“Herkes Samuray olmak isterdi ama bu o kadar kolay bir iş değildi. Yıllarca ağır eğitimlerden geçmek gerekirdi. Üstelik sadece katana, ok, mızrak gibi savaş aletlerini çok iyi kullanmak ve iyi dövüşmek de yeterli değildi. Bir Samuray olabilmek için aynı zamanda edebiyat, müzik, şiir, resim, gibi sanat dallarında da ustalaşmak gerekirdi.”

“Herkes senden, durumuna, geldiğin yere, yetiştirilme tarzına, ırkına, ya da diğer değerlerine ve değersizliklerine göre davranmanı ve bunlara uygun biri olmanı bekler. Olma. İnsanları değiştiremezsin. Çünkü her zaman bir bahane bulacaklar ve inan bana, bir noktada kötü olan hep sen olacaksın. Saf salak gibi kötü olma, kendin olmak kötü olmaksa, kötü olmanın hakkını ver de ol bari.”

“Herkesin bildiği fotoğraflar, artık bir toplumun hakkında düşünmeyi seçtiği ya da düşünmeyi seçtiğini ilan ettiği şeylerin bütünleyici bir parçasıdır. Toplum bu fikirleri 'hafıza' olarak adlandırır ve onların toplamı da uzun vadede bir 'kurgu'ya dönüşür. Daha kesin bir dille konuşursak, kolektif hafıza diye bir şey yoktur -kolektif hafıza, tıpkı kolektif suç kavramı gibi aynı düzmece fikirler familyasının bir parçasıdır. Ama kolektif eğitim diye bir şey vardır. Bütün hafızalar bireyseldir, başka bir şeye indirgenemez; kişinin kendisiyle birlikte ölüp gider. Kolektif hafıza denen şey, hatırlatıcı değil koşullandırıcı bir olgudur: Bu nokta önemlidir ve bu, zihnimizin deposunda kilitli görüntülerle birlikte, olayların nasıl meydana geldiğinin öyküsüdür. İdeolojiler, anlamlı ortak fikirleri özetleyip kapsül haline getirerek öngörülebilir düşünce ve duyguları harekete geçiren, kanıtlayıcı görüntü arşivleri, temsili görüntüler biriktirirler. Poster olmaya uygun fotoğraflar (bir atom bombası denemesinin bıraktığı mantar bulutu, Washington D.C.' de Lincoln Anıtı'nda konuşan Martin Luther King, Jr. ve ayda yürüyen astronot, vb.) ses yankılarının görsel karşılıklarıdır. Onlar sayesinde -en az posta pulları kadar etkili bir hatıra olarak- Önemli Tarihsel Anlar'ı yad ederiz; gerçekten de, sadece zafer anlarını yansıtan fotoğraflar (atom bombasının resmi) posta pulu haline gelirler. Ne şans ki, Nazi ölüm kamplarından tek bir imzalı fotoğraf çıkmamıştır.”

“Herkesin gözü güllerde kaldı..." diyor vazoyu masanın ortasına yerleştirirken, "Nereden bulursun böyle güzel çiçekleri?" "Kurtuluş'un girişindeki mezarlıktan." İskemleye oturmak üzereyken bir an duruyor. Sözlerimin gerçek olabileceğini sanıyor. Evgenia böyledir işte. Birini sevmişse onun her söylediğine inanmaya meyillidir. Ama sesimdeki muzip tını ele veriyor beni. Gözleri yüzümde. Anlıyor şaka yaptığımı, en azından kuşku duyuyor. Başını sallayarak oturuyor tam karşıma.”

“Herman and I have been doing a lot of talking about the cake the past couple of days, and we think we have a good plan for the three tiers. The bottom tier will be the chocolate tier and incorporate the dacquoise component, since that will all provide a good strong structural base. We are doing an homage to the Frango mint, that classic Chicago chocolate that was originally produced at the Marshall Field's department store downtown. We're going to make a deep rich chocolate cake, which will be soaked in fresh-mint simple syrup. The dacquoise will be cocoa based with ground almonds for structure, and will be sandwiched between two layers of a bittersweet chocolate mint ganache, and the whole tier will be enrobed in a mint buttercream. The second tier is an homage to Margie's Candies, an iconic local ice cream parlor famous for its massive sundaes, especially their banana splits. It will be one layer of vanilla cake and one of banana cake, smeared with a thin layer of caramelized pineapple jam and filled with fresh strawberry mousse. We'll cover it in chocolate ganache and then in sweet cream buttercream that will have chopped Luxardo cherries in it for the maraschino-cherry-on-top element. The final layer will be a nod to our own neighborhood, pulling from the traditional flavors that make up classical Jewish baking. The cake will be a walnut cake with hints of cinnamon, and we will do a soaking syrup infused with a little bit of sweet sherry. A thin layer of the thick poppy seed filling we use in our rugelach and hamantaschen, and then a layer of honey-roasted whole apricots and vanilla pastry cream. This will get covered in vanilla buttercream.”

“Herman Cain is probably well liked by some of the Republicans because it hides the racist elements of the Republican Party. Conservative movement and tea party movement... People like Karl Rove liked to keep the racism very covert. And so Herman Cain provides this great opportunity say you can say ‘Look, this is not a racist, anti-immigrant, anti-female, anti-gay movement. Look we have a black man!'” Garofalo hypothesized. “Look he’s polling well and won a straw poll!”

“Herman Melville is not comforting. Emily Dickinson isn’t either. Maybe their work is too hungry for comfort, or just too vivid for comfort. But Henry James is – profoundly so. Because he is tender. The tenderness is there in the structure of the sentence. He knows the way the poor and the dead are forgotten by the living, and he cannot allow that to happen. So he keeps on writing for them, for the dead, as if they were children to be sheltered and loved, never abandoned.”

“Herman Pontzer, an evolutionary anthropologist at Duke, studies health among hunter-gatherer societies whose lifestyles are similar to those of our ancestors. He found that they generally exhibit excellent health in spite of following a wide range of diets. It doesn't matter if they get 80% of their calories from carbohydrates, or from animal fat, or from nuts and berries - almost all eat more fiber than the average American, but that is about the only difference. (This takes the wind out of the paleo diet.) Interestingly, they don't shun sugar, consuming it in the form of honey. Notably they don't have access to processed foods of or deep-fried foods.”

“Herman slipped his hand into mine, and I thought, An average of seventy-four species become extinct every day, which was one good reason but not the only one to hold someone's hand, and the next thing that happened was we kissed each other, and I found I knew how, and I felt happy and sad in equal parts, because I knew that I was falling in love, but it wasn't with him.”

“Hermeneutics is a way of looking at Being as an inheritance that is never considered as ultimate data. Capitalism has always grown by considering, or forcing another to consider, as a 'natural' possession what is inherited. The great dominating families are really the inheritors of the strongest pirates, thieves, and bandits, and they consider themselves entitled to command through a divine or natural law, when they really are only the result of a forgotten 'violence'.”

“Hermes gazed up at the stars. "My dear young cousin, if there's one thing I've learned over the eons, it's that you can't give up on your family, no matter how tempting they make it. It doesn't matter if they hate you, or embarrass you, or simply don't appreciate your genius for inventing the Internet-" "You invented the Internet?" It was my idea, Martha said. Rats are delicious, George said. "It was my idea!" Hermes said. "I mean the Internet, not the rats.”

“Hermes rolled his eyes. "Surely you've seen network TV lately. It's clear they don't know whether they're coming or going. That's because Janus is in charge of programming. He loves ordering new shows and cancelling them after two episodes. God of beginnings and endings, after all. Anyway, I was bringing him some magic doormats, and I was double-parked -" "You have to worry about double-parking?" "Will you let me tell the story?" "Sorry."”

“Hermes's eyes twinkled. "Martha, may I have the first package, please?" Martha opened her mouth ... and kept opening it until it was as wide as my arm. She belched out a stainless steel canister-an old-fashioned lunch box thermos with a black plastic top. The sides of the thermos were enameled with red and yellow Ancient Greek scenes-a hero killing a lion; a hero lifting up Cerberus, the three-headed dog. "That's Hercules," I said. "But how-" "Never question a gift," Hermes chided. "This is a collector's item from Hercules Busts Heads. The first season." "Hercules Busts Heads?" "Great show." Hermes sighed. "Back before Hephaestus-TV was all reality programming. Of course, the thermos would be worth much more if I had the whole lunch box-”

“Hermes smiled. "I knew a boy once ... oh, younger than you by far. A mere baby, really." Here we go again, George said. Always talking about himself. Quiet! Martha snapped. Do you want to get set on vibrate? Hermes ignored them. "One night, when this boy's mother wasn't watching, he sneaked out of their cave and stole some cattle that belonged to Apollo." "Did he get blasted to tiny pieces?" I asked. "Hmm ... no. Actually, everything turned out quite well. To make up for his theft, the boy gave Apollo an instrument he'd invented-a lyre. Apollo was so enchanted with the music that he forgot all about being angry." So what's the moral?" "The moral?" Hermes asked. "Goodness, you act like it's a fable. It's a true story. Does truth have a moral?" "Um ..." "How about this: stealing is not always bad?" "I don't think my mom would like that moral." Rats are delicious, suggested George. What does that have to do with the story? Martha demanded. Nothing, George said. But I'm hungry. "I've got it," Hermes said. "Young people don't always do what they're told, but if they can pull it off and do something wonderful, sometimes they escape punishment. How's that?”
