“Lui inizia a correre in direzione della bestia e poi si ferma e spara ancora, spara e spara e non prende niente, e io penso che se ci fosse stato un lupo arrabbiato lo avrebbe già morso alla faccia, alla gola, all’altezza del mento, allora mi avvicino e lo supero, cerco il cinghiale come se cercassi me stessa.
Mi vedo a quattro zampe nel bosco, che tento la fuga dalle responsabilità dei miei quasi delitti, dalle male parole, dai gesti furibondi, dalle dolcezze che non ho saputo dare, dalla tenerezza che non ho potuto ricevere, dal mio futuro, sono io che arranco e mi accuccio e ho il pelo irto e duro, una corazza di animalità coriacea, io
grugnisco, io annuso, io non voglio che nessuno mi fermi, mi processi, mi accusi, poi alzo il fucile, che è corpo per me, oggetto vivo, capacità, e prendo la mira, una delle poche cose che so fare e che saprò sempre fare.”

“Lui la abbracciò stretta, e quando lei cominciò a tremare, per il freddo o il pianto o entrambi, la avvolse nella coperta e la strinse a sè ancora di più. Per la prima volta, rimpianse profondamente la sua decisione, si pentì di averla lasciata ad affrontare il liceo da sola, mentre avrebbe potuto essere al suo fianco. Non l'aveva mai considerata debole perché non lo era, ma era vulnerabile e lui l'aveva abbandonata.”
“Lui le offrì allora la camelia che portava all'occhiello. Lei la rifiutò: "E' un fiore che impegna".”

“Luis Figo is totally different to David Beckham, and vice versa.”
“Luis is right there.” I point to the corner of the yard, where my little brother is the centre of attention doing imitations of barnyard animals. I have yet to inform him that talent isn’t as much of a chick magnet when you get into junior high.”

“Luiz de Camões incarna essa raça de bárbaros do Norte, que são os portuguezes o fôram os suevos; raça de aventureiros, de guerreiros e de poetas. Robusto e loiro (loiro-escuro, como o indica o último retrato descoberto), valente, leal e optimista, ele é aquela figura d'Homo Europeaus que Chamberlain nos descreve sob o nome de povo amorrheu.”

“Lukas: In traditional Greek Culture it would seen as admirable for a woman to live close to her parents
Ashleigh: It doesn't work like that way where I'm from. I want to be independent of my parents, not living in their pockets. And wouldn't you think a husband would want his new wife to himself?
Lukas: Oh, yes. If he had a woman like this for his wife he would not share her with anyone. Not that he ever wanted a wife. The example of his parents and others in their social set had turned him right off marriage.”

“Luke 14:28 - For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?”
“Luke 17:5-6, a Lukan paraphrase of Mark 11:22-24, strikes a surprising note of pessimism: "The apostles said to the Lord, `Increase our faith!' And the Lord said, `If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this sycamine tree, "Be uprooted and planted in the sea!" and it would obey you."' The point is surely that, since such a thing is plainly never going to happen, you can see how little faith any one will ever have. It is like the rhetorical question of Luke 18:8, "When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?" The same double bind has caught the father of the deaf-mute epileptic in Mark 9:24, "1 believe; help my unbelief!" (How striking that the single most poignant and insightful New Testament statement about faith is made not by the Messiah or an apostle or prophet, but just by ... some guy!)”

“Luke [the gospel writer] screws up his dating by tactlessly mentioning events that historians are capable of independently checking. There was indeed a census under Governor Quirinius - a local census, not one decreed by Caesar Augustus for the Empire as a whole - but it happened too late in 6 AD, long after Herod's death.”
“Luke associates John with Peter in Acts, when, after the Resurrection, that strange boldness had come upon the disciples.”
“Luke Cage is using his open hand instead of a closed fist. It's a little disrespectful but it's very effective. Some people call it a pimp slap, we call it smack-fu. He's doing you a favour by hitting you with an open hand. It hurts, it renders you unconscious but you live.”
“Luke dug up a bottle of port from the Citizen's dusty Cask of Amontillado wine cellar, and took turns sipping from the bottle with Sunshine while River and I gathered dried-out driftwood into a pile and set it on fire. I'd found an old camping grill in the basement while Luke was looking for the wine, and River made grilled cheese, tomato, and mustard sandwiches for lunch.”

“Luke gazed at Annabeth. "You knew. I almost killed you, but you knew . . ." "Shhh." Her voice trembled. "You were a hero at the end, Luke.”
“Luke has interspersed with an account of the nativity of John the Baptist (no doubt obtained from the rival sect of John) a parallel nativity of Jesus built on John's model. Not that Luke himself was the one who composed it; it, too, was most likely pre-Lukan material. [...] Though Luke used prior sources, probably in Aramaic, for the nativities of John and Jesus, it appears he himself contributed bits of connective text to bring the two parallel stories into a particular relationship so that John should be subordinated to Jesus, whom Luke makes Jesus' elder cousin. This original, redactional material is Luke 1:36, 39-45, 56. It consists of a visit of Mary to her cousin Elizabeth, whereupon the fetus John, already in possession of clairvoyant gifts, leaps in the womb to acknowledge the greater glory of the messianic zygote. All this is blatantly legendary, or there is no such thing as a legend. Luke probably got the idea from Gen. 25:22, where according to the Greek translation of the Old Testament, the Septuagint, Rebecca is painfully pregnant with twins. [...] In this way Luke tries to harmonize the competing traditions of Jesus and John, whose cousinhood is no doubt his own invention.”

“Luke marveled that two years had passed, and yet the woman elicited precisely the same uncomfortable mix of reactions in him. He wanted a stiff drink. He wanted to step closer to her. He wanted to call her out for calculated provocation. He wanted to study her closely enough that he discovered the precise root of his powerful, unrelenting fascination with her. And then he wanted to use that information to excise said fascination once and for all. Surgically, if necessary.”

“Luke, meet Willy,” Micah says from behind him, his voice sounding strained. “Randy’s elf and all around pain in the ass.”
“Speak for yourself, nurse boy,” Willy comes back at him with a loud laugh. “And Randy says the pain’s not so bad anymore, so ha! You know that stuff takes a lot of practice for it not to hurt every time.”
Surely he’s not saying what it sounds like he’s saying?
“And a lot of lube,” the elf continues. “I mean, when you’re as big as I am and all, even if Randy is a big man, he still has a tight-”
Oh, he’s definitely saying it.
Micah slaps his hands over his ears. “Stop it!”
Willy smirks at him. “I bet you won’t call me a pain in the ass in front of somebody again.”

“Luke opened the pizza box and, finding it empty, shut it with a sigh.
"Though you did eat all
the pizza."
"I only had five slices," Simon protested, leaning his chair backward so it
balanced precariously on
its two back legs.
"How many slices did you think were in a pizza, dork?" Clary wanted to
know.
"Less than five slices isn't a meal. It's a snack." Simon looked apprehensively at Luke. "Does this
mean you're going to
wolf out and eat me?”

“Luke paused before asking hopefully, "Did you say something about sandwiches?"
Merritt smiled. "I'll bring a tray to the front parlor."
She went to the kitchen, fetched various items from the larder and pantry, and set the teakettle to boil. Although most ladies of her position rarely, if ever, set foot in the kitchen, Merritt had fallen into the habit of making small meals for herself on Cook's days off. It was faster and more convenient than waiting for things to be brought to her, and there was something soothing about puttering in her own kitchen. She made sandwiches with brown bread, ham, and mustard, and added hard-boiled eggs and pickles on the side.”

“Luke picked up a piece of paper lying on the seat. "Camden Hills Avenue in the Badlands Golf Club." Luke chuckled. "Going to find a criminal in the Badlands. It kind of has an ironic ring to it.”

“Luke realized he was staring at Denton, and hoped he only seemed like a man dubious of the intellect of the fairer sex.
And not what he was. A man who knew that women were easily as smart as men, and quite often far smarter.
But that Grace Chetwood was vapid, distractible, spoiled, self-indulgent, and infuriating.”
