“Grieving, if aught inanimate e'er grieves, Over the unreturning brave.”
Source: CHILDE HAROLD'S PILGRIMAGE
“Grieving, like being blind, is a strange business; you have to learn how to do it. We seek company in mourning, but after the early bursts of tears, after the praises have been spoken, and the good days remembered, and the lament cried, and the grave closed, there is no company in grief. It is a burden borne alone.”
“Griffin Bell later apologized to me for that decision.”
“Griffin Dunne and I were both terrified that Martin Scorsese didn't think we were very good - and if he didn't think we were very good, that was it. That was the end of the line. If Martin Scorsese thinks you stink, you stink.”
“Griffin Hansbury, who was born female but underwent a sex change after graduating from college, has another well-informed view of the powers of testosterone. “The world just changes,” he said. “The most overwhelming feeling was the incredible increase in libido and change in the way I perceived women.” Before the hormone treatments, Hansbury said, an attractive woman in the street would provoke an internal narrative: “She’s attractive. I’d like to meet her.” But after the injections, no more narrative. Any attractive quality in a woman, “nice ankles or something,” was enough to “flood my mind with aggressive pornographic images, just one after another…Everything I looked at, everything I touched turned to sex.” He concluded, “I felt like a monster a lot of the time. It made me understand men. It made me understand adolescent boys a lot.”
“Griffin leaned across the desk, his arms braced on the now-clear top, and stared into Wakefield’s outraged eyes. “We seem to be under a confusion of communication. I did not come here to ask for your sister’s hand. I came to tell you I will marry Hero, with or without your permission, Your Grace. She has lain with me more than once. She may well be carrying my child. And if you think that I’ll give up either her or our babe, you have not done nearly enough research into my character or history.”
“Griffin: Morning, my beautiful girl. Why did the sperm cross the road?
A few seconds later, a second text came in.
Griffin: Because I put on the wrong sock this morning.”
“Griffin pensò a quante volte nella sua vita erano volati via centoventi minuti senza che lui se ne accorgesse. Quando faceva l'amore con Kira, o quando assisteva alla partita dei Giants il tempo correva. Il tempo non e mai costante, pensò, è un elastico che flette secondo ciò che stiamo vivendo. Per questo si preoccupò.”

“Griffin stared at me, his expression grave. "There are only three things both light and dark exiles have in common. They despise each other, they hate grigori, and they place no value on the casualties of their brutal wars."
Excellent news. Not only was I apparently some weird angel-human combo, but I already had myself a badass immortal enemy.”

“Griffin, my brother, 11 months younger, was sometimes the victim of my father's fury - once Ryan famously knocked out his teeth.”
“Griffin, please,” she whispered. “Do you want me?” he asked. “Yes!” She tossed her head restlessly. She’d explode if he didn’t give her release soon. “Do you need me?” He kissed her nipple too gently. “Please, please, please.” “Do you love me?” And somehow, despite her extremis, she saw the gaping hole of the trap. She peered up at him blindly in the dark. She couldn’t see his face, his expression. “Griffin,” she sighed hopelessly. “You can’t say it, can you?” he whispered. “Can’t admit it either.”
“Griffith, verilerini 'Journal of Hygiene' diye adını kimsenin duymamışlığı konusunda Mendel'i bile kıskandıracak bir dergide yayımladı. Süklüm püklüm bir tonla yazan Griffith, sanki genetik bilimi köklerinden sarstığı için özür diler gibiydi. Çalışmasında transformasyondan mikrobiyolojideki hoş bir ilginçlik gibi bahsediyor, ama kalıtımın kimyasal temelini keşfetmiş olabileceğine hiç değinmiyordu. Son on yılın en önemli biyokimya makalesinin en önemli sonucu, ağır metin yığının altında nazik bir öksürük gibi boğulup gitti.”

“Grigsby's marvelous exploration-a deep, wide, and beautiful inquiry into Sojourner Truth's use of technology-features more of her photographs than have ever been collected before. Among its many insights, I especially relished the analysis of Truth's illiteracy. Enduring Truths is art history with a wide-ranging concept of history left in. A terrific book, and one we've needed for a long time.”
“Griješim li prema sebi, tada sam prema drugima prav. Prema njima griješim li, pravdu prema sebi ispunjam.
Šta je onda istina, reci mi, Bože moj.”
“Grilled cheese and tomato soup is the ultimate comfort meal.”
“Grilled G's was her husband's last gift to her before he left. He created it to stand out in a line of food trucks, drawing customers to the popular menu of gourmet grilled cheeses- ranging from a classic American cheese on crisp, buttery Italian bread to a rustic combo of creamy Brie, arugula, and prosciutto on a seed-studded multigrain. She even served a grilled peanut butter and jelly (made with coconut oil instead of butter) for dairy-intolerant customers.”

"Rip my arms off," Polyphemus repeated.

“Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front;
And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds
To fright the souls of fearful adversaries,
He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber
To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.”
“Grima explained that the primary tool in establishing Malta's prehistoric chronology had been radiocarbon-dating (based on the rate of decay of C-14 stored in all formerly living matter). My views about C-14 are on the record. I think it should be only one amongst several tools and techniques brought to bear on the dating of megalithic or rock-hewn sites. It is a truism, but worth repeating nevertheless, that C-14 cannot date stone -- only such organic materials as are found around or in association with stone ruins. It is an assumption (more or less safe depending on the stratigraphy and general circumstances of the site but still, at the end of the day, an assumption) that organic materials found close to megalith B or trilithon A or dolmen C, etc., do in fact date from the same period as the quarrying and erection of the megaliths concerned.”

“Grimmig verdrängt sie Slashs Abgang und dreht sich zu ihrem neuen Lehrer um. »War es denn nötig, dass du ihn auf die Palme bringst?«
Sein Grinsen wird so breit, dass sie glaubt, seine gesamten Zähne zu sehen. »Ja. Ich muss sagen, es hat mir Spaß gemacht.«
Dabei klingt er wie ein kleiner Junge, der gerade über ein neues Spielzeug berichtet, das er gewonnen hat.
»Das heißt, ihr zwei könnt euch nicht leiden und du wolltest deine Scherze mit ihm treiben?«
Nun blickt er sie empört an. »Aber nein, ich mag Slash. Trotzdem finde ich es witzig, ihn etwas zu erhitzen, wie man so schön sagt. Einmal haben Sky und ich sogar gewettet, wer ihn zuerst zum Ausrasten bringen kann.« Bei seinen Worten lacht er schallend, führt seine Erinnerung aber nicht näher aus.
»In der Zwischenzeit haben wir eine Strichliste, um unsere Anzahl hin und wieder zu vergleichen.«
»Das ist ein Scherz, oder?«
Melo zuckt feixend mit den Schultern. »Er braucht das. Ein wenig Feuer und Aufregung tut unserem Slash ganz gut.«”

You can't win herein,

“Grinding his teeth, he shoved his hands into the sudsy water and splashed it onto his face. Steam drifted above the pale suds, thin and insubstantial before dissipating. The scalding water burned his face, but the pain was worth it. It tethered him to reality and the reminder that he could not fail. Not again.
Please, please give me courage.
It was his heart’s cry and his soul’s plea. He needed the courage to stand strong. Needed the courage to speak up.”

“GRINNING, DUCKING MY HEAD FOR BALANCE, I START TO SPIN WILDLY AS I CAN. THAT IS MY FAVORITE DANCE, BECAUSE IT CONTAINS A SECRET. THE FASTER I TWIRL, THE MORE I AM STILL INSIDE. MY DANCE IS ALL MOTION WITHOUT, ALL SILENCE WITHIN. AS MUCH AS I LOVE TO MAKE MUSIC, IT'S THE UNHEARD MUSIC THAT NEVER DIES. AND SILENCE IS MY REAL DANCE, THOUGH IT NEVER MOVES. IT STANDS ASIDE, MY CHOREOGRAPHER OF GRACE, AND BLESSES EACH FINGER AND TOE.”
“Grip’s favorite painting didn’t contain a single figure. 'Seven A.M.' showed distant trees on one side, and on the other a storefront that time had passed by. So still. Some kind of story could probably be told, but one refrained from asking questions. The light and shadows convinced the viewer to exist in the moment. Hopper had drawn sharp lines where the sun cast shadows on the white walls inside the window, while outside the ground gleamed like warm sand. The hands of an old wall clock suggested that the time was seven. Someone who should have been there was somewhere else. Yet nothing was missing. With the morning light streaming down on the ground and in through the window, time might as well have stopped—so the clock always stood at seven.
Just like that, a place where nothing ever changes.”
