“Viewers have a way of remembering the celebrity while forgetting the product. I did not know this when I paid Eleanor Roosevelt $35,000 to make a commercial for margarine. She reported that her mail was equally divided. "One half was sad because I had damaged my reputation. The other half was happy because I had damaged my reputation." Not one of my proudest memories.”

“Viewing that complex relationship one-sidedly from the aspect of manufacturing and the impact of Chinese imports on the United States makes sense from the point of view of the Rust Belt of the United States. It may even make sense as a political strategy for a candidate running for office.”

“Viewing the man from the genuine abolitionist ground, Mr. Lincoln seemed cold, tardy, weak and unequal to the task. But, viewing him from the sentiments of his people, which as a statesman he was bound to respect, then his actions were swift, bold, radical and decisive. Taking the man in the whole, balancing the tremendous magnitude of the situation, and the necessary means to ends, Infinite Wisdom has rarely sent a man into the world more perfectly suited to his mission than Abraham Lincoln.”

“Viewing things from a lower starting point provides a clearer perspective while simultaneously expediting the journey towards goals. This principle extends beyond the individual, encompassing society as a whole. Through collaborative overcoming of challenges, we can achieve significant social impact, bringing about positive changes that benefit everyone. This mindset encourages us not to perceive obstacles as insurmountable barriers but as steps towards realizing a greater vision for a better society.”

“Views of women, on one side, as inwardly directed toward home and family and notions of men, on the other, as outwardly striving toward fame and fortune have resounded throughout literature and in the texts of history, biology, and psychology until they seem uncontestable. Such dichotomous views defy the complexities of individuals and stifle the potential for people to reveal different dimensions of themselves in various settings.”

“Vigilante justice. People debated the appropriateness of terrible individuals who did terrible things to their supposed loved ones facing retribution outside a formal system. What was fair? What did justice require? No one ever asked the victims those questions. The burden to survive rested on them while the attacker could depend on the prejudices and faults within the system and the fickle demands of society to escape culpability. Despite that, we had choices. We were sitting in a house, not operating in a courtroom with all its rules and limitations. This was real life, where the answers weren't so clear. If you felt alone and no one stepped up to help then that bright line between right and wrong could blur. Maybe that's why I would have made a terrible lawyer. From my vantage point, the law malfunctioned many times when needed and delivered harsh blows often when unnecessary.”

“VII EL CARRUAJE Quiero ser el bastón de tu cojera, ser de tu alma herida el alma compañera. Andaremos caminares lentos, pausados, delicados; quizá en el camino nos hallará el alma curandera. Regresarás nueva y sana; me guardaré entonces útil y astillado del deber que me ocupaba. Mirarás tus manos cuando abraces libres pero llenas, y te verás, igual, libre y danzante; sólo el aire cargarás en tus caderas. No conocerá tu cicatriz el dolor de las heridas, estará tu piel todavía tersa para ser amada, no habrá más tropiezos porque alzarás el vuelo en la paz que no han de alcanzar jamás las flechas, no te abatirá más el olvido, ni hallarás tampoco mis astillas, estarás cansada, pero viva, estarás cansada, pero te sabrás viajera.”

“Viikkokausia on teerien kuherrus väreillyt rämeillä ja lammenjäillä, väreillyt yhtä kevytmielisesti kuin auringon lämmittämä ilma jokiahteilla tai latojen pärekatoilla jäkkiheinäisen niityn reunassa. Sillä keväthän nyt on, koivuilla hennonvihreät harsot ja kuulaat illat täynnä käen kukuntaa. Luhdalta kuovin huuto, salojärveltä telkän narahdus. Yksi lämmin sade, niin jopa korpilahdekkeet tulvahtaisivat täyteen muuraimen valkeita kukkia. Ja mahla alkaa virrata metsän puissa, sehän tiedetään. Kylmän talven ne ovat jäisinä nököttäneet kankailla, nyt alkaa elämä. Vesi ja mainiot ravintoaineet kiertelevät suurten petäjäin suonissa.”

“Viinituvista ja ilotaloista kantautui kaduille Syyrian rämisevä musiikki ja yhä enemmän vieraita sanoja kuului kaduilla ja yhä julkeammin tunkeutuivat syyrialaiset ja rikkaat neekerit egyptiläisten joukkoon. Egyptin rikkaus ja mahtavuus oli ääretön eikä vihollinen vuosisatoihin ollut astunut sen kaupunkeihin, ja keski-ikään olivat jo ehtineet miehet, jotka koskaan eivät olleet kokeneet sotaa. Mutta tuottiko se enemmän iloa ihmisille, sitä en tiennyt, sillä kaikkien katse oli levoton ja kaikilla oli kiire ja kaikki odottivat jotakin uutta tyytymättä tähän päivään.”

“Vijana wa Tume walipofika kambini chini ya ulinzi mkali wakiwa na Kahima, polisi wengi walionekana kuwapigia saluti lakini wakubwa wao wakawakataza na kuwambia wao walikuwa watu wa kawaida kama wao. Walisindikizwa na lundo la polisi mpaka ndani ya jumba la utawala Murphy alimokuwa ameuhifadhi mwili wa Radia. Walipofika walishtuka, na hata kuwashangaza polisi. Mwili wa Radia haukuwepo! Walitafuta kila sehemu, na kuwambia polisi wawasaidie kutafuta, lakini Radia alishapotea. Murphy alipata wazo na kutoka nje, kwa kukimbia, polisi wengi wakimfuata; mpaka katika helikopta ya DEA ambapo alifungua mlango na kuingia ndani. Ndani ya helikopta hakukuwa na mtu!”
