Quote by Yasmina Khadra

“Ce n'est pas la première fois qu'un attentat secoue Tel-Aviv, et les secours sont menés au fur et à mesure avec une efficacité grandissante. Mais un attentat reste un attentat. A l'usure, on peut le gérer techniquement, pas humainement. L'émoi et l'effroi ne font pas bon ménage avec le sang froid. Lorsque l'horreur frappe, c'est toujours le coeur qu'elle vise le premier.”

“»Nein«, entgegnet Friedrich jedoch überraschend. »Sie sind nicht wie wir – jedenfalls noch nicht. Erst wenn sich eine Redewendung oder ein Sprichwort bei mehreren Generationen im Sprachgebrauch fest etabliert hat, wird ein Neologismus zum Lebenden Sprichwort und damit ebenfalls unsterblich. Und durch die Modewellen heutzutage sind solche Sprachneuschöpfungen schnell auch wieder unmodern. Ich tröste mich immer mit dem Gedanken, dass sich die vier eines Tages vielleicht einfach mit einem Puff wieder in Luft auflösen. Hach, wäre das schön!«”

“I do not know which is more annoying, the real Goodfellow or the reflection." "Well, considering they are one and the same," said a second, identical Grimalkin, materializing next to the first, "we should be thankful that they will be only one left when this is all over." "Agreed. Two Goodfellows would be more than anyone in this world could take." "I shudder to think of the implications." "You are so not helping, Grimalkin!" the real Puck called, ducking beneath a savage head strike. "And we're not here to have tea with our evil doppelgangers! Shouldn't you two be trying to kill each other?" The Grimalkins sniffed. "Please," they said at the same time.”

“The most effective young Facebook users, however — the ones who will probably be winners if Facebook turns out to be a model of the future they will inhabit as adults — are the ones who create successful online fictions about themselves. They tend their doppelgängers fastidiously. They must manage offhand remarks and track candid snapshots at parties as carefully as a politician. Insincerity is rewarded, while sincerity creates a lifelong taint. Certainly, some version of this principle existed in the lives of teenagers before the web came along, but not with such unyielding, clinical precision.”
