“Selamat pagi
Untuk kamu yang sedang menuntut ilmu
Di kota ...
Yang selalu menawarkan
Keramahan serta kesopanan
Aku berharap
Dapat berjalan bersamamu ditemani malam romantis malioboro
Dan semua kenangan itu akan tersimpan rapi
Serapih kamu di lubuk nurani ini”
“Selbst der letzte Versager kann sich noch zur Elite zählen, wenn er seine Hautfarbe, seine Religion, sein Geschlecht oder seine sexuelle Neigung dadurch aufwertet, dass er alle, die anders sind, abwertet. Ob sie selbst auch nur das Geringste etwa zum wirtschaftlichen Erfolg oder dem Funktionieren unserer Demokratie beigetragen haben, spielt keine Rolle: Selbst im Vergleich mit einem vor Folter geflüchteten Raketenwissenschaftler aus Syrien sieht sich ein von Dschungelcamp zu Dschungelcamp hangelnder "deutscher Michel" qua Geburt, Haut- und Haarfarbe mit einem nicht einzuholenden Vorsprung ausgestattet.”

“Selbst gegen die Bildnisse habe ich eine Art von Abneigung;
denn sie scheinen mir immer einen stillen Vorwurf zu machen;
sie deuten auf etwas Entferntes, Abgeschiedenes und erinnern
mich, wie schwer es sei, die Gegenwart recht zu ehren. Gedenkt
man, wieviel Menschen man gesehen, gekannt, und gesteht
sich, wie wenig wir ihnen, wie wenig sie uns gewesen, wie wird
uns da zumute! Wir begegnen dem Geistreichen, ohne uns mit
ihm zu unterhalten, dem Gelehrten, ohne von ihm zu lernen,
dem Gereisten, ohne uns zu unterrichten, dem Liebevollen, ohne
ihm etwas Angenehmes zu erzeigen.
Und leider ereignet sich dies nicht bloß mit den
Vorübergehenden. Gesellschaften und Familien betragen sich so
gegen ihre liebsten Glieder, Städte gegen ihre würdigsten
Bürger, Völker gegen ihre trefflichsten Fürsten, Nationen gegen
ihre vorzüglichsten Menschen.”
“Selbst wenn es zehn Bewerber für jeden Arbeitsplatz gibt, wird das Problem nicht in der Nachfrage, sondern im Angebot gesucht - also bei den Arbeitslosen, die nicht in der Lage sind, ihre "Beschäftigungsfähigkeit" zu entwickeln, oder sich einfach nicht ausreichend bemühen.”

“Selbstverständlich kann diese Oeuvre wie jede andere Konklusion an seinem Fundament, den einzelnen Morphemen und in allerlei Hinsicht der Sprache attackiert werden. Sobald wir ein Argument als valide deklarieren, kann die Rechtmäßigkeit nur noch durch die Falschheit der Prämissen kollabieren. Rechtmäßigkeit kann immer durch eine Divergenz im Verständnis einzelner Definitionen angezweifelt werden. Die Definitionen, die wir bestimmten Schlüsselwörter geben, machen meist den Unterschied zwischen verschiedenen Weltanschauungen.”

“Selden and Lily stood still, accepting the unreality of the scene as a part of their own dream-like sensations. It would not have surprised them to feel a summer breeze on their faces, or to see the lights among the boughs reduplicated in the arch of a starry sky. The strange solitude about them was no stranger than the sweetness of being alone in it together.”
Source: Delphi Complete Works of Edith Wharton (Illustrated)

“Seldom can the heart be lonely,
If it seek a lonelier still;
Self-forgetting, seeking only
Emptier cups of love to fill.”
Source: The Ministry of Song
“Seldom can two such epoch-making events have occurred in successive years as happened then.

Lou has left his distinctive mark of success everywhere he has coached. Winning Every Day is not just a catchy phrase, but with Coach Holtz, a way of life.”
“Seldom does a storytelling talent come along as potent and fully mature as Mike Brotherton. His complex characters take you on a voyage that is both fiercely credible and astonishingly imaginative. This is Science Fiction.”
“Seldom has a battle, in which greater numbers were

“Seldom seen, growing along the ocean floor, the white-plumed anemone is a watery blossom. It is white lace opening under tons of black, opening as if bathed in the sun, while so far from the sun.
This is the trick to staying well, isn't it: to feel the sun even in the dark. To not lose the truth of things when they go out of view. To grow just the same. To know there is still water, even when we are thirsty. To know there is still love, even when we are lonely. To know there is still peace, even when we are suffering.
None of this invalidates our pain, but only strengthens our way back into the light.”
“Seldom was any knowledge given to keep, but to impart; the grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment.”

“Select people find themselves early on in life, while other people undergo painful stages of vast changes. Some people never exhibit a centralizing persona and they tend to undergo a series of crisis throughout their lives. I observed some friends, family members, and other acquaintances at various stages in their lives and they seem virtually the same person years later. I am a person who cyclically turns himself inside out after crashing and burning, failing, and then reassembling the seeds of defeat into new victories, only to run aground again. I mentally and emotionally resist change and must consciously force a personal metamorphosis. Could I radically change again? Did I possess the internal reserves to weather a period of reconstitution and then make myself over into a new prototype? Can I will myself to becoming the person I aspire to be? Can I take advantage of human consciousness to broker a way out of self-defeat and a misery-ridden life?”
