“Puisque c'est ainsi. Puisque le temps sépare ceux qui s'aiment et que rien ne dure.
Ce que nous vivions là, et nous en étions conscients tous les quatre, c'était un peu de rab. Un sursis, une parenthèse, un moment de grâce. Quelques heures volées aux autres...
Pendant combien de temps aurions-nous l'énergie de nous arracher ainsi du quotidien pour faire le mur? Combien de permissions la vie nous accorderait-elle encore? Combien de pieds de nez? Combien de petites grattes? Quand allions-nous nous perdre et comment les liens se distendraient-ils?
Encore combien d'années avant d'être vieux?”

“Puisque la maîtresse me "reprenait", plus tard j'ai voulu reprendre mon père, lui annoncer que "se parterrer" ou "quart moins d'onze heures" n'existaient pas. Il est entré dans une violente colère. Une autre fois : "Comment voulez-vous que je ne me fasse pas reprendre, si vous parlez mal tout le temps!" Je pleurais. Il était malheureux. Tout ce qui touche au langage est dans mon souvenir motif de rancœur et de chicanes douloureuses, bien plus que l'argent.”

“Puisque nous sommes que des enclos de tripes tièdes et mal pourries nous aurons toujours du mal avec le sentiment. Amoureux ce n’est rien c’est tenir ensemble qui est difficile.

“Puisque tu existes, comme toi seule sais
exister, il n'était peut-être pas très nécessaire que ce livre existât. J'ai cru pouvoir
en décider autrement, en souvenir de la
conclusion que je voulais lui donner avant
de te connaître et que ton irruption dans
ma vie n'a pas à mes yeux rendue vaine.
Cette conclusion ne prend même son vrai
sens et toute sa force qu'à travers toi.”

amb la nina sense ulls i el paraigua trencat,

Hi haurà amor engrunat al fons de les butxaques.”

“Puke and starve and cut and drink because you don't want to feel any of this. Puke and starve and cut and drink because you need an anesthetic and it works. For awhile. But then the anesthetic turns into poison and by then it's to late because you are maintaining it now,straight into your soul. It is rotting you and you can't stop.”

Se tahtoi kai sanoa niin paljon kuin: >>terveeksi!>> johon Tshitshikow vastasi >>mene hiiteen!>>”

As for regular readers, Pulitzer's Gold offers marvelous storytelling, real-life adventures, and absolute proof that journalism can change our world for the better.”

“Pull approaches differ significantly from push approaches in terms of how they organize and manage resources. Push approaches are typified by "programs" - tightly scripted specifications of activities designed to be invoked by known parties in pre-determined contexts. Of course, we don't mean that all push approaches are software programs - we are using this as a broader metaphor to describe one way of organizing activities and resources. Think of thick process manuals in most enterprises or standardized curricula in most primary and secondary educational institutions, not to mention the programming of network television, and you will see that institutions heavily rely on programs of many types to deliver resources in pre-determined contexts.
Pull approaches, in contrast, tend to be implemented on "platforms" designed to flexibly accommodate diverse providers and consumers of resources. These platforms are much more open-ended and designed to evolve based on the learning and changing needs of the participants. Once again, we do not mean to use platforms in the literal sense of a tangible foundation, but in a broader, metaphorical sense to describe frameworks for orchestrating a set of resources that can be configured quickly and easily to serve a broad range of needs. Think of Expedia's travel service or the emergency ward of a hospital and you will see the contrast with the hard-wired push programs.”

“Pull every dream that you’ve ever had from all of the places that you’ve abandoned them, brush them off, set them in front of yourself, run the fingers of your heart over each of them, fight the lie that you’re not enough to achieve them, and realize that the dream was not too big. Rather, the belief in yourself is too small.”
