Their heads were wider than their shoulders and their mouths, bristling with teeth, stretched from ear to ear. They chattered as they came, shrieking in voices that were at once guttural and chirruping.”

To me, it's almost a privilege to be welcomed into these communities and to shine a light on them and, maybe, through my enthusiasm, to get people to reveal more of themselves than they may have intended. The show is laughing at me, adrift in their world, as much as at them. I don't have to play up that stuff. I'm not a matinee idol disguised as a nerd”

It's spring once again, the streets are paved with mud and the hills are alive with the sound of mosquitos.”
“Weird. I rang it three times.” – Nekoda “There might be something with out condo.” ‘Other than the fact that it lived under a perpetual dismal cloud and was infested with roaches the size of his fist.

“Weirdly—but as Danny and Amos had suspected—the further the winning number was from the number on a person's lottery ticket, the less regret they felt. "In defiance of logic, there is a definite sense that one comes closer to winning the lottery when one's ticket number is similar to the number that won," Danny wrote in a memo to Amos, summarizing their data. In another memo, he added that "the general point is that the same state of affairs (objectively) can be experienced with very different degrees of misery," depending on how easy it is to imagine that things might have turned out differently.
Regret was sufficiently imaginable that people conjured it out of situations they had no control over. But it was of course at its most potent when people might have done something to avoid it. What people regretted, and the intensity with which they regretted it, was not obvious.”

“Weirdly, Callidae had freed him of his fear that because he was drow, there was perhaps something wrong about him, something within him that even he could not truly trust. Callidae had shown him that Drizzt was not a fraud, and was not unique among the drow people—theories that both the controlling drow matrons and the prejudiced non-drow constantly advanced. It was Lolth, not the drow.”

“Weirdly, D&D didn't encourage my leanings towards trying magic of my own at all. In fact, it frustrated them. Even the most pompous and ambitious historical magicians, from the Zaroastrian Magi through John Dee, Francis Barrett and Aleister Crowley, never claimed to be able to throw fireballs or lightning bolts like D&D wizards can. So D&D was never going to feed the fantasies of practising magic in the real world. That is all about gaining secret knowledge, a higher level of perception or inflicting misfortune or a boon on someone rather than causing a poisonous cloud of vapor to pour from your fingers (Cloudkill, deadly to creatures with less than 5 hit dice, for those who are interested). The game, as we played it, just doesn't support the occult idea of magic.
In fact, it might even be argued that, by giving such a powerful prop to my imagination, D&D stopped me from going deeper into the occult in real life. I certainly had all the qualifications—bullied power-hungry twerp with no discernable skill in conventional fields and no immediate hope of a girlfriend who wasn't mentally ill. It's amazing I'm not out sacrificing goats to this day.”

For years, liberals cried that "law and order" and "welfare reform" were racist code words.”
“Weirdly, she felt just as said for the version of her who had never fallen in love with the simple beauty of Thoreau's Walden, or the stoical Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, as she had felt sympathy for the version of her who never fulfilled her Olympic potential.”

“Weißt du, die Erinnerung ist eine Bestie. Vermeintlich unbedeutende Ecken und Kanten schleift sie ab, als täte es niemandem weh, sie zu vernachlässigen. Stattdessen setzt sie unwillkürlich Akzente an angeblich besonderen Punkten. An den schönsten, ohnehin schon schillernden Stellen. Während die Ecken und Kanten, die der Erinnerung Tiefe geben, irgendwo zu Staub zerfallen.”

“Weißt du, die Leute lügen, wenn sie sagen, nichts sei so stark wie die Liebe. Das ist eine der größten und gemeinsten Lügen überhaupt. Liebe ist nicht stark. Sie ist so verletzlich wie nur irgendwas. Und wenn wir nicht achtgeben, dann zerbricht sie wie Glas."
"Aber du liebst ihn noch immer. Sogar heute noch."
"Und, hilft mir das weiter? Macht mich das stärker?" Sie schüttelte den Kopf. "Es tut nur weh, das ist alles. Es tut furchtbar weh, jeden Tag und jede Nacht. Es ist auch nicht wahr, dass die Zeit alle Wunden heilt. Sie macht es schlimmer. Die Zeit macht es immer nur noch schlimmer.”

“Weißt du, früher hatte ich voll die Schwierigkeiten mit dem steirischen Dialekt", murmle ich und betrachte jeden Millimeter seines Gesichts. "Zu Hause haben wir ja nur Urdu oder Punjabi gesprochen und im Fernsehen und im Unterricht sprachen alle immer hochdeutsch. Manchmal in Reality Shows mit diesem deutsch-deutschen Akzent halt. Aber Steirisch hörte ich nur von den anderen Kindern, die es wegen ihrer Eltern sprachen, und es gab echt viele Ausdrücke, die ich nicht verstand. Und da war dieses eine Mädchen, das sich immer darüber lustig gemacht hat, wenn ich nachfragte. Sie hat in der ganzen Klasse rumgeschrien, wie dumm es von mir war, dass ich es nicht besser wusste."
"Als ob man sich dafür entschuldigen müsste, dass man mehrsprachig aufwächst", murrt Tariq.

“Weißt du, was ich über die Liebe weiß, Sav? Sie ist grenzenlos. Du verliebst dich schließlich in einen Menschen und nicht in ein Geschlecht. Das ist im Allgemeinen doch wirklich nebensächlich, nicht wahr? Viel wichtiger ist es doch. was der Mensch in dir auslöst - was er dich fühlen lässt. Wenn du glücklich bist, dann scher dich nicht um anderer Meinung , hörst du? Und wenn es sich richtig anfühlt, dann ist es Liebe!”
