You better stop with the blah-fucking-zay shit now, or I'll shove this fork so far up your arse, you'll be chewing metal. What question are you considering?
Jodi Ellen Malpas (This Man (This Man, #1))
I promise I'll stay as safe as I can. And since Zay refuses to leave me alone, I figure if things get bad, I can always shove him into the line of fire while I run like hell.
Devon Monk (Magic to the Bone (Allie Beckstrom, #1))
For a brief, weird minute I felt like Dorothy in Oz, walking down the street with Terric the doubtful, Shame the brainless, and heartless Zay.
Devon Monk (Magic at the Gate (Allie Beckstrom, #5))
I glanced up at Zay, then walked over to stand next to him. "You look good with a baby in your arms," he murmured. I took his hand, careful with his fingers that were still wrapped in tape. "Don't get your hopes up, Jones. I'm not the settling-down type." "Want to bet on that?" he asked. "Sure." I made a fist; so did he. We pumped three times. I threw paper. Zayvion threw scissors. I'd lost. Startled, I looked up at him. "Two out of three?" Zay grinned. So did I.
Devon Monk (Magic on the Hunt (Allie Beckstrom, #6))
You threw Shackle," Terric said. "At his head. With a hell of a lot of magic." "He was trying to kill you guys. He'd trapped Zay. What did you want me to do, challenge him to a game of dominos? I was supposed to ride to the rescue, right? I rode.
Devon Monk (Magic on the Hunt (Allie Beckstrom, #6))
He who does not know his past cannot make the best of his present and future, for it is from the past that we learn.
Sheikh Zayed Al Nahyan
قيل للشيخ زايد رحمه الله بأن 85% من الامارات عماله وافده. فقال: ان الرزق رزق الله الله, والمال مال الله, والارض ارض الله, والفضل فضل الله, والخلق خلق الله, ومن توكل على الله اعطاه الله, ومن يبينا حياه الله. Sheikh Zayed Al Nahyan was told that 85% of the workforce in the UAE is made up of expatriate workers, he said: The livelihood is from God, the money is God's, the land is God's, the grace is God's, we are all God's creation, and he who has trusted God will never be failed, and those who come to us are welcome
Sheikh Zayed Al Nahyan
I doubt she likes the idea of seeing him put back in a cage.” “Maybe not,” he said. “But she knows that the Authority are the only people who might be able to help him.” “Or kill him,” I said. “That too. What is life without risk?” “Long?” Terric laughed, a sort of high whooping that made me—and Zayvion, much to my surprise—smile. Contagious. For all he had a serious exterior, Terric was the guy you’d want to sit next to at a funny movie, just to hear him laugh.
Devon Monk (Magic on the Storm (Allie Beckstrom, #4))
Arab oil can never be dearer than Arab blood.
Sheikh Zayed Al Nahyan
Everything quiet?" "You mean Shame" "I mean your Pooh News. Any rumblies in the tumblies?" I gave him a grin. He shook his head. "You just can't let that go, can you?...
Devon Monk (Magic Without Mercy (Allie Beckstrom, #8))
The real asset of any advanced nation is its people, especially the educated ones, and the prosperity and success of the people are measured by the standard of their education.
Sheikh Zayed Al Nahyan
Zay shrugged one shoulder. “I wouldn’t say it was entirely innocent. All that warm, wet water touching us everywhere. And the soap definitely had ulterior motives.” I wrapped the towel around me, tucking it tight at the top. “That career in comedy? Walk away now, Jones.
Devon Monk (Magic on the Storm (Allie Beckstrom, #4))
Last time you walked into death, Jones was miserable to be around." "I was in a coma." Zay said. "Like I said no fun at all. I have pictures to prove it." Shame smiled and leaned back in the seat.
Devon Monk (Magic for a Price (Allie Beckstrom, #9))
My dad told me he knew where to find Zay. Which meant I had to cooperate with him. ... "Do you see what we have accomplished together? The healing of souls with the magic you carry. We have healed souls in death. With light and dark magic." “We? No, you stuck your hands in my chest and stole my magic and threw it at them. If you try that again, you won’t have hands. Where’s Zayvion?” Okay, maybe I was a little rusty on the whole cooperation thing.
Devon Monk (Magic at the Gate (Allie Beckstrom, #5))
Wealth is not money. Wealth lies in men. This is where true power lies, the power we value. This is what has convinced us to direct all our resources to building the individual, and to using the wealth which God has provided us in the service of the nation.
Sheikh Zayed Al Nahyan
Islam desists violence practised by terrorists who kill their brethren and commit all despicable actions under the shelter of religion. Islam dissociates itself strictly from these people and their actions.

Rough night?" Zay asked. "Oh, no. Glorious, thanks. Mum had me cross-checking data on solid Veiled all damn night.Fuckin' A, there better be a shot of whiskey at the end of this damn morning." "Nola said she'd have fresh coffee," I said. "Whiskey. I'll say it slow: whiiiskey.

Our system of government is based on our religion, and is what our people want. Should they seek alternatives, were are ready to listen to them. We are all in the same boat, and they are both captain and crew.
Sheikh Zayed Al Nahyan
A man says to her: Inti zay el amar. You are like the moon. Again, translation fails. There is no English equivalent to the lineage of this phrase, a lineage that runs through generations of old movies and love songs and family gatherings. Listen to the sly setting joy and pleading, raw pleading that carries the words as this man tells the girl who lived when so many others died that she is beautiful beyond the bounds of this world.
Omar El Akkad (One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This)
He stands and he lifts me up by my shoulders, and he hugs me tight. “I'm sorry, dude.” Zay-Rod joins our little huddle. It is, sex included, the most intimate moment of my life. They hold me tight, and I just close my eyes and breathe, thinking how glad I am they're my buddies, and wondering why I was ever afraid to tell them
Bill Konigsberg (The Music of What Happens)
On land and in the sea, our fore-fathers lived and survived in this environment. They were able to do so because they recognised the need to conserve it, to take from it only what they needed to live, and to preserve it for succeeding generations.
Sheikh Zayed Al Nahyan
Our life at present on the blessed soil of our country is a triumph over the pains of the past and the harshness of its conditions.

Do you know the Guardians?” I asked Zay. “Is there some kind of club or yearly get-together where Guardians get drunk, wear funny hats, and compare war stories?
Devon Monk (Magic for a Price (Allie Beckstrom, #9))
Is there an option C? Take a vacation somewhere sunny, and drink a lot of rum until the world unfucks itself?’’ Zay
Devon Monk (Magic to the Bone (Allie Beckstrom, #1))
How many do you see?" Zayvion asked. "What's more than a swarm?" Shame said. "A mob?" Terric suggested. "No, like if a girl mob met a boy mob and then they decided to repopulate the earth with billions of baby mobs, how many is that?" "Too many." Zay said, "Are we talking thousands?" There was a pause, then from Shame,"Yes." And that was in his serious voice.
Devon Monk
The new generation should be aware of the suffering of his ancestors. This awareness will provide them with drive, firmness and solidity in order to complete the epic of construction and development initiated by our fathers and ancestors. This odyssey of accomplishments and contributions is an embodiment of our national ambitions after decades of disarray, backwardness and deprivation.

Massa Stubb say dat you can fill your dam bellies up to de hatchings, but by Gor! you must stop dat dam racket!" "Cook," here interposed Stubb, accompanying the word with a sudden slap on the shoulder,—"Cook! why, damn your eyes, you mustn't swear that way when you're preaching. That's no way to convert sinners, cook!" "Who dat? Den preach to him yourself," sullenly turning to go. "No, cook; go on, go on." "Well, den, Belubed fellow-critters:"— "Right!" exclaimed Stubb, approvingly, "coax 'em to it; try that," and Fleece continued. "Do you is all sharks, and by natur wery woracious, yet I zay to you, fellow-critters, dat dat woraciousness—'top dat dam slappin' ob de tail! How you tink to hear, spose you keep up such a dam slappin' and bitin' dare?" "Cook," cried Stubb, collaring him, "I won't have that swearing. Talk to 'em gentlemanly." Once more the sermon proceeded. "Your woraciousness, fellow-critters, I don't blame ye so much for; dat is natur, and can't be helped; but to gobern dat wicked natur, dat is de pint. You is sharks, sartin; but if you gobern de shark in you, why den you be angel; for all angel is not'ing more dan de shark well goberned.

Herman Melville (Moby Dick)

Sheikh Zayed
Sheikh Zayed al Nahyan, who had ruled Abu Dhabi beginning in 1966 and was the founder of the United Arab Emirates in 1971, would warn that the emirate could not always depend on oil. With that in mind, he had established ADIA—the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority—considered today the second largest sovereign wealth fund in the world, with assets publicly estimated at over $800 billion. His son, Mohammed bin Zayed, became crown prince in 2004. He catalyzed the drive to broaden the economy. “In 50 years, when we might have the last barrel of oil,” he said, “when it is shipped abroad, will we be sad? If we are investing today in the right sectors, I can tell you we will celebrate.” One initiative was Mubadala, a second sovereign wealth fund, with about $230 billion under management, which tilts toward building and investing in companies both in Abu Dhabi and internationally.
Daniel Yergin (The New Map: Energy, Climate, and the Clash of Nations)
You’re my whole heart, Hals,” I tell her. “If you don’t beat for me, I can’t go on.” “I want to be the one to pump blood into your veins, Zay,” she replies, tears gathering in her eyes as she moves against me, soaking my sweatpants. “I’d live inside your rib cage if you let me.
Shae Ruby (Tattered Bodies (The Broken, #3))
Kav! Calm yo’ ass down, nigga! You got me fuckin’ tieeed! All this pulling ain’t it. Just shoot the nigga,” Zay fussed, pulling me off his ass again.
K. Renee (When It All Falls Down)
Once in power, Zayed was an energized man. One of his first acts in office was to throw open the palace strongbox, giving away all the money that his brother had stockpiled. Zayed made an incredible announcement: Anyone in the seven Trucial States who needed cash for any reason should come see him. People streamed in from every corner of every sheikhdom, traveling to Abu Dhabi by camel, by car, by dhow, and on foot. They lined up outside the leader’s palace, waiting for their turn to ask, and receive. Zayed kept up the handouts until he emptied the coffers. 13 The big giveaway sounds like a crazy idea, especially coming as it did before the UAE emerged as an in de pen dent nation, so that most of the recipients were, essentially, foreigners. But Zayed’s gifts weren’t mislaid. Local Arabs considered such over-the-top generosity as the behavior of their kind of leader. The upstarts in Dubai couldn’t match the gesture, nor could the has-beens in Sharjah. Zayed’s giveaway went a long way toward welding disparate sheikhdoms into a nation—and toward positioning Zayed as the paternal über-sheikh who should rule. Sheikh Zayed didn’t disappoint. Each year for the rest of his reign, he made a splashy tour around the emirates, visiting even the dust bowl towns of Ajman and Umm Al-Quwain. People yelled, “The president is coming! The president is coming!” and lined up to greet the great sheikh. He would ask what they needed. “Anything you want, tell me,” Zayed would say. His subjects asked for houses, overseas medical treatment, or the release of a jailed brother. Some handed requests scribbled onto sheets of paper, lest the great sheikh forget. Zayed’s handlers from the diwan, his royal court, compiled names, phone numbers, and requests. Over the next few weeks, the diwan would send officials knocking at each door with cash, whether 10,000 dirhams or 100,000 dirhams. 14 It was a fantastic nation-building tool. Not just the handouts of cash, but the in-person availability of the national ruler, who would respond like a kind father to personal needs. How could anyone speak against the union if it put cash in your hand? “We used to think he was too generous, that

At least we don’t have to worry about messing our hair,” Celeste laughed. “Mine’s already a disaster anyway.” Susan turned onto Sheikh Zayed Road, the main thoroughfare that ran north-south connecting two of the seven United Arab Emirates, Dubai and Abu Dhabi. It was a highway that inspired hair-raising stories around the world, with the YouTube videos to prove it.
Anne Louise O'Connell (Deep Deceit)
Leah was afraid to tell Trigga and Truth about her and Zay’s relationship. One rule they always made clear to her was to never get involved with anyone affiliated with them.

Just so happens, my baby sister is Cita, the one who used to work at the club for Zay. Yep, that’s right, I had a hella plan to bring that nigga down.

Then Shame raised his voice, obviously talking to me. “Aren’t you going to ask why I came by?” I shrugged the shoulder that didn’t hurt. “You need a reason to harass Zay?” “Hell no. But I’m not here to talk to Zay. I’m here for you.” He strolled across the room toward me.
Devon Monk (Magic on the Storm (Allie Beckstrom, #4))
My friends tell me that Zay has a wife and a child out of town, but he has never mentioned them in the nine months we have been seeing each other. I don’t see how he is married because he always spends the night when he comes and never answers his phone when it rings.
Jessica M. (A No Good Love Affair)
I really have seen Zay going into that bitch Mya’s condo, but my reason for ratting him out is for my own motives.
Jessica M. (A No Good Love Affair)
I never made my thoughts and feelings known to Shay, so it’s not like she took my man, but I had a big crush on Zay in school and I’m still crushing on him now. For

Zay even paid me to stay away from Shay, and that’s how I ended up in Atlanta.

So I asked the salesclerk for a jar of confiture de groseilles, which is pronounced “gro-zay.” But with my less-than-stellar command of the language, I asked for “confiture de grosses selles” (which I pronounced as “gross sells”). The saleswoman’s jaw nearly hit the counter: I’d ordered turd jam…make that big-turd jam.
David Lebovitz (The Sweet Life in Paris)
Things change all the time, and the more we grasp them, the more it feels like sand is slipping through our fingers. They have to be held gently and carefully, for squeezing ruins the composition. I’ve squeezed Zay until there was damn near nothing left, until he surrendered and broke before my eyes, but he’s not truly gone. If I opened the door and told him he could leave without consequence, he would. For now.
R. Phoenix (Tarnished Cages (Gilded Cages #2))
I meant it, Evie. I love you. I love you so fucking much, and no matter what, I’m going to get you out of this. You, Blake, and Zay will have the life you always dreamed of. I fucking promise you that.

Saudi Arabia established a robust alliance with the United Arab Emirates (UAE). These two neighbors created a very powerful bloc, producing between them nearly half the Arab world’s GDP and 40 percent of OPEC’s oil. Their crown princes, Mohammed bin Salman and Mohammed bin Zayed, were close personally and professionally. Although their interests were not completely aligned, from 2015 onward the two neighbors fought together against the Iranian-supported Houthis in Yemen. In June 2018, their de-facto alliance was given a formal structure through a new Saudi–Emirati Coordination Council. Led by the two crown princes, the new body issued a “Strategy for Resolve” listing forty-four joint economic and military projects that the two nations planned to carry out over the following five years.
