“Puxo o ar com mais força. Com o oxigênio que consigo inspirar, vem o pensamento: preciso fugir. Como uma miragem, a fuga aparece, mas se dissipa quando expiro. Preciso ficar. A saída não é pela fuga, mas pela manutenção de territórios. Puxo mais ar. Sei o que devo fazer.
Sim, eu sei. Sinto as ameaças. Sinto uma fron-teira. Sinto que é necessário erguer muralhas.
Busco em mim.
Me investigo.
Procuro pelas pedras.”

“Puzzelstukken uit diverse periodes, die onverwacht en onverhoopt opeens in elkaar schuiven. Zo moet het zijn om jazz te spelen. Uit de brij valt plots dat ene verscheurende akkoord, zonder repetitie en toch volmaakt getimed. Getoonzet door een genadig toeval. In dank aanvaard door de geduldige muzikant.”

“Puzzles’ are bound to arise for everyone, but how does the puzzle get solved, that much science if people get to know, it is more than enough.”
“Puzzles are great because they're fun. But really we are drawn to puzzles because they can be solved. We love the idea of being able to put a puzzle together and it being complete: you do it perfectly, step away, and you've completed the job. There's a deep satisfaction from that, and I think we wish for the ability to do that with everything. But emotions just don't work that way, people don't work that way, relationships don't work that way.”
“Puzzles are like songs - A good puzzle can give you all the pleasure of being duped that a mystery story can. It has surface innocence, surprise, the revelation of a concealed meaning, and the catharsis of solution.”
“Puzzles are made of the things that the mathematician, no less than the child, plays with, and dreams and wonders about, for they are made of things and circumstances of the world he [or she] live in.”
“Puzzles lead to logical answers; mysteries often force us to stretch language to its limits in an attempt to describe a reality that is just too great to take in properly.”

“Può non essere sempre evidente ed esplicito nella forma del nome il nesso necessario con la sua ragione prima, ma ciò è dovuto soltanto all'ignoranza degli uomini, alla fuga del tempo, ed i sapienti, i saggi, i maghi e gli dèi sono tali in ragione delle loro maggiore o assoluta conoscenza di questi nessi. In origine ogni nome è una kenning. Ora essa, qual è praticata dagli scaldi, ci appare nel suo aspetto intellettualistico e concettoso di indovinello, nel riferimento ad una sapienza esclusiva ed esoterica, ma nostro è l'abbaglio nel percepirla così: nella struttura e nel senso suo più genuino essa è il modello originario del nome nel mito, un modello che può riflettersi in sé, nei suoi elementi costitutivi, all'infinito; primo e ultimo frutto dello sforzo di appropriazione del passato e del presente, di fare il mito.”

“Può tanta nostalgia assalirti alle spalle anche se non si vuole più bene come prima? Non avendo altro da fare, mi misi a cercare di capire cos'era quella nostalgia. Altro che pentirmi, dovevo studiare me stessa e gli altri come si studia la grammatica, la musica, e smetterla di abbandonarmi alle emozioni, che bella parola, emozioni!”

“PVFS (post-viral fatigue syndrome)
This term was introduced during the eariy 1980s in Britain as an alternative to ME. It remains a useful description for anyone whose illness can clearly be traced back to an acute viral infection. The drawback to PVFS is that it cannot be used to describe cases where some other factor (e.g. vaccination or pesticide) acted as the principal trigger.”

“PW spent time with Sigel in a New York recording studio shortly before he went away on his federal gun possession charge. He paged through a book of promotional photos of himself, one of which was shot shortly after 911. It featured him holding a copy of the Bible upright in one palm while the Koran rose from the other the Twin Towers. Some of the record company people, they wouldn't let me put this out, ... They said it would be too controversial. But this picture is saying 'Look, they can stand together. Don't have to be no fight.'”

Pye patted his paws. “No, I’m not.” He rolled on his back and stretched, enjoying the warmth of the fire.
“I’ve been here since 1665.”
Pye chuckled. “You are, if I may so, in remarkably good condition.” Apart from the hole in your head, missing tail, and pulmonic plague cough.

“Pynchon has been a favorite writer and a major influence all along. In many ways I see him as almost the start of a certain mutant pop culture imagery with esoteric historical and scientific information. Pynchon is a kind of mythic hero of mine, and I suspect that if you talk with a lot of recent SF writers you'll find they've all read Gravity's Rainbow (1973) several times and have been very much influenced by it. I was into Pynchon early on- I remember seeing a New York Times review of V. when it first came out- I was just a kid- and thinking, Boy, that sounds like some really weird shit!”

“Pyramiding instructions appear on dollar bills. Add smaller and smaller amounts on the way up. Keep your eye open at the top.”
“Pyramids, cathedrals, and rockets exist not because of geometry, theories of structures, or thermodynamics, but because they were first a picture- literally a vision-in the minds of those who built them. Society is where it is today because people had the perception; the images and the imagination; the creativity that the Arts provide, to make the world the place we live in today.”

“Pytania, na które chcieliśmy znaleźć odpowiedź, wydawały się wręcz śmiesznie proste: Kiedy odpada ręka? Kiedy powstaje ta tłusta czarna plama pod ciałem i z czego się bierze? Kiedy zęby wypadają z czaszki? Ile czasu trzeba, by ciało zamieniło się w szkielet? Pytania, które stawialiśmy sobie, przystępując do tych projektów, były proste, lecz ułożenie kompletnych odpowiedzi musiało trwać latami. Każda zmienna miała znaczenie. Czy ciało leżało w cieniu czy w słońcu? W ubraniu czy bez? Na zewnątrz czy w budynku – a może w samochodzie? W kabinie pasażerskiej czy w bagażniku? Na ziemi czy w wodzie? Ukrywaliśmy ciała w lesie. Zakopywaliśmy je w płytkich grobach. Zanurzaliśmy w wodzie. Potem badaliśmy i opisywaliśmy wszystko, co się z nimi działo, od chwili śmierci aż do czasu, gdy nie zostało z nich nic prócz kości. Budowaliśmy bazę danych dotyczących czasu śmierci – pierwszy i jedyny zbiór informacji tego rodzaju na świecie – systematyzując proces rozkładu ludzkiego ciała za pomocą wykresów i tabel. Cel tego działania był prosty: umożliwić określenie z naukową pewnością czasu śmierci każdej ofiary morderstwa, bez względu na stan oraz okoliczności rozkładu ciała.”
“Pytałem przed chwilą co to jest ojciec i zawołałem, że to słowo wielkie, miano drogocenne. Ale słowa trzeba, panowie, używać uczciwie (...) „ojcowie, nie rozgoryczajcie dzieci waszych”! Albowiem wypełnijmy najpierw sami wolę Chrystusową, a wtedy dopiero stawiajmy wymagania dzieciom naszym. Inaczej nie ojcami, ale wrogami dzieci naszych jesteśmy, one zaś nie dziećmi naszymi, ale wrogami, których samiśmy sobie uczynili! „Jaką miarką mierzycie, taką będzie wam odmierzone” – już nie ja to mówię, lecz Ewangelia – jakże więc obwiniać dzieci, że nam naszą miarką odmierzają? (...) ten, co zrodził, nie jest jeszcze ojcem – ojcem bowiem jest ten, co i zrodził, i zasłużył sobie na miano ojca.”

“Pythagoras asks that we not let a friend go lightly, for whatever reason. Instead, we should stay with a friend as long as we can, until we're compelled to abandon him completely against our will. It's a serious thing to toss away money, but to cast aside a person is even more serious. Nothing in human life is more rarely found, nothing more dearly possessed. No loss is more chilling or more dangerous than that of a friend.”
“Pythagoras based musical education in the first place on certain melodies and rhythm that exercised a healing, a purifying influence on the human actions and passions, restoring 'Pristine Harmony' of the souls' faculties. He applied the same means to the curing of diseases of both body and mind.”
“Pythagoras felt that specific notes affected people to very minute gradations of feeling. And every songwriter, I think, knows that D is a great key for a long song. It just happens to work. And B flat is always a great jump key for jazz.
~ Janis Ian”

“Pythagoras has had me going round in circles for years.”

“Pythagoras said that the most divine art was that of healing. And if the healing art is most divine, it must occupy itself with the soul as well as with the body; for no creature can be sound so long as the higher part in it is sickly.”
“Pythagoras took the next important step by subordinating the mere matter of nature to its essential principle of form and order, identifying the latter with reason or the soul.”
