“Tuning out the rest of life going within the deep closet of the mind.”

All the protagonists of the nation's social, cultural, economic and political life must work to overcome useless and counterproductive polarisation, and to find solutions to domestic, regional and international problems.”
“Tunnel from the absolute realm into the relative realm of the world and vice versa. Without one, there is no other. This point could also be the nucleus of a black hole at the point of its absolute density where everything sank into One without any space. That is the Zero point. This point is the gateway to new life. At this point, a black hole either “explodes” or disappears.”

“Tunstell, this is your Alpha speaking. Do as I tell you. You must regurgitate now. Regurgitation is an involuntary action. You cannot simply order me to do it,” replied Tunstell in a small voice. “I most certainly can. Besides which, you are an actor.” Tunstell grimaced. “I’ve never had cause to vomit onstage.”
“Tuntuu omituiselta, että eronhetkellä ihminen tahtoo olla hyvissä välissä kaikkien kanssa, koskipa ero sitten ajallista tai ijankaikkista hetkeä. Se on sellainen puolisivistyneen ihmisen heikkous, kun hän luulee näillä loppuanteeksipyynnöillään korvaavansa kaikki aikaisemmat ajatukset, puheet ja teot, ja se valtaa eronhetkellä mielen ja kielen. Jos sattuisi niinkuin kuolemaankin, sanottaisiin: "hän kuoli niin kauniisti ja sovussa kaikkien kanssa." - Epäilen muuten, olisiko kuolijasta ollut epäsovun tekijääkään, ja mitä kuolon kauneuteen tulee, muistin karhun, joka ei pyydä keneltäkään anteeksi ja kuolee sentään kauniisti.”

“Tuo tarpu kažkoks vargšas katorgininkėlis nuo Gdansko, pasisukaliojęs prie mūsų, padovanojo mum visiem vieną kiaušinį, - kad vardas tojo lenkelio būtų palaimintas per amžius!
Ir mes dabar, kaip visi gyvieji žmonės, švenčiame velykas! Sėdim po stogu, ant suolo, - ir kiaušinį turime!
Vyriausias iš mūsų tarpo, drebančiom rankom iš susijaudinimo, paėmė tą kiaušinėlį, padalino kiekvienam po plonučiuką gabalėlį, apsiašarodamas palaimino kiekvieną iš mūsų.
Simbolis - simboliu, bet vis dėlto simbolis kartais esti daug galingesnis už pačią pasiučiausią tikrovę!
Tą dieną pietų mes jau nebenorėjome. Buvome sotūs tuo kiaušinio gabalėliu, - ir dar kaip sotūs!
Galimas daiktas, pasotino mus ir tyliai paslapčiomis prarytos ašaros, gal dar ir slapti prisiminimai - Tėvynės, tėvų, brolių, seserų, šeimų, - visa tai labai galimas daiktas, bet istorija apie tai tyli.”

“Tuoksussa tässä on outoa taikaa.
Miten voi tuoksua yhtä aikaa:
hunajalta,
apilalta,
raukkauden räiskeeltä,
suukkosien mäiskeeltä,
talvelta ja kesältä,
pikkulinnun pesältä.”

“Tuoni takes her by the shoulders and turns her to face him. “Remember this Anya. Dreams have power; they show old truths you are too blind to see on waking. They make you remember memories that are lost in the blood flowing through your veins. Remember her magic. Remember what she did when you wake,” he says before he pushes her off the cliff.”

“Tupac and I were just close friends because we had such an insatiable drive and passion for acting and entertainment.”
“Tupac gave us validity. Tupac made the kid getting beat up every day realize that it was okay to be smart. Tupac made the knucklehead realize that it was okay to stay home and read a book. A fool at 40, a fool forever.”
“Tupac Shakur always wanted me to smoke weed with him, and I never did it, and I wish I did...That's my biggest regret.”
“Tupac Shakur is something that, of course I want to make the Tupac movie, I love Tupac, but when that movie was announced, we didn't even have a script yet. It was just being written. People announce things too soon. If you go to any filmmaker - Clint Eastwood, Oliver Stone, Martin Scorsese, Ben Affleck, Michael Mann - you go in their offices and there are scripts everywhere and there's about four or five of them you really want to make.”
“Tupac the son of the Black Panther, and Tupac the rider. Those are the two people inside of me. I was raised off those ideals.”

“Tupo watu takriban bilioni saba katika dunia hii. Kila mtu ni wa kipekee. Mathalani, wewe ni tofauti na baba yako au mama yako au mtu mwingine yoyote yule. Kila mtu aliumbwa kivyake na Mwenyezi Mungu. Kila mtu ana nafasi ya kwake mwenyewe aliyopangiwa na Mungu hapa duniani. Haijalishi wewe ni mwanamke au mwanamume, mweupe au mweusi, mfupi au mrefu, mzuri au mbaya, una nafasi katika nchi na dunia hii. Unachotakiwa kufanya ni kuamka, kufumbua macho na kuujua ukweli. Tafuta maarifa katika Biblia kama wewe ni Mkristo. Tafuta maarifa katika Kurani kama wewe ni Mwislamu. Tafuta maarifa katika Yoga kama wewe haumwamini Mungu. Ukishaamka na kuujua ukweli, ukishapata nafasi katika nchi yako, kuwa kiongozi na mkarimu kwa wenzako. Jifunze kutoka kwa wengine ndani na nje ya tasnia yako. Usiwe mchoyo wa maarifa. Kuwa mwadilifu. Ukifanya hivyo utafanikiwa zaidi, utaipa heshima tasnia yako, na utaacha alama katika dunia baada ya kuondoka. Kuacha alama katika dunia si lazima upate nafasi katika dunia. Kuacha alama katika dunia acha alama katika nchi yako.”
“Turbines designed for low-flow situations would be wasteful in times of high water. Turbines designed for high efficiency at, say, five hundred cubic feet per second might be ineffective in times of low water. Under certain conditions, turbines can go into a state of cavitation, wherein vaporizing water creates bubbles that implode on the metal and riddle it with tiny holes. The ideal turbine for a little mill up a creek somewhere in inconsistent country would be one that was prepared to take whatever might come, to sit there and react calmly in any situation, to respond evenly to wild and sudden demands, to make the best of difficult circumstances, to remain steadfast in time of adversity, to keep going, above all to press on, to persevere, and not vibrate, fibrillate, vacillate, cavitate, or panic - in short, to accept with versatile competence what is known in hydroelectrical engineering as the run of the river.”

“Turbocharge this present moment with your supercharged presence.”
“Turbochargers are for people who cant build engines.”
“Turbos are people who can't build engines.”
“Turbulence breaks a tree’s branches, but only tickles an eagle’s wings.”
“Turbulence during a relationship does not mean its core, foundation and essence changes. Couples will run into obstacles. The challenge may knock the wind out of them, but it does not have to cripple their resolve. Both people must trust that on the other side of crisis still exist the qualities you appreciate.”

“Turbulence is a condition that we all experience during a flight when the plane is bouncing around by competing air currents. By analogy, the economy may bounce around a lot because of competing currents of public moods and investments. One week everyone might be optimistic and then suddenly something happens to turn everyone into pessimists. Investment dries up and investors become risk averse. A sudden piece of good news then turns around the public mood.”
“Turbulence is life force. It is opportunity. Let's love turbulence and use it for change.”
“Turbulence is the most important unsolved problem of classical physics.”
“Turbulence means nothing if God is the pilot.”
“Turbulence stretches a tree.”
“Turbulence that blows you to greatness is better than calmness that stalls you in mediocrity.”
“Turbulence, like many forms of trouble, cannot always be seen. We bounce so hard my arms sail helplessly above my head. In evolution, wing bones became arms and hands; perhaps I'm de-evolving.”

“Turbulence.” This is what pilots announce that you have encountered when your plane strikes an object in midair. You'll be flying along, and there will be an enormous, shuddering WHUMP, and clearly the plane has rammed into an airborne object at least the size of a water buffalo, and the pilot will say, “Folks, we're encountering a little turbulence.” Meanwhile they are up there in the cockpit trying desperately to clean water-buffalo organs off the windshield.”
“Turbulent childhood, adolescent daydreams in the drone of the bus's motor, mornings, unspoiled girls, beaches, young muscles always at the peak of their effort, evening's slight anxiety in a sixteen-year-old-heart, lust for life, fame, and ever the same sky through the years, unfailing in strength and light, itself insatiable, consuming one by one over a period of months the victims stretched out in the form of crosses on the beach at the deathlike hour of noon.”
“Turbulent, discontented men of quality, in proportion as they are puffed up with personal pride and arrogance, generally despise their own order.”

“Ture stories can't be told forward, only backward. We invent them from the vantage point of an ever-changing present and tell ourselves how they unfolded.”

“Turgenev saw human beings as individuals always endowed with consciousness, character, feelings, and moral strengths and weaknesses; Marx saw them always as snowflakes in an avalanche, as instances of general forces, as not yet fully human because utterly conditioned by their circumstances. Where Turgenev saw men, Marx saw classes of men; where Turgenev saw people, Marx saw the People. These two ways of looking at the world persist into our own time and profoundly affect, for better or for worse, the solutions we propose to our social problems.”
“Turgenev was a very serious fellow but he could make me laugh because a truth first encountered can be very funny. When someone else's truth is the same as your truth, and he seems to be saying it just for you, that's great.”

“Turi remembers this strange feeling repeated throughout his life: who he thinks he is in his mind is sometimes not who others see or imagine he can be. This gap never seems to go away. Sometimes this secret self is comforting, for its privacy. Sometimes it is amusing, when he witnesses what crazy assumptions others have of him. Too often this gap is dispiriting, a prison inside of him without any means of escape.”

“Turian Councilor: Ah yes, Reapers. The immortal race of sentient starships allegedly waiting in dark space. We have dismissed that claim.”

“Turing attended Wittgenstein's lectures on the philosophy of mathematics in Cambridge in 1939 and disagreed strongly with a line of argument that Wittgenstein was pursuing which wanted to allow contradictions to exist in mathematical systems. Wittgenstein argues that he can see why people don't like contradictions outside of mathematics but cannot see what harm they do inside mathematics. Turing is exasperated and points out that such contradictions inside mathematics will lead to disasters outside mathematics: bridges will fall down. Only if there are no applications will the consequences of contradictions be innocuous. Turing eventually gave up attending these lectures. His despair is understandable. The inclusion of just one contradiction (like 0 = 1) in an axiomatic system allows any statement about the objects in the system to be proved true (and also proved false). When Bertrand Russel pointed this out in a lecture he was once challenged by a heckler demanding that he show how the questioner could be proved to be the Pope if 2 + 2 = 5. Russel replied immediately that 'if twice 2 is 5, then 4 is 5, subtract 3; then 1 = 2. But you and the Pope are 2; therefore you and the Pope are 1'! A contradictory statement is the ultimate Trojan horse.”

“Turkey are the independent people. We are our own nation in this world - a nation of writers, journalists, artists, moviemakers, and academics. We act together. If there is a problem, we act to correct it.”
“Turkey boasts a robust infrastructure for cardiac surgery, with 57 thoracic surgery teaching clinics (42 in state universities, 15 in public hospitals), primarily concentrated in Istanbul (16), Ankara (5), Izmir (4), and Konya (3). There are 987 cardiovascular surgeons and 474 residents, performing approximately 66,105 cardiac operations and 333,000 coronary angiographies annually. Key procedures include CABG (838.5 per million people, higher than Europe's 361.8), percutaneous coronary interventions (2708.8 per million), and cardiac transplantations (80 per year).”
“Turkey has a very young, dynamic, curious population. In Europe, Facebook and Twitter are mostly about sharing daily experiences while for Turkish people, social networks are political platforms.”
“Turkey has had a customs union with Europe since 1996, and there's free trade in everything other than farm products and services. And Turkey has shown that it can compete. It's good at making cheap goods - household appliances, food, detergents, cheap clothes. And they make a lot of white goods, cheap TVs, washing machines, electric appliances, steel, and, recently, auto parts. And Turks are gradually moving into IT.”
“Turkey has in interest in finding agreement on more permissive visa requirements, it wants to be recognized as a safe country of origin and it wants to finally return to constructive EU accession negotiations. We Europeans decide all of those things together.”
“Turkey has its own interests and historically, Turkey conquered most of the Arab world, and the Arabs had to fight wars of liberation to free themselves from the Turks. That's in the past and that doesn't necessarily shape what is going on but it's there and it's there in people's memories.”
