“O jihadismo combate-se na sombra, com os serviços de informação. Como, aparentemente, não se está a conseguir travar na sombra, usam-se as palavras para compensar a falta de eficiência das forças de segurança.”

“O Joker tinha-se efetivamente tornado um rei e vivia numa casa dourada no céu. Os cidadãos procuravam clichés e faziam por recordar que ainda havia pássaros nas árvores e o céu não tinha desabado e ainda era, muitas vezes, azul. A cidade continuava de pé. E no rádio e nas aplicações de música que soavam nos auscultadores Bluetooth dos jovens descuidados, a vida continuava. Os Yankees continuavam a estar preocupados com a sua rotação de lançamento, os Mets continuavam a fazer fraca figura e os knicks continuavam a estar condenados pela maldição de serem os knicks. A Internet continuava cheia de mentiras e o negócio da verdade estava falido. Os melhores tinham perdido toda a convicção e os piores estavam repletos de uma intensidade apaixonada e a fraqueza dos justos era revelada pela ira dos injustos. Mas a República conservava-se mais ou menos intacta. Permitam-me que o deixe aqui expresso, porque era uma afirmação muitas vezes feita para consolar aqueles de nós que não eram fáceis de consolar. De certo modo é uma ficção, mas eu repito-a. Sei que depois da tempestade vinha outra tempestade, e outra ainda. Sei que o mau tempo vai estar nas previsões meteorológicas para sempre e que os dias felizes não estão de volta e que a intolerância é o que está na moda e o sistema está na realidade viciado, mas não como o palhaço maligno nos tentou fazer crer. Às vezes os maus ganham, e que se faz quando o mundo em que se acredita se revela uma lua de papel e surge um planeta escuro que diz “Não. O mundo sou eu.” Como vivemos no seio dos nossos compatriotas quando não sabemos quais deles se contam entre os mais de sessenta milhões que puseram o horror no poder, quando não podemos distinguir quem figura entre os noventa milhões que encolheram os ombros e ficaram em casa, ou quando os nossos concidadãos nos dizem que saber coisas é elitista e detestam as elites, e tudo aquilo que sempre tivemos é a nossa mente e fomos criados na crença do encanto do conhecimento, não aquele disparate do conhecimento-é-poder, mas sim o conhecimento é beleza, e depois tudo isso, a educação, a arte, a música, os filmes, se torna uma razão para ser abominado, e a criatura surgida do Spiritus Mundi se ergue e avança indolentemente em direção a Washington, DC, para nascer. O que fiz foi recolher-me à vida privada- agarrar-me à vida como a conhecera, ao seu quotidiano e à sua força, e insistir na capacidade do universo moral dos Jardins de sobreviver até ao mais feroz dos ataques. E agora, por conseguinte, deixem a minha história ter os seus momentos derradeiros, no meio do macrolixo que possa haver à volta de lerem isto, seja a manufactrovérsia, qualquer que seja o horror ou a estupidez ou fealdade ou vergonha. Deixem-me convidar o gigantesco rei do cabelo verde de banda desenhada vitorioso, com os seus direitos cinematográficos de um bilião de dólares, a sentar-se no banco traseiro e deixar que sejam as pessoas reais a conduzir o autocarro. As nossas pequenas vidas são talvez a única coisa que logramos compreender...”

“O Jorge Luis Borges dizia que o escritor publica seus livros para livrar-se deles, para não ficar reescrevendo-os ao infinito. Mas Borges, que nunca fez um texto muito longo, foi um grande exemplo de quem sempre soube onde parar.”

“O jornalista é um poeta delicado: sempre acha o rascunho mais sincero do que o publicado.”
“O joy of suffering! To struggle against great odds! to meet enemies undaunted! To be entirely alone with them! to find how much one can stand! To look strife, torture, prison, popular odium, death, face to face! To mount the scaffold! to advance to the muzzles of guns with perfect nonchalance! To be indeed a God!”

“O joy! that in our embers Is something that doth live, That nature yet remembers What was so fugitive!”

“O.K., let's go." And again, cheers rang through Southwick House. Then the commanders rushed from their chairs and dashed outside to get to their command posts. Within thirty seconds the mess room was empty, except for Eisenhower, The outflow of the others and his sudden isolation were symbolic. A minute earlier he had been the most powerful man in the world. Upon his word the fate of thousands of men depended, and the future of great nations. The moment he uttered the word, however, he was powerless. For the next two or three days, there was almost nothing he could do that would in any way change anything. The invasion could not be stopped, not by him, not by anyone. A captain leading his company onto Omaha, or a platoon sergeant at Utah, would for the immediate future play a greater role than Eisenhower. He could now only sit and wait.”

“O.K., so I'm not so smart. I'm working class. But it's the working class that keeps the world running, and it's the working class that gets exploited. What the hell kind of revolution have you got just tossing out big words that working-class people can't understand? What the hell kind of social revolution is that? I mean, I'd like to make the world a better place, too. If somebody's really being exploited, we've got to put a stop to it. That's what I believe, and that's why I ask questions.”

“O kadar umut dolu ki, en kötü davranışa bile bir sebep buluyordu hep. Saflık, salaklık filan değil, çaresizlik. Bu bataklıkta bir genç kızın kuracağı düş bundan renkli olmaz. İşte o düşte de Engin gibi çakallar bile bir anda beyaz atlı prense dönüşür.”

“O-kay. Kind of freaky. I’m now standing in an actual tomb, in pitch darkness, with only a vampire to keep me company. Last week if you’d sworn on a stack of Bibles that I’d be okay with all of this, I wouldn’t have believed you.”

“O know, sweet love, I always write of you,
And you and love are still my argument,
So all my best is dressing old words new,
Spending again what is already spent:
For as the sun is daily new and old,
So is my love still telling what is told.”

“O Kypris and the Nereids, I pray you
to sail my brother home unharmed
and let him accomplish all
that is in his heart
and be released from former error
and carry joy to his friends
and bane to enemies and let no one
bring us more grief.
Let him honor me his sister.
But black torment
suffering for early days,
citizens accused.
Was it over millet seed?
Pure Kypris, put aside
old anger and free him from
evil sorrow”
“O, küçük bir kız çocuğunun ayak izlerini bıraktığı kum parkının içinde yürüyen beyaz elbiseli, kırmızı bandanalı kızdı benim için. Topukları soğuktan kızarıyordu, yüzünde asi bir gülümseme vardı ve tüm kayıpları gözlerinin içine gömüp beni kendi dünyasında bir kum tanesi olmaya ikna edebiliyordu.”

“O, lack and doubt and fear can only come
Because of plenty, confidence, and love!
They are the shadow-forms about their feet,
Because they are not perfect crystal-clear
To the all-searching sun in which they live.
Dread of its loss is Beauty’s certain seal!”

“O lass such a fine show as I saw on Wednesday last. I went to the camp at Duddingston and saw the Prince review his men. He was sitting in his tent when I first came to the field. The ladies made a circle round the tent and after we had gazed our fill at him he came out of the tent with a grace and majesty that is inexpressible. He saluted all the circle with an air of grandeur and affability capable of charming the most obstinate Whig.”

“O leitor não é passivo, ele opera um trabalho produtivo, ele reescreve. Altera o sentido, faz o que bem entende, distorce, reemprega, introduz variantes, deixa de lado os usos corretos. Mas ele também é transformado: encontra algo que não esperava e não sabe nunca onde isso poderá levá-lo.”

“O liberalismo está intimamente associado a certas formas de conhecimento, particularmente ao método científico, entendido como o melhor meio de compreender e controlar o mundo exterior. Assume que os indivíduos são os melhores juízes dos seus próprios interesses e são capazes de assimilar e testar a informação empírica sobre o mundo que os rodeia ao fazer esses juízos. Embora os juízos inevitavelmente variem, existe a crença liberal de que num mercado livre de ideias, as ideias mais válidas acabarão por expulsar as más ideias no processo de deliberação e comprovação.”
