“Let's applaud people who are directly focused on the purpose of their lives, unaffected by criticism made against them, by the storms around them, by the terrible events in their own country, by the obstacles in their path, by the depressing gossip around them! They are disciplined heroes oriented towards their goals!”
“Let’s appreciate and welcome the arrival of a new prophet
The one who can be
Reasonable and rational
Realistic and democrat
The one who respects the rights of women and children
And does not make everyone slave of his nation
Let’s do not whip some virgin pregnant women
They may have Christ in their belly
Let’s arrange a new miracle
That can be little rationale and less awkward
Maybe an application (software) or a gadget
That can make us smile
Or let’s build a green park that children could play and be happy
And let’s bring a little educated prophet
Not like the old one
Illiterate!
Marrying 10 to 12 women and waging war
Maybe someone who does not blind the world by his
Eye to eye policy and manifestation
A little kind and a little rational”

“Let's assume it was probably internal fairy stuff. That cuts it down to three suspects."
"Three?"
"The three people who could have managed it.
Summer Queen, Winter Queen, Winter Knight. 1, 2, 3."
"Harry, I said it could have been one of the queens...."
I blinked up at the skull.
"There are more than two?"
"Yea... technically there are three."
"THREE?"
"...In each court."
THREE QUEENS? In each court?! That's just silly..."
"No, not if you think about it. Each court has three queens. The queen who was, the queen who is, and the queen who is to come."
"Greeeat.... Which one does the knight work for?"
"All of them. It's kind of a group thing. He has different duties to each queen."
I felt the headache start at the base of my neck and creep towards the base of my head.”

“Let’s assume the match doesn’t happen. Fischer is disqualified. Who will be the challenger in his place?”
Krogius understood.
“Petrosian. The second finalist of the Candidates Matches.”
“Do you think I want to play with Petrosian for the third time, in Moscow, for a few thousand rubles? I’m not just talking about the prize. Who will care about this match?”
Spassky cared not just about the money. He wanted to go down in history. Krogius believed it was a risky game.
“Fischer will realize how much you want this match. Euwe isn’t dumb either. They will think they can get away with a lot with you.”
“And Fischer doesn’t want that money? Not to mention the title of world champion. And Edmondson? Do you think he doesn’t dream of Fischer winning the crown for America? And Max Euwe? This match is a gold mine for FIDE and personally for him. They will push the boundaries, but they won’t cross them because everyone will lose in that case.”
“Only our authorities would be pleased if Fischer didn’t play the match.”
Finally, Krogius understood what the game was about.”

She'd rather have begged you to sit still than have had only three children. None of this is because of us," I promised.”

“Let’s be honest with ourselves for a moment, shall we. Trying to argue a point, prove we are right—that we are a good person—is more about winning, or quite simply, protect ourselves from losing. It all boils down to fight or flight. Ultimately, when we are driven by these two forces, we end up fighting and fleeing the ultimate truth which is not of this earth.”

“Let’s be real. You don’t want to lock me away for my crimes. You want to lock me away because you blame me for your desire. You’re lashing out, because I dared to turn you on, as if females aren’t blamed for a male’s actions and reactions all the time. Tell me, Bjorn. Which of these scenarios works best for you? I pretend not to notice your arousal…and you consider me prudish. I point out that you obviously like the look of me…but I’m conceited. How about I explain to you how you can’t possibly want me…so you can ding me for being insecure? If ever you compliment me, should I accept it and come across as needy, or reject it like a baby-back-bitch? There’s just no winning with you or anyone, so, I’ll stick with the truth. You want me because I look like a tasty snack, and we both know it.”

“Let’s build a relationship where we don’t break each other’s hearts during fights.
Where arguments are always less important than the love we have for each other. Where none of us wait for the other person to resolve a fight. Where the competition isn’t about who wins the argument but who sorts it out first.
Where our kids don’t grow up hearing us fight at the top of our lungs.
Where our home doesn’t smell like violence but love. Let’s build a relationship where our kids are fluent in the language of love and averse to aggression. A home made of people whose love for one another is a flower unbothered by storms and forest fires.”

“Let's burn our masks at midnight
and as flickering flames ascend,
under the witness of star-clouds,
let us vow to reclaim our true selves.
Done with hiding and weary of lying,
we'll reconcile without and within.
Then, like naked squint-eyed newborns,
we'll greet the glorious birth of dawn;
blinking at the blazing, wondrous colors
we somehow failed to notice before.”
“Let’s call it what it is and let’s vote on these things. I think we’re in violation of both the spirit and the law of the Constitution by bombing a capital, blockading a country, and removing elected officials. We certainly wouldn’t tolerate it, nor would I if someone did it to us.
Our founders debated extensively over which branch of government should have the power to declare or initiate war. Virtually unanimously they decided, and what was entered into the Constitution, was that the declaration or initiation of war would be the power of Congress.
There are many advocates for an expansive notion of presidential power. They often argue that wars are not really wars, that they’re kinetic actions or drug busts. If you reverse the circumstances it becomes very difficult for these arguments to hold up. If a foreign country bombed our air defense missiles, captured and removed our president, and blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war? Of course it would be an act of war.
One-way arguments that don’t rebound, that you can’t apply to yourselves, that cannot be universally applicable, are bad arguments.
If it’s not a war and we’re just going to define it away, then calling it a drug bust isn’t really an argument. It’s a ruse. Not a war is a ruse. It’s not a real argument. We do what we do because we have the force and the might, and because it’s in our interest.
What if a foreign country indicts our president for violating a foreign law? Should we extradite our president, or should we be okay if they come in and get him by force? We would never allow that.
The Office of Legal Counsel argument is that this wasn’t a constitutional war because not enough people died. But the problem is it isn’t the number. It happens in retrospect. Our founders gave Congress the power to initiate or declare war. If we have to wait to see the scope, nature, and extent, then the war has already been going on. It’s hard to vote to initiate a war that’s been going on.
The definition of war is very important. Calling things kinetic action is a disservice to our soldiers. You weren’t really wounded in war; you don’t have a medal of honor for war; you have a medal of honor for a kinetic action.
If our predicate is that we can remove someone because we say they weren’t really elected, you can see where it leads, and it leads to chaos. That’s why we have rules like the Constitution—so presidents can’t do whatever they want. This is the check and balance. For seventy years we’ve been going the wrong way. It isn’t just this president. It’s a debate worth having.”

“Let’s consider your age to begin with — how old are you?’
‘I’m seven and a half exactly.’
‘You needn’t say “exactually,”’ the Queen remarked: ‘I can believe it without that. Now I’ll give you something to believe. I’m just one hundred and one, five months and a day.’
‘I can’t believe that!’ said Alice.
‘Can’t you?’ the Queen said in a pitying tone. ‘Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes.’
Alice laughed. ‘There’s no use trying,’ she said: ‘one can’t believe impossible things.’
‘I daresay you haven’t had much practice,’ said the Queen. ‘When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
