“Kita tidaklah spesial...
Kita tidaklah seagung itu...
Kita hanya produk dari evolusi, bagian dari alam yang memiliki nenek moyang yang sama seperti makhluk hidup lain di debu kosmik ini.”
“Kita tuh selalu jadi manusia yang terpisah dari manusia lain. Artinya, kita bisa nentuin sendiri apa yang mau kita lakuin, enggak mesti terkekang sama izin dari orang lain yang bahkan enggak paham apa tujuan kita ngelakuin itu. Kebahagiaan kita tersembunyi di balik itu, tapi orang lain ngelihatnya cuma dari permukaan—cuma dari apa yang mereka mau lihat.”

“Kita umumnya gampang termakan desas-desus karena kita hidup bertahun-tahun tak terlatih untuk menganalisis dan berpikir empiris. Dan berkibarlah sumber pengetahuan kita lewat dogma, desas-desus, dan dukun.”

“Kitabu cha KOLONIA SANTITA kinaweza kusomwa na watu wenye umri wa kuanzia miaka 13 na kuendelea. Katika umri wa miaka 13 fikra za mtoto huanza kuwa na maono na utambuzi wa vitu mbalimbali. Watoto katika umri huu wanao uwezo wa kuchambua dhana kadha wa kadha za kinadharia, na hali kadhalika wanao uwezo wa kuchambua nadharia tata zisizokuwa na uhakika, kama nadharia ya KOLONIA SANTITA.”
“Kitabu cha 'Kolonia Santita' ni kitabu cha wasomi na wasiokuwa wasomi, watu wa mijini na watu wa vijijini, watu wazima, vijana na watoto. Hadhira ya kitabu hiki ni jamii nzima ya Tanzania.”
“Kitai blinked slowly. "Why would you use the same word for these things? That is ridiculous."
"We have a lot of words like that," Tavi said. "They can mean more than one thing."
"That is stupid," Kitai said. "It is difficult enough to communicate without making it more complicated with words that mean more than one thing.”

“Kitalah planet yang hidup itu, Sophie! Kitalah kapal besar yang berlayar mengelilingi matahari yang membakar alam raya. Tapi kita masing-masing adalah juga sebuah kapal bermuatan gen-gen yang melayari kehidupan. Jika kita sudah membawa muatan ini dengan selamat ke pelabuhan berikut --berarti hidup kita tidak sia-sia.”
“Kitalifa ni utiifu kamili, woga, umbali (kwa maana ya kuwa mbali na biashara ya mamafia wengine mpaka kwa makubaliano maalumu) na nidhamu ya kutoshirikiana na mamlaka zote za serikali. Ukishtakiwa kwa kosa la madawa au ujambazi ambalo hukufanya, utatumikia kifungo mpaka mwisho bila kushirikiana na polisi (kwa maana ya kutaja aliyehusika au waliohusika na uhalifu huo) hata kama aliyehusika au waliohusika hana au hawana uhusiano wowote na Kolonia Santita. Falsafa ya Kitalifa ni Sheria ya Kitalifa ya Kiapo cha Swastika cha Kolonia Santita. Na adhabu ya kuvunja sheria hiyo ni kifo.”
“Kitanai, kiken, kitsui” è un modo di dire Giapponese, traducibile in “sporchi, pericolosi e umilianti” e si riferisce a quei lavori non qualificati e sottopagati che pochi sono disposti a fare. Fino a poco tempo fa, l’utilizzo di lavoratori non biologici era riservato quasi esclusivamente a queste 3K; tuttavia, negli ultimi anni, si è consolidata una nuova tendenza che vede il fenomeno dei robot, intelligenza artificiale e service automation sempre più in concorrenza con i lavoratori umani per impieghi più specializzati e meglio pagati.”

“Kitap okumak bir trene, bir uçağa, bir arabaya binmek gibidir; oturuyor olmana rağmen ilerlemeye devam edersin!”
“Kitap okumak için bolca zamanın ve harika bir yerin varsa, zihninde ileri doğru bir sıçrayış yapmak için de büyük bir şansın var demektir!”
“Kitap okumak çok önemlidir, ama ondan çok daha önemli olan bir şey var: Ne okuduğun! Ve şimdi tahmin et, ne okuduğundan da daha önemli bir şey var: Ne anladığın, neyi içselleştirdiğin! Çünkü dünyanın en mükemmel kitabını okusan bile anlamazsan, içselleştirmezsen o kitap okunmamış demektir!”
“Kitap okuyan biriyle kitap okumayan arasındaki fark, sonsuz bir ufka doğru oturan bir adamla duvara doğru oturan bir adam arasındaki fark gibidir!”
“Kitaplar,bir zaman bana, insanları sevmek lazım geldiğini,insanları sevince tabiatın, tabiatı sevince dünyanın sevileceğini oradan yaşama sevinci duyulacağını öğretmiştiler. (s.40)”

“Kitaplar hayat mücadelesine atılmış olanlara veya büyük ideal sahiplerinin geniş ufuklarına, yani ufuklar katmakta yardımcı olurlar. Demek ki okumak bir gaye değildir. Okumanın ve bilgi edindikten sonra mütalaada bulunmanın hedefi, dünya hakkında genel bir fikre ve görüşe sahip olmaktır. Sistemli biçimde okuyarak elde edilecek bilgiler, bir mozaik parçası gibi yerine yerleştirilmelidir. Böylece kitap okuyanın zihninde dünya hakkında genel bir fikir meydana getirilmelidir. Yoksa okuyucunun kafasında büyük bir değerden yoksun bir bilgi salatası meydana gelmemelidir. Bu bilgi salatası sahibine bir gurur vesilesi olsa da, herhangi bir işe yaramaz. Kafalarının içinde bilgi salatası taşıyan kimseler, kendilerinin çok şeyler bildiklerine hükmederler. Fakat bu gibi kimselerin hayatları ya bir hastanede ya da politika çukurunda son bulur.”

“Kitaplar okuyarak ‘’eski kendini’ kaybedersin ve ‘yeni kendini’ bulursun! Okumak, kendinden başka bir kendine yolculuktur!”
“Kitaplar vardır, seni yukarı çeker, kitaplar vardır, seni aşağı çeker ve bir de inançlara dair kitaplar vardır seni yanlış bir rüyaya, uydurma bir hikâyeye çeker!”
“Kitapları yakmak insanları yakmak kadar korkunç değildir, çünkü kitaplar insanlar gibi biricik değildirler ve fikirler yanmazlar!”
“kitaplık sahibi tüm insanlar gibi aurelianus da sahip olduğu bütün kitapları hakkını vererek okumamış olmakla suçlardı kendini.bu tartışma ona kitaplığının raflarında ihmal edildikleri için ayıplar gibi duran birçok kitabı gözden geçirme fırsatı verdi.(Çev.:Tomris Uyar)”

“Kitchen is the place where we have our best and worst conversations. It's such a dying thing, people sitting around the table and enjoying dinner together in their home. My mission is to keep that alive.”
“Kitchen life is getting steamy. Charles looks up from prepping his mise en place for two seconds, blows me a kiss, and then his hand swipes a bowl of salt and the grains scatter on the counter.
"I can't take it anymore," he says, lifting me up onto the prep station. My legs wrap around his waist, as his kiss starts off slow and then turns hungry. Vegetables scatter, cherry tomatoes rolling onto the floor. Dishes break. Not one burner is on, but the kitchen gets hotter. Oh, and hotter. Hello, volcano. His hand latches around my ponytail, tilting my head back. His mouth finds my neck, and he covers it with his kisses, slowly making his way down to my exposed shoulder, his fingers running along my clavicle.”

“Kitchen people understood that food didn't have to be gourmet to taste good, and that sometimes gourmet food didn't taste good at all. "Kiwis are a soulless fruit," my mother once said when she saw them in a fruit tart on the Ritz's dessert tray. "Don't ever use sun-dried tomatoes," my father told his staff. "They'll take your magic powers." Even junk food could be better. Once, for Jake's birthday, the staff laid out his favorite foods--- frozen meatballs and Twinkies--- on brass serving plates in the dining room. When they sliced the Twinkies horizontally to expose the cream, even my mother admitted they made an attractive dessert.
At staff Christmas parties we served junk food, too: sour-cream-and-onion potato chips, chicken wings, and hot dogs, and for dessert more Twinkies. The rest of the year I never ate food like that, and by the holidays Cotswold tarts and melon wrapped in prosciutto bored me. In my black velvet dresses, I gnawed on fried drumsticks, with a napkin stuffed into my lace collars to catch the crumbs. "I'm not whipping up any foie gras for you tonight, kiddo," said Carla, who, in her olive-green T-shirt and holding a beer, looked the same as she did behind the line. "Fend for yourself.”

“Kitchens are hard environments and they form incredibly strong characters.”
“Kitchens have their seasons. And in this subterranean world, hidden from rainstorms and eager winds, is a world of wheat, wine and herbs. Always herbs. Herbs with balm in their leaves and flavor in their throats. A harvest of herbs on the windowsill. Parsley, coriander, tarragon. Basil, of different varieties, Greek with its anise-clove flavor and 'Sweet Genovese' with its jumbo cinnamon leaves.
By the stove, I am chopping mint, coriander, tarragon, basil and parsley. The leaves and stems will go into a soup inspired by a region that taught me just what can be done with herbs, the South Caucasus--- that is Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. From springtime until winter, whole bouquets of herbs arrive ceremoniously to the table, sometimes so fresh that clumps of earth still cling to their pale whiskery roots. Vital as bread, drawing eyes and senses forward, they are the centerpiece of the table. Intensely fresh and fragrant, unbruised and unwilted, they are a meal, a feast. Vitamins after a long winter. Never an afterthought, a mere sprinkling, or worse, 'a pinch'. At breakfast, oozing omelettes filled with molten white cheese and blades of tarragon. At lunch, bulgur salad, always more leaf than wheat. Ice cream is mint, sorbet is basil, soda is tarragon. In warmer months, they are refreshing, health-giving and sanity-saving as the sun starts hammering down.
So today, in this kitchen of a hundred crossroads, to welcome the beginning of spring, I will bless this soup with a crop of fresh herbs.”

“Kitchens should be designed around what's truly important-fun, food, and life.”
“Kitchens were different then, too - not only what came out of them, but their smells and sounds. A hot pie cooling smells different from a frozen pie thawing.”

“Kite surfing is a great way of keeping fit. Kiting is great because you're bouncing over the waves and you're surfing the waves. I do quite long kite surfs-50 miles in a day.”
“Kites fly highest into the wind. Keep going regardless of the seeming resistance.”
“Kites rise highest against the wind - not with it.”
“Kitesurfing is one of the greatest sports in the world. I highly recommend this to anyone who has access to the ocean. There is nothing more freeing than being out there and kitesurfing. When my schedule permits, it's the first thing I do in the morning, before I have breakfast. Tennis is also fun, especially against someone far better at the sport than I am.”
“Kithairon sang of cunning Kronos
and sacred Rhea who stole her son Zeus,
mighty among immortals.
Then the Muses asked the gods to put
their ballot stones in the urn of gold.
All stood up and Kithairon won
the greater part. Hermes shouted loud,
at once proclaiming sweet victory.
The gods adorned his brow with flowers,
and Kithairon rejoiced. But Helikon
was stunned with bitter rage, and tore
a massive boulder from the mountain.
Insanely he shouted and lobbed the rock
down on thousands of mortals below.”
“Kitne saleeke,

Kitne saleeke, iss zindagi ke..

Jeene ke tareeqe,

They Kabhi tanha,
bheed mein hoke.
Uljhi ranjishein,

Haar ko muskuraate,
Gale lagaake.

Kuch dard piye,
jhoothey sach kadwe..
kabhi hasi ke pal,
thode feeke feeke..

Kitne saleeke,
iss zindagi ke..
Logon ne sikhaaye,
kuch humne gir ke seekhe.”

“Kitsch. Can't think of Engl. trans. for this word. A copy that's so proud of how close it comes to the original that it believes there's more worth in this closeness than in originality itself. "It looks like...!" Imposture of feeling over actual emotion; sentimentality over sentiment. Kitsch can also be in the eye: "The sunset looks like a painting!" Because artifice is now the ultimate standard, the original (sunset) has to be turned into a fake (painting), so that the latter may provide the measure of the former's beauty. Kitsch is always a form of inverted Platonism, prizing imitation over archetype. And in every case, it's related to an inflation of aesthetic value, as seen in the worst kind of kitsch: "classy" kitsch. Solemn, ornamental, grand. Ostentatiously, arrogantly announcing its divorce from authenticity.”

“Kitsch causes two tears to flow in quick succession. The first tear says: How nice to see children running on the grass! The second tear says: How nice to be moved, together with all mankind, by children running on the grass!”
“Kitsch deprives feeling of its cost, and therefore of its reality; desecration augments the cost of feeling, and so frightens us away from it. The remedy for both states of mind is suggested by the thing that they each deny, which is sacrifice. Konstanze and Belmonte in Mozart’s opera are ready to sacrifice themselves for each other, and this readiness is the proof of their love: all the beauties of the opera arise from the constant presentation of this proof. The deaths that occur in real tragedies are bearable to us because we see them under the aspect of sacrifice. The tragic hero is both self-sacrificed and a sacrificial victim; and the awe that we feel at his death is in some way redemptive, a proof that his life was worthwhile. Love and affection between people is real only to the extent that it prepares the way for sacrifice—whether the petits soins that bind Marcel to Saint Loup, or the proof offered by Alcestis, who dies for her husband. Sacrifice is the core of virtue, the origin of meaning and the true theme of high art.
Sacrifice can be avoided, and kitsch is the great lie that we can both avoid it and retain its comforts. Sacrifice can also be made meaningless by desecration. But, when sacrifice is present and respected, life redeems itself; it becomes an object of contemplation, something that ‘bears looking at’, and which attracts our admiration and our love. This connection between sacrifice and love is presented in the rituals and stories of religion. It is also the recurring theme of art. When, in the carnage of the Great War, poets tried to make sense of the destruction that lay all around, it was in full consciousness that kitsch merely compounded the fault. Their effort was not to deny the horror, but to find a way of seeing it in sacrificial terms. From this effort were born the war poems of Wilfred Owen and, much later, the War Requiem of Benjamin Britten.
So there, if we can find our way to it, is the remedy. It is a remedy that cannot be achieved through art alone. In the words of Rilke’s ‘Archaic Torso of Apollo’: ‘you must change your life’. Beauty is vanishing from our world because we live as though it did not matter; and we live that way because we have lost the habit of sacrifice and are striving always to avoid it. The false art of our time, mired in kitsch and desecration, is one sign of this.”

“Kitsch evokes a future utopia looking back at a past that is selectively (mis)remembered, thereby helping to stabilize the present toward which kitsch is otherwise deeply anatagonistic.”

“Kitsch excludes everything from its purview which is essentially unacceptable in human existence.”
“Kitsch generates pseudonovelty with no new insight into reality, or else does not concern itself at all with the new and produces its effects with more or less academic eclecticism.”

“Kitsch is all that the modern world makes that's not modern, which is most of it.”
