“Volatility and length, that's the value on an option. 10 years on a startup stock, that's a big valuable thing.”
“Volatility is a symptom that people have no idea of the underlying value-that they have stopped playing the asset game. They're not buying because it's a company with certain attributes. They're buying because the price is rising. People are playing games not related to any concept at all of what the long-term value of the enterprise is. And they know it.”
“Volatility is a symptom that people have no idea of the underlying value.”
“Volatility is good.
Stock Market volatility is what helps it give you stellar returns.”

“Volatility is not chaos — it’s the voice of the market breaking its mask.”
Rafael J. Davila”
“Volatility may be rising simply because investors must digest more information every day.”
“Volcanic action is essentially paroxysmal; yet Mr. Lyell will admit no greater paroxysms than we ourselves have witnessed-no periods of feverish spasmodic energy, during which the very framework of nature has been convulsed and torn asunder. The utmost movements that he allows are a slight quivering of her muscular integuments.”
“Volcanic ash will be experienced in all parts of your world, as the volcanoes around your earth are simultaneously activated. Face masks and goggles will be of great value”
“Volcanos have naturally been regarded with fear and awe. When medieval Christians viewed the eruption of Mt. Hekla in Inceland and saw churning fragments of soft lava suspended over the summit, they imagined they were seeing the souls of the damned awaiting entrance to Hell. "Fearful howlings, weeping and gnashing of teeth", "melancholy cries and loud wailings" were dutifully reported. The glowing red lakes and sulfurous gases within the Hekla caldera were thought to be a real glimpse into the underworld and confirmation of folk beliefs in Hell (and, by simmetry, in its partner, Heaven).”

“Voldemort himself created his worst enemy, just as tyrants everywhere do! Have you any idea how much tyrants fear the people who they oppress?”

“Voldemort himself created his worst enemy, just as tyrants everywhere do! Have you any idea how much tyrants fear the people they oppress? All of them realize that, one day, amongst their many victims, there is sure to be one who rises against them and strikes back!”
“Voldemort is playing a very clever game. Declaring himself might have provoked open rebellion. Remaining masked has created confusion, uncertainty, and fear.”
“Voldemort uses people his enemies are close to. He's already used you as bait once, and that was just because you're my best friend's sister. Think how much danger you'll be in if we keep this up. He'll know, he'll find out. He'll try and get to me through you.”
“Voldemort? That might be real.”
“Voldemort’s fury at the fall of his last, best lieutenant exploded with the force of a bomb.”
“Voldria poder ser tan útil com vostè; ajudar una sola persona és potser més segur que ajudar aquesta pàtria d'ara i això que en diem humanitat... i, dit sigui de passada, hauríem de retirar-li aquest bonic nom mentre duri la guerra, ja no li escau. —Se la mirà amb posat dubitatiu—. De fet no hauria de parlar així a la filla d'un general, sinó escriure opuscles i articles bèl·lics com els meus senyors col·legues. Però jo tinc una mania: la guerra és un crim i una bestiesa. No voldria influenciar-la, a vostè. D'altra banda, tinc la impressió que m'arrisco parlant així. Potser estic contaminat perquè acabo de venir de cals «enemics», d'Anglaterra. Potser ja no veig les coses clares. Potser n'hi ha d'altres que també tenen un fill. Un serbi, un rus.
Però ara només es pot veure i s'ha de veure les coses com les veu ella, la guerra. Jo no ho puc canviar després de trenta anys; per a mi no hi ha ronyons francesos, russos o austríacs, i no es pot distingir els enemics a partir de les partícules sanguínies; només puc ser allà on hi ha un malalt i puc ajudar. No és pas la humanitat victoriosa la que necessita el metge, sinó la malalta. No puc ni vull acceptar una altra cosa. Mentre jo m'he escarrassat tota la vida a ajudar els individus, ells celebren, en els seus comunicats militars, haver anihilat totalment sis divisions. És pràctic, i recomanable, readaptar-se, però estic massa cansat per a ser pràctic d'aquesta manera.”

“Volere è potere, dice il proverbio, ma alle donne si lascia credere che il loro potere sia invece quello di essere volute. È un inganno: desiderare ti rende soggetto attivo e ti educa a scegliere, invece che a essere scelta. Chi desidera comanda. Dire sempre «desiderami» e mai «io desidero» è un cammino di de-formazione, perché chi può solo essere desiderabile sacrificherà la propria forma per prendere quella che pensa sarà piú desiderata, condannandosi a esistere solo come conseguenza dello sguardo di altri.”

“Voleva fuggire, buttarsi da sola sul letto a faccia in giù e assaporare il dolore cocente di quel momento, e poi seguire con il pensiero il diramarsi di ogni possibile conseguenza fino al punto esatto che precedeva la devastazione. Aveva bisogno di contemplare a occhi chiusi la ricchezza di quello che aveva perso, di quello che aveva ceduto, e di prefigurarsi il nuovo stato delle cose.”

quanto profondamente il conte l’avesse marchiata come sua.”

“Voleva vederla subito, e toccarla, respirare tra i suoi capelli e averla tutta per sé, immediatamente.
«Vieni.» bisbigliò, in modo impercettibile.
«Cosa?»
«Vieni subito da me, Emily.»”
“Volevo che tu vedessi cos'è il vero coraggio, invece di farti l'idea che il coraggio è un uomo con un fucile in mano. E' quando sai che sei battuto prima di cominciare ma cominci lo stesso e vai fino in fondo qualunque cosa succeda. Si vince di rado, ma qualche volta si vince.”

“Volevo dire... se ci fosse qualcuno responsabile dell'andamento del mondo, Dio o qualcosa del genere, che al momento giusto dicesse 'Questo è troppo: è assolutamente inaccettabile', oppure 'Per quanto riguarda lui va bene così, può bastare', sarebbe molto bello. Ma qualcuno così non c'è. Peccato, se ci fosse saprebbe porre fine a molte cose. Invece nessuno lo fa. Dobbiamo pensarci noi. Per quante cose terribili possiamo vedere, non ci resta che pensare che tutto può accadere.”

“Volevo odiarla, punirla. Volevo che sapesse che non era niente e che capisse che era tutto. Volevo sentirla gridare, chiedere perdono per avermi tradito, ma prima ancora di questo volevo amarla. Lo volevo da tanto e con una tale intensità da stare male.

“Volgt uwe geburen na, breidt u uit aan den overkant der zeeën, telkens als gij daartoe de gelegenheid zult hebben, en gij zult er kostelijke uitvoerwegen voor uwe voortbrengselen vinden, bedrijvigheid voor uwen handel; werk voor al de arbeids- krachten, die wij thans niet gebruiken kunnen; plaats voor den overvloed onzer bevolking; nieuwe inkomsten voor de schatkist, die wellicht eenmaal aan onze Regeering zouden toelaten, naar het voorbeeld der Nederlandsche, de belastingen in het moederland te verminderen; eindelijk eene gewisse vermeerdering van macht en een nog beteren toestand in het centrum van het groot Europeesch gezin.”

“Voll Blüten steht der Pfirsichbaum
nicht jede wächst zur Frucht
sie schimmern hell wie Rosenschaum
durch Blau und Wolkenflucht.
Wie Blüten geh'n Gedanken auf
hundert an jedem Tag --
lass' blühen, lass' dem Ding den Lauf
frag' nicht nach dem Ertrag!
Es muss auch Spiel und Unschuld sein
und Blütenüberfluss
sonst wär' die Welt uns viel zu klein
und Leben kein Genuss.”

“Volnay is prancing, head up proudly; her squat little bowlegs producing a smooth gait that would make the dog show people preen. She carries herself like a supermodel. Weiner dog or no, she is a fairly perfect specimen of her breed. And I know I'm supposed to be all about the rescue mutts, and I give money to PAWS every year, but there is something about having a dog with a pedigree that makes me smile. Her AKC name is The Lady Volnay of Cote de Beaune. The French would call her a jolie laide, "beautiful ugly," like those people whose slightly off features, sort of unattractive and unconventional on their own, come together to make someone who is compelling, striking, and handsome in a unique way. I'm always so proud that I'm her person.”
