“Carving Inclusion (The Sonnet)
Carving a sonnet of inclusion on a statue,
Does not magically make a nation accepting.
There ain't gonna be no inclusion unless we,
Stop filibustering, and start love-mustering.
Turning back the clock on cultural diversity,
Does not make a nation strong and progressive.
Traditions that refuse inclusion and expansion,
Are sheer poison in the path of societal uplift.
A rigid nation is no nation but a primitive tribe,
A civilized community practices reason and warmth.
Economy does not make a nation super power,
Equality and inclusion reveal its true worth.
Assimilation is to be etched upon the national heart,
Only then we can call such heart a human heart.”

“Cary Grant was one of the most marvelous men I've ever met.”

“Casa aceasta era aproape moartă.
Interiorul ei era pe jumătate mîncat de tentaculele nisipului care curgea neîncetat, nisip care nici măcar nu avea o formă proprie - alta decît diametrul mediu de 1/8 mm. Şi totuşi nimic nu-i putea sta împotrivă acestei forţe distructive, lipsite de formă. Şi poate că manifestarea cea mai înaltă a forţei nisipului era că n-avea formă.”

“Casa tua non è il posto dove atterri; è quello da cui decolli. Non è possibile scegliersi una casa, come non lo è scegliersi una famiglia.

“Casals says music fills him with the wonder of life and the 'incredible marvel' of being a human. Ives says it expands his mind and challenges him to be a true individual. Bernstein says it is enriching and ennobling. To me, that sounds like a good cause for making music and the arts an integral part of every child's education. Studying music and the arts elevates children's education, expands students' horizons, and teaches them to appreciate the wonder of life.”
“Casamento é como bicho de duas cabeças tentando provar que não contrariam-se.”
“Casamento é isso: um jogo de frescobol, o importante é não deixar a bola cair; se ela te jogar uma bola enviesada, devolva da melhor forma possível.”

“Casanova had no ordinary shame”
Source: Twelve Against the Gods
“Casanova, he had no money and no power, and according to some, he even was cute. But he had talent to live, and some literature talent. I love how he invented himself.”
“Casanovas who have had too many amorous relationships use possessiveness as a protective cloak in which they can hide their pretty girlfriends from the evil eyes of perverts. In reality, as they dread being exposed by their friends or girlfriends, they use possessiveness as an excuse to be secretive and to curtail the opportunities of their current girlfriends from discovering the truth about their true identities. Clueless about the selfish and self-centered motivation of the male partners, the women continue to bask in the attention they are receiving, which they often misunderstand as true love or genuine affection.”

“Cascada părea ruptă dintr-o poveste, uşor ascunsă de desişul pădurii. În spatele ei se ascundea o mică grotă. Numai un „obişnuit al locului“ ar fi putut să ştie de existenţa ei. Iar Brian ştia. Au intrat acolo. Arăta ca un cuibuşor de nebunii. Ea ar fi vrut să spună ceva, dar a tăcut.

“Case (Keenum) is going to be the quarterback. We’re going to give him a chance to see how he can perform. I think the jury is still out. He’s got a lot of ability. He’s shown some flashes of brilliance and then he’s shown some rookie mistakes. We’ve got to see if we can improve, eliminate those mistakes, minimize those mistakes and continue some of the outstanding play that (we’ve) seen and see whether we think that he can be a starting quarterback in the NFL. At this point, we really don’t know.”

He was practicing masturbation on him and thereupon putting the tramp's penis into his mouth.”

“Case...is an impressively crafted protagonist who stands strongly at the center of the action. At first, he seems an unlikely hero, but his dogged observational skills and skeptical nature make him a valuable investigator...
Eshleman proves to be an adept writer of action scenes, but what makes his work stand out are his hyperrealistic treatments of diving and marine life.
An...engaging action novel, bolstered by its exotic location and realistic protagonist.”
“Case of Johnson v. M'Intosh is continued to be cited today by the Supreme Court. Even Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the most liberal member of the court, in footnote one of opinion she wrote several years ago involving the Oneida Nation cites the Doctrine of Discovery. The court never questions it.”

“Cases of sickness made up a very small percentage which in my opinion was normal. However, propaganda pamphlets dropped from aircraft were telling the workers to feign illness, and detailed instructions were given to them on how to do it.”
“Cases of typhoid take the following course:
When the fever is at its height, life calls out to the patient: calls out to him as he wanders in his distant dream, and summons him in no uncertain voice. The harsh, imperious call reaches the spirit on that remote path that leads into the shadows, the coolness and peace. He hears the call of life, the clear, fresh, mocking summons to return to that distant scene which he had already left so far behind him, and already forgotten. And there may well up in him something like a feeling of same for a neglected duty; a sense of renewed energy, courage, and hope; he may recognize a bond existing still between him and that stirring, colourful, callous existence which he thought he had left so far behind him. Then, how far he may have wandered on his distant path, he will turn back--and live. But if he shudders when he hears life's voice, if the memory of that vanished scene and the sound of that lusty summons make him shake his head, make him put out his hand to ward off as he flies forward in the way of escape that has opened to him--then it is clear that the patient will die.

“Casey glanced at her plate again, recalling the posters of her elementary school lunchroom: YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT. So, how much you ate indicated the quantity of your desire. Walter was also implying that how quickly you got your food revealed the likelihood of achieving your goals. She was in fact terribly hungry, but she'd pretended to be otherwise to be ladylike and had moved away from the table to be agreeable, and now she'd continue to be hungry" (Free Food For Millionaires, p.92.)”
