“Parasites are not only incredibly diverse; they are also incredibly successful. There are parasitic stretches of DNA in your own genes, some of which are called retrotransposons. Many of the parasitic stretches were originally viruses that entered our DNA. Most of them don't do us any harm. They just copy and insert themselves in other parts of our DNA, basically replicating themselves. Sometimes they hop into other species and replicate themselves in a new host. According to one estimate, roughly one-third to one-half of all human DNA is basically parasitic.”

“Parasitism is the only practice of the church; with its ideal of anaemia, its holiness, draining all blood, all love, all hope for life; the beyond as the will to negate every reality; the cross as the mark of recognition for the most subterranean conspiracy that ever existed-against health, beauty, whatever has turned out well, courage, spirit, graciousness of the soul, against life itself.”

“Parce que c'est ma mère, elle qui a sacrifié chacun de ses jours et plusieurs de ses nuits pour me voir libérée des servilités et soumissions qui étaient les siennes, qui a souahaité le plus ma réussite. Parce qu'elle a prié la vierge Marie à genoux dans toutes les chapelles pour que j'échappe aux fatalités du destin social. Parce que même si je me contruisais contre elle en embrassant les codes qui l'excluent, j'ai produit sa fierté. Parce que la trahison que l'ascension suppose était non seulement attendue mais espérée.”

“Parce que le seul instinct réel de l’homme, c’est de partir en courant au plus profond de la forêt. Si tel n’était pas le cas, pourquoi s’acharnerait-on autant à nous faire aimer la société, à nous faire entrer dans le crâne le style amoureux et grégaire de la Patrie absolue ? Le divertissement social est un système opérationnel de coutumes visant à minimiser la peur d’être totalement encerclé.”

“Parce que lire peut changer les choses. Lire, ce n'est pas un état d'esprit, c'est un état d'espoir. Une génération qui lit est une génération de sauvée et qui nous sauvera. Une génération qui lit est une génération qui pense, réfléchit, questionne le monde, doute, écoute, veut comprendre, est prête à changer d'avis, respecte les différences, montre de l'empathie et de la sensibilité. De l'humanité tout simplement.”

“Parcînd în faţa Hotelului Roman, mi-am dat seama că şi fericirea poate fi resemnată, asta e ce o aseamănă cu sora ei veşnică, nefericirea. Rugăciunea, chiar şi nerostită, mi se îndeplinise: primisem cîteva ore alături de singura fiinţă de care aveam să mă îndrăgostesc vreodată. Erau orele din miezul cărora, în nefăcutele mele planuri, trebuia să-mi hrănesc restul vieţii. Ca un pictor care nu poate arăta lumina altfel decît prin umbre, nici eu nu-mi putea reprezenta înălţimea momentului altfel decît respirînd prăbuşirile viitorului.”

“Pardew has come out and criticized me. He is the worst at haranguing referees. He shoves them and makes a joke of it. How he can criticize me is unbelievable. He forgets the help I gave him, by the way. The press have had a field day. The only person they have not spoken to is Barack Obama because he is busy. It is unfortunate but I am the manager of the most famous club in the world. Not Newcastle, a wee club in the North-East. I was demonstrative. I am always demonstrative. Everyone knows that. I am an emotional guy but I was not abusive.”

“Pardon me also, and deal mercifully with me, as often as I think of anything besides You in prayer. For I confess truly that I am accustomed to be very much distracted. Very often I am not where bodily I stand or sit; rather, I am where my thoughts carry me. Where my thoughts are, there am I; and frequently my thoughts are where my love is. That which naturally delights, or is by habit pleasing, comes to me quickly. Hence You Who are Truth itself, have plainly said: 'For where your treasure is, there is your heart also.' If I love heaven, I think willingly of heavenly things. If I love the world, I rejoice at the happiness of the world and grieve at its troubles. If I love the flesh, I often imagine things that are carnal. If I love the spirit, I delight in thinking of spiritual matters. For whatever I love, I am willing to speak and hear about.”

“Pardon me for budging into concoction of the aristocrats blowing their trumpets, the demagogues' doctrines, the antagonists' squeals, the hypocrites' assertions, the sycophants fawning adoration, the facebookers' slants, the youthful sneers, the pragmatic notions n of course some acquiescent aspirants....this facebook page is so bombarded by myriad posts....maddening to read n like all.....so here's wishing each one of the revered contestants all the best.....may the deserving win.....”

“Pardon me, but we did not have the time to exchange that kind of personal information," Magnus said. "I could not have known! Moreover, I wish to assure both of you that I did not make any amorous advances on female monkeys." he paused and winked. "I didn't actually see any, so I never got the chance.”
