“Amacım, kimseyi geçmişin pişmanlık denizinde boğmak değil; nihayetinde kişinin bakışını geleceğe çevirmesini sağlamak ve şu potansiyel olarak hayat değiştirici soruyu sormaktır: Şu anda hayatında ne yapabilirsin ki bir yıl ya da beş yıl sonra geriye dönüp baktığında, biriken yeni pişmanlıklarınla ilgili benzer bir üzüntü hissetmeyesin? Başka bir deyişle, pişmanlık biriktirmeden yaşamayı başarabilir misin?" Nietzsche’nin düşünce deneyi, yaşamı tam anlamıyla yaşayamamış olma hissinden kaynaklanan ölüm kaygısıyla baş eden insanlar için terapistin elinde güçlü bir araç sunar. Dorothy, bu duruma dair klinik bir örnek sağlar.”

“amadurecer (v.): é saber admitir que errei com quem eu amo e parar de jogar a culpa no destino e no medo. é não fugir de certas memórias e voltar a ouvir a banda que eu evitava por causa de outra pessoa. é aprender o real valor dos nossos pais. é perceber que, infelizmente, nem tudo tem conserto. é endurecer a alma. é viver o suficiente para aprender que sou uma versão melhor de mim não pela quantidade de vezes que acertei, mas pela quantidade de vezes que errei.”

“Amai tua madre assai, ma lei non fu mai il mio grande amore,il più importante. Quello non mi abbandona ancora e alleggerisce il peso degli anni. Quando avverrà sarà il momento di morire......L'amore per se stessi. Il rispetto per se stessi. Tu devi amarti. Piacerti. Soltanto allora gli altri ti ameranno. A casa tua l'ospite migliore sei tu, prima di tutti gli altri. Quelli vengono dopo.”

“Amal, it's naïve to think that because somebody is ignorant they are a bad person. I feel so much for Leila because I know that she understands that she can be all she wants to be, not in spite of Islam, but because of it." "It's her mum's stupid fault." "Amal, Gulchin's just trying to bring up Leila in the only way she knows how. She married young. She never had the opportunity to gain an education. She can't read. She can't write. Her world has always been about raising her children and looking after her home. There's nothing wrong with that, if that's what she chooses." "Yeah, but she's forcing it on Leila!" "Which is wrong. But try to expand your mind and think about things from other people's perspectives. Everything is relative, If you want to understand a problem you look at its cause. You don't look at its manifestation." "How is that supposed to make Leila feel better?" She sighs, playing with my hair. "God knows... Sometimes, Amal, people are paralysed by their traditions and customs It's all they know, so you can't judge them for following and believing what they know." "Come off it, Mum! Any moron would realize that she following her village's culture, not Islam. So for her to g around and tell the world it's Islam when it's the exact opposite is so dumb!" "Yes, I know that. But from her point of view I believe she thinks she is simply trying to protect Leila." "Protect her from what? It's a crappy shopping spree" "Everybody's scared of what they don't know, Amal.”

“Amamos mais o que vemos em perigo. Somos feitos para aumentar de coração perante a família que sofre. Por vezes, nem tripas levamos dentro, nem estômago ou rins. Somos tão ocupados por amar alguém que nenhuma função desempenhamos senão a de amar, e todo nosso interior é o coração dilatado, esforçado como um touro jovem que se disfarça em nosso aspecto mais frágil.”

“Amanda [Bynes] and I are the same age so I grew up watching her and really looking up to her and for me, to see this path that's happening and to watch it, is kind of really affecting me in ways that I didn't think it would. It's weird to be in a situation where you can't help. I obviously don't know her at all but I want to bring her back and I want to make her happy and healthy for some reason and she's not there and we can't do anything to help so it kind of sucks. All we're doing is hurting it.”

“Amanda esitò. – Maddie? Lei la guardò nella penombra della notte. Il lampione era lontano, la luce ambrata stendeva campiture nitide sui lineamenti tesi dell’amica. I capelli scuri si confondevano con l’ombra. – Andrà tutto bene, te lo prometto – mormorò Amanda e le strinse la mano. Madison annuì, vaga. – Sì. Sarebbe andato tutto bene, si ripeté nella mente. Se lo ripeté di nuovo. E di nuovo. E ancora.”

“Amanda is wrong. I do have an instinct about people, and it tells me David is just fine. I wonder if he doesn't cook because his wife did all the cooking until she died. I wonder what she was like. Like Ma, maybe, capable and in charge, always repeating rules and being protective. I felt smothered sometimes but I know Ma always tried to do what was right for me. One of her unsuccessful lessons in how to make and keep friends was 'Be a little mysterious.' Of course I could never find the right level of mystery. If I asserted myself, she said, 'Don't be too insistent,' and if I hung back too much, it was 'Don't be such a little wallflower.' I preferred to think of myself as a cat. If I think of my behavior as cat behavior instead of people behavior, it pretty much always makes sense. Maybe that's part of why I love Midnight. Maybe she reminds me of me.”

“Amanda, still thinking more about Harry Mize than the issues before the committee, lunged forward and snatched the note from Kershing’s hand. After reading it, she stood up and walked out of the hearing, leaving the receipt on her chair. Rick glanced up as she walked out. Then, he picked up his receipt and read Kershing’s words. Get the trucks in position. It’s time to go.”

“Amanda Werner and several other beautiful, elegant, conically breasted foreign ladies, from unspecified vaguely defined countries, plus a few bucolic co-called humorists, comprised Buster's perpetual core of repeats. Women like Amanda Werner never made movies, never appeared in plays; they lived out their queer, beautiful lives as guests on Buster's unending show, appearing, Isidore had once calculated, as much as seventy hours a week.”

“Amanece en México. Millones de ciudadanos se preparan para otra ardua jornada laboral. Un controlados aéreo de la torre del Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez de la Ciudad de México entrega su turno después de una noche más de eficaz trabajo cumplido. Un agricultor del valle de Culiacán, granero de México, prepara su sistema de riego con tecnología de punta. Una ingeniera atómica controla impolutamente los desechos de uranio altamente enriquecidos de la central nuclear de Laguna Verde. Un empresario de Monterrey termina una conference call con sus socios del Lejano Oriente. En un hotel del Caribe, la recepcionista despierta puntualmente a los turistas de las habitaciones que así se lo han pedido. Los hospitales trabajan. Las escuelas inician labores. La basura se recoge. El agua corre por las cañerías. La luz se enciende. Los teatros dan la tercera llamada. En el campo, millones de manos ya están sobre el surco y los empleados de la periferia de las grandes ciudades se desplazan hacia sus centros de trabajo. Una monumental energía humana echa a andar un día más la undécima potencia económica del planeta.”

“Amanis a spiritual being made to.be an alloy of all the metals that have no value of diamonds or rubies. Man are taught to be malleable not brittle. My father told me never entertain a whore while drinking wine, always entertain your wife after a round of Pinot noir. If you have to buy a slice of flesh don't eat the stake, look for a boney meat. Never smoke thus ungentle and uncouth you are pleasing capitalism of unethics and destroying your lungs. After drinking whiskey, and always drink Scottish, if you are poor enough try Canadian. If you want to be a sage Japanese taste crazy but it makes you a man. Boys are not made but they are roasted in fires of bellies and they stay in barrels for maturity. Spend hours reading Greek philosophy, African methodologies and read the holy Bible. In doing business always despise free lunch and never drink brandy, sometimes act like a Vatican and be an integrity vulture. Stoicism is the ultimate master. Avoid to step on great man shoe and always be water.”

“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 14 Messiahs don't drop from the sky, As mortal suffering jumps the fence. A messiah is just a mortal, Minus all the indifference. Peygambers don't jog down from jennet, As people are troubled by malice. A peygamber is just a regular person, Who has conquered their prejudice. Buddhas don't grow in a zen garden, As the world reeks of bigotry. A buddha is just an ordinary being, Minus all the self-centricity. Mind is the enemy, mind is the mate. To all wounds of society mind is ointment.”

“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 51 Education alone won't change anything, First we gotta rid education of all archaism. Rather than being a tool of indoctrination, Education oughta be a force of undoctrination. Education ought to be secular, Education ought to be nonsectarian. Sectarianism that passes as education, Is the very antithesis of education. Scriptures can be a part of education, But they mustn't be the basis of education. Cultures can be a part of education, But they mustn't be the basis of education. Any force that claims to liberate the mind, Must first liberate itself from all divide.”
