“Miksi entinen pääministeri "heruttaa"? Onko se väärin? Onhan naisten vapautumiseen aina liittynyt sekä naisellisuuden että seksualisuuden korostaminen, sen ottaminen omiin käsiin. Madonna, Spice Girls, Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Erika Vikman. Yhä uudelleen joku tunnettu nainen riisuutuu alastonkuviin "rohkeana tekona". Jos ennen nainen oli halun kohde, nyt hän on halun lähde, bosslady, joka päättää itse.”

“Miksi minun olisi pitänyt lukea? Tietysti jotta pääsisin korkeakouluun, jotta minusta tulisi kunnon kansalainen. Vanhempani olivat molemmat lääkäreitä, niin, mutta ihmisiä kai he silti olivat eivätkä mitään riistäjäluokan petoja; tottahan he tienasivat enemmän kuin monet muut mutta eivät he upporikkaita olleet, tavallisia sairaalalääkäreitä jotka ruikuttivat reaalipalkkansa putoamista kun joskus luotua "herran" elintasoa oli niin vaikea säilyttää, eikä se mistään muusta kiikastanut kuin että menoja oli enemmän kuin tuloja, tuloja oli tarpeeksi, menoja oli liikaa. Vaikka vanhempani joskus, luullakseni, yrittivät opettaa minua nöyräksi, ymmärtäväksi (äiti jopa äänesti demareita) väijyi vanha vauraus kaikkialla: perintöosake Merikadulla, sataviisikymmentä neliötä, suvussa muinoin vaikuttaneelta suurliikemieheltä meillekin yltäneillä arvopapereilla hankittu kesämökki Kirkkonummella.”

“Mikä ei ole aavistuksen verran epämuotoista vaikuttaa yhdentekevältä; - tästä seuraa että säännöttömyys, toisin sanoen odottamaton, yllätyksellinen ja hämmästyttävä ovat oleellinen ja tunnuspiirteinen osa kauneutta.”

“Mil olores, tristezas, historias, subían desde el empedrado, se asomaban a los balcones o a los portales de la calle Aribau. […] Mezcla de vidas, de calidades, de gustos, eso era la calle de Aribau. Yo misma: un elemento más, pequeño y perdido en ella.”

“Mila este o manifestare a puterii, o reactie de superioritate (un fel de lamentatie indiferenta, rece, care nu schimba cu nimic starea de spirit a celui care o declama), falsa pentru ca nu presupune reflectie, ci doar o constatare care porneste de la diferentierea dintre cel care sufera si cel care proclam mila, cel care se simte sigur pe sine in timp ce seamanul lui se prabuseste. Compasiunea provine semantic in apropiere, empatia sa este reala, bazandu-se pe unitatea dintre cel suferind si cel care isi atribuie fara menajamente suferinta - in timp ce mila este doar o scanare sau o verificare superficiala a diferentierii. Apropierea este, astfel, o modalitate de invatare existentiala, orizontal pentru ca presupune o modestie primara - in timp ce modalitatea verticala ar fi ruperea de tiparul «chipului si asemanrii», egoismul brut al celui care refuza alteritatea, preferand inchiderea de sine, fara scuza expansivitatii. Mila ar fi expresia deghizata al unui nihilism, care imparte lumea intre puternici si «dezavantajati» sau, dup amodelul romantic, intre subiect si «ceilalti», unde ultimul termen este anonim, lipsit de chip si tinde spre vid. «Cele mai bune intentii» sunt enuntate sub masca milei (poate chiar prin mijloace pecuniare), dar ele nu-l pot insela pe cel care isi pune problema din punct de vedere afectiv: cei care sunt adepti ai milei sunt despartiti de realitatea celor suferinzi de un ecran ce le cenzureaza orice participare din interior a atrocitatii. Compasiunea presupune trecerea acestei granite, care te apropie de cel supus traumei, te impinge in chiar spatiul celui «agresat».”

“Milady felt a consolation in seeing nature partake of the disorder of her heart. The thunder growled in the air like the passion and anger in her thoughts. It appeared to her that the blast as it swept along disheveled her brow, as it bowed the branches of the trees and bore away their leaves. She howled as the hurricane howled; and her voice was lost in the great voice of nature, which also seemed to groan with despair.”

“Milagro Humano (El Soneto)
Convertir el agua en vino no es un milagro,
Solo significa que estás borracho.
Compartir tu última gota de agua con alguien
que tiene sed es el verdadero milagro.
Sanar y ayudar son el mayor milagro,
Incluso si requiere el sacrificio del yo.
Un humano que ayuda a otro a sanar,
es el verdadero milagro personificado.
Así que despierta y trabaja, oh milagro humano,
Corre hacia los indefensos como la lluvia monzónica.
Lánzate a los pies de los olvidados,
No hay mayor nobleza, ni mayor divinidad.
Las oraciones no funcionan a menos que tú lo hagas.
A todas las oraciones, somos la respuesta.”

“Milan is my favorite team. Every weekend I check the Serie A results to see how Milan fared. Milan has really great players, like Seedorf, Ibra, Pato and Thiago Silva. Then there is Nesta who is a great champion, it's enough just to look at his career.”
“Milan is showing a new and different face. At Porta Nuova, too, when they started construction, everyone was up in arms, saying Milan was going to lose its character.”
“Milan, for me, is a city of discovery. You can find some amazing gardens behind some great houses; I also love finding beautiful galleries and incredible shops, but you have to explore. And the food is amazing.”
“Milan. What a beautiful place to die.”

“Milano, una scuola media statale, maggio 2014
«Professoressa, è arrivato un altro genitore, sa, per il colloquio…»
Piera alzò gli occhi al cielo e guardò l’orologio: undici e dieci minuti. Dieci minuti di ritardo e nessun appuntamento.
Sospirò.
Parlare con un altro genitore voleva dire perdere quasi completamente l’ora buca che di solito utilizzava per correggere i compiti o fare qualche piccola commissione. E, accidempolina, aveva visto quell’abitino nella merceria di viale Brianza. L’unica merceria ancora aperta a Milano e l’aveva beccata lei! Dio, non era forse patetico comprare i vestiti in merceria? Forse solo sua nonna e le sue diaboliche amichette novantenni lo facevano ancora. Ma l’abitino era a buon mercato, semplice come piaceva a lei e… color grigio topo. Possibile che si vestisse solo di grigio? E senza nessuna dannatissima sfumatura, per giunta!
Sorrise amaro, pensando ad altre sfumature, anche se non era quello il momento di piangere sulla sua castissima vita di single. Ora doveva incontrare il genitore ritardatario, privo di buona creanza e di un accidente di appuntamento.
Be’, per questa volta avrebbe chiuso un occhio, anche perché forse si trattava della mamma di Diamante De Braud che aveva convocato già da un paio di settimane, ma che ancora non si era vista. Secondo Diamante, che tutti chiamavano Didi, la madre era in Irlanda a risposarsi da qualche parte.
In Irlanda? A risposarsi con un leprechaun?
Di certo un’altra frottola della ragazzina.
Ok, era ora di vedere la genitrice inopportuna.
«Le dica che arrivo fra cinque minuti, Flaminia» disse.
La commessa la guardò con uno strano sorrisino sulle labbra. «Gli dica. È un papà. E non so se mi sono spiegata.»
Non so se mi sono spiegata. No che non ti sei spiegata, Flaminia! Ora anche le commesse erano diventate petulanti? E quel sorrisetto ammiccante che diavolo voleva dire?
Come se non avesse ricevuto nessuna gomitata metaforica nello sterno, finse di ributtarsi a capofitto sul compito che stava correggendo e con un che di acido rispose: «Gli dica, allora. Grazie».
«Il genitore mi ha anche detto di dirle che lui ha molta fretta…»
Piera alzò lo sguardo davanti a sé e sentì una fitta di rabbia trafiggerla. «È in ritardo e ha pure fretta?» Ora lo sistemo io, questo maleducato, pensò alzandosi con troppa foga e dirigendosi verso la porta con fare minaccioso.
«Il registro, professoressa! Non dovrebbe portarlo con sé?» le ricordò Flaminia.
Decisamente petulante.
Trattenendo un’imprecazione, che in ogni caso non sarebbe stata molto più spinta di un perdindincibacco!, Piera si bloccò, girò su immaginari cardini e tornò sui suoi passi. Poi, a testa alta e col registro ben stretto in mano, passò di fianco a Flaminia che la guardava ancora con quello strano sorrisino.
«Vedrà, professoressa, non se ne pentirà.»
«Forse sarà lui, a pentirsene» mormorò lei tra i denti.
Avrebbe detto il fatto suo a quel maleducato.
Come no?”

“Mild autism can give you a genius like Einstein. If you have severe autism, you could remain nonverbal. You don't want people to be on the severe end of the spectrum. But if you got rid of all the autism genetics, you wouldn't have science or art. All you would have is a bunch of social 'yak yaks.'”
“Mild brown eyes beckon me to the past, but memory provides no clue.”
“Mild depression is a gradual and sometimes permanent thing that undermines people the way rust weakens iron ... Like physical pain that becomes chronic, it is miserable not so much because it is intolerable in the moment as because it is intolerable to have known it in the moments gone and to look forward only to knowing it in the moments to come.”

“Mildred waves Carlos over. 'Let me look at you.' She eyes him up and down. 'I saw you when you walked in. What's with all those tattoos? Makes you look like a hooligan.' 'I suspect I am a hooligan,' he says to her. 'Whatever that means.”

“Mile tracks put more emphasis on the driver. On the longer tracks, you can drive flat out all the way around, so it's more of an engineering exercise. On a mile, you can't run flat out. You're constantly in traffic, there's more driver involvement.”

“Milena, sin poderlo evitar, casi sin darse cuenta, con el paso no de los años sino de los meses, empezó a despreciarlo. Le chocaba la forma como se vestía, la calidad y la cantidad de agua de colonia que se ponía, lo duro que hablaba, muchos detalles, en fin, que la iban a mantener en estado de ligera pero constante irritación y harían que hasta sus cualidades se volvieran defectos. Sus ojos grandes le producían una aversiónparecida a la que sentía por los relojazos brillantes que alguna vez a Don Saúl le había dado por usar.”

“Miles and I had been looking to do a martial arts show for some time. Our first two movies that we wrote were "Lethal Weapon 4" and "Shanghai Noon" with Jackie Chan. Then we sort of got pulled into the superhero world, but then you look around at what's not on television and there wasn't really a martial arts shows. There are shows that do martial arts to a degree, but there's not a martial arts show.”

“Miles away from everthing and everyone I've ever known or loved. I feel as if I've entered a new era of my life. What strange places our lives carry us to.”
“Miles Away
I want you and you are not here. I pause
in this garden, breathing the colour thought is
before language into still air. Even your name
is a pale ghost and, though I exhale it again
and again, it will not stay with me. Tonight
I make you up, imagine you, your movements clearer
than the words I have you say you said before.
Wherever you are now, inside my head you fix me
with a look, standing here whilst cool late light
dissolves into the earth. I have got your mouth wrong,
but still it smiles. I hold you closer, miles away,
inventing love, until the calls of nightjars
interrupt and turn what was to come, was certain,
into memory. The stars are filming us for no one.”
“Miles away, the red taillights of semi-trucks were moving along the interstate, and Dustin was suddenly aware that there were people inside them, that they were traveling to distant places and they would never know that he and Rusty were watching them.

“Miles Davis came in a couple of days and said, "Oh, man, I love that. Keep going." So he said, "Let me know when you need trumpet." And he came in, and he was sitting there, and I was very intimidated, because now he's going to play the trumpet on something that I wrote." He starts to play, and I go, "That's not right, but I don't know how to tell him it's not right." Finally he goes, "When are you going to tell me what to do?" He said, "This is your music. I know you know how it's supposed to sound. Stop fooling around. We don't have time."”
“Miles Davis fully embraced possibilities and delved into it. He was criticized heavily from the jazz side. He was supposed to be part of a tradition, but he didn't consider himself part of a tradition.”
“Miles Davis had been in retirement for five or six years and he was coming out of retirement and he was looking for young guys. Somebody gave him my name and he called me and said, "Can you show up at Columbia Studios in two hours?" I'm like, "Whoa, is this the real Miles Davis?" He's like, "Yeah." So I showed up and yeah, it was intimidating, but music is so important to me that the intimidation was all before the notes started.”
“Miles Davis had me play and he hired me the following week and after that, everything broke wide open.”
“Miles Davis is a major influence of mine in terms of the way that I am as a bandleader.”
