“Bence bugün çoğu insan, dile getirmeseler bile, tevazuu bir erdem olarak görüyor ve hayatında tevazua yer veriyor. Günlük sohbetleri, marangozların birlikte çalışırken, sekreterlerin molalarda konuşurken, birlikte içen veya yemek yiyen insanların ilgi konuları ve bildikleri üzerine gündelik konuşmalarını düşünüyorum ve bu tür durumlarda tevazuun ölçüt sayıldığı fikrindeyim. Arabamı nasıl ucuza kapattım, şuraya ne seyahat yaptım, müthiş seks hayatım, Isa'yla özel ilişkim, vesaire yollu gevezelikler, hoş veya nahoş biçimleriyle özellikle erkekleri dinleyen kadınlardan çıkar ve yayılır. Ama geniş kapsamda mütevazı sohbet toparlanır, bir kayanın etrafından akan sular misali tekrar bir araya gelir ve kesintisiz akar. Sıradan insanları bir arada tutan şeydir mütevazı sohbet. Reklamın zıddıdır. Birliktir. Paylaşımdır. Duygu ortaklığııdır.”

Tools like model cards and datasheets support responsible benchmark practices. But comprehensive governance requires collaboration at all levels of society.”

“Bend down, will you?" She was already reaching up for me.
Rendered a deer in headlights, I did as she asked, my face slack, my gaze stuck on hers. With gentle but deft movements, she ran the pads of her fingers over my skin, along the bridge of my nose, down the sides of my cheeks. Biting back a groan, I lowered my lids and breathed deeply. They were simple touches, nothing more than her smearing sunscreen on me. And it felt so good I wanted to purr or whimper. Something. Anything to get her to keep doing it.”

“Bend down, bend down. Excess is the only ease, so bend. The sun is in the tree. Put your mouth on mine. Bend down beam & slash, for Dread is dreamed-up-scenes of what comes after death. Is being fled from what bends down in pain. The elbow bends in the brain, lifts the cup. The worst is yet to dream you up, so bend down the intrigue you dreamed. Flee the hayneedle in the brain's tree. Excess allures by leaps. Stars burn clean. Oriole bitches and gleams. Dread is the fear of being less forever. So bend. Bend down and kiss what you see.”
“Bend like the willow, winds gonna blow you hard and cold tonight. Life as it happens, nobody warns you, willow hold on tight.”

como si el mundo estuviese acabando
y el último árbol en la Tierra
fueras tú.”

“Bene massimo fra tutti in un paese è l'indipendenza della magistratura, sola garanzia di giustizia che è fondamento dei regni. Ma la indipendenza della magistratura non si ottiene abilitando i giovani forniti del sesto senso necessario ad emergere nella vita e che per essi è quello giuridico, ad addottorarsi grazie a borse di studio in legge ed a partecipare, tra i venti ed i venticinque anni, ai concorsi di ammissione alla carriera giudiziaria. Il concorso attesta, forse, l'attitudine alla interpretazione della legge; non quel che sovrattutto monta, la fermezza del carattere morale. Il concorso, anzi, pone tutti, a parità di intelligenza, alla medesima stregua: tutti uguali, l'arrivista, il procacciante, colui che pesa il torto e la ragione al lume della sola giurisprudenza e l'uomo retto, che non transige colla coscienza e non si piega, per esigenze di carriera, ai desideri dei superiori e dei potenti.”

“Beneath a free government there is nothing but the intelligence of the people to keep the people's peace. Order must be preserved, not by a military police or regiments of horse-guards, but by the spontaneous concert of a well-informed population, resolved that the rights which have been rescued from despotism shall not be subverted by anarchy.”

“Beneath a mask of selfish tranquility nothing exists except bitterness and boredom.”
“Beneath a mask of selfish tranquility nothing exists except bitterness and boredom. I am one of those whom suffering has made empty and frivolous: each night in my dreams I pull the scab off a wound; each day, vacuous and habit-ridden, I help it re-form.”
“Beneath a romantic, yet melancholic dusk sky,
the roads continue meandering, in their
own rhythm, as I gazed into them,
moments continue scattering
as I kept living them.”

A battle fought, a hidden dream.
Depression's mask I wear each day,
Hoping to find a brighter way.”
“Beneath Albright’s office, the colliery sprawled across the hillside, red brick buildings scattered as though hurled from a great height, a hotchpotch of mismatched structures spattered on the valley floor. At the bottom stood the winding house, wheels motionless, above it, the engineering sheds and workshops, canteen and bath house. All lay empty. No buzz and hum of machinery. No voices raised in laughter or dispute. Gwyn found it unsettling: his lads had been out a month and a half and already the power had drained from the place. In the stillness, he caught the echo of footsteps. The crunch of boots on gravel. Generations of long-gone Pritchards clocking in and out. He was bound to Blackthorn by the coal that clogged his veins and by a bond of duty. The strike left him as diminished as his pit, day dragging after idle day.”
