“Mio padre me lo ripeteva di continuo, a volte me ne andavo di casa anche solo per questo rimprovero. La mia posizione sbagliata mentre mangiavo, mentre dormivo, mentre scopavo. La mia posizione sbagliata.
La mia posizione sbagliata mentre vivevo, mentre amavo, mentre sceglievo. La mia posizione nuda.”

“Mir fällt es nicht ganz leicht, Ihre Schlussfolgerungen nachzuvollziehen. Ich glaube ehrlich gesagt nicht daran, dass mich eine Waldfee mit einem Todesfluch belegt hat, weil ich ihr nicht beim Blumenpflücken geholfen habe. Mein Tag war voller Rückschläge und unglücklicher Zufälle, aber das hat weder mit meinem Karma noch mit irgendwelchen Flüchen oder den Sternkonstellationen am Himmel zu tun. An manchen Tagen läuft es eben schlechter als an anderen. So einfach ist das.”

“Mir koji donosi pomirenje s onim što je čovjeka zadesilo, a u kojem uspijeva shvatiti da odjednom ništa više nije važno kao spokoj, jer sve što je imalo smisla ranije, u nečemu i nekome drugom, najednom je transformirano u utočište koje smo samima sebi, ako smo do sebe uspjeli doprijeti.”

“Mir nije isto što i sloboda. U dubini svačije duše skriva se želja za mirom... Sve vojske svijeta uz bojni polič u srcima nose ljubav prema miru. To ne znači da će taj mir doneti slobodu za svakoga.”

“Mir selbst fremd und dieser Welt, ausgerüstet mit keinem anderen Hilfsmittel als mit einem Denken, das sich selbst negiert, sobald es eine Behauptung aufstellt - was ist das für eine Situation, in der ich nur Frieden finden kann durch die Ablehnung des Wissens und des Lebens, [...] Alles ist auf das Zustandekommen jenes vergifteten Friedens eingerichtet, den Sorglosigkeit, Trägheit des Herzens oder tödliche Entsagung schenken. Auch der Verstand sagt mir also auf seine Weise, dass diese Welt absurd ist.”

“Mir war mein Land über geworden, seine Kleinkrämer mit ihrem notorischen Vergessen, und das Leben war mir zu kostbar, um mich wie die meisten meiner Freunde in eine Nische zu verkriechen [...]”

“Mir wurde in der Ambulanz gesagt, ich sei eine mutige junge Frau, weil ich mich getraut habe, Hilfe anzunehmen. Im ersten Moment wollte ich protestieren, weil es sich nicht wie Mut angefühlt hat, sondern eher wie Aufgeben. Aber daran zu arbeiten, besser zu werden, ist eigentlich das Gegenteil von Aufgeben. Ich habe es ja schon Tariq gesagt: Es fühlt sich eher so an, als könnte ich nach langer Zeit wieder daran glauben, dass alles wirklich gut werden kann. Es fühlt sich auch ein klein wenig wie damals an, als ich mit den Sadeem-Geschwistern und Hama auf dem Dach stand und auf Wien runtergeblickt habe. Als wäre ich unverwüstlich.”

“Mir wurde schlecht. So schlecht, ich hatte das Gefühl, ich müsste kotzen, und fragte mich, wieso die Leute einem nicht erzählten, dass Liebe körperlicher Schmerz war. Wie ein Tritt, ein Schlag, ein Stich aus dem Nichts.”

“Mira, cariño, a nadie le pasaría nunca por la cabeza hacer una operación a un niño sin someterlo antes a una prueba. ¡Y nadie soñaría siquiera en separar a un niño de su daimonion! La única cosa que se le hace es un pequeñísimo corte y a partir de aquel momento ya no hay otra cosa que felicidad. ¡Felicidad para siempre! Tu daimonion es para ti un amigo y un compañero maravilloso mientras eres joven pero, cuando llegas a a pubertad, una edad que ya estás a punto de alcanzar, los daimonions te transmiten una gran cantidad de pensamientos y de sentimientos muy desagradables y eso es precisamente lo que hace que el Polvo penetre en el interior. Gracias a una rápida operación realizada antes de que esto suceda, se alejan para siempre las complicaciones. Y tu daimonion sigue contigo... sólo que queda desconectado de ti. Se convierte en... un cachorrillo encantador. ¡El mejor cachorrillo del mundo! ¿No te gustaría tener un cachorrillo? (Marisa Coulter)”

“Mira, las mujeres son como el fuego, como las llamas. Algunas son como velas, luminosas e inofensivas. Algunas son como chispas, o como brasas, o como las luciérnagas que perseguimos las noches de verano. Algunas son como hogueras, un derroche de luz y de calor para una sola noche, y quieren que después las dejen en paz.Algunas son como el fuego de la chimenea: no muy espectaculares, pero por debajo tienen cálidas y rojas brasas que arden mucho tiempo.
Pero Dianne... Dianne es como una cascada de chispas que sale de un afilado cuchillo de hierro que Dios acerca a la piedra de afilar. No puedes evitar mirar, no puedes evitar desearla. Hasta es posible que acerques una mano durante un segundo. pero no puedes dejarla allí. Te partirá el corazón.”

“Mira Levenson. Aged twelve. Looks, long dark shiny hair, dark brown eyes (almost black), brown skin. Beautiful. Favorite colour, copper orange, I think. Personality, clever, bright, serious, shy, funny without realizing it, holds back her thoughts, mystery girl, arty. What I've noticed: she's stronger than she thinks she is; she doesn't speak much ay school. What I know: she's got a loud laugh (when she lets it out). Her best friend is Millie Lockhart. She doesn't need Millie as much as she thinks she does. Her grandmother is dying and she loves her. She started talking in Pat Print's class. I know she doesn't know how much I think of her, how much I miss her if she's not around. What I think she thinks about me is that I'm a bit of a joker, but I'm deadly serious.

“Mira’s face clouded over and she seized Bryony's hand. "I shall fraternize with whomever I please," she said firmly. "And besides that, Bryony Gray is the very best sort of person. And you'd think that too, if you spent more than five minutes with her. I should think you of all people would know not to judge books by their covers.”

“Mira sat down across from her. ‘The thing about ending up old, broke, alone is you feel so stupid. But it’s not like one had a choice. The real tragedy is if you could not put yourself forward in youth . . . you pay . . . now. Thus you pay young and you pay old. In the middle you run around with your head cut off.’
Lucia looked down at her newspaper. ‘Your real problem is you have a boyfriend who doesn’t want to kiss you.’
Mira ignored that. ‘What I like about your book, by the way, is that it’s vulnerable. And risky. And you just keep going. That is what I like so much. You just kept going.”

“Mira sat down on the rim of the fountain. The marble ledge was damp, and mist sprinkled her skin. Coins shimmered under the water like fish scales.
She counted them, each one a wish, and wondered how love could be anything but good.”

“Mira, somos viejas, pequeño, demasiado viejas y hemos vivido bastante. Hemos vivido demasiado. Para quien sabe tanto como nosotras nada es importante ya. Todo se repite eternamente: el día y la noche, el verano y el invierno... el mundo está vacío y no tiene sentido.”
“Mira thought she had come home to her countrymen and to her remaining family, but in fact, she had come home to a country torn apart by civil war and into a city about to become the center of the most devastating war the Jews had ever known.”

“Mirabelle is not affected by a man’s failures to approach her, as her own self-depreciating attitude never allows the idea that he would in the first place.”
“Mirabelle? Mirabelle Bevan? Well, I’ll be blowed!”
Mirabelle started, almost spilling her drink. It took her a moment to realize who the handsome man was, now his hair was greying at the edges and he was out of uniform. Puffing laconically on a cigarette, martini in hand, he wore a lounge suit and an understated silk tie with a discreet regimental insignia woven into the fabric.
“Eddie,” she smiled. “What are you doing here?”
“Mirabelle replaces the absent friends with books and television mysteries of the PBS kind. The books are mostly nineteenth-century novels in which women are poisoned or are doing the poisoning. She does not read these books as a romantic lonely hearts turning pages in the isolation of her room, not at all. She is instead an educated spirit with a sense of irony. She loves the gloom of these period novels, especially as kitsch, but beneath it all she finds that a part of her indentifies with all that darkness.”
“Mirabelle sat down, dropping into the cushions like a ball being caught in a large leather glove.”

“Miracle and Migraine (Sonnet 1370)
Words are my leisure,
Words are my life.
Words are my gift to thee,
Use 'em wisely for light.
Kind words cost us nothing,
Cruel words will cost us all.
Faith in people costs us nothing,
Systemic mistrust will end us all.
It is common knowledge in the circle,
I don't control words, I get visions.
However, every miracle takes its toll,
Hence, the migraines are getting worse.
I don't mind, so long as I am ointment.
You keep the magic, I'll keep the pain.”

“Miracle at St. Anna.' I was challenged by Spike Lee. When he offered me the film, he looked me square in the eye and said, 'You start this film off and you end this film. I don't want a dry eye in the theatre. Can you pull that off?' He was dead serious.”

“Miracle Human (The Sonnet)
Turning water into wine is no miracle,
It just means you are high on something.
Real miracle is to share your last drop,
With someone who is suffering.
To heal and to help are the highest miracle,
Even if it requires the self to be sacrificed.
A mortal who bears agony for others,
Is the real miracle personified.
So wake up and work O Miracle Human,
Rush to the helpless as monsoon rain.
Cast yourself at the feet of the forgotten,
There is nothing more noble and humane.
Prayers don't work for there's no merciful almighty.
Answer to all prayers is a human practicing humanity.”
