“Yup, we'll start driving these ill-tempered, longhorn cattle through wild and desolate country. There's coyotes and rattle snakes. There's the blistering sun, blinding dust storms, and wild rivers to cross. Then sometimes, just sometimes, there's a double-crossing, thieving cowboy riding right along beside you. And you don't know it until it's too late.”

“Yurik's room became their love nest. And a messier room the world had never seen. It was a jumble of dirty socks strewn about the floor, sheet music, CDs, cigarette butts, paper plates, and half-filled cans of Coke. An old Hammond organ, left behind by former tenants, stood in the hallway, blocking half the entrance and leaving only a narrow space to squeeze through. This was the room where the young couple broadened their knowledge of the world, from time to time ingesting substances that took them to other places and realities. But when Laura finished high school, and showed her parents the report card with grades that would never get her admitted into a decent college, she announced to Yurik that he had no prospects, and danced off forever. After leaving Yurik and giving him his first broken heart, she went to California. Then she flew off to the places where fearless and brainless enthusiasts of dangerous journeys fly to.”

“Yuriko a Japanese student who left Japan in search of a dream, new skills, improved English and a new qualification to start a new career.

“Yusufu alikuwa hohehahe kabla na baada ya kuuzwa na nduguze kama mtumwa nchini Misri. Hakuwa na pesa, hakuwa na elimu, hakujuana na viongozi wa serikali. Lakini kwa vile alikuwa na Mungu, Mungu alimbariki mpaka watu wote wakashangaa. Yusufu alikuwa maskini ili mimi na wewe tuwe na tumaini leo, kwamba tukiwa na Mungu katika maisha yetu hatutatafuta utajiri. Utajiri ndiyo utakaotutafuta sisi.”

“Yves Klein said it was the essence of colour itself: the colour that stood for all other colours. A man once spent his entire life searching for a particular shade of blue that he remembered encountering in childhood. He began to despair of ever finding it, thinking he must have imagined that precise shade, that it could not possibly exist in nature. Then one day he chanced upon it. It was the colour of a beetle in a museum of natural history. He wept for joy.’ - "Zima Blue" by Alastair Reynolds”

“Yves Saint Laurent gave women power, Chanel liberated them and when I joined Lanvin, I thought 'what do I bring to women? One day, I received an SMS from a friend in New York - she was in a taxi on the way to court to face her arsehole ex-husband, and she said to me 'Alber, I am wearing a Lanvin dress, and I feel so protected.' That to me was the biggest compliment I ever received. To have a 500 gram piece of silk make her feel protected - that made me very happy indeed.”

“Yvonnel shook her head, not sure if this creature before her was diabolical or rational at that moment. “It did not matter,” the avatar said to her. “Do you not understand? Your actions? The ‘truths’ you learned? They did not matter.” “Then what does matter?” “My pleasure. My chaos. My power. Me. Just me.” “Then what future?” “Who cares?” The avatar laughed at her, and it was sincere, she knew. “You care enough to bless the matrons,” she said. “Do I?” “You care enough to start wars—in the Silver Marches, in Gauntlgrym, in your own City of Spiders!” “The ultimate chaos. War.”

“Yêu không phải là thương. Yêu là còn đong đếm, tính toán, ràng buộc, chiếm hữu, là muốn phải thế này thế kia. Còn thương thì dịu dàng lắm. Thương như là không khí vậy, hoặc là nước lọc, chỉ tồn tại một cách lặng im nhưng không bao giờ biến đổi, quen thuộc tới nỗi đôi lúc con người quên rằng phải có không khí thì họ mới hít thở được, phải có nước lọc thì họ mới không bị kiệt sức. Thương nhau để đó, không phải dành cho những người ích kỉ tham lam. Không phải dành cho người muốn giữ người khác bên cạnh để làm phao cứu sinh hoặc khi cần thì sẽ gặp. Đó là tình cảm cao quý và bao dung nhất. Là thứ tình yêu mà dù có đau đớn đến mấy, ta vẫn yên lòng mỉm cười ngắm nhìn người ta thương có một cuộc sống an lành và hạnh phúc, dù hạnh phúc đó không dành cho ta.”

“Yö oli erittäin kaunis. Näkyi tähteä ja kuuta. Ilman henki oli lämmin. Mistä kaukaa lie tullutkaan, joka tapauksessa kaakosta päin kävi tuuli. Ja vesi liplatti ja kaislikko kahisi ja yön linnut ääntelivät. Syysyön tuoksut olivat rehevät. Luonto oli kesän mittaan kasvattanut monen moista mäskiä, joka nyt odotti lakastumistaan ja märkänemistään.”

“Yürümek bile ne kadar zor, yaşamak ne kadar iğreti bir eylem, gelecek nasıl korkunç ve geçmiş neden üzerimize atlayıp hareket etmemizi zorlaştıran bir karabasan gibi… Kırık bir vazoyum sanki ne bir güzelliğe ne de bir işleve sahibim. Kendime dahi yabancılaşmışım bunca zaman. Neden ve niçinler ile geçen insan yaşamı, kaygı üretip duran zihin ve acı pompalayan kalpler… İşte şehir meydanları, her yer gardı düşmüş ağır yaralı yenik savaşçılarla dolu. Var oluşu sürdürmek en büyük günah ve dünya bu günahın cehennemiymiş meğer… Bu zamana kadar sevdiklerimden kaçtım ve kaçarak onları kaybettim. Artık tekrar aynı hataya düşmemeliyim. Mademki cehennemdeyim ve buradan kurtulmayı diliyorum ama kurtulamıyorum; o zaman içinde bulunduğum cehennemi, dostum Mert ile birlikte, kendi zevklerime göre yeniden inşa etmeliyim…”
