“Advising Mrs. Harris was the least I could do," David said smoothly. "After all, she was the one who brought me and my late wife together." That was stretching it a bit, since all Charlotte had done was give Sarah lessons in how to avoid fortune hunters, thus ensuring that the recalcitrant girl went right out and married the first one who approached her.”

“Advising the average person to not concern herself with calories but instead to pay attention to hunger triggers and eating foods rick in nutrients--well, it's a wonderful concept. I also love the thought of unicorns jumping over cotton candy rainbows. I'm even considering taking up basketball to see if it makes me taller. Come on already! Suggesting that someone who struggles with his weight does not need to think about calories is as risky as suggesting you not look at price tags the next time you're in the market for a car.”
“Advisors are generally brilliant theoreticians but wretched practitioners.”

“Advocacy groups, politicians, and bureaucrats use the government to advance their private good instead of the common good.”
“Advocacy is a natural process that comes from within. It emerges when someone gets to the point where they are tired of witnessing the injustice imposed upon others and decide to do something about it. It is not something you can buy or pay for. It comes from the heart. That is where the fiercest warriors come from.”
“Advocacy is empathy, compassion and community at work.”
“Advocacy is for all of us; advocacy is a way of life. It is a natural response to the injustice and inequality in the world. While you and I may not have sole responsibility for these inequities, that does not alter its reality.
Ki'tay D. Davidson & TL (Talila A. Lewis)

“Advocacy makes change possible when people are willing to call out what is wrong, care enough to stand up for what is right, commit to the cause for as long as it takes, choose the right forum, collaborate and form coalitions with like-minded people and organizations, communicate with honesty and respect, and have confidence in God’s ability to change hearts and minds.”
“Advocacy of leaf protein as a human food is based on the undisputed fact that forage crops (such as lucerne) give a greater yield of protein than other types of crops. Even with conventional food crops there is more protein in the leafy parts than in the seeds or tubs that are usually harvested.”
“Advocates could also point to several studies from reputable sources indicating that the dangers of nuclear had been overblown. The WHO reported that as of 2005, almost 20 years after the accident, fewer than 50 people had died as a result of radiation exposure from the Chernobyl accident—which was by far the worst nuclear accident in history. Those who died were nearly all rescue workers who were exposed acutely. The report predicted that that number could eventually climb to 4,000, as older people eventually died of cancer that could have been related to the exposure. While this death toll is terrible (and the accident had other devastating impacts as well), it hardly sounds like the apocalyptic catastrophe it was feared to be at the”

“Advocating democracy has, by other people, often been taken as a form of imperialism, and not without some justification. So the important thing in a democracy is that it doesn't necessarily have to agree with what America's interests are, and it doesn't necessarily have to be serving American interests.”
“Advocating for justice can feel overwhelming. The problems are massive, systemic, and deeply entrenched. But every small act—every starfish saved—matters.”

“Advocating the mere tolerance of difference between women is the grossest reformism. it is a total denial of the creative function of difference in our lives. Difference must be not merely toleration, but seen as a fund of necessary polarities between which our creativity can spark like a dialectic. Only then does the necessity for interdependency become unthreatening. Only within the interdependency of different strengths, acknowledged and equal, can the power to seek new ways of being in the world generate, as well as the courage and sustenance to act where there are no charters”
“Advocating through art is known as propaganda. You should look up the name Goebbels.”

“Adımdan ötürü bana Bingöl'ü bile çok görenler, şimdi de oturduğum lojmandan kapı dışarı ediyorlar. Öyle ya; Sosyalist Kültür Ansiklopedisi'nde, Edebiyatımızda İsimler ve Şairler ve Yazarlar sözlüklerinde biyografisi olan birinin lojmanda oturmaya hakkı yoktur Türkiye' de.

“Aedion touched her shoulder. "Welcome home, Aelin."
A land of towering mountains-the Stagehorns-spread before them, with valleys and rivers and hills; a land of untamed, wild beauty.
Terrasen.
And the smell-of pine and snow.. How had she never realized that Rowan's scent was of Terrasen, of home? Rowan came close enough to graze her shoulder and murmured, "I feel as if I've been looking for this place my entire life.”

“Aeduan didn’t contradict her. She was what she was, and fighting one’s nature only brought pain. Sometimes death too.”
Source: Windwitch
“Aeduan.” She’d never said his name aloud. She was surprised by how easily it rolled off the tongue.
He looked back, his expression inscrutable as always. But laced with … with something. Hope, she found herself thinking, though she knew it was fanciful.
Aeduan was not the sort of man to ever hope.”

“Aedus reached into the center console and pulled out a pair of sunglasses. There was hardly a cloud in the sky. He drove for ten minutes before the helicopter came in sight, gradually descending towards the airport in his opposite direction. He looked around for a place to make a U-turn, but there was no legal turn available. Aedus sighed. The things a good guy has to do. He made a turn onto a side road and looped back around, tires squealing. In an action movie he’d just make a U-turn wherever, speed down the road, and weave in and out of traffic. Alas, this wasn’t an action movie and he wasn’t a certain Jason Bour—no time to think about that. The airport was coming up quick and as bustling as ever.”
