“Magrat, folluğa yerleşen iki tavuk gibi kıç tarafta rahat etmeye çalışan iki yaşlı cadıya baktı. "Kürek çekmeyi biliyor musunuz?" dedi. "Bilmemiz gerekmiyor," dedi Nine. Magrat kasvetle başını salladı. Sonra çok minik bir iddialılık kırıntısı, kendisini bir an gösterdi. "Ben de bildiğimi sanmıyorum," diye denedi. "Sorun değil," dedi Ogg Ana hemen. "Yanlış yaptığını görürsek söyleriz. Bay bay, kral hazretleri." Magrat pes etti. İçini çekti ve kürekleri aldı. "Yassı tarafı suya girecek," dedi Nine yardımseverlikle.”

“Magritte’s variations on the same theme invite us to rethink conventional notions of originality, to look more carefully at the details and contrasts between different versions of the painting: we observe the architectural variations of the Belgian houses, the varieties of trees in the foreground, of the streetlamps and their shadows, and of the skyscapes. Some of these paintings are in portrait format, others in landscape; some, like the 1961 version, give the viewer a deeper sense of proximity to, or immersion in, the scene while in others the depicted world is more distant. Together, these variant paintings form an internal system of poetic rhythms and patterns in which cross-references abound, alongside allusions to older Belgian art, most notably La Maison rose (1892) by the symbolist William Degouve de Nuncques.”

“Mags seemed to attract trouble wherever she went. The Raploch Estate in Stirling was a nice backdrop, a middleclass place to live and bring up your kids until the scourge of drugs took a grip of its sons and daughters, like any other quiet township. The more the people needed drugs, the rougher and more violent the place became.”

“Magyarország a képzelet országa. Kitaláljuk magunknak az országot, függetlenül a reálisan létezőtől. Futballország volnánk, de sose nyertünk világbajnokságot; olvasom, hogy irodalmi nagyhatalom volnánk, és a kutya sem ismeri a világban az irodalmunkat, itt a két világháború közt úgy volt királyság, hogy király nem volt hozzá. A káprázat országa.”

“Mah! C'è chi comprende e chi non comprende caro signore. Sta molto peggio chi comprende, perchè alla fine si trova senza energie e senza volontà. Chi comprende, infatti, dice: . Benissimo! Ma a un certo punto ci si accorge che la vita è tutta una bestialità, e allora dica un pò cosa significa il non averne commesso nessuna: significa per lo meno non aver vissuto, caro signore.”

“Mahatma Gandhi I would say had perhaps a greater spiritual quality whereas Winston Churchill had besides the courage, ability and above everything else, the ability to put into words what his people felt so that he could always lead them. And my own husband I think had great patience, which you need in a democracy because you have to come to do fundamental things, you have to have the patience to have people educated; and then I think he had a deep interest in human beings as human beings.”

“Mahirap tanggapin ang katotohanan. May mga pagkakataon na kinakailangan mong dumaan sa mga karanasanang magtuturo sa yo ng tama. Minsan masasaktan ka lalo at minsan din ay lalo mo lang mauunawaan ang tunay dahilan kung bakit nangyayari ang mga naranasan at nararanasan mo. Maaaring sa pamamagitan ng (mga) tao, (mga) bagay, o (mga) pangyayari. Ang pinakamainam na lang na gawin ay buksan ang puso at iproseso sa isip na ang lahat ng ito ay magandang idinulot at maidudulot sa buhay mo.”

“Mahlia… understood Doctor Mahfouz and his blind rush into the village. He wasn’t trying to change them. He wasn’t trying to save anyone. He was just trying to not be part of the sickness. Mahlia had thought he was stupid for walking straight into death, but now, as she lay against the pillar, she saw it differently. She thought she’d been surviving. She thought that she’d been fighting for herself. But all she’d done was create more killing, and in the end it had all led to this moment, where they bargained with a demon … not for their lives, but for their souls” (p. 403)”

“Mahogany shelves lined the counters, stacked with glass bottles and jars, like something from a fairy tale. There were whole, plump roses steeping in honey; purple-stained sugar, thick with lavender, tiny jars of crimson threads, cherries and peaches suspended in syrup as if they had fallen there from the trees. The luxurious scents wrapped around him. 'Butter,' his nose relayed, 'cream, nuts, brandy, chocolate...”

“Mahomed has often been mocked for peopling his paradise with desirable women, and inviting us to long for their caresses. But surely he was responding to a natural and healthy instinct, which finds in the contemplation of a beautiful body, not only the stimulus to desire, but also the satisfaction of a deeper yearning. We yearn, in fact, to justify the human body, to give grounds for our feeling that this is God's image. And in this yearning is expressed our real knowledge that we are our bodies and that they are we.”

“Mahoney's emotions raced through her like the breath of the ocean, tides ebbing and flowing, pulling, and pushing, tearing her apart until she understood that life and death were neither with nor without reason, and everyone was like the stars, fires bursting into the cosmos to touch what they didn't understand. Consciousness was a climate one lived within, and dead or alive, it was both torment and bliss, but every second was worth enduring because always within the confusion, there was love, and love survived it all.”
