“Gerald's arm rose and fell the same way to any song he led, no matter the time signature. He had a nasal twang when he spoke and sang, like a younger Grandpa Jones, but his pitch wasn't bad and he seemed to enjoy song-leading. His job was to get everybody started at the same place and everybody stopped when the song was over, but whatever happened in the middle was up to God and the congregation.”

“Geralt knew that, in moments like this, the enchantress’s telepathic abilities were sharpened and very powerful, so he thought about beautiful matters and beautiful things. About things which would give her joy. About the exploding brightness of the sunrise. About fog suspended over a mountain lake at dawn. About crystal waterfalls, with salmon leaping up them, gleaming as though made of solid silver. About warm drops of rain hitting burdock leaves, heavy with dew.
He thought for her and Yennefer smiled, listening to his thoughts. The smile quivered on her cheek along with the crescent shadows of her eyelashes.”

“Gerard drove her to the train station in New Port Sound last evening. Something about shooting with flamingos. Oh, I do hope she meant with cameras and not guns. Henry, do people actually hunt flamingos? I suppose they would be easy to spot. Perhaps that’s what pink camo is for. Oh, dear…” - Aunt Edith”

“Gerard Houllier's thoughts on the matter international football echo mine. He thinks that what the national coaches are doing is like taking the car from his garage without even asking permission. They will then use the car for ten days and abandon it in a field without any petrol left in the tank. We then have to recover it, but it is broken down. Then a month later they will come to take your car again, and for good measure you're expected to be nice about it.”
“Gerard is an open-minded and passionate man. I am the opposite: stubborn and stupid. But sometimes stupid behaviour makes you win.”
“Gerard Manley Hopkins somewhere describes how he mesmerized a duck by drawing a line of chalk out in front of it. Think of me as the duck; the chalk, softly wearing itself away against the tiny pebbles embedded in the corporate concrete, is Joyce's forward-luring rough-smooth voice on the cassettes she gives me. Or, to substitute another image, since one is hardly sufficient in Joyce's case, when I let myself really enter her tape, when I let it surround me, it is as if I'm sunk into the pond of what she is saying, as if I'm some kind of patient, cruising amphibian, drifting in black water, entirely submerged except for my eyes, which blink every so often. Each word comes floating up to me like a thick, healthy lily pad and brushes past my head.”

“Gerard's spirit animal is a gazelle - that's how he's always answered - Frankie would definitely be a wolverine, I would be a shark because of my inability to sit still, and Ray? Ray would be... I'm thinking super intelligent, super articulate, I would think owl.”
“Gerbert, by the window, shuddered; his mouth contorted. The witch began to twist faster and faster while her twin was talking to Gisela, mumbling to her, marching old holy words straight through the child’s ear into her skull, where they entered the bloodstream and looked for the enemy. The monk’s fingers twitched in the same rhythm and he found himself falling into a trance. He knew it would be dangerous to witness the witches brewing and dancing but there was an energy in it that he’d missed badly since he’d been asked to educate the young princess. Gerbert didn’t even notice when the hags stopped, tucked the girl in, rubbed the concoction on her lips and left for the unseen place from which they had come. Gisela healed quickly thereafter: The fever fell that same night and she asked for solid food the next morning. She had no memory of what had happened, but when she bounced on one leg across the meadow in the castle yard, she chanted a little melody that had not been heard in church, an odd melody that made Gerbert’s ears prick up because he sensed the uncanny in it.”

“Gerdanlouk, he thinks. An evocative Turkish word, with Arabic roots. It means jewelry, but only jewelry adorning a woman between her lower neck and the top of her breasts. Gerdanlouk. He looks away.”

“Gerhard Schröder offered a clear German NEIN to an American president's war of aggression that was in violation of international law. That took courage. Ms. Merkel did not join him at the time. If Trump now begins to take the wrecking ball to our set of values, we must say clearly: That is not our approach.”
“Geri dönmüyor yapraklar yerine, kapanmıyor yaralar, açık herşey bu üzüntü bedeninde, yeniden varolduğu- nu mu sanmalıyız yaprakların? Bir ansıma penceresi asla diye yanıtlar; arzusu kış çıplaklığıdır, uzlaşmacı örtünme değil, yalın bir şimdilenmesidir üşümenin. Utanç sıcaklığı değil hiçbir zaman.”

“Geriatric or other life extension for the powerful poses a similar threat to a sentient species as that found historically in the dominance of a self-perpetuating bureaucracy. Both assume prerogatives of immortality, collecting more and more power with each passing moment. This is power which draws a theological aura about itself: the unassailable Law, the God-given mandate of the leader, manifest destiny. Power held too long within a narrow framework moves farther and farther away from the adaptive demands of changed conditions. The leadership grows ever more paranoid, suspicious of inventive adaptations to change, fearfully protective of personal power and, in the terrified avoidance of what it sees as risk, blindly leads its people into destruction.

“Geric," she called. He turned back around. "What kind of flowers were they?" "I don't rightly know," he said. He made faltering gestures with his hands, forming their size and shape from the air. "They were yellow, and smallish, and had lots of petals." "Thank you," she said. "They were beautiful.”

“Geride bıraktığın izler o kadar önemli ki, geride bıraktığın yanlış bir iz bin tane daha yanlış iz yaratabilir!”
“Geride bırakılmış olmanız, geri kaldığınız anlamına gelmez.
Siz ne vaktinizi boşa harcadınız ne de hayatı kaçırdınız.
Her şey olması gereken zamanda, olması gerektiği gibi yaşanıyor.
Dün olması gereken her şey dün oldu, bugünküler de bugün.”

“Gerilimden sarhoşa dönen, sessizliğin mucizevi derinliğinden etkilenen ve ölüm tutkusuyla kenetlenmiş kalabalığı hiçbir şeyin yerinden kıpırdatamayacağına inanan Jose Arcadio Segundo, ayaklarının ucuna basarak, başını önündekilerden daha yukarı kaldırdı ve ömründe ilk kez sesini yükseltti:
-Sizi gidi hergeleler! diye bağırdı.
-Verdiğiniz o bir dakikayı alın da kıçınıza sokun!
Onun bağırmasından sonra olanlar kimseyi korkutmadı. Herkes hayal gördüğünü sandı. Yüzbaşı ateş emri verdi ve on dört makineli tüfek o anda emri yerine getirdi. Ama bütün bunlar gülünç bir oyun gibi görünüyordu. Sanki makineli tüfeklere boş kapsül doldurulmuş gibiydi. Çünkü tüfeklerin tarrakası duyulduğu ve ardı kesilmeden kurşun tükürdüğü görüldüğü halde, kalabalıkta en ufak bir tepki yoktu. Bir anda taş kesilmiş gibi duran kalabalıktan ne bir ses, ne bir soluk duyuluyordu. Birden istasyon tarafından yükselen bir ölüm çığlığı büyüyü bozdu. Duyulan, Aaah, anacığım, avazesi yeri göğü titreten bir ses, volkanik bir soluk, dünyalar değiştiren bir kükreme olup bomba gibi patladı kalabalığın ortasında. Panik içinde bir anda kaynaşan kalabalık, kadınla kucağındaki çocuğu yutup sürüklerken, Jose Arcadio Segundo, ancak öteki çocuğu yakalamaya fırsat bulabildi. Yıllarca sonra o çocuk, kendisini bunak bir ihtiyar yerine koymalarına aldırmaksızın o günü anlatacak, Jose Arcadio Segundo'nun kendisini nasıl havaya kaldırdığını, kalabalığın dehşeti üzerinden yüzercesine geçirerek yakındaki bir sokağa nasıl götürdüğünü ballandıra ballandıra anlatacaktı. Çocuk, herkesten yukarıda olduğu için, o anda alandaki çılgına dönmüş kitlenin köşeye doğru koşuştuğunu ve makinelilerin ateş açtığını görebilmiş, aynı anda birkaç kişinin birden, -Yere yatın! Yere yatın! diye bağırdıklarını duyabilmişti.
Öndekiler, ilk kurşun dalgasıyla taranmış ve yere yıkılmışlardı bile. Sağ kalanlar yere yatacakları yerde ufak alana çekilmeye çalıştılar. Ne var ki, karşı sokaktaki makineliler de yaylım ateşine başlamışlardı. İki ateş arasında sıkışan kalabalık, iki yöne atılan bir ejder kuyruğuna benziyordu. Kitle devasa bir girdap gibi dönmeye başladı. Hiç kesilmeyen makinelilerin ateşiyle kat kat soyulan soğan gibi ortaya doğru azalıyorlardı. Çocuk, açıkta diz çökmüş bir kadının, gizemli bir güçle kurşunlardan korunarak, kollarını haç biçiminde tuttuğunu gördü. Jose Arcadio Segundo yüzü kana bulanarak yere yıkıldığı anda, çocuğu oraya bıraktı. Hemen sonra da büyük kalabalık, o boşluğu, diz çöken kadını, kurak gökyüzündeki ışığı, Ursula Iguara'nın yığın yığın hayvan biçiminde şekerleme sattığı bu orospu dünyayı örtüverdi.”

“Gerir uma empresa com trabalhadores que não têm horário, que se limitam a ligar uma aplicação quando querem trabalhar e que concorrem com outros trabalhadores para qualquer trabalho que esteja disponível exige um poderoso conjunto de algoritmos, para assegurar que a oferta de trabalhadores e de clientes se mantenha num equilíbrio dinâmico.”

“German accents and Hassidic accents aren't that romantic. They're more harsh. Although Hebrew, when spoken by certain people, sounds beautiful. There's this beautiful woman I know who speaks Hebrew, and when she speaks, it's so attractive. Maybe it's who's speaking it.”

“German businesspeople have invested a great deal in our country, and trade is flourishing. We want to speed up economic cooperation. Your country is a large, important provider of aid, and it has done a great deal to reduce the poverty of many Vietnamese.”
“German can take a lot more pathos than English can. When you say "pathetic" in English it's a disparaging term, but when you say "pathetisch" in German it's just a description, not necessarily negative. That says a lot already.”
“German Chancellor Angela Merkel faces a critical test in her political career. Merkel has been under increasing pressure over the European migrant crisis, and recent polls suggest Angela Merkel, who's been the German leader for more than a decade, could lose an election in her political home state.”
“German civility, which often seems stiff to us, shows an attentive and touching respect for the person that I often prefer to our offhandedness.”
“German diligence is actually endurance.”
“German dominance in the EU is a fact of life. But for historical reasons, it would be the last country to be swept away by a populist wave. And one thing is certain: If Germany goes down, Europe goes down, and with it all the values which we thought are worth living for. Germany has to be the champion of these values.”
“German economic salvation has been brought about solely through the efforts of the German people and the experience they have gained. Countries abroad have contributed nothing to this.”

“German history is full of serious mistakes pertaining to premature personnel decisions.”
“German in the most extravagantly ugly language - it sounds like someone using a sick bag on a 747.”
“German is a much more precise language than English. Americans throw the word love around for everything: I love my wife! I love all my friends! I love rock music! I love the rain! I love comic books! I love peanut butter!
The word you use to describe your feelings for your wife should not be the same word you use to describe your feelings for peanut butter. In German, there are a dozen different words that describe varying degrees of liking something a lot. Germans almost never use the word love, unless they mean a deep romantic love. I have never told my parents I love them, because it would sound melodramatic, inappropriate, and almost incestuous. In German, you tell your mother that you hold her very dear, not that you are in love with her.”

“German is for learning while English is for entertainment only.”
“German is my mother tongue and as such more natural to me, but I consider Czech much more affectionate, which is why your letter removes several uncertainties; I see you more clearly, the movements of your body, your hands, so quick, so resolute, it’s almost like a meeting.”
