“Sus dedos acarician las cuerdas: después, el mundo.”
Source: A Diamond Guitar
“Sus labios, cálidos y algo húmedos, se mezclaron de forma delicada con los míos, saboreándonos el uno al otro. Era tan tierno que casi no me atrevía a respirar para no romper la magia del momento.”
“Sus labios se extremecen un poco, como las cuerdas de un instrumento que alguien templa. ¿Cuál es su afán? Quisiera ponernos bien claras delante las cosas que pasaron. Comienza a hablar. Pero no; esto no es hablar, es recitar. Las palabras vienen sometidas a una disciplina, y parecen desintegradas de la existencia trivial que llevaban en el hablar ordinario. Como un aparato de ascensión, el hexámetro mantiene suspensos en un aire imaginario los vocablos e impide que con los pies toquen en la tierra. Esto es simbólico. Esto es lo que quiere el rapsoda: arrancarnos de la realidad cuotidiana.”
“Sus lamentos eran silenciosos, intensos vacíos llenos de dolor. Lloraba más por la soledad que había vivido junto a su marido que por la soledad que le quedaba por vivir en su ausencia”

“Sus ojos se niegan a mirar atrás, a nuestra desdichada tierra que desde hace siglos anhela la paz y la unidad y que aún no las ha conseguido. Una vez más, en medio de la niebla, se desvanece en lontananza la eterna quimera de un mundo humanizado.”
“Sus palabras eran el extintor de incendios que acababa de apagar una discreta llama: la historia que inconcientemente Francisca había comenzado a escribir en su cabeza.”

“Sus Últimos Días
¿Va a vivir su último día,
De la misma manera como usted vivió su primera?
¿Van a llorar, sonreír, reír y jugar -
De la misma manera como lo hizo después del nacimiento?
¿Seguirás mirar el mundo
Lleno de asombro, el amor, la curiosidad y el entusiasmo?
¿O vas a ser oscuro, amargo y frío, sin una sola gota de la iluminación?
¿Usted vive sus días actuales - Sentirse confundido, deprimido, y con miedo?
¿O usted comparte su luz en la empresa y el servicio de los demás, para crear sinergias
Al igual que nos hicieron?
¿Va a vivir HOY
Con una insaciable sed de vida?
O,
¿Va a esperar hasta el último día -
Deseando que tenía sólo un día más,
Para salir y gastar su tiempo
¿DERECHO?"

“Susa, the great holy city, abode of their gods, seat of their mysteries, I conquered. I entered its palaces, I opened their treasuries where silver and gold, goods and wealth were amassed... I destroyed the ziggurat of Susa. I smashed its shining copper horns. I reduced the temples of Elam to naught; their gods and goddesses I scattered to the winds. The tombs of their ancient and recent kings I devastated, I exposed to the sun, and I carried away their bones toward the land of Ashur. I devastated the provinces of Elam and on their lands I sowed salt.”

“Susan Blackmore: Düşüncelerinin birçoğunun lisanstayken şekillendiğini ve o zamandan beri de bunları ayrıntılandırdığını ve açıkladığını söyledin. Ama ben asıl şunu bilmek istiyorum: Bir bilinç filozofu olarak seni gerçekten değiştiren veya kendin hakkında nasıl hissettiğini değiştiren herhangi bir şey oldu mu hiç hayatında?
Daniel Dennett: Hatırladığım kadarıyla dine dönme gibi bir deneyimim olmadı! Ama felsefenin dışında insanlarla kurduğum etkileşimlerin hayatımda büyük bir etkisi olduğunu düşünüyorum. Kariyerimin muhtemelen ilk beş yılında, cilalı taş devri kadar eskiden, yani 60'ların sonunda, çoğunlukla filozoflarla takılmaya devam ediyordum ve zamanımın görece daha küçük ama çok önemsediğim ve beni hayretlere düşüren bir kısmını da başka disiplinlerden insanlarla konuşarak geçiriyordum. İnsanlarla yapay zeka, biyoloji, nörobilim ve psikoloji hakkında konuştuğum vakit filozof meslektaşlarımdan daha fazla şey öğrendiğimi ve bunları felsefi açıdan daha ilginç bulduğumu fark etmeye başladım. Yıllar içinde benim açımdan eğlenceli olan şeyin peşinden gittim ve sonrası kendiliğinden gelişti. Felsefe harici konferanslara ve etkinliklere giderek daha fazla davet edilmeye, daha fazla makale ve kitap okumaya başladım; hatta öyle ki felsefeyi artık görev olarak yapıyordum. Felsefe okurken, iyi bir biyoloji metni veya iyi bir psikoloji yahut yapay zeka metni okumaya kıyasla ne kadar da az eğlendiğimi fark edince şok oluyorum. İşte benim için büyük farkı yaratan da bu oldu.
Tabii bu, sahadaki birçok insanın, "O halde Dennett artık filozof değil, önceden bir filozoftu belki ama artık değil" demesi anlamına geliyor. Bu konu hakkında tartışmak istemiyorum ama eğer bu doğruysa, belki de bütün filozofların felsefeyi bırakması ve benim yaptığım şeyi yapması gerekiyor. Çünkü bana sorarsanız, felsefi sonuçlar elde ediyorum ve felsefi bir ilerleme kat ediyorum. Bunun, eski zamanlarda yaptığımız o içi boş felsefeden çok daha iyi olduğunu düşünüyorum.
Susan Blackmore: Peki, nedir felsefe?
Daniel Dennett: Felsefe, henüz sorman gereken doğru soruların ne olduğunu bilmezken yaptığın şeydir.”
“Susan Boggs, a black runaway interviewed in Canada in 1863, said of the religious slave masters: 'Why the man that baptized me had a colored woman tied up in his yard to whip when he got home that very Sunday and her mother . . . was in church hearing him preach. He preached, You must obey your masters and be good servants.- That is the greater part of the sermon, when they preach to the colored folks. . . .'”

“Susan hardly had begun to slow down when Tera appeared from between a couple of buildings and loped over to the car. I leaned forward, opened the door, and she got into the backseat. I threw her the extra clothes I had picked up, and she began to dress without comment. It worked," I said. "We did it." Of course it worked," Tera said. "Men are foolish. They will stare at anything female and naked.”

“Susan is just great. I know I'm biased, but she's a great actress.”
“Susan . . . it wasn't a good name, was it? It wasn't a truly bad name, it wasn't like poor Iodine in the fourth form, or Nigella, a name which meant "oops, we wanted a boy." But it was dull. Susan. Sue. Good old Sue. It was a name that made sandwiches, kept its head in difficult circumstances, and could reliably look after other people's children.
It was a name used by no queens or goddesses anywhere.
And you couldn't do much even with the spelling. You could turn it into Suzi, and it sounded as though you danced on tables for a living. You could put in a Z and a couple of Ns and an E, but it still looked like a name with extensions built on. It was as bad as Sara, a name that cried out for a prosthetic H.”

“Susan Margaret Collins was born on December 7, 1952 in Caribou, Maine and is presently the senior United States Senator from Maine. Senator Collins has served in the Senate since 1997 and chaired the Senate Committee on Homeland Security from 2003 to 2007. She now is the Chairwoman of the Senate Special Committee on Aging. Collins is a graduate of St. Lawrence University, a liberal arts college, in Canton, New York. Considered a moderate Republican, she became the only Republican in the U.S. Senate currently representing a state in New England. Her vote was one of three republican votes in the Senate that helped to defeat a bill designed to destroy the Affordable Health Care Program presently in effect. John McCain's heroic stand only mattered because Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski bravely stood by him! It was their courage that saved health care for approximately 22 million people.”
“Susan poured herself out some more wine. She said:
"You're nice. You must come and see me some time. I live miles away from anywhere with my father. You'll like him."
"Tell me about him."
"He's a curious little man with a walrus moustache."
"What does he do?"
"He's a failure."
"Where does he fail?"
"Oh, he doesn't any longer," she said. "He's a retired failure, you see. You must meet him."
"I'd like to.”

“Susan’s and Jennifer’s job searches are likely made harder by the color of their skin. In the early 2000s, researchers in Chicago and Boston mailed out fake résumés to hundreds of employers, varying only the names of the applicants, but choosing names that would be seen as identifiably black or white. Strikingly, “Emily” and “Brendan” were 50 percent more likely to get called for an interview than “Lakisha” and “Jamal.” A few years later, a researcher at the University of Wisconsin conducted a similar study in Milwaukee, but with a unique twist. She recruited two black and two white actors (college students, posing as high school graduates) who were as similar as possible in every way. She sent these “job applicants” out in pairs, with virtually identical fake résumés, to apply for entry-level jobs. Her twist was to instruct one of the white and one of the black applicants to tell employers that they had a felony conviction and had just been released from prison the month before. Even the researcher was surprised by what she found: the white applicant with a felony conviction was more likely to get a positive response from a prospective employer than the black applicant with no criminal record. When the study was replicated in New York City a few years later, she and her colleagues saw similar results for Latino applicants relative to whites.”

“Susan Sewell 5-Star Review
"A supercomputer enhanced with artificial intelligence causes havoc in the life of its creator in the thrilling and suspenseful science-fiction fantasy, AI Beast by Shawn Corey. Since he was a child, Professor Jonathan Anthony Edwards dreamed of creating a sentient computer. Finally, his dream is coming to fruition, and his AI computer program, Lex, is almost ready to launch. To add to his delight, he has found someone with whom he can share his life. Beverly is an enchanting and beautiful woman who captivates Jon at first sight. In an unbelievable coincidence, her son, Nigel, is a student of quantum computing and is excited to be a part of Lex's debut. One day, while Jon and Nigel are working alone with Lex during a storm, something goes very wrong, and Jon is injured and sent into a coma by a blaze of light. When he finally regains consciousness, everything has changed at the University, and Nigel is in charge of Lex. While he has been out of commission, Nigel, Lex, and powerful world leaders seem to be working together to alter the world and humankind. What happened to Nigel and Jon that stormy day? Did Lex modify their psyches to use them to enact her secret plans?
Incorporating prophecy from the book of Revelation and combining it with the element of artificial intelligence, AI Beast by Shawn Corey is a brilliant blend of science fiction and religion. Filled with suspenseful and intense, action-packed scenes, the tale chillingly portrays the terrifying conceptualization of a viable source that could be responsible for the fulfillment of the Bible's prophesied end times. From the beginning, the story flows at a quick pace, building momentum and culminating in a dramatic and explosive finale. Well-written with a solid, riveting plot, fascinating characters, and an intricately woven storyline, it is a stunning novel that is impossible to put down. The book contains deceit, passion, and exciting action scenes that will enthrall fans of Christian thrillers and science-fiction novels with a biblical influence. Due to some sexually intimate scenes, the book is more suitable for mature readers.”

“Susan stared at him.
The blue glow in Death’s eyes gradually faded, and as the light died it sucked at her gaze so that it was dragged into the eye sockets and into the darkness beyond…
…which went on and on, for ever. There was no word for it. Even eternity was a human idea. Giving it a name gave it a length; admittedly, a very long one. But this darkness was what was left when eternity had given up. It was where Death lived. Alone.”
“Susan Straight finds LA's secret heart in Between Heaven and Here and with a sleight of hand only the masters have, she creates an alley, a neighborhood, a history that is as rich and tragic as any Shakespearean tale.”
“Susan was a tough-minded romantic. She wanted to fall in love with a book. She always had reasons for her devotions, as an astute reader would, but she was, to her credit, probably the most emotional one among us. Susan could fall in love with a book in more or less the way one falls in love with a person. Yes, you can provide, if asked, a list of your loved one’s lovable qualities: he’s kind and funny and smart and generous and he knows the names of trees.
But he’s also more than amalgamation of qualities. You love him, the entirety of him, which can’t be wholly explained by even the most exhaustive explication of his virtues. And you love him no less for his failings. O.K., he’s bad with money, he can be moody sometimes, and he snores. His marvels so outshine the little complaints as to render them ridiculous.”
“Susan was very fun to be around. She liked movies, and her brother Frank made her tapes of this great music that she shared with us. But over the summer she had her braces taken off, and she got a little taller and prettier and grew breasts. Now, she acts a lot dumber in the hallways, especially when boys are around. And I think it's sad because Susan doesn't look as happy.”
“Susan. who sat wide-eyed and silent. overawed by the presence of the great man, heard this in wonder. That she might go by train to school, and learn Latin and French, was a divine blessing, and if algebra, which surely came out of Arabian Nights, were added, her cup of bliss would be complete. Her mind flashed to unbounded knowledge, to the moon with its mountains and craters, to the stars, which were worlds. It dipped down into the earth and moved among caverns in the limestone hills and the springs running in secret places.
Her heart beat wildly; heaven was there with doors which would unlock with the key of scholarship. The golden gates would fly apart and she would step into that world of books and language, and the knowledge of echoes and sound and lightning which the schoolmaster called "science".”

“Susan Wojcicki at Google makes a point to leave the office at 6 P.M. After 9 P.M. she gets back online to handle any pressing work issues that need her attention. She told us she hopes that sends a message to all parents that it's OK to spend time away from the office. All the women we spoke to on the show use technology in a similar way.

“Susanna spoke of divergent paths that lead to a distant horizon, of fate and destiny and myriad potentialities for glory or doom. She spoke of facing one’s future without choice. Truly, it is not hard to fathom that at that precise instant in history something as minute as the cool February wind blowing upon my cheek from the west or the sinking of my boot in that shifting Virginia mud had the potential to change my life forever. When a bullet slices through the air towards a man he sees those phantom paths flickering in gun smoke before him. There is hope, there is chance and there is death.”

“Susannah Heschel's The Aryan Jesus is a brilliant and erudite investigation of the convergence between major trends in German Protestantism and Nazi racial anti-Semitism. By concentrating on the history of the Institute for the Study and Eradication of Jewish Influence on German Religious Life, Heschel describes in forceful detail the Nazification of all aspects of Protestant theology, including the Aryanization of Jesus himself. This is a highly original and important contribution to our understanding of the Third Reich.”

“Susannah, listen to me: Do you want this to be over? Do you want to be safe?"
"No, I rather enjoy dodging for my life, and wondering when you'll next be stabbed or crushed on my behalf."
He smiled again, pleased with her the way he always was when she was sarcastic.
"How can you smile?" she wanted to know, irritated.
"You forget, my dear, that danger has been a way of life for me."
She pondered this. "Wouldn't you rather just be a naturalist?" she said weakly.
He didn't answer; he just looked at her for a long moment. And then he leaned forward and touched his mouth to hers.
Her lips were obstinate at first, but then they softened beneath his, and her hand went up to cup his face--- he loved it when she did that---and she parted her lips. For a short, dizzying moment, they feasted tenderly on each other. It was incomparably sweet.”
