“LeBron doesn't have any weaknesses, or he doesn't have a glaring weakness. So you've got to pick up on the smaller things to try to make him uncomfortable.

“Leccionados pela história — na medida em que ela pode leccionar uma colectividade que é uma das mais desmemoriadas que é possível conceber-se — chegou o tempo de nos vermos tais como somos, o tempo de uma nacional redescoberta das nossas verdadeiras riquezas, potencialidades, carências, condição indispensável para que algum dia possamos conviver connosco mesmo com um mínimo de naturalidade. Os Portugueses vivem em permanente representação, tão obsessivo é neles o sentimento de fragilidade íntima inconsciente e a correspondente vontade de a compensar com o desejo de fazer boa figura, a título pessoal ou colectivo.”

“Lector se nace, lector se hace, lector se muere. Como el hábito no tiene finalidad práctica, no admite renuncia por abandono ni por desaliento ante el posible competidor.
El lector se arrodilla como el arqueólogo, trepa escalera como el restaurador, fortalece músculos con el diccionario de María Moliner, huronea de tomo en tomo. Lee de pie y escarba en librerías, sufriendo la melancólica anemia de su bolsillo, el despiste de los libreros y la necesidad del ángel que lo aliente para desmalezar la selva de los libros chatarra.
Lo creíamos sedentario y en realidad es un atleta, comparado con prójimos que sortean estas gimnasias y se solidifican en ángulo recto frente a las pantallas...”
“Lectura instantánea. Cierto famoso fakir afirmaba en el pueblo que podía enseñar a leer a una persona iletrada mediante una técnica relámpago. Nasrudín salió de entre la multitud. “Muy bien, enséñame, ahora.” El fakir tocó la frente del Mulla y dijo: “Ahora ve a casa inmediatamente y lee un libro”. Media hora más tarde, Nasrudín estaba de vuelta en el mercado, llevando un libro en sus manos. El fakir se había marchado. “¿Puedes leer ahora, Mulla?”, le preguntó la gente. “Sí, puedo leer, pero eso no es lo importante. ¿Dónde está ese charlatán?” “Cómo puede ser un charlatán si ha conseguido que leas sin aprender?” “Porque este libro, que es de incuestionable autoridad, dice: 'Todos los fakires son farsantes.”

“Lecz nawet gdyby się tego szczerze pragnęło — jak można z postanowienia prostego zacząć istnieć? jak można przejść samowładnie z niebytu w byt? To jest prerogatywa boska, nie ludzka: bóstwa powołują się do istnienia; ludzie są stwarzani. Zadanie nieporównanie łatwiejsze: uwierzyć we własne istnienie. Ale jak tu nakazać sobie wiarę? Tak samo jak wiara w istnienie Boga, wiara w istnienie człowieka jest albo spontaniczną, albo nie ma jej wcale. Czy znajdzie się kto taki, co wysłuchał teologicznych argumentów i — tak, przekonaliście mnie, chcę wierzyć, pstryk, et voilà — uwierzył? Wszak to absurd!”
“Lecția pe care voise să i-o dea era că nu poți face universul să se miște după cum îți trăsnește ție. Ceea ce pune lumea în mișcare nu erau doar puterea militară și banii. Lucrurile frumoase aveau și ele forța lor, capabilă să cutremure universul. Nu doar obiectele scumpe chinezești sau ustensilele faimoase pentru chanoyu sunt frumoase, ci și bobocii de camelie care dau viață unei tokonama peste care a trecut timpul... moliciunea sunetului apei calde din kama... yūgen-ul suprafeței unui chawan negru raku ținut în mână în semiobscuritatea unei mici încăperi... Alături de un bol de ceai, astfel de elemente de frumusețe simplă emană împreună liniște și forță.”

“Led by long years to my last hours, too late, O world, I know your joys for what they are. You promise a peace which is not yours to give and the repose that dies before it is born. The years of fear and shame to which Heaven now set a term, renew nothing in me but the old sweet error in which, living overlong a man kills his soul with no gain to his body. I say and I know having put it to the proof, that he has the better part in Heaven whose death falls nearest his birth.”
“Led by myself and two colleagues, the course offers a newly developed model of spiritual direction that draws on both the age-old wisdom of the church and more recent perspectives.

“Led Zeppelin didn't get that kind of Beatles screaming. We had a more sort of macho crowd. But I remember once in the early days of The Yardbirds, we were playing on an ice rink, and the stage was mobbed by screaming girls. I had my clothes torn off me. That's a really uncomfortable experience, let me tell you.”
“Led Zeppelin didn't write tunes that everybody liked, they left that to the Bee Gees.”
“Led Zeppelin has been there through three generations of teenage angst. And there's a generation of kids now who won't know it, post-Linkin Park.”

“Led Zeppelin. Queen. Deep Purple. These were the bands I listened to. I still listen to them.”

“Ledisi means to come here, to bring forth. It’s a Nigerian word and it’s from the Yorubu culture, I believe, and my parents named me, my dad and my mom, and really my dad, and I had no choice in that. That’s my real name and that’s what it means.”

“Lee Duffy was a man apart and someone who only comes around once in a lifetime, a total one off. There have been a lot of things written about him in the press and it’s always been from the other side of the coin. There are always two sides to every story and Lee’s family have never fully told us their side. They are very distrustful of the press after Lee was made out to be some kind of monster.
If Lee had been born and bred in London, he would have been an icon.
He was Robin Hood, Dick Turpin and Muhammad Ali rolled into one.”

“Lee Harvey Oswald fired the starting gun of America's nightmare years. This insignificant man's bullets didn't just echo through Dealey Plaza in 1963. The shockwaves from them arguably fuelled the turbulent events of the rest of the 1960s and only dissipated with Watergate and the end of the Vietnam War.”
