“Tibby cried into her soup when it finally came. "I'm scared... ," she told it. The carrots and peas made no reply, but she felt better for having told them.”
“Tibby sat on the outside of a group of kids in the film program. There was a lot of dark clothing and heavy footwear, and quite a few piercings glinting in sunlight. They had invited her to sit with them while they all finished up their lunches before film seminar. Tibby knew that they had invited her largely because she had a ring in her nose. This bugged her almost as much as when people excluded her because she had a ring in her nose.”

“Tibet became a laboratory for the enlightenment movement to create its model society, to evolve into an actual manifestation of a buddha‘s pure universe, a „buddhaverse“. A social buddhaverse is a place where everything is geared toward enlightenment, where every lifetime is made meaningful by dedication to optimal evolutionary development. Because that nation embraced the enlightenment movement for more than a millennium, Tibet is the prime example of a sustained attempt by an entire people to create a society, culture, and civilization that cherish the individual‘s pursuit of enlightenment over the needs of society. Instead of believing that a strong central government can force a group of people into making a better place to live, the Tibetans, influenced by ancient India, saw that helping the individual is what transforms society. Imagine a culture in which everything is geared toward helping all individuals become the best human beings they can be; in which individuals are driven to devoting their lives to becoming enlightened by the natural flood of compassion for others that arises out of their wisdom. Once an individual attains enlightenment, society at large automatically becomes enriched. This was the heart of the Buddha‘s social revolution. (p. 32-33)”

“Tibetan Buddhism defines enemies as hidden influences that cause people to behave inappropriately, sometimes to the point of complete destruction.

But if the person puts himself in a lower position, then that person is like a fertile field.”

Boyle. Rufus Leddy Boyle, lo scienziato pazzo.
Henry sentì crescere dentro di sé la paura, come albume d'uovo montato a neve. In che mani era finito? Tentò ancora di muoversi, ma invano. L'ombra dell'uomo che aveva appena parlato gli coprì il viso.
«So che potete sentirmi, lord Demison. Sono il colonnello Comask». Pausa. Anche l'uomo chiamato “dottor Boyle” entrò nel campo visivo di Henry. Poi il colonnello proseguì: «Avete servito egregiamente la corona, ma date le circostanze, credo che sia opportuno congedarvi. Non c'è urgenza di recuperare i documenti. E, almeno per il momento, la vostra missione è compiuta». Fece un saluto militare. «Ci rivedremo a Londra». Salutò il dottore e se ne andò.
Henry era ancora impossibilitato a muoversi. Vide il dottor Boyle farsi più vicino e togliersi gli occhialini di protezione. Gli lesse negli occhi una strana mescolanza di orgoglio e compassione.
«Bentornato tra i civili, lord Demison», disse l'uomo con insolita dolcezza. «E benvenuto nella vostra nuova vita».”

“Tick is a cartoon character, I don't know if you're familiar with him. This is the third step in his evolution. Comic book to cartoon to, now, live-action.”
“Tick. Tick. Tick.
This is the sound of your life running out.”
“Tick tick tick tick flip flip flip flip. Her brain never stopped. She was constantly running scenarios, tracing paths forward into different futures. Darkstalker had thought he was pretty good at this himself — he could see not just the most plausible future, but a few alternates where things were different. But she had thousands of strands gathered in her mind, weaving and interweaving and knotting and tangling.
He regretted promising to stay out; it was fascinating in there.”

“Tick-tock appeared to have forgotten all about both Brandon and the woman who had literally laughed herself to death. His brilliant green eyes had fixed on something which interested him much more than the dead woman.
"Come here, cully," he said. "I want a better look at you."
Gasher gave him a shove. Jake stumbled forward. He would have fallen if Tick-Tock's strong hands hadn't caught him by the shoulders. Then, when he was sure Jake had his balance again, Tick-Tock grasped the boy's left wrist and raised it. It was Jake's Seiko which had drawn his interest.
"If this here's what I think it is, it's an omen for sure and true," Tick-Tock said. "Talk to me, boy--what's this sigul you wear?"
Jake, who hadn't the slightest idea what a sigul was, could only hope for the best. "It's a watch. But it doesn't work, Mr. Tick-Tock."
Hoots chuckled at that, then clapped both hands over his mouth when the Tick-Tock Man turned to look at him. After a moment, Tick-Tock looked back at Jake, and a sunny smile replaced the frown. Looking at that smile almost made you forget that it was a dead woman and not a movie Mexican taking a siesta against the wall of an adobe over there. Looking at it almost made you forget that these people were crazy, and the Tick-Tock Man was likely the craziest inmate in the whole asylum.
"Watch," Tick-Tock said, nodding. "Ar, a likely enough name for such; after all, what does a person want with a timepiece but to watch it once in a while? Ar, Brandon? Ar, Tilly? Ar, Gasher?"
They responded with eager affirmatives. The Tick-Tock Man favored them with his winning smile, then turned back to Jake again. Now Jake noticed that the smile, winning or not, stopped well short of the Tick-Tock Man's green eyes. They were as they had been throughout: cool, cruel, and curious.”

“Tick-Tock: Now, now...no need of that, Gasher.
Gasher: If you say there's no need, there ain't. Still, he's wery pert, Ticky. Wery pert, Ticky. Wery pert indeed, so he is, and if you want my opinion, he'll take a deal of training!
Tick-Tock: When I want your opinion, I'll ask for it. Now close the door, Gash--was you bore in a barn?”

“Tick-Tock's mouth opened in a shocked O of surprise, an expression which said more clearly than words could have done that, for all his intelligence, Tick-Tock had expected to live a long, happy life where he shot people but was never shot himself. Shot AT, perhaps but actually hit? That surprised expression said that just wasn't supposed to be in the cards.”

“Tick-Tock: (to Tilly) I told her about that laugh, didn't I, Tilly?
Tilly: Ar. So you did, many and many a time. I'll set my watch and warrant on it.
Tick-Tock: (to Tilly) So you might, if you could reach up your fat ass far enough to find them. (to Brandon) Bring me my knife, Brandon, and mind you wipe that slut's stink off it before you put it in my hand.”

“Tick, tock,” whispers Wiress. I guide her in front of me and get her to lie down, stroking her arm to soothe her. She drifts off, stirring restlessly, occasionally sighing out her phrase. “Tick, tock.” “Tick, tock,” I agree softly. “It’s time for bed. Tick, tock. Go to sleep.”

“Tickle me, stroke me, feed me, fuck me,
Overload my senses-- hug me, drug me.
It's hard, you see, to consider what's more,
When we hate to think and love the gin.
But until this pleasure dies, I will never live--
There has to be more to life than this.”

“Tickled Ink was her local indie bookstore in Brooklyn and was perhaps Rosemary's favorite place on earth, aside from her writing beanbag chair. Thanks to Max, both the horror and romance sections--- the two most important sections of a bookstore, if you asked Rosemary--- were exceptionally well curated.”

“Tickler: I hate novelties. Is the prosecution mania about to subside, think you? Now-a-days, every word is said to be actionable. You cannot open your mouth, or put pen to paper, without feeing a libel-lawyer. An Edinburgh Whig, and really some of the London ones seem no better, is an animal without a skin. [The Whigs] have entered into a cowardly compact to prosecute every syllable that shall ever be written against any one of their degraded and slanderous selves.”

“Tidak ada harga mati di sepanjang lorong sivilisasi, kecuali evolusi. Ia adalah hal yang tidak terelakkan. Evolusi adalah harga mati. Namun, harga yang bisa ditawar adalah resultan dari evolusi: deklinasi, stagnasi, atau eskalasi. Manusia memiliki potensi untuk merekayasanya. Namun, ia dibatasi oleh daur hidup yang terlimitasi. Ia berlomba dengan waktu, dan alam raya memiliki kuasa penuh untuk menavigasinya.”

“Tidak ada manusia waras yang anti terhadap humanisme. Humanisme bukan musuh Tuhan. Ia adalah upaya manusia menempatkan nilai pada manusia itu sendiri, tanpa perantara, tanpa ketakutan akan hukuman abadi. Maka ketika sebuah ajaran melestarikan nilai-nilai usang yang bertentangan dengan kesetaraan, keberagaman, dan perkembangan sains, ajaran itu bukan jalan pencerahan. Ia adalah virus mental yang menghambat evolusi kognitif.”

“Tidak ada manusia waras yang anti terhadap humanisme. Manusia beradab adalah mereka yang antikeobsoletan, kebebalan, arogansi, dan kebiadaban. Kredo, agama, ketuhanan, kepercayaan, hingga spiritualitas sejatinya adalah sarana kemanusiaan—sebuah agen pencerah—maka ia harus bersifat fleksibel, karena evolusi adalah harga mati; ia tak terelakkan. Ketika sebuah ajaran arkais masih melestarikan dalil-dalil usang berdasarkan ketuhanan yang tidak selaras dengan kompromi moralitas universal yang terukur dan teruji, kesetaraan, diversitas, perkembangan zaman, dan kemajuan ilmu pengetahuan, maka ia menjadi ancaman bagi koeksistensi dan sepatutnya menempuh upaya moderasi. Asimilasi, integrasi, dan sinkretisme adalah keniscayaan, sebuah keharusan demi mencapai kulminasi kemanusiaan. Jika tidak, bersiaplah untuk ditelanjangi, dieliminasi, atau punah tergerus evolusi.”
