“Settled in my blanket of dreams,
Hugging my thoughts of you.
I close my eyes and secretly wish
That someday you'll love me too.

"He will never be happy with you."
But I've escaped to my fantasy land
A place where happiness can come true.”

“Settlers and migrants and the forcibly displanted get worried when Native people start talking about Land Back. What about their house? Where will they go? Unable to imagine any scenario other than what settler colonialism unleased on us, people assume that Land Back means evictions, relocations, and eliminations. In some cases, that might be appropriate... And although we are often, and I think reasonably, looking for change in ownership, at its core, Land Back means profoundly changing our relationship with land.”

“Settling for what is comfortable is one of the biggest enemies to our enlargement... In every season of life...we need to be committed to enlarging our personal capacity (even when it's not comfortable). We need to refuse to be satisfied with our latest accomplishments, as what we've accomplished is no longer our potential because it has been realized.”
“Settling in is something strange, the shift to nesting after all that’s involved with a move… the flurry of activity, that motion, lost to a conscious decision to finally just chill and try and enjoy it.

“Settling into a new country is like getting used to a new pair of shoes. At first they pinch a little, but you like the way they look, so you carry on. The longer you have them, the more comfortable they become. Until one day without realizing it you reach a glorious plateau. Wearing those shoes is like wearing no shoes at all. The more scuffed they get, the more you love them and the more you can't imagine life without them.”
Source: In Arabian Nights
“Settling is about not embracing what is best for you and accepting what you really don't want. When you settle, you accept less than you deserve. Settling becomes a habit and a way of life, but it doesn't have to be. According to Maureen Dowd, "The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for”

“Seu maior aliado nessa incrível expansão de poder e influência foi o cavalo.
Usando cordas, chicotes e qualquer tática cruel que pudesse engendrar, Genghis Khan utilizou a força, a estamina e a velocidade do cavalo.
Os cavalos não tinham como reagir àquela crueldade. Eles não tinham voz. Mas... eles tinham uma língua. Ninguém viu isso, ninguém tentou ver isso, mas ela estava lá; ela existia naqueles tempos como existe hoje.”

“Seu trabalho, de que pessoalmente gostava bastante, consistia em programar simulacros do serviço de inteligência do governo Cheyenne, elaborar os intermináveis programas de propaganda, promovendo a desordem no círculo dos Estados Comunistas que circundavam os Estados Unidos. Interiormente, acreditava profundamente em seu trabalho, mas racionalmente não podia qualificá-lo como um ofício nobre ou muito bem pago; os programas por ele elaborados eram no mínimo infantis, espúrios e tendenciosos. O interesse principal ficava por conta de garotos de escola, tanto dos Estados Unidos quanto dos Estados Comunistas vizinhos, além dos contingentes numerosos de adultos de base educacional inferior. Na verdade, ele era um medíocre. O que Mary evidenciara várias e várias vezes.
Medíocre ou não, continuava em seu emprego, embora outros lhe tivessem sido oferecidos durante os seis anos de casamento. Possivelmente porque apreciava ouvir suas próprias palavras pronunciadas pelos simulacros, imitações do homem. Talvez por sentir que a causa em si era fundamental: os Estados Unidos postaram-se na defensiva, política e economicamente, e tinham de proteger-se. Necessitavam de pessoas que trabalhassem para o governo ganhando salários reconhecidamente baixos, em funções desprovidas de qualidades de heroísmo ou projeção. Alguém devia programar os simulacros para a propaganda, os quais eram espalhados em todo o mundo, com o objetivo de realizar o trabalho de representantes das Autoridades de Inteligência Computadorizada, agitando, convencendo, induzindo. Mas…”

“Seurat and Signac mixed paintings with the dry and abstract laws of science. This approach, in my opinion, usually strays from the purpose of art in general. Because it means that one cannot expect from an artifact, that is created with mathematical laws, to establish an improbable and irrational relationship between the work and the viewer.”
“Seurity!" I yelled. "I'm being harassed!"
Security officers swarm around me and one orders me to step inside the small office area.

“Seus braços o apertam mais ao redor de sua cintura e sua cabeça se afunda mais em seu peito. Queria poder aplacar sua dor, queria ajudá-lo, dizer que não precisava passar por tudo aquilo, mas infelizmente não seria verdade, tudo o que ele estava sentindo fazia parte do processo de cinco passos sobre o luto. Para superar é necessário lembrar, para lembrar é necessário sentir, para enfim poder viver. Toda dor tem que ser sentida para que uma cicatriz tome seu lugar.”

“Seva, love and sacrifice are the basic prerequisites for human development. If you agree with this precept, nurture good will towards all and help people to the best of your ability without expecting anything in return. Don't think, 'I will render service only when the organizers agree with me and not otherwise.' Dear brother! In that case, you will not be able to serve. You will only nurture your ego by making others agree with you.”
