“Nwella came up with a silver bowl and a big soft brush, and before Madrigal knew what was happening Nwella had dusted her chest, neck, and shoulders with something that glittered. “What—?” “Sugar,” she said, giggling. “Nwella!” Madrigal tried to brush it off, but it was dust-fine and it clung: sugar powder, which girls wore when they planned to be tasted. If her rose petal lips and naked back were not enough invitation to Thiago, Madrigal thought, this certainly was. Its telltale shimmer might as well have been a sign that said LICK ME.”

“Nya nodded. "So many people come here without an understanding of the primary cause of the Civil War. Some people think Jefferson wrote the Constitution. I mean there are just so many ways that our public education is failing people by just not giving them the context to understand that Monticello is a plantation, and that slavery was a system that created the economic prosperity that enabled our country to exist. That is not something most people understand. I don't really blame them, because they're not taught to engage that history, and most people are not out here reading all these books that are piled on my desk.”

“Nyali wartawan adalah salah satu modal utama dalam kerja-kerja investigasi. Manajemen nyali adalah sesuatu yang harus dilakukan tidak saja oleh mereka yang bekerja di lapangan, tetapi juga tim pendukungnya. Tim pendukung yang bekerja di kantor tidak boleh menjadi "provokator" yang bisa menjerumuskan rekannya di lapangan dalam resiko, tetapi di saat yang sama mereka juga tidak boleh menjadi faktior yang melucuti semangat.”

“Nyoka ni mnyama mdogo lakini anayeogopwa hata na majambazi wakubwa. Adui wa dirishani alipogeuka kumwangalia Murphy, alimwangalia pia mwenzake na kucheka bila Murphy kujua kilichofanya wafurahi. Ghafla, kuna kitu kilitokea! Nyoka mkubwa aina ya swila aliruka toka dirishani na kuanguka katika mabega ya yule adui. Adui aliruka kwa woga na kuanguka chini … halafu yakatokea maajabu! Bunduki ilifyatuka kutoka nje, ikaripuka kwa sauti ya juu, walinzi wote wa Murphy wakaruka na kuanguka chini shaghalabaghala, na kufa papo kwa papo!”

“Nyota ni kipaji, kipawa, takdiri, karama, au uweza; ni kiashiria cha rohoni kinachoonyesha mtu atakuwa nani baadaye, mafanikio ya mtu, au takdiri ya maisha ya mwanadamu. Unabii na nyota ya ufalme ni kibali cha Mungu katika maisha ya mtu. Kupata kibali hicho, tembea na watu sahihi katika maisha yako (tembea na watu ambao Mungu amekuchagulia kushika funguo za takdiri ya maisha yako). Tamka na kukiri kibali cha Mungu katika maisha yako yote. Panda mbegu za kibali cha Mungu katika udongo wa maisha yako. Jifunze kutenda mema bila malipo, kwani wema ni mbegu ya kibali cha Mungu. Jali mambo ya ufalme wa Mungu.”

“Nyttemmin kadonneessa entisessä maassani oli kaikki mennyt alamäkeä vuosikaudet. Tulvia, tulipaloja, rajumyrskyjä, hurrikaaneja, kuivuuskausia, vesipulaa, maanjäristyksiä. Liian paljon yhtä ja liian vähän toista. Kunnallistekniikka oli romahtamaisillaan - miksi kukaan ei ollut purkanut atomireaktoreja ennen kuin oli liian myöhäistä? Talouskriisi, työttömyys, syntyvyyden lasku. Ihmiset säikähtivät. Sitten he suuttuivat. Tehokkaita lääkkeitä ei ollut. Tarvittiin syntipukki. Miksi luulin, että kaikki siitä huolimatta jatkuisi entiseen tapaan? Siksi kai, että näistä asioista oli puhuttu niin pitkään. Sitä ei tahdo uskoa, että taivas putoaa niskaan, ennen kuin saa murikan päähänsä.”

“Nyx’s quasar eyes burned. “Of course not. I would not let my horses eat you, any more than I would let Akhlys kill you. Such fine prizes, I will kill myself!” Annabeth didn’t feel particularly witty or courageous, but her instincts told her to take the initiative, or this would be a very short conversation. “Oh, don’t kill yourself!” she cried. “We’re not that scary.” The goddess lowered her whip. “What? No, I didn’t mean—” “Well, I hope not!” Annabeth looked at Percy and forced a laugh. “We wouldn’t want to scare her, would we?” “Ha, ha,” Percy said weakly. “No, we wouldn’t.”

“Nyx was just visible behind the wall, her eyes glowing like stars in the darkness of Tartarus. "Let me know when you are ready to see your father, and I will guide you to the palace myself. The Blood Moon draws near. Adjust your eyes, Pluto, to see what is so clearly in front of you." With a wave of her hand, the gates slammed shut, and the Goddess of the Night vanished from sight.”

“Náboženské symboly jsou fenomény života, prostě skutečnostmi, nikoli názory. Když církev po takovou a takovou dobu lpí na tom, že Slunce obíhá kolem Země, ale v 19. století toto hledisko opouští, pak se může v tomto ohledu odvolat na psychologickou pravdu, že pro miliony lidí vskutku Slunce obíhalo kolem Země a teprve v 19. století dosáhlo větší množství lidí takové jistoty intelektuální funkce, že mohli uznat důkazy o planetární povaze Země. Bohužel neexistuje žádná pravda bez lidí, kteří ji chápou.”

“Não aceitamos a teoria preconizada por alguns conceitos clássicos em economia, hoje já superados, de que os cortes nas despesas devem ser bruscos, totais em todas as linhas, para que através deles se venha a conseguir o equilíbrio orçamentário. Entendemos que, no caso, os cortes deverão atingir apenas os empreendimentos que tenham curso no processo inflacionário, mas nunca os que contribuam para o desenvolvimento da riqueza nacional.”

“Não acredito em Deus porque nunca o vi. Se ele quisesse que eu acreditasse nele, Sem dúvida que viria façar comigo E entraria pela minha porta dentro Dizendo-me - Aquí estou! [...] Mas se Deus é as flores e as árvores E os montes e o sol e o luar, Então acredito nele, Então acredito nele a toda a hora, E a minha vida é toda uma oração e uma missa, E uma comunhão com os olhos e pelos ouvidos. Mas se Deus é as árvores e as flores E os mones e o luar e o sol, Para que lhe chamo Deus?”

“Não admitia que os conflitos com a esposa tivessem origem no ar rarefeito da casa, atribuindo-os à natureza mesma do casamento: uma invenção absurda que só podia existir pela graça infinita de Deus. Ia contra toda razão científica que duas pessoas apenas conhecidas, sen parentesco nenhum entre si, com caracteres diferentes, com culturas diferentes, e até com sexos diferentes, se vissem comprometidas de repente a viver juntas, a dormir na mesma cama, a compartilhar dois destinos que talvez estivessem determinados em sentidos diferentes. Dizia: "O problema do casamento é que se acaba todas as noites depois de se fazer o amor, e é preciso tornar a reconstruí-lo todas as manhãs antes do café.”
