“Milk-livered man,
That bear'st a cheek for blows, a head for wrongs;
Who hast not in thy brows an eye discerning
Thine honor from thy suffering; [that not know'st
Fools do those villains pity who are punished
Ere they have done their mischief. Where's thy drum?
France spreads his banners in our noiseless land,
With plumed helm thy state begins to threat,
Whilst thou, a moral fool, sits still and cries
'Alack, why does he so?']”
“Milk?” Lady Bridgerton asked. “Thank you,” Gareth replied. “No sugar, if you please.” “Hyacinth takes hers with three,” Gregory said, reaching for a piece of shortbread. “Why,” Hyacinth ground out, “would he care?” “Well,” Gregory replied, taking a bite and chewing, “he is your special friend.”

“Milkers don’t spend half as long with their mothers." Eli spread his chore coat over Little Joe. "Not more than a few weeks. Sometimes one day. Maybe not even ... If you were a peeper, it’d be even worse. They don’t even get to see their mamas. They’re still jelly beans when they’re left alone to hatch.”

“Milkyway Messiah Sonnet (Simplified Version)
Whenever humanity degrades into inhumanity,
Whenever the oppressed cry out for a little dignity,
Whenever political animals come and sell hate,
Whenever morons 'n their yes men ruin harmony,
Whenever some cavemen fly the flag of tribalism,
Whenever love of luxury undermines accountability,
Whenever gentleness is overpowered by greed,
Whenever megalomania tramples heart's humility,
Whenever goodness is patronized by cold smartness,
Whenever compassion is vilified by indifference,
Whenever selfishness is accepted as norm and sanity,
Whenever accountability is deemed as an offence,
Embracing affliction, from the dust 'n dirt of soil 'n street,
You the Milkyway Messiah is to rise as the sentient shield.”

“Milkyway Messiah (The Sonnet)
Yada yada hi dharmasya glanirbhavati bharata,
Cada vez que los oprimidos claman esperanza,
Siyasi hayvanlar ne zaman gelip nefret satarsa,
Whenever morons 'n their yes men ruin armonia,
Jab jab some jhandus rashtrabadka jhanda lehraye,
När kärleken till lyx väger tyngre än socialt ansvar,
Immer wenn das herz von gier überwältigt wird,
When humility is trampled by megalomaniacal desire,
Sempre que a bondade é dominada pelo intelecto,
Quando la compassione è sopraffatta dall'indifferenza,
Kapag tinanggap ang pagiging makasarili bilang batas,
Whenever accountability is deemed as misdemeanor,
Embracing affliction, from the dust 'n dirt of soil 'n street,
You the Milkyway Messiah is to rise as the sentient shield.”

“Mille anni addietro il poeta Han Yun scrisse: «Tutto ciò che non ha pace griderà forte». Paragonò il bisogno umano di esprimere i sentimenti con la scrittura alla forza naturale che spinge le piante a stormire nel vento, o il metallo a risuonare quando viene percosso. Formulata quella considerazione, seppi cosa fare. Ci lavoravo da anni. Privata del mondo esterno, avevo passato la vita a guardarmi dentro e le mie emozioni erano finemente accordate.”

“Mille pensieri gli passavano per la testa, ma non arrinisciva a fermarne uno. Arrivato al faro non s’arrestò. C’era, proprio sotto il faro, uno scoglio grosso, scivoloso di lippo verde. Riuscì ad arrivarci rischiando ad ogni passo di cadere in mare, ci s’assittò sopra, cartoccio in mano. Ma non lo raprì, sentiva una specie di ondata acchianargli da qualche parte del corpo verso il petto e da lì salire ancora verso la gola, formando un groppo che l’assufficava, gli faceva mancare il fiato. Provava il bisogno, la necessità, di piangere, ma non gli veniva. Poi, nella confusione dei pensieri che gli traversavano il ciriveddro, alcune parole divennero di prepotenza più nitide, fino al punto di comporre un verso:
«Padre che muori tutti i giorni un poco...».
Cos’era? Una poesia? E di chi? Quando l’aveva letta? Ripeté il verso a mezza voce:
«Padre che muori tutti i giorni un poco...».
E finalmente dalla gola sino a quel momento chiusa, serrata, il grido gli niscì, ma più che un grido un alto lamento d’animale ferito al quale, immediate, fecero seguito le lacrime inarrestabili e liberatorie.”

“Mille rêves en moi font de douces brûlure :
Puis par instants mon cœur triste est comme un aubier
Qu'ensanglante l'or jeune et sombre des coulures.”
“Millennial guys seemed, to the sociologists and anthropologists who studied them, to have attitudes toward women that portended a new era of equity—especially at work. But the reality was, indeed, far more complicated. Later surveys and studies would suggest that Millennial men as a whole turned out to be as “traditional,” and even less egalitarian, in their attitudes towards gender as their fathers—which made experts eventually posit that growing up with fathers impacted by gender masculinity crisis made them more, not less, resistant to gender equality.”

“Millennial voters are very concerned about climate change and will vote for candidates who are planning to address it. But the systems that are in place - people talk about gerrymandering and the money that's in politics, this is a real thing, a real effect - and it's hard for climate change-denying legislators to get voted out. But I predict it will happen.”
“Millennials (aka Generation Y) are great at social media (Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Twitter,Tumblr, Instagram, Flickr, Snapchat, Pinterest, YouTube, Vimeo, and Periscope) but lack time tested social skills ( patience, humility, active listening, respect for parents, teachers, elderly)”
“Millennials are an easy group to identify in terms of their appearance and are therefore highly subject to being stereotyped. When a negative stereotype about a group is relevant to performance on a specific task, it is referred to as "stereotype threat." Individuals who are highly identified with a particular group may experience increased susceptibility to stereotype threat.Understanding perceptions and why they may exist helps to explain and demystify tension and conflict that surfaces as a result of generational discord.”
“Millennials are first and foremost problem solvers. They are optimistic. They are well educated. They are creative. They are open to change. They are learners. They are technologically savvy. They are open-minded. They are imaginative. They think third-way. They want to achieve. They want to contribute. They are flexible. They are achievement oriented.”
“Millennials are often portrayed as apathetic, disinterested, tuned out and selfish. None of those adjectives describe the Millennials I've been privileged to meet and work with.”
“Millennials aren't looking for a hipper Christianity.”

“Millennials aren't looking for a hipper Christianity. We're looking for a truer Christianity, a more authentic Christianity. Like every generation before ours and every generation after, we're looking for Jesus-the same Jesus who can be found in the strange places he's always been found: in bread, in wine, in baptism, in the Word, in suffering, in community, and among the least of these.”

“Millennials aspire to marry the blue skies thinking of the Boomers with the grass-roots mindset of GenX.”
“Millennials bring a unique perspective to business. Those of us who were in college and entering adulthood and beginning our careers during the global recession that started in 2008 have a unique view on business and economics.”
“Millennials do not know their country at war. They don't see militant Islam as evil. They don't see Islamic terrorism as evil. If they're 30, 911, 2001, they were teenagers, there's been so much propaganda about that. The United States largely has been blamed for these acts of terror, presidents like Bush with their torture have created terrorists and so forth. They've really been given a dose of anti-Americanism, well, I think since they first started going to school but it intensified once they got to high school and college.”
“Millennials expect to create a better future, using the collaborative power of digital technology.”
“Millennials, instead of a danger, are really a reflection of the society in which they grew up in, and in which all of us now live.”

“Millennials really don't turn out in numbers that people expect and hope for. Speaking of global warming and climate change, you know all these emails that WikiLeaks is dumping? I haven't found any on climate change. We got emails from Hillary to her campaign staff and her campaign staff to Hillary.”
“Millennials think Maxine Waters is God-sent. She's an oracle! She holds the magic truths. She's one of the few Democrats willing to say what she says, and these young Millennials are just glomming onto her like you can't believe. It's one of the most amazing social science experiments to look at this happen.”
“Millennials want to find meaning in their work, and they want to make a difference. They want to be listened to. They want you to understand that they fuse life and work. They want to have a say about how they do their work. They want to be rewarded. They want to be recognized. They want a good relationship with their boss. They want to learn. But most of all, they want to succeed. They want to have fun!”
“Millennials: We lost the genetic lottery. We graduated high school into terrorist attacks and wars. We graduated college into a recession and mounds of debt. We will never acquire the financial cushion, employment stability, and material possessions of our parents. We are often more educated, experienced, informed, and digitally fluent than prior generations, yet are constantly haunted by the trauma of coming of age during the detonation of the societal structure we were born into. But perhaps we are overlooking the silver lining. We will have less money to buy the material possessions that entrap us. We will have more compassion and empathy because our struggles have taught us that even the most privileged can fall from grace. We will have the courage to pursue our dreams because we have absolutely nothing to lose. We will experience the world through backpacking, couch surfing, and carrying on interesting conversations with adventurers in hostels because our bank accounts can't supply the Americanized resorts. Our hardships will obligate us to develop spiritual and intellectual substance. Maybe having roommates and buying our clothes at thrift stores isn't so horrible as long as we are making a point to pursue genuine happiness.”
“Millennials, in particular, consider themselves to be spiritual, but they're not necessarily going to anybody's church. It's not like the world is becoming hardcore, Richard Dawkins-atheist, but people are looking to sort of synthesize science - people love science, especially the millennials.”
“Millennias old lies can be gradually accepted as truth.

“Millennium Trails will be very tangible gifts to the future. We will walk on them and hike on them and bike on them. They will be accessible to people of all ages and abilities. But in a very important way they represent more than the tangible effect of the trail. They represent a commitment and an investment in what kind of country we want in the next century.”
“Miller believes, like many theists, that religion brings us beyond the bounds of materialism. (Ironically he insists on a material explanation [evolution] for our existence.) However, he fails to explain how religion does this. Will religion enable us to overcome Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle? Will the secrets of Miller's black box of quantum mechanics be revealed? Will chance and chaos be things of the past? If religion can't help us solve these mysteries, take us beyond the bounds of our material understanding, then Miller's belief is just so much wishful thinking. However, during one of his more coherent, non-blonde moments, Miller makes one of his strongest points: Science only concerns itself with the material universe, so we must look beyond science if we are to have morals. I can't say I disagree. However, morals don't have to come from an imaginary sky daddy. They could be rationally conceived and practiced to create an orderly society. And, why should science limit itself to the material universe? Morals can be tried and tested; bad morals can be weeded out while good morals are preserved. Such has already happened. Consider the fact that most parents no longer obey God's command to kill their children when they misbehave. Yet, those same parents abstain from stealing and adultery.”

“Miller identifies the 'hidden cruelty' in child-rearing as the repetition of 'poisonous pedagogy' inflicted by the parents of the generation before and as providing the soil in which obedience to authoritarianism and fascism take root”

“Millet birbirine sarılmayı unuttu, birbirinin gözünün içine muhabbetle bakmayı, birbirlerine sevgi duymayı, saygı duymayı. İnsanlar insan olmayı unuttu. Ne güzel konuştu bu akşam Zekiye Hanım. Hani şu yağmurla ilgili 'Dünya kendini temizliyor' demişti ya. Gerçekten de bu kadar kötülük, bu kadar pislik, bu kadar sahtekârlık, bu kadar kabalık ancak yeni bir tufanla ortadan kalkar. Eskisinden çok daha güçlü, çok daha acımasız, çok daha yıkıcı, her şeyi silip süpüren bir tufanla. Ne olacak, kaç kere yıkıldı bu dünya, kaç kere kuruldu, yeniden kurulur. Ama belki insanlar akıllanırlar.”

“Milleti yapan unsurlardan biri de din olduğuna göre, Türklerin dini üzerinde de durmaya mecburuz. Hiç şüphe yok ki, Türklerin dini müslümanlıktır. Eski dinimiz olan şamanlıktan da bazı unsurlar alarak bir Türk müslümanlığı haline gelen bu din, on yüzyıldan beri bizim milli dinimiz olmuştur. Bununla beraber Türk olmak, için mutlaka müslüman olmaya lüzum yoktur. Çünkü bu günkü Türkler arasında birkaç yüzbin şaman, birkaçyüzbin hıristiyan ve hatta birkaç bin Musevi Türk (Karayımlar)de vardır. Din ayrılığı yüzünden bunları Türklükten çıkarmaya hakkımız yoktur. Zaten, hıristiyan Türkler olan Gagavuzların Türkiye'de yerleşenleri, çoğunlukla müslüman olmuşlardır. Onlar bunu, Türklüğün vazgeçilmez bir şartı saydıkları için yapmışlardır.”

“Millie was never possessive, never effusive, and never demonstrative. Her even-tempered approach to her marriage should have been enough to convince everyone that she admired, but did not love, her husband. Yet for years now, his sisters had suspected something else.
Perhaps unrequited love was like a specter in the house, a presence that brushed at the edge of senses, a heat in the dark, a shadow under the sun.”
