“Eradications are special. Zero is a magic number. You either do what it takes to get to zero and you're glad you did it; or you get close, give up and it goes back to where it was before, in which case you wasted all that credibility, activity, money that could have been applied to other things.”
“Eragon cried out, and in his desperation he reached for Saphira and the Eldunarí... and without meaning to, he drew from their stories of energy. And with that energy he cast a spell. It was a spell without words... His was a spell of instinct and emotion; language could not contain it.”
“Eragon looked back at him, confused. "I don't understand." "Of course you don't," said Brom impatiently. "That's why I'm teaching you and not the other way around.”

“Erano tornati piano alle loro poltrone nel centro della piazza, e Ralph aveva acceso la sua sigaretta. Gli avrebbe fatto un piacere straordinario partecipare di persona alla modesta festicciola da lei descritta; ma, in mancanza di questo, gli piaceva anche che gli fosse vietata. Per il momento, ad ogni modo, gli piaceva immensamente esser solo con lei, nell’oscurità che s’infittiva, al centro della città affollata; gli sembrava così che lei dipendesse da lui, che fosse in suo potere. Era un potere che non poteva esercitare che vagamente; il miglior modo di esercitarlo era accettare remissivamente le decisioni di lei: a fare la qual cosa, tuttavia, provava già una certa emozione.”

“Erano un piccolo popolo e dovevano combattere contro nemici sempre soverchianti: che fossero tre o sette volte più numerosi faceva poca differenza. [...]
Nessun altro esercito nella storia ha preso così a cuore la piena dignità degli esonerati. Non tacciarono di vile, di imboscato chi restava a casa, gli prescrissero invece di essere felice prima di essere soldato. Garantirono inoltre il diritto alla paura fisica e rispettarono il rifiuto del cuore di spargere sangue.”

“Erase all traces of the word patriotism from your psyche and saturate every pour of your mind with the word people - close your eyes, breathe in the word people - let it reach every corner of your soul - let it penetrate into the length and breadth of your entire being - fill your lungs with people, fill your heart with people, fill your veins with people - now open your eyes and look at the world - what do you see - do you see any separation - you don't, for you no longer exist as you, but every bit of your self has been saturated with an uncorrupted concern for the people - and that my friend is patriotism of a civilized world.”

Live every day to the fullest and savor every minute of it.”

“Erasmus dramatizes a well-established political position: that of the fool who claims license to criticize all and sundry without reprisal, since his madness defines him as not fully a person and therefore not a political being with political desires and ambitions. The Praise of Folly, therefore sketches the possibility of a position for the critic of the scene of political rivalry, a position not simply impartial between the rivals but also, by self-definition, off the stage of rivalry altogether.”
“Erasmus, nişan almamasına rağmen hedefi hep ortasından vurur. Özgür ve önyargısız bir kafanın hiç kimseye aldırmaksızın elini değdirdiği her şey, artık çoktan ekimiş tasarımların kafesinde yaşayan bir dünya için yepyeni bir görünüm kazanır. Çünkü bağımsız düşünebilen kişi, aynı zamanda başkaları için de en iyi ve en destekleyici biçimde düşünmüş olur." (Rotterdamlı Erasmus, s.58)”
“Erasmus’s Bible-saturated mind. His was a mind too broad for fundamentalism, which rejects reason, and too honest for intellectualism, which rejects revelation.”

“Erasmus was the light of his century; others were its strength: he lighted the way; others knew how to walk on it while he himselfremained in the shadow as the source of light always does. But he who points the way into a new era is no less worthy of veneration than he who is the first to enter it; those who work invisibly have also accomplished a feat.”
“Erasure is as important as writing. Prune what is turgid, elevate what is commonplace, arrange what is disorderly, introduce rhythm where the language is harsh, modify where it is too absolute. . . . The best method of correction is to put aside for a time what we have written, so that when we come to it again it may have an aspect of novelty, as of being another man's work; in this way we may preserve ourselves from regarding our writings with the affection that we lavish upon a newborn child.”

“Erasures are interesting to me because they prove what particular sieves we all are.”
“Eratosthenes declares that it is no longer necessary to inquire as to the cause of the overflow of the Nile, since we know definitely that men have come to the sources of the Nile and have observed the rains there.”
“Eratosthenes was the director of the great library of Alexandria, the Centre of science and learning in the ancient world. Aristotle had argued that humanity was divided into Greeks and everybody else, whom he called barbarians and that the Greeks should keep themselves racially pure. He thought it was fitting for the Greeks to enslave other peoples. But Erathosthenes criticized Aristotle for his blind chauvinism, he believed there was good and bad in every nation.”
“Eratosthenes's only tools were sticks, eyes, feet, and brains; plus a zest for experiment. With those tools he correctly deduced the circumference of the Earth, to high precision, with an error of only a few percent. That's pretty good figuring for 2200 years ago.”
“Eratosthenes, the mapmaker who was the first man to accurately measure the size of the Earth, was a librarian.”

“Eravamo adolescenti, bambini superficialmente sofisticati, che non sapevano davvero nulla di come funzionava il mondo - lo stavamo sperimentando, immagino, ma senza averne cognizione. Almeno fino a quando non accadde qualcosa che ci proiettò in uno stato di esaltata consapevolezza.”

“Eravamo insieme, il resto del mondo l'ho scordato”
“Eravamo state meravigliose compagne di viaggio, ma in fondo non eravamo che solitari aggregati metallici che disegnavano ognuno la propria orbita. In lontananza potremmo anche essere belle a vedersi, come stelle cadenti. Ma in realtà non siamo che prigioniere, ognuna confinata nel proprio spazio, senza la possibilità di andare da nessun’altra parte. Quando le orbite dei nostri satelliti per caso si incrociano, le nostre facce si incontrano. E forse, chissà, anche le nostre anime vengono a contatto. Ma questo non dura che un attimo. Un istante dopo, ci ritroviamo ognuna nella propria assoluta solitudine. Fino al giorno in cui bruceremo e saremo completamente azzerate.”
“Erdogan’s success has been to divide the groups that oppose him, by extending an olive branch to one while persecuting or prosecuting the other. The fault of Erdogan’s detractors is that they were never unified: when Erdogan cracked down on the secularists, the liberals and the Gulenists helped him. When he beat up the liberals, the Gulenists and the Kurds stood away. When he went after the Gulenists, the Kurds looked the other way, and the secularists basked in Schadenfreude. Once Erdogan came down on the Kurds, allies were either on the run themselves or too cowed to speak up.”
