“Cada vez que voy a participar en un maratón, paso más o menos por el mismo proceso mental: hasta el kilómetro 30 pienso ‘puede que esta vez haga un buen tiempo’, pero al superar el kilómetro 35 se me va agotando el combustible y empiezo a enfadarme con todo lo que me circunda. Y, al final, me siento exactamente como un coche que sigue corriendo con el depósito vacío. Sin embargo, poco después de dejar de correr, todo lo que he sufrido y todo lo miserable que me he sentido se me olvidan, como si jamás hubieran sucedido, y ya vuelvo a estar decidido a hacerlo mejor la próxima vez. Por más experiencia que adquiera, por más años de edad que acumule, al final siempre se repite lo mismo”.”

“Cada vida tiene un propósito distinto, y algunas personas lo encuentran con más facilidad que otras. La clave, lo más importante que puedes llegar a saber, es que sea cual fuere tu propósito, no es tu única opción. No importa por qué estás aquí, no importa por qué cualquiera de nosotros está aquí: uno nunca está atado al destino. Nunca estás encerrada. Tú tomas tus propias decisiones, Kira, y no puedes dejar que nadie te quite eso nunca.”

“Cada época, cada cultura, cada costume e tradição tem seu próprio estilo, tem sua delicadeza e sua severidade, suas belezas e crueldades, aceitam certos sofrimentos como naturais, sofrem pacientemente certas desgraças. O verdadeiro sofrimento, o verdadeiro inferno da vida humana reside ali onde se chocam duas culturas ou duas religiões. Um homem da antiguidade, que tivesse de viver na Idade Média, haveria de sentir-se tão afogado quanto um selvagem se sentiria em nossa civilização. Há momentos em que toda uma geração cai entre dois estilos de vida, e toda evidência, toda moral, toda salvação e inocência ficam perdidos para ela. Naturalmente isso não nos atinge da mesma maneira.”

“Cada época possui suas enfermidades fundamentais. Desse modo, temos uma época bacterológica, que chegou ao seu fim com a descoberta dos antibióticos. Apesar do medo imenso que temos hoje de uma pandemia gripal, não vivemos numa época viral. Graças à técnica imunológica, já deixamos para trás essa época. Visto a partir da perspectiva patológica, o começo do século XXI não é definido como bacteriológico nem viral, mas neuronal. Doenças neuronais como a depressão, transtorno de déficit de atenção com síndrome de hiperatividade (TDAH), transtorno de personalidade limítrofe (TPL) ou a síndrome de burnout (SB) determinam a paisagem patológica do começo do século XXI. Não são infecções, mas enfartos, provocados não pela negatividade de algo imunologicamente diverso, mas pelo excesso de positividade. Assim, eles escapam a qualquer técnica imunológica, que tem a função de afastar a negatividade daquilo que é estranho.”

“Caddelerde ve ekranlarda; gazetelerde ve kitaplarda; kürsülerde ve minberlerde -özellikle de minberlerde- tüm gayretleriyle beni kurtarmaya hazır ve sanki şimdiden harekete geçmiş görüyorum bu insanları. Benim kurtarılmaya ihtiyaç duyup duymadığımın, onlar için zerre kadar önem taşımadığını görüyorum. Bu, tarihte bir yenilik: Daha önce hiç bu kadar çok insan, başkaları uğruna, onlar istemeden harekete geçmemişti.”

“Caddy came home on Friday evening. Perfectly Harmless Patrick brought her in his battered old car... "Crikey, Caddy!" said Indigo, and he disappeared upstairs to tell Rose. Eve murmured, "Sweet," rather doubtfully. Sarah said, not doubtfully at all, "Horrendous! The worst yet. Rock bottom." "He had a very difficult childhood," said Caddy.... "Who didn't?" asked Saffron unsympathetically. "Gosh, he's ancient, Caddy! Look, he's going bald! All that long trailing stuff is just a disguise!" "If I was going bald," said Sarah, "I would face the fact and have it all shaved off." "Well, I thought Mummy would like him," said Caddy defensively. "...Anyway, I can always take him back." "I think you're going to have to, Caddy darling," said Eve... "Hello, Rose darling! Come in and see what Caddy has brought home to show us!" She escaped, and Rose, who had already heard the news from Indigo, glanced at Patrick and began laughing. "See?" said Sarah. "Rose knows! Absolutely rock bottom! You cannot be serious, Caddy!" "Oh, stop looking at him!" said Caddy, uncomfortably. "I'll find something to cover him up with in a minute!" "How long are you leaving him there for?" asked Rose. "Just until Sunday," said Caddy, trying to sound casual. "Till Sunday!" repeated Saffron. "So is Micheal dumped?" "Of course he isn't!" said Caddy indignantly. "I've never dumped anyone!" "Start!" said Saffron. "Otherwise they just pile up, taking up the sofas...”

“Cade released her slowly, running his hand over her hip, and patting her on the butt. Her cheeks heated. She owed him an apology. She cleared her throat, and with difficulty managed, "I can be pushy---" "You think?" He cut her no slack. "I came on too strong. I'm sorry." "I'm not." "You're not?" "We kissed." "A good enough kiss for you to wear a costume?" "You could kiss my entire body, and I'd still pass." His entire body. She'd never considered naked a costume, but it might work for him. She looked him up and down. Licked her lips. Her blush deepened at the thought. She heard Cade swallow. His gaze was hot and dark; his voice deep and husky. "I've never taken a woman in a storeroom before, but there's always a first time.”

“Cade thought about this. “Let me get this straight—you secretly pretend to like poetry to impress the smart girl in your English class, while she’s secretly pretending to like football to impress you.” He paused. “That’s gotta be the cutest fucking thing I’ve ever heard.” “I guess her subconscious finds my subconscious pretty irresistible,” Zach said, all teenage confidence right then. “You were lucky to pull that line off once, Garrity. I wouldn’t push it.”

“Cadence Encounter Conformal Custom provides a quicker turnaround as the result of its exhaustive verification without the use of stimuli, .. Cadence continues to invest in and enhance its Conformal solutions -- the industry's top verification flow and the only complete solution for integrated equivalency checking and functional verification.”

“Cady had drawn a goblet filled with layers of peaches and brown sugar and rum and shortbread crumbs, topped with maple whipped cream. "I love the Scottish shortbread in here. Let's add a cookie to the top." Elliott drew that onto the picture. "I'll make some candied violets for a garnish. It will look spectacular. And since Elliott has now been trained, he can be my sous-chef." Cady smirked. Elliott chuckled and patted Cady on the head. "Nice try. I approve of the candied violets, especially since Jenny will adore that idea." He added some more notations onto the menu. "And let's cut the richness of this meal with a little palate cleanser between the entrée and dessert. How about tipsy oranges?" "Oh. That sounds good. How do you make that?" She leaned closer to him, needing to feel his heat. He pressed his arm against hers, instinctively reacting to her needs. How had this happened so fast? This connection between them? "Easiest thing in the world. Section the orange, drizzle Drambuie on top, sprinkle some brown sugar on there and broil quickly to get the sugar bubbling. Add some fresh mint. A quick, refreshing stop before Cady's decadent dessert.”

“Caesar [from the Rise of the Planet of the Apes] was brought up with human beings and because of the drug he had pretty much grown up with his whole life, he felt like an outsider, he felt trapped in an ape's body but he didn't really feel like an ape and that was my way into the character. So he's always had this duality playing him from an infant all the way to now as a fifty-five year old ape.”

“Caesar Flickerman asks if the president has a date in mind. "Oh, before we set a date, we better clear it with Katniss's mother," says the president. The audience gives a big laugh and the president puts his arm around me. "Maybe if the whole country puts its mind to it, we can get you married before you're thirty." "You'll probably have to pass a new law," I say with a giggle. "If that's what it takes," says the president with conspiratorial good humor. Oh, the fun we two have together.”
