“Venise, dix heures du soir (samedi)
A bord de la Vénus, Loyd autrichien. On est déjà vraiment en Autriche ; le matelot qui m'a conduit à ma cabine m'a demandé : "Erste Klasse ? ..." Sur la table du salon où j'écris, j'ai des journaux allemands tout autour de moi ; des vues du Tyrol, des visages d'actrices du Trianon-Theater de Berlin. Mon regard, promené au hasard, tombe sur un poème :
Blauer Forellenbach
La Vénus sous pression tremble toute : on sera demain matin à sept heures à Trieste.
La promenade dans les petits coins du navire est toujours amusante ; c'est très propre et très brillant : tout luit, à l'intérieur ; le vernis blanc des cabines, les bois et les glaces des salons, les branches métalliques des lampes. Des avis affichés font penser, rédigés en grec, en serbe, en allemand, en italien, à toute l'activité maritime de l'Adriatique. C'est l'Orient et l'Occident mêlés. Et si l'on se sent en pays allemand au fond de ce steamer, on n'a qu'à remonter sur le pont pour retrouver, tout près, l'Italie. Des gondoles approchent, chargées de passagers et de bagages : les faisceaux des becs électriques au quai des Esclavons, allongeant des reflets blancs sur la lagune pareille à du papier glacé noir, éclairent assez distinctement le Jardin Royal, le palais rose des Doges, la façade rouge du Daniéli, et, en face, la Piazetta. L'embarquement se fait sans bruit ; les gondolent viennent frôler le flanc du navire tourné vers la ville, et les porteurs montent, sans cris, les grosses malles, le long du petit escalier qui pend sur l'eau. De Venise, toujours silencieuse, aucune rumeur ne vient, et les flots sont trop faibles et trop lents pour clapoter ... Pleine de chanteurs, une gondole s'arrête au bas de l'escalier volant. La légère musique italienne : les cordes pincées d'une mandoline, deux voix d'hommes et une voix de femme se mettent à courir de ce brave petit pas alerte et tremblant que l'on connaît si bien.”

“Venise n'est plus qu'une carte postale en couleurs." 1912”
“Venise à la qualité de disparaître en un instant,de ne pas courir derrière le train avec des clins d’œil à gauche et à droite comme le font d’autres villes, mais de sombrer aussitôt, comme si elle n’existait pas, comme si elle n’avait jamais existé.”

“Venison and venery defeated me.”
“Venison stinks when you chew it, it stinks in your gullet. The putrid meat expands in your bowels, it constricts the intestines, it constricts the appetite—it murders you slowly, clogging your organs with its horrifying stink. It constricts the spirit, nothing but a foul and rotten meat that constricts the soul. But, of course, there is no soul, there can be nothing holy in us—there cannot be anything of heaven in us, because we are depraved, because we are no better than the foul venison. We are the meat that rots, the rotten meat on the bone, and we stink from birth until death, from when no soul is wrought to when no soul escapes.”

“Venne un giorno, agli sgoccioli della primavera, che sembrava lo scampolo che un sarto avesse staccato da una pezza d'estate, oppure una prova in costume della stagione ventura.”
“Venne un giorno che alla svolta del sentiero della Palascia la strinsi tanto fra le braccia da toglierle il respiro: alzò gli occhi verso di me e per la prima volta mi guardò in modo diverso, come se avesse capito.”

“Venom by Stewart Stafford
Thou art the Great Pudenda;
The usurper king of Puck's Fair,
Miasma ague, a goat's smear,
From a reeking jakes' baited bear!
Thou dost hurl thy feeble barbs,
Witted pits 'gainst an impregnable bard,
With dagger'd quill to etch thy epitaph,
Far-outliving thy quarrel's shard.
Toad-spawn at the gates of Hades;
Cast out from its cursed ground,
For the dunghill art thou fit,
With its foul beetles all around.

“Venom didn't answer until they'd crossed teh street, his body moving with liquid grace. Holly couldn't help it; she watched him. There was something deadly about Venom. Not just power, but him. She wondered if he'd been like this as a human, too, dangerous and beautiful.
She blinked, shook her head. Obviously, if she was starting to think Venom beautiful, it was time to break her self-imposed celibacy and go get laid.”

“Venom doesn’t always declare itself in aggressions; sometimes it’s hidden in the calm of indifference, in the choices we justify, in the harm we cause without raising our voice.”

“Venting every feeling isn't mature. Learning to deal with uncomfortable and unpleasant feelings is an important aspect of maturity.”

Ventre de mãe, ventre orgulhoso,

“Vents were added to the rear bonnet in 1972 and resulted in wet engines and starting problems, and then extra drip-trays to compensate. From 1968 the Beetle got the right side fuel flap that dodgy people used to break open to steal your gas – or your fuel cap – another hard to find item if lost!”

“Venture capital has done much more, I think, to improve efficiency than anything.”
“Venture capital has peaked in terms of its appetite, in terms of how much money it wants to put in. So now private equity funds are piling in. Primarily because interest rates are virtually zero so there's no fixed income play and they're not moving around.”
“Venture capital is about .02% of the U.S. economy invested, and it accounts for 11% of total U.S. jobs and 21% of U.S. economic output. And the reason why is because these companies can get very big, very quickly.”
“Venture capital is unscalable. Production equals the time each partner has.”
“Venture capitalists are like lemmings jumping on the software bandwagon.”
“Venture capitalists are professional money managers. We are provided capital to invest as long as we can return it to our investors with a strong return in a reasonable amount of time. A strong return is three times cash on cash. A reasonable amount of time is ten years max.”
“Venture into the mountains and immerse yourself in their tranquil nature. Take that tranquillity with you, let it permeate your spirit, and infuse your life with a sense of meaning.”

“Venturing above 10,000 feet in altitude may cause permanent biological damage in the sea level adapted human.”
“Venturing back further, learning is so slow. Accomplishment is so slow. Experiencing and evaluating your experience is so slow.”
“Venturing is the saying of high dreaming, going down from a climb is like climbing. But when going down, we see who is beneath us. And when going up we concretized on who is above.”

“Venues are all the same, all feel the same, these generic blank spaces. I like artists like Lightning Bolt-bands that go in and kind of change things every time, play on the floor, set up in the middle of the room. They go in and they reinvent the space every time, which I feel is like the kind of thing that should just be happening.”
“Venus [Williams] has an amazing line; I love her collection. I'm always at her office. She has an interior design company and her EleVen company. They have a wonderful office space and I'm always there for the interior part and get to see what she's doing with EleVen.”
