“Stressful conditions tax our cognitive bandwidth, reducing our ability to think clearly and exercise executive control. Stress also hurts our ability to make rational long-term decisions that require delayed gratification. Living in a community in which we feel a sense of trust and support acts as a buffer against the detrimental impact of scarcity. However, a higher level of income inequality in our community can fray our sense of social trust.”

“Stressing the practice of living purposefully as essential to fully realized self-esteem is not equivalent to measuring an individual's worth by his or her external achievements. We admire achievements-in ourselves and others-and it is natural and appropriate for us to do so. But that is not the same thing as saying that our achievements are the measure or grounds of our self-esteem. The root of our self-esteem is not our achievements but those internally generated practices that, among other things, make it possible for us to achieve.”

“Stresten kemirip durduğum dudağımın arasından sızıyor ağzıma çaldığın bal. Seni tahrik ediyor, beni tahrip. İnan bana çok alıştım çift kişilik yalnızlıkta tek kişilik acı yaşamaya, sen ise duyduğum acıdaki hazza. Yanımdayken özlemek, aşk alevinden yanıp tutuşurken seviş- mek, gerçeğini bildiğim o süslü yalanlarla sarmak açtığın yaraları ağzında farklı bir tat bırakırken senin, bana ölümü gösterip sıtmaya razı ediyor. Bu aşk acısını sensiz yaşayabilmek mümkün görünmüyor bana. Sevmeyeceksen yanımda sevme, aynı evin ayrı odalarında uyuyalım gerekirse, ama beni sensizlikle imtihan etme. Kapıyı göstersen de eşikte “Gitme” de. Bir ölüm kadar yakınız ayrılığa. O kadar anlık, o kadar burnumuzun dibinde. Hadi bana yine yalanlar söyle. İnan ki hazırım dinlemeye, Bak şimdiden inandım bile…”

“Stretch of I-95 has already had one brush with disaster. In 2008 two contractors from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation stopped to get a sausage sandwich, and parked their cars under this bridge. And fortunately they wanted that sausage sandwich because they saw one of these piers with an eight foot gash in it about five inches wide. And oh, they knew automatically that this bridge was in deep trouble.”

“Stricken by a guilty conscience, some men will say that I speak with excessive temerity about all men in general. They are greatly mistaken. If they behave justly, they will be protected from my attacks and those of others. I separate the just from the wicked (who are the subject of my discourse), since not all men are bad and not all women are good.”
