“Devenir une femme est un parcours semé d'humiliations. Face à la police, face à la justice comme dans l'espace public, être une femme est un inconvénient. Comme l'écrivait le romancier turc Livaneli dans son roman Délivrance (Gallimard), 'dans toute la Méditerranée, la notion d'honneur se situe entre les jambes des femmes.' Un poids bien lourd à porter pour la moitié de la population. Idéalisée, mythifiée, la virginité est évidemment un outil de coercition destiné à garder les femmes chez elles et à exercer sur elles une surveillance de tous les instants. Elle est un objet de préoccupation collective au lieu d'être une question d'ordre privé. Elle est aussi devenue une manne économique pour tous ceux qui pratiquent des dizaines de reconstitutions d'hymen chaque jour et pour certains laboratoires qui commercialisent de faux hymens, censés saigner le jour du rapport sexuel. La misère sexuelle, nous le verrons, est un capitalisme comme un autre.”

“DeVere smiled. "A mistress is a fine thing, Ned, but a married mistress with a compacent husband is the very best bargain. They cost far less tokeep, make fewer demands, and should any inconvenient package arrive, it may easily be presented to the cuckold, an altogether neat arrangement.”

“Devereaux is going with our pitch.”
“Hey, that’s just great,” I said superperkily. “Wendell’s or mine?”
“Yours.”
“But you want to fire me. So fire me.”
“We can’t fire you. They loved you. The head guy, Leonard Daly, thought you were, I quote, ‘a
great kid, very courageous’ and a natural to do a whispering campaign. He said you had
believability.”
“That’s too bad.”
“Why? You’re not quitting!”
I thought about it. “Not if you don’t want me to. Do you?”
Go on, say it.

“No.”
“No what?”
“No, we don’t want you to quit.”
“Ten grand more, two assistants, and charcoal suits. Take it or leave it.”
Ariella swallowed. “Okay to the money, okay to the assistants, but I can’t green-light charcoal
suits. Formula Twelve is Brazilian, we need carnival colors.”
“Charcoal suits or I’m gone.”
“Orange.”
“Charcoal.”
“Orange.”
“Charcoal.”
“Okay, charcoal.”
It was an interesting lesson in power. The only time you truly have it is when you genuinely
don’t care whether you have it or not.
“Right,” I said. “I’m giving myself the rest of the day off.”

“Deveria isto bastar, dizer de alguém como se chama e esperar o resto da vida para saber quem é, se alguma vez o saberemos, pois ser não é ter sido, ter sido não é será, mas outro é o costume, quem foram os pais, onde nasceu, que idade tem, e com isto se julga ficar a saber mais, e às vezes tudo.”

“Devil and God – two sides of the same face.”
“Devil does not bring sinners to Hell with their eyes open: he first blinds them with the malice of their own sins. He thus leads them to eternal perdition. Before we fall into sin, the enemy labours to blind us, that we may not see the evil we do, and the ruin we bring upon ourselves by offending God. After we commit sin, he seeks to make us dumb, that, through shame, we may conceal our guilt in confession.”
“Devil triumphs when good men do nowt”

“Devin rubbed his hands over his face. "Jesus, Jason. I didn't want—"
"No, I know," Jason said, looking up again. "I know you didn't. I wasn't supposed to hear that. I get it. But let me just ask you to do one thing for me. Okay? One thing."
"What?" Devin asked softly.
"Be honest with me," Jason said. "I'm a nice enough guy and I'm a pretty good fuck. But I can't do this if you lie to me. I can't. So if you can't be honest with me, take what you need from me and just…don't make promises you can't keep, we might as well call Redemption tomorrow. Because I won't be able to give you what you want, what you've paid for. In the end, it wouldn't be fair to either of us.”
“Devin, stay back! I've got this!" Heath says as he struggles to break free.
I wave the pearl necklace higher. "It's a nice, sparkly necklace," I say. "So which do you want? Shiny jewelry or a smelly prince?"
The harpy drops Heath to the floor and grabs the jewelry. Heath looks up at me in surprise.
"You're welcome," I say...”

“Devinim olduğu yerde ışık, ışığın olduğu yerde kaçınılmaz biçimde gölge vardır. Hayat ışıkla mümkünse de hayatın anlamı gölgelerde saklı durur. Zamanın ölü doğmuş çocuklarını görürsünüz karaltıların içinde. Sözcükler, suskunluklar, şarkılar, ağıtlar, yeminler, ihanetler, kahkahalar, gözyaşları, sevinçler, hayal kırıklıkları ve yüzler... En çok da yüzler. Neden söz ettiğimi biliyorsunuz. Bütün aşklar küllenir, bütün babalar ölür, bütün hikayeler biter. Birinin yıkıntıların nöbetini tutması gerekir; işte o yüzden, biri hariç, bütün çocuklar büyür.
Gölgesini kaybeden insan, gölgenin kendisine dönüşür.”

“Devising strategies to solve anticipated complexity of problems via strategic management and systemic approach is the heart of a good project design.”
“Devletlerin bir hayat müddeti vardır, hiçbir medeniyet sonsuza kadar devam
edip gitmez. Tarihe bakarsanız, bunu açık şekilde görürsünüz. Mesela,
eski Mısır medeniyeti binlerce sene devam etti ve ortadan kalktı. Onun yerini
eski Yunan, Roma devletleri aldı ama onlar da silindiler. Zaman geçti,
biz geldik, 600 sene devam ettik, ama miadımız dolmuştu ve biz de yıkıldık.
İngiltere ise, imparatorluk olarak, sadece 200 seneye yakın devam edebildi.
Bugünün en kuvvetli devleti Amerika ama, günün birinde o da nihayete
erecek. Reform çabalarının muvaffak olması halinde Osmanlı Devleti'nin yıkılmayacağını,
devam edeceğini söyleyenler çıkmıştır ama ben buna inanmıyorum.
Yıkılışımız en fazla 50 sene gecikirdi, o kadar.”
