“Very, that show is crazy. It was like doing finals every week. It was interesting. I really learned a lot. The dialogue is so technical. I was so impressed watching the other actors and how they managed, so I studied them. And I was blown away thinking: "How do they do that? How do they put that extra spin on the complicated dialogue to make it interesting?”
“Very, very broadly speaking, you can put directors into two areas: One for whom you work, and the other with whom you work. And I prefer the latter, for obvious reasons.

“Very, very often in movie sex you see this fiction about unity. A union. That somehow these two thinking beings become one, and there's one action and they're sort of perfectly in sync, and the lighting's perfect, and they've got their eyes closed, and they're gone, you know? And then you cut to someone having a cigarette. And it's all so much Novocain. Meanwhile, those of us us watching it are going "I'm never going to tell anybody, but I never have sex like that".”

“veryone has their own fate.
Another’s seems lighter.
But if G-d gives it to you — you’ll collapse beneath it.
Carry your own — to the end.”
“Verzweifelt rannte er los und sprang mit einem großen Satz über die Flammen. Seine Haut und Lungen brannten vor Hitze, fast wäre er gestürzt. Aus! Aus! Er schlug hektisch auf seine Hosenbeine und Schuhe, um die Funken zu ersticken, die sich wie heiße Nadeln in seine Haut bohrten.
Als er die Haustür erreichte, musste er bereits gebückt gehen, um noch Luft zu bekommen.
Er rüttelte an der Türklinke, schlug mit der Faust gegen die Eingangstür, bevor er sich erinnerte, dass Georg ihn eingesperrt hatte. Georg würde nicht rechtzeitig kommen, um ihn zu retten!
Mit letzter Kraft rannte er mit angehaltenem Atem weiter, bis er das nächste Fenster erreichte. Er wollte es öffnen, legte dazu eine Hand auf den Griff, als sich ein Siegel aktivierte und heißer Schmerz durch seine Finger und seinen Arm schoss.
»Nein!«
Der Einbrecherschutz verströmte sein rötliches Warnlicht, das mit den Flammen und dem Blinken der Feuermelder um die Wette loderte, und ein Fenster nach dem anderen aktivierte dasselbe Siegel. Er saß in der Falle!”

“Vesper felt herself turning red with humiliation. Then she looked at Allegra—really looked at her. Maybe she’d had such a problem with people not seeing her because she wasn’t seeing them. Did Allegra’s mask of rage hide pain and doubt that anyone would ever truly love her? She thought that it just might. Vesper didn’t quite feel compassion, but she no longer took Allegra’s behavior personally.”

“Vespers
Little Boy kneels at the foot of the bed,
Droops on the little hands little gold head.
Hush! Hush! Whisper who dares!
Christopher Robin is saying his prayers.
God bless Mummy. I know that's right.
Wasn't it fun in the bath tonight?
The cold's so cold, and the hot's so hot.
Oh! God bless Daddy -- I quite forgot.
If I open my fingers a little bit more,
I can see Nanny's dressing-gown on the door.
It's a beautiful blue, but it hasn't a hood.
Oh! God bless Nanny and make her good.
Mine has a hood, and I lie in bed,
And pull the hood right over my head,
And I shut my eyes, and I curl up small,
And nobody knows that I'm there at all.
Oh! Thank you, God, for a lovely day.
And what was the other I had to say?
I said "Bless Daddy," so what can it be?
Oh! Now I remember. God bless Me.
Little Boy kneels at the foot of the bed.
Droops on the little hands little gold head.
Hush! Hush! Whisper who dares!
Christopher Robin is saying his prayers.”

“Vesta Valdera," he started, his voice breaking as he said my name, “before I met you, I always felt like I was running—like I was never really home. But when I fell in love with you, I finally felt like I belonged somewhere. I love you more than I ever imagined I could love someone, and I will spend the rest of my life showing you how much. Will you marry me?”

“Vestia de marfim e transportava o mundo no olhar. Mal me recordo das palavras do padre, nem dos rostos perdidos de esperança dos convidados que enchiam a igreja naquela manhã de março. Fica apenas em mim o roçar dos seus lábios e, ao entreabrir os olhos, o juramento secreto que trazia na pele e que lembraria todos os dias da minha vida.”

“vet, korku insanı, acayip bir mahluka dönüştürebilir ama daha
beteri ruhumuzu görünmez duvarları olan bir odaya
hapsetmesi... Tutsak bir ruhtan daha fena ne olabilir? Korkuyla

benlik, korkuyla yarılan bilinç... Korkuyla büyüyen bir çocuk...
Sokaktan, hayattan ve insanlardan çekinen bir çocuk.”

“VETE ADENTRO
Allí, y sólo allí, hallarás las respuestas que buscas.
La experiencia de otro puede ser tocada, sin embargo solamente
la verdad dentro de ti
puede ser sentida.
¿La sientes?
Háblale a tu corazón, y fluye dentro del río de tu Alma.
El agua del interior te bañará
para liberarte verdaderamente.
Saltando en las aguas, no dejes que las profundidades te atemoricen,
ni las respuestas te asusten.
Pues aquí tú eres el niño que nacerá –
Despierta querido mío.”
“Vete en paz, ya que los dos hemos hecho un juramento diciendo que el Señor esté entre tú y yo para siempre.”

“Veteran art creates a meeting place between veterans and civilians, or simply between veterans with different experiences.”
“Veteran performers are dying off, and new acts simply aren't emerging on the national scene.”
“Veteran print editors and reporters at places like the 'Times' and 'The New Yorker' manage to feed and clothe their families without costing their companies a million bucks a month, and they produce a great deal more valuable reporting and analysis than the network news stars do.”
“Veterano, quítate esa aureola;

“Veterans continue to get the short end of the stick when it comes to this administration.”
“Veterans get priority in the training room and better parking, but there is not a whole lot of difference in terms of how they're treated in the competition for playing time. To me it doesn't matter if a guy is a 10-year veteran or a rookie. If the rookie is better, he finds his way onto the field.”
“Veterans have had a long record of leaning towards the Republican Party. I think that's changing. I think that President Obama has the strongest record with veterans among any president in my lifetime.”
“Veterans report that service dogs help break their isolation. People will often avert their eyes when they see a wounded veteran. But when the veteran has a dog, the same people will come up and say, 'Hi' to pet the dog and then strike up a conversation.”
“Veterans' issues are quite close to my heart. I find it quite hard to talk about, actually.”
“Veterinary medicine is in many ways like the noble art of the detective. It is all about using logic and careful observation from a starting point (case history and physical exam), gathering clues (running tests), and piecing those facts and clues together to come up with a solution (diagnosis and treatment). Critical thinking and problem solving in the context of animal illness is the real work of the veterinarian.
And now, for the first time ever, you can work your way through actual cases just like a vet does…without getting a drop of blood or slobber on you!”

“Vetinari leaned back and placed his fingers together.
‘Let us consider a situation in which some keen and highly inventive men devise a remarkable system of communication,’ he said. ‘What they have is a kind of passionate ingenuity, in large amounts. What they don’t have is money. They are not used to money. So they meet some . . . people, who introduce them to other people, friendly people, who for, oh, a forty per cent stake in the enterprise give them the much-needed cash and, very important, much fatherly advice and an introduction to a really good firm of accountants.
‘And so they proceed, and soon money is coming in and money is going out but somehow, they learn, they’re not quite as financially stable as they think and really do need more money. Well, this is all fine because it’s clear to all that the basic enterprise is going to be a money tree one day, and does it matter if they sign over another fifteen per cent? It’s just money. It’s not important in the way that shutter mechanisms are, is it?
‘And then they find out that yes, it is. It is everything. Suddenly the world’s turned upside down, suddenly those nice people aren’t so friendly any more, suddenly it turns out that those bits of paper they signed in a hurry, were advised to sign by people who smiled all the time, mean that they don’t actually own anything at all, not patents, not property, nothing. Not even the contents of their own heads, indeed. Even any ideas they have now don’t belong to them, apparently. And somehow they’re still in trouble about money.
‘Well, some run and some hide and some try to fight, which is foolish in the extreme, because it turns out that everything is legal, it really is. Some accept low-level jobs in the enterprise, because one has to live and in any case the enterprise even owns their dreams at night. And yet actual illegality, it would appear, has not taken place. Business is business.’
Lord Vetinari opened his eyes. The men around the table were staring at him.”

“Vets are close to my heart, okay, and it's not only because I served, okay. It's because of what they go through, okay. A lot of these people have gave their lives, a lot of them have gave their limbs, okay, you know, that's a, that's a, that's a heap, you know.”
“Vets do what doctors used to - diagnose the injury or the condition, patch it up as best they can and remind you that these things happen and that in life we are also in the midst of death.”
“Vetting and verifying information is one thing. Having our government sending out conflicting messages to the American people when conflict can be avoided is another.”
“Veturius is a Mask like the rest of us, yes. Bold, brave, strong, swift. But those were afterthoughts for him. Elias sees people as they should be, not as they are. He laughs at himself. He gives of himself - in everything he does. [...] He's the things that I can't be. He's good.”
