“Rash combat oft immortalizes man; if he should fall, he is renowned in song; but after-ages reckon not the ceaseless tears which the forsaken woman sheds.

Our indiscretion sometime serves us well
When our deep plots do pall, and that should learn us
There's a divinity that shapes our ends,

“Rasismens ögon (Sonett)
Jag tittade i rasismens ögon,
Allt jag hittade var otrygghet.
Jag tittade i fördomarnas ögon,
Allt jag hittade var falsk verklighet.
Jag tittade i ögonen på bigotteri,
Allt jag hittade var primitiv fjollighet.
Jag tittade i hatets ögon,
Allt jag hittade var illusion av renhet.
Jag tittade i ojämlikhetens ögon,
Allt jag hittade var tanklös lydnad.
Jag tittade i apatiens ögon,
Allt jag hittade var feg högfärd.
Jag såg mycket och observerade mycket,
Det är dags att vara ljuset mot brutalitet.”

“Rasselas listened to him with the veneration due to the instructions of a superior being, and waiting for him at the door, humbly implored the liberty of visiting so great a master of true wisdom. The lecturer hesitated a moment, when Rasselas put a purse of gold into his hand, which he received with a mixture of joy and wonder.
“I have found,” said the Prince at his return to Imlac, “a man who can teach all that is necessary to be known; who, from the unshaken throne of rational fortitude, looks down on the scenes of life changing beneath him. He speaks, and attention watches his lips. He reasons, and conviction closes his periods. This man shall be my future guide: I will learn his doctrines and imitate his life.”
“Be not too hasty,” said Imlac, “to trust or to admire the teachers of morality: they discourse like angels, but they live like men.”
Rasselas, who could not conceive how any man could reason so forcibly without feeling the cogency of his own arguments, paid his visit in a few days, and was denied admission. He had now learned the power of money, and made his way by a piece of gold to the inner apartment, where he found the philosopher in a room half darkened, with his eyes misty and his face pale. “Sir,” said he, “you are come at a time when all human friendship is useless; what I suffer cannot be remedied: what I have lost cannot be supplied. My daughter, my only daughter, from whose tenderness I expected all the comforts of my age, died last night of a fever. My views, my purposes, my hopes, are at an end: I am now a lonely being, disunited from society.”
“Sir,” said the Prince, “mortality is an event by which a wise man can never be surprised: we know that death is always near, and it should therefore always be expected.” “Young man,” answered the philosopher, “you speak like one that has never felt the pangs of separation.” “Have you then forgot the precepts,” said Rasselas, “which you so powerfully enforced? Has wisdom no strength to arm the heart against calamity? Consider that external things are naturally variable, but truth and reason are always the same.” “What comfort,” said the mourner, “can truth and reason afford me? Of what effect are they now, but to tell me that my daughter will not be restored?”
The Prince, whose humanity would not suffer him to insult misery with reproof, went away, convinced of the emptiness of rhetorical sounds, and the inefficacy of polished periods and studied sentences.”

“Rassemblons des faits pour nous donner des idées.
Let us gather facts in order to get ourselves thinking.”
“Rassismus erzeugt Selbstwert durch Abwertung der anderen und Aufwertung der eigenen Zugehörigkeit. Diese psychologische Wirkung trägt auch zu seiner Stabilisierung und Persistenz bei. In allen Dimensionen, also der ökonomischen, der kulturellen und der psychischen, profitiert man als durch Rassismus privilegierte Person, ob man will oder nicht, und ein durch Rassismus negativ betroffener Mensch ist Risiken
ausgesetzt.”

“Rastafari is our king or emperor, and being a king, being an emperor you've been taught all the ways of the ancestors. With the knowledge and teachings and studying his majesty, I've learned to put all these principles and precepts into the music, so that is how it inspires me to be singin' good songs and makin' good music for the people. Natural.”
“Rastafari means to live in nature, to see the Creator in the wind, sea and storm. Other religions pointed to the sky, and while we were looking in the sky, they dug up all the gold and diamonds and went away with them”
“Rastafari not a culture, it's a reality.”
“Rastafarianism and reggae music have always kind of resonated with me. Those ideas of redemption, liberation and overcoming oppression through music, weed and community. Fighting evil through love and music, I think it's just a really powerful idea.”
“Rastafarianism is bringing black people back to the so-called promised land. The bodies live in Africa, but the mentalities are somewhere in the Middle East.”
“Rastladığın her doğal güzelliğe onları ilk ve son kez görüyormuş gibi davran!”
“Rasul Islam itu sekarang ini dianggap di dalam minda sekular moden sebagai seorang manusia, tidak lebih dari seorang manusia luaran sahaja, seorang yang bersifat bashari, seperti manusia lain juga oleh kerana bagi minda moden seseorang tidak akan lebih daripada realiti fizikal seperti yang direkai oleh konsep manusia menurut aliran pemikiran sains moden yang palsu. Jika dia digambarkan di dalam tradisi pemikiran lampau sebagai lebih daripada hakikat fizikal ini maka ini segera dianggap sebagai hakikat psiki, sebahagian pemikiran dan minda yang negatif, sebuah mimpi, dirinya yagn tersirat yang bersifat bayang-bayang belaka, penakkulan yang salah tentang sifat dan ciri dari diri akalnya di mana diri luarannya yang satu-satunya dianggap 'diri'.”

“Rat race is the perfect name for it,' she said. 'We're always going and going and going, and never asking where. Did you ever hear of having more than you wanted? So that you couldn't want anything else and then started looking for something else to want? It seems like we're always searching for something to satisfy is, and never finding it. Maybe if we could lose our cool we would.”
“Ratbert (as lab rat, to scientist): Doc, we have to talk. Every day you feed me over a hundred pounds of macaroni and cheese. At first I thought you were just being a good host. But lately I've been thinking it could be something far more sinister.”
“Rate the intensive above the extensive. The perfect does not lie in quantity, but in quality.”

“Rather an end in horror, than horror without end. He could not condemn principles he might need to invoke and apply later. The wolf cannot help having been created by God as he is, but we shoot him all the same if we have to. The great player in diplomacy, as in chess, asks the question,Does this improve me?, not look at the possible fringe benefits If you can't have what you like, you must like what you have.”
