“Jeder von uns hat zweierlei Geist. Einen wachen Geist und einen schlafenden Geist. Unser wacher Geist ist der, der denkt und spricht. Unser schlafender Geist aber ist viel mächtiger. Er schaut tief in das Herz der Dinge hinein. Das ist der Teil von uns, der träumt. Er erinnert sich an alles. Er verleiht uns die Intuition. Dein wacher Geist versteht das Wesen der Namen nicht. Dein schlafender Geister versteht es durchaus. Er weiß bereits vieles, was dein wacher Geist nicht weiß.”

“Jeder wusste, dass sich in der Königsfamilie und in den Blutlinien der Herzöge und Herzoginnen eine Magie vererbte, die man Herrschaftsmagie nannte. Doch was das für eine Magie war und was das bedeutete, das wusste die einfache Bevölkerung nicht. Vielleicht musste man die Zaubererakademie besucht haben oder ein Adliger sein, um über die verschiedenen Arten von Magie aufgeklärt zu werden. Etwas, was ihm als Gestaltwandler trotz seiner ihm innewohnenden Magie stets verwehrt bleiben würde.”

“Jedermann, selbst der Heilige, ist heute mobilisiert. Gerade das habe ich vielleicht am tiefsten empfunden. Mit jeder Form, die in den Schützengräben umkommt, mit jedem Strich, jeder Metapher und jedem Gebet, das vom Stahl zermalmt wird, verliert das Ewige eine Partie. Da ich mir bewusst bin, mich nicht von meiner Zeit trennen zu können, habe ich beschlossen, eins mit ihr zu sein. Nur deshalb mache ich vom Individuum so viel Aufhebens, weil es mir lächerlich und erniedrigt erscheint. Da ich weiß, dass keine Sache siegen wird, liebe ich die verlorenen”

“Jedes Zuhause ist ein zufälliges: Dort wirst du geboren, hierhin vertrieben, da drüben vermachst du deine Niere der Wissenschaft. Glück hat, wer den Zufall beeinflussen kann. Wer sein Zuhause nicht verlässt, weil er muss, sondern weil er will.”

“Jedha. The Holy City was a sight to behold, a beacon of faith for the entire galaxy, sacred to… well, sacred to just about everyone. Above all, Jedha was a haven. A sanctuary. It was a place to retreat, to reflect and renew. A place where you could discover who you truly were… and who you could become.”

“Jedi do not fight for peace. That's only a slogan, and is as misleading as slogans always are. Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization creates peace. We fight for justice because justice is the fundamental bedrock of civilization: an unjust civilization is built upon sand. It does not long survive a storm.”
“Jedi Masters do not crack up- they just get eccentric.- Luke Skywalker”
“Jedi, understand this: There's nothing fucking worse than knowing that you're just like everybody else. What a messed-up, lousy existence. And in this great country of Japan - the birthplace of all my fancy ancestors - everyone, everyone wants to be like everybody else. That's why it is such a safe place to live, but it's also a dinosaur village. It's extinct, pal. Carve up your piece and invest your spoils elsewhere. You're a young man, and someone should tell you the real truth about this country. Japan is not fucked because it lost the war or did bad things. Japan is fucked because there is no more war, and in peacetime everyone actually wants to be mediocre and is terrified of being different. The other thing is that the elite Japanese want to be English and white. That's pathetic, delusional, and merits another discussion entirely.”

“Jedino šačica čudaka, usamljenih, sličnih nekadašnjim vitezovima, traži idealnu državu, gde vladaju mir, pravda i sreća. Oni ne priznaju da je vreme krug i da treba čekati da se vrati sve što je jednom bilo, pa i Zlatno carstvo; ne priznaju da je ovo doba Kali Juge, boginje sveopšte propasti i razaranja; u tome je njihova nada i njihova hrabrost.”

“Jedna žena je u stanju da iskuša 1000 muškaraca, a 1000 muškaraca ne može dovesti u iskušenje jednu ženu. Jer je ljepota pri ženi, nije pri muškarcu.”
“Jednakże zapytanie o motywy, badani mówili o uget - pozostaje niejasne, czy autorka chce to tłumaczyć jako "przykre uczucie", czy "żal", ale w każdym razie jej zdaniem słowo to sugeruje brzemię, które trzeba nieść, dopóki nie znajdzie się ofiary (nie musi to być sprawca krzywdy) i nie zetnie jej głowy. Rosaldo mówi wyraźnie, że zabijanie nie zawsze wynika z zemsty; często jego powodem jest potrzeba zrzucenia z serca wielkiego ciężaru. Edward Schieffelin (1976; 1985b) opisał podobne reakcje zaobserwowane u przedstawicieli Kaluli z Nowej Gwinei. Członkowie tego ludu czasami reagują na stratęzłością, co znajduje wyraz w katartycznym obrzędzie, podczas któego tancerze śpiewający o stracie i ją opłakujący zostają spaleni przez rozgniewanych widzów. Stratą bywa śmierć lub odejście ukochanej osoby; nie musi jej spowodować konkretny człowiek, by wzbudzić taką reakcję. Krzywda lubstrata prowadzi do pełnego wściekłości tupania, wrzasku i prawgnienia rekompensaty(Schieffelin, 1985a), nawet jeśli nie ma pewności, że ktoś jest za nią odpowiedzialny.”
“Jednom sam, u očajanju, morao da pitam mamu:
"Zašto ljudi ne vole one koji im nikakvo zlo ne čine?"
- "Zato sine, što ti dobri ne liče na njih ostale", odgovorila mi mama, bez premišljanja.
"Pa, ipak, mama, neće biti da su svi ljudi zli.", rekao sam prilično ubeđeno.
Mama je ćutala i ja sam to ćutanje zapamtio. Oca nisam o tome pitao jer sam se plašio njegovog odgovora.”

“Jednym z przekleństw naszego życia, jednym z przekleństw naszego budownictwa państwowego jest to, żeśmy się podzielili na kilka rodzajów Polaków, że mówimy jednym polskim językiem, a inaczej nawet polskie słowa rozumiemy, żeśmy wychowali wśród siebie Polaków różnych gatunków, Polaków z trudnością się porozumiewających.”

“Jedného dňa so sebou priviedli vlastného dozimetristu a násilím otvorili sklad rádioaktívneho odpadu. Prinútili ma tam ísť. Pod namierenou hlavňou samopalu.
Prišiel som v protiradiačnom odeve, v ochranných okuliaroch a rukaviciach. Oni len tak, v uniformách. Zase ten sebavedomý úsmev.
‚Tak to konečne máme, inžinierko,‘ hovorí jeden z nich. ‚Tu ukrývate tie laboratóriá na biologické zbrane!‘
Všetko som pochopil. Oni si naozaj mysleli, že ak obsadia Černobyľ, nájdu tu americkú základňu, v ktorej sa vyvíjajú biologické zbrane. Nebola to žiadna informačná hra. Mysleli to smrteľne vážne. Verili tomu.
„A našli?“
„V momente, ako otvorili ťažké ochranné dvere, dozimetre sa zbláznili. Vyskočili za maximálne merateľné limity. Dozimetrista odtial utiekol. Zostali armádni plukovníci a ich vojaci. Jeden z nich zdvihol holou rukou tubu. Bol to kobalt-60. Začal si ho fotit‘.
Povedal som: ‚Ak náhodou bývate v jednej izbe s týmto šialencom, radšej rovno napíšte svojim ženám. Nech si začnú hľadať nových mužov.‘
Oni: „Geňa, okamžite to polož!“
Všetci utiekli.”

“Jedną z najgorszych rzeczy, które wymyślily nasze przerośnięte mózgi, jest obsesja celowości. Ludziom wydaje się, że tłumaczenie skąd się biorą dzieci, to wyzwanie - spróbujcie wytłumaczyć, po co się biorą.”

“Jeese…is that really macaroni and cheese?” She says, raising her heavily eye-shadowed lids. “It looks like dog food.” Jason chuckles, throwing a lopsided grin. “You want to try it out on me?” he laughs. “I’ll roll over and be a good boy for you.” Jen punches him on the arm. Her reaction just makes him chortle harder. She’s barely made a mark. “Don’t push your luck Fido!” She snaps, before heading for the chips.”

“Jeeter?" Grace whispered into her walkie-talkie. "Are you awake?" She waited.
A few weeks ago, she and Jeeter had started chatting on their walkie-talkies late at night when she couldn't sleep. He always answered her call no matter how late it was.
"I'm here," his voice echoed back. "Trouble sleeping again?"
"Yeah."
"Another bad dream?"
"Uh-huh," she sniffed, unexpected tears flooding her eyes. My dad was calling for me, but I couldn't find him." She couldn't believe she'd said it. She'd never told anyone what she saw in her dreams. But Jeeter understood. He'd told her before that he had bad dreams too, since his mom had died.”

“Jeeves tells me you want to talk to me about something,' I said.
'Eh?' said Bingo, with a start. 'Oh yes, yes. Yes.'
I waited for him to unleash the topic of the day, but he didn't seem to want to get along. Conversation languished. He stared straight ahead of him in a glassy sort of manner.
'I say, Bertie,' he said, after a pause of about an hour and a quarter.
'Hallo!'
'Do you like the name Mabel?'
'No.”
