whatever he wants
Instead
he lets himself be ugly
so the image can stay
pristine
- Dorian Grey”

“I warned you I'd overstep," he muttered. "I apologize."
"No," Phoebe said curtly, surprising him. "I wanted your opinion. You've made some points worth considering."
West's head lifted, and he looked at her with unconcealed surprise. He'd fully expected her to give him a sharp set-down, or simply turn on her heel and walk off. Instead, Phoebe had set aside her pride long enough to listen to him, which few women of her rank would have done.
"Although next time you might try a gentler manner," she said. "It usually helps criticism go down easier."
Staring into her silver eyes was like drowning in moonlight. West found himself at a complete loss for words.
They were within arms' reach of each other. How had that happened? Had he moved closer, or had she?
His voice was a husk of sound as he managed a reply. "Yes. I... I'll be gentle next time." That hadn't sounded right. "Gentler. With you. Or... anyone." None of that sounded right, either. "It wasn't criticism," he added. "Just helpful hints." Christ. His thoughts were in a heap.

And, furthermore," he cackled, hopping around gleefully on his stubby legs, "I'll steal your sense of purpose, take your sense of duty, destroy your sense of proportion — and, but for one thing, you'd be helpless yet."
"What's that?" asked Milo fearfully.
"As long as you have the sound of laughter," he groaned unhappily, "I cannot take your sense of humor — and, with it, you've nothing to fear from me.”

“I warung, spiegasti, sono come i nostri chioschi in Grecia, che vendono a buon mercato qualsiasi cosa, da bevande, penne e giornali, a shampoo, aspirine e servizi telefonici.
Ti potrebbe sorprendere sentire che la Bukalapak, un’azienda cloudalista indonesiana, sta rilevando oltre tre milioni e mezzo di warung, digitalizzando i loro servizi con l’obiettivo non solo di trasferire sul cloud i loro multiformi mercati locali, ma anche di finanziarizzare le comunità locali che dipendono da loro attraverso microcrediti usurari, costosi trasferimenti di contanti digitali e servizi bancari di base. Mai troppo lento a capire, Jeff Bezos ha inviato la Jeff Bezos Expeditions in Indonesia e nel 2021 ha iniziato a investire in un concorrente della Bukalapak.”
