“Testosterone has far less to do with aggression than most assume. Within the normal range, individual differences in testosterone levels don’t predict who will be aggressive. Moreover, the more an organism has been aggressive, the less testosterone is needed for further aggression. When testosterone does play a role, it’s facilitatory—testosterone does not 'invent' aggression. It makes us more sensitive to triggers of aggression. Also, rising testosterone levels foster aggression only during challenges to status. Finally, crucially, the rise in testosterone during a status challenge does not necessarily increase aggression; it increases whatever is needed to maintain status. In a world in which status is awarded for the best of our behaviors, testosterone would be the most prosocial hormone in existence.”

“Testosterone makes us more willing to do what it takes to attain and maintain status. And the key point is what it takes. Engineer social circumstances right, and boosting testosterone levels during a challenge would make people compete like crazy to do the most acts of random kindness. In our world riddled with male violence, the problem isn't that testosterone can increase levels of aggression. The problem is the frequency with which we reward aggression.”

“Tests and trials are given to all of us. These mortal challenges allow us and our Heavenly Father to see whether we will exercise our agency to follow His Son. He already knows, and we have the opportunity to learn, that no matter how difficult our circumstances, all these things shall be for our experience, and our good.”

“Tests are sometimes mistaken with quality assurance. These two notions are not identical: 1) quality assurance ensures that the organization's processes are implemented and applied correctly; 2) testing identifies defects and failures, and provides information on the software and the risks associated with their release to the market”

“Tests shouldn’t verify units of code. Instead they should verify units of behavior: something that is meaningful for the problem domain and ideally something that a business person can recognize as useful. The number of classes it takes to implement such a unit of behavior is irrelevant. The unit could span across multiple classes or only one class, or even take up just a tiny method. [...] A test should tell a story about the problem your code helps to share, and this story should be cohesive and meaningful to a non-programmer.”

“Tests showed cancer of the larynx and the doctor advised an operation immediately. I was informed that my larynx had to be removed completely. I heard about Dr Breuss and went to see him....he prescribed the juice treatment....By the time I had completed this juice treatment I felt fit and once again had a good appetite. Despite my 72 years I felt my old self again.”

“Teta was wary, but anxious to leave city life behind. He was born in a shack on a farm and raised more by the animals and elements than his parents. His stint in New York was against his nature. But no matter how many times I told him to skedaddle, he stayed by my side like a tick or a bedbug. Blood brothers, he called us. I was never sure if he meant it in the traditional sense or if he was referring to the prodigious amount of blood we'd shed together.”

“Tetap wartawan-wartawan terus saja menulis bahwa aku ini seorang 'budak Moskow'. Baiklah kujelaskan sekali lagi dan untuk terakhir kali. Aku bukan, tidak pernah dan tidak mungkin menjadi seorang komunis. Aku membungkukkan diri ke Moskow? Setiap orang yang pernah dekat dengan Sukarno mengetahui, dia memiliki ego yang terlalu besar untuk bisa menjadi budak dari seseorang, kecuali budak dari rakyatnya. Aku memiliki ego. Itu kuakui. Tapi apakah seorang yang tanpa ego bisa mempersatukan 10.000 pulau menjadi satu bangsa. Dan aku memang tinggi hati. Siapa pula yang tidak demikian? Bukankah setiap orang ingin mendapat pujian?”

“Tetapi saya tidak puas, sama sekali masih belum puas. Lebih jauh, selalu lebih jauh yang saya kehendaki! Bukan, bukan perayaan, bukan bersuka-sukaan yang saya inginkan, yang menjadi tujuan keinginan saya akan kebebasan. Saya ingin bebas agar saya boleh, dapat berdiri sendiri, tidak perly bergantung kepada orang lain, agar ... agar tidak harus kawin. Tetapi kami harus kawin, harus, harus. Tidak kawin adalah dosa yang paling besar bagi seorang perempuan Islam, cela yabg paling besar yang ditanggung seorang gadis Bumiputera dan keluarganya.”
