahve söylemek bahanesiyle dışarı çıktığında oyalanacak, hemen dönmeyecekti odaya. Hasan Rıza Soyak, Atatürk’ten Anılar, İstanbul 1973, s. 405–406.
