“Kotak Kayu Tua: Ada dalam sebuah kotak kayu tua, sang penanda waktu menjalankan tugasnya, dengan selembar kaca melindunginya; ada dalam sebuah ruang, kotak kayu besar nan tua itu diletakan di sisi kanan tuan-nya, yang duduk juga menjalankan tugasnya; mereka bercakap dalam syahdu, memahami segelintir makna dari sebuah hakikat tentang semesta ... .... kita bicara soal waktu — Epaphras Ericson Thomas”

“Kovacs," Warwick growled against the back of my neck, the real man standing over me, ready to scoop me up at any moment if he needed to. At that moment, when the whole world felt against us, death snatching my friends and family from me like retribution, he had my back. Literally and figuratively. The sensation dug in so deep, realizing something like that went even beyond mates. A trust so absolute... love felt like a foolish word to utter. We went beyond words.”

“Kowkosvki? You handling this?” “I am.” The suit turned and stared at me with his dark eyes. “Detective Hayden. I take it you’re the shooter?” “I am.” “And you are?” “Jack Ludefance. I’m a PI hired by Mr. Kingsley to investigate the murder of Professor Zambear.” “Oh, yeah, I heard about you. Who’s in the bedroom?” “Rudy Orkut. My computer tech.” “Computer tech, huh? Any idea who this dead body is?” “Not a clue.”

“Koyun eti göçebe halkların temel gıda maddesidir. Ayrıca koyun hızlı büyüyen, et ve iç yağ sağlayan bir hayvandır. Deri ve yünü giysi ve keçe yapımında kullanılır ki, Kıpçakların günlük hayatının vazgeçilmez unsurlarıdır. Ama diğer göçebelerin çoğunda olduğu gibi Kıpçakların da sevgilisi, "sürülerin incisi", en değerli ve en itibarlı hayvanı elbette ki attı. Kıpçaklar, s. 243”

“KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) are arbitrary numbers that make you feel productive. It’s corporate astrology: you stare at charts and dashboards, interpret the signs, and declare, “We’re growing!” while quietly ignoring the fact that revenue is flat. If you’re hitting all your KPIs and still not growing, they’re just three letters that make you feel busy while you slowly fail.”

“Krakatoa, spelled “Krakatau” in Indonesian, is a volcano in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra. It is also the name of an island group made up of what is left of a larger island, consisting of three volcanic peaks that were destroyed by the catastrophic 1883 eruption. This explosive force was equivalent to 100,000 Hiroshima sized atomic bombs. It was the loudest sound ever heard in modern history and could be heard up to 3,000 miles away. At that time, the explosion caused huge tsunamis which killed more than 36,000 people and sent out shock waves that were recorded worldwide for almost a week. Years later in 1927, “Anak Krakatau” a new island mountain formed in its place and is again the location of volcanic activity. It is considered a part of the Pacific “Ring of Fire.”

“Kral Fakir (Servant King Sonnet) İnsanı seven herkes resul, Yardım eden herkes kraldır. Bencil servet hayvanlara mübarek, İnsan ben, kimliğim kral fakir. Every human who loves a human is apostle, Every human who helps a human is king. Animals may feast on selfish luxury, As for me, I am a servant king. King is the servant, Servant is king. Being is the harvest, Harvest is the being. Life lived for self is goods, Life lived for others is gift. Time spent on self is product, Time spent on others is present. You can spend thousands on the shallow, Still it won't be enough to fill their eyes. Spend a single wise cent on someone in need, It'll fill their heart with new vigor of life.”

“Krallığımda, alışıldık olanın tersini yapardım; Her türlü ticareti yasaklardım; Yargıç margıç olmazdı; Eğitime gerek kalmazdı; Zengin, yoksul olmaz, uşaklık kalkardı; Sözleşme, miras, arazi sınırı, tarım, bağ bahçe olmazdı; Madene, buğdaya, şaraba, yağa ihtiyaç duyulmazdı; Uğraş diye bir şey olmaz, herkes aylaklık ederdi; Kadınlar da saf ve temiz olurdu; Hükümdarlığa gerek kalmazdı.”

“Kramer's recognition, with the geologists Lees and Falcon, that people could have settled in the fertile valley between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers much earlier than had previously been assumed has been entirely vindicated by subsequent discoveries of the traces of 'primitive agricultural villages' dating back more than 8000 years.”

“Kramer's sits on Connecticut Avenue just north of Dupont Circle and is a Washington institution of sorts, functioning as a bookstore, restaurant, and bar all in one. The front always swarms with people perusing the book displays, which overflow with stacks of paperbacks and hardbacks, everything from political memoirs to the juiciest works of fiction.”

“Krenuvši na ovo putovanje bio sam čovjek potpuno urušene vjere u ljude. Živio sam u okruženju koje me je sustavno gazilo, uvjeravalo da ne vrijedim takav kakav jesam, da moram postati netko drugi da bih bio dovoljno dobar, u okruženju u kojem sam uvijek bio drugi, manje vrijedan, onaj koji ne zaslužuje. A takav nam je i svijet. Suvremeno nas društvo uvjerava da vrijedimo onoliko koliko zarađujemo, koliko posjedujemo, kako smo sposobni izgraditi carstvo na muci drugih, koliko smo sposobni prodati se, zadiviti druge i pružiti usluge i znanja koja se mogu prodati i unovčiti. Tko se tu ne uklapa, tomu se dobro ne piše”

“Kresh kept silent beside me as Baron rehearsed his deadly plan. I listened with my eyes aimed at the horizon, witnessing the night consume a final red vein of daylight. It struck me that nightfall always drowned the sunset. Never did the sun resurface from where it sank, nor would it ever.”

“Kripke says that physicalists like me can't explain the 'apparent contingency' of mind-brain identities. He maintains that, if I really believed that pains are C-fibres, then I ought no longer to have any room for the thought that 'they' might come apart. His argument is that, since pains aren't identified via some contingent description, but in terms of how they feel, I have no good way of constructing a possible world, so to speak, where C-fibres are present yet pains absent.”
