Da der Wind
an der Glastür rüttelt
lasse ich ihn ein
dann kommt die Sonne
zu dritt halten wir
ein Plauderstündchen

fühlst du dich nicht einsam
so allein?
fragen Wind und Sonne
Letztendlich
sind wir Menschen
doch immer allein sage ich
Wenigstens hat man seine Ruhe, was?
Wir lachen
an diesem frühen Nachmittag”

“Derda’nın derisindeki yarığı tek eliyle bir perde gibi aralayıp, diğeriyle kitabı etine gömdü. Kalpten gelen ve kalbe giden ne varsa, bütün damarları sayfaların arasına sıkıştırıp kitabı kapadı. Ellerini yarıktan çektiği anda Tutunamayanlar’ın pompaladığı kanla Derda hayat buldu. İlk aldığı nefesle şişen göğsüne bakan kızılderili, ameliyat masasının altındaki çöp kutusunun pedalına basıp kapağını açtı ve elindeki kalbi içine attı. Çünkü et, hiçbir işe YARAMAZDI...”

“Deregulated marketplace: a brilliant method by which profits are privatized and losses are socialized.”
“Deregulation created this epidemic of greed which according to the rules of capitalism was OK. Beyond that there was criminal behaviour. There have been no repercussions and it's hard to make your peace with.”
“Deregulation has been, above all else, a means of reducing corporate business's accountability to the public.”
“Deregulation is a popular term that's used across the political spectrum. And it's one of these terms like "choice," that corporate interests have used because they know their focus-group buzzword testing makes it sound like a popular word. Because, who can be against deregulation? Being free, having liberty, not having someone tell you what to do, being deregulated, hey, that sounds great. But deregulation is a non sequitur in the realm of media policy or media regulation. The issue is never regulation versus deregulation; our entire system is built on media policies and subsidies.”
“Deregulation is a transfer of power from the trodden to the treading. It is unsurprising that all conservative parties claim to hate big government.”
“Deregulation is in the process of trashing some of the most prestigious brands in the USA, with Boeing being the biggest name so far.”
“Deregulation is known to lead to dangerous products, injuries and deaths.”
“Deregulation is the government code word for facilitating corporate fraud.”

“Deregulation: It is what greedy corporate business people do. Afterwards people start getting injured and killed in large numbers and then the reality of deregulation emerges to the general public.”

“Derek Bok asks the right question, 'What policies would produce the greatest happiness?' and he gives great and often startling answers, combining his deep knowledge of politics with the new findings of happiness research.”
“Derek Bok's most recent book, Our Underachieving Colleges, is worth scrutinizing. . . . Bok is . . . on solid ground in pointing out that our colleges underachieve in preparing students for citizenship.”
“Derek caught my arm again as I started to move--at this rate, it was going to be as sore as my injured one. "Dog," he said, jerking his chin toward the fenced yard. "It was inside earlier." Expecting to see a Doberman slavering at the fence, I followed his gaze to a little puff of white fur, the kind of dog women stick in their purses. It wasn't even barking, just staring at us, dancing in place. "Oh, my God! It's a killer Pomeranian." I glanced up at Derek. "It's a tough call, but I think you can take him.”

“Derek Jeter is one who played for such a long time, and David Ortiz in Boston is doing it right now.”

“Derek looked at Kylie and half chuckled. "The last time I saw that look from girls, there was a handwritten note on my neighbor's tree house that read 'No boys allowed.' I'll see you. And if I get anything from my computer research, I'll let you know.”
“Derek lunged. He hit me in the shoulder and knocked me to the floor, landing on top of me. His body jerked, like he'd been hit with the spell, and I let out a yelp, struggling to get up, but he held me down, whispering "I'm okay, it's okay" until the words penetrated.”
“Derek picked the spot? Had he been hoping I'd be blinded by the morning sun and stumble off the edge?”

“Derek's breath touched Sara's throat in unsteady urges. "Sometimes," he whispered, "I'm so close to you ... and I'm still not close enough. I want to share your breath ... every beat of your heart."
He cradled her head in both his hands, his mouth hot on her neck. "Sometimes," he murmured, "I want to punish you a little."
"Why?"
"For making me want you until I ache with it. For the way I wake at night just to watch you sleeping." His face was intense and passionate above her, his green eyes sharp in their brightness. "I want you more each time I'm with you. It's a fever that never leaves me. I can't be alone without wondering where you are, when I can have you again." His lips possessed hers in a kiss that was both savage and tender, and she opened to him eagerly.”

“Derek!" she shouted, and realized suddenly that she only had the sheet covering her.
"You were out here running like crazy," he explained, and released his hold. "You didn't hear me when I called your name. I figured something was wrong, so I caught you. What were you running from?"
She felt grateful and embarrassed at the same time. He had pulled her back and saved her from the shadow. She tightened her hold on the sheet, and Derek didn't bother to take his eyes away.
"I thought I heard a woman scream that someone had taken her purse," she lied. "So I came outside to help."
"Like that?" He smirked.
"I sleep in the nude." It was the first thing that came to mind and it was also the worst thing to say. She rolled her eyes at his silly grin. "Look, in an emergency you don't have time to put on clothes.”

“Derek shot me a glance and lobbed another rock. “You know, a few years ago a kid at my church told me I was damned because I’m black. Something about Noah cursing the descendants of Ham. He showed me the Bible passage. I was sort of scared, so I asked my parents about it, and they just laughed at the idea. I remember my father rolling his eyes and saying, ‘Of course you’re not going to hell.’ But then I asked him whether gay people were going to burn, and my dad stopped laughing. He just goes, ‘Are you gay? No? Then don’t worry about it.’ Since then, the whole ‘God hates you and you’re going to hell’ idea has seemed sort of stupid. I don’t know. Seems like Jesus probably likes you and Topher more than He likes the Christians who kill people.”

“Derek stopped short. I smacked into his back—not for the first time, since he insisted on walking in front of me. I'd been tripping on his heels and mumbling apologies the whole way. When I'd slow down to let him get farther ahead, he'd snap at me to keep up.
"We're almost there," Simon said.
He was behind me—sticking to the curbside, walking as close as Derek. While normally I wouldn't complain about Simon being so close, I had the weird sensation of being blocked in.
As we started forward again, I tried dropping back with Tori, who lagged behind, but Simon put his finger on my elbow and steered me back into place.
"Okay," I said. "Something's up. What's with the walking blockade?"
"They're protecting you," Tori said. "Shielding you from the big bad world."”

“Derek Trucks is a real good new artist. He's a young guy.”
“Derek Walcott's poems tidy up a distressed mind. Lyrical and full of breath, they dance to the rhythms of their own coherence. One of the greatest minds of the 20th and 21st centuries, who had an unending and sizzling romance with poetry! His 1992 Nobel Prize in Literature was well anticipated by the rest of us and was well received by the St. Lucian poet, who painted poetry with incandescent colours of supreme authority.”
“Derek's the nicest guy I know. He would never...you know." "He better not...you know!" Hayden bit out.”
“Derek, you just don't say things like that to a woman. Keep going this way and you'll spend your life alone." "Don't change the subject. Andrea is cool. And she smells nice. It will be okay." Apparently I was supposed to sniff people to determine their competence. "How do you know?" He shrugged. "You just have to trust her.”
“Derek? Derek!-Chole Chole! what are you doing out here? i said we will check it out later. key word WE-Derek oh, yeah I decided to come out on my own. thats why i was calling your name repeatively- Chole”
