“Yet, sluggard, wake, and gull thy soul no more With earth's false pleasures, and the world's delight, Whose fruit is fair and pleasing to the sight, But sour in taste, false as the putrid core: Thy flaring glass is gems at her half light; She makes thee seeming rich, but truly poor: She boasts a kernel, and bestows a shell; Performs an inch of her fair-promis'd ell: Her words protest a heav'n; her works produce a hell.”

“Yet, when these facts are seen side by side with other facts in the case, it is difficult not to become lost in superstitious awe. Their very absurdity seems to prohibit the use of the words 'chance' and 'coincidence.'

“Yetişkin olmak için içimizdeki çocuğu öldürmek zorundayız. Ama bunu yapmanın yolu, onu ve masumiyetini kirletmek değil. Aksine, izin istemeli ve hazır olduğu zamanı beklemeliyiz. Diğer türlü kirlenmiş ve onu kirlettiğimiz için bize öfkesinden kuduran, bunun bedelini bize ödetmek ve hesap sormak için zincirlerimizi asla bırakmayacak bir çocuğu içimizde taşımak ve onun kölesi olmak zorunda kalırız.”

“Yeşil Gözler (Balkan Şiir)
Bazen Kara Sevda'da yaşıyormuşum gibi geliyor,
Pernik'teki o yeşil gözler Nihan'a benziyor.
Beş yılı birlikte geçirdikten sonra karar verdin,
ben sana layık değildim, çünkü henüz yoktu para.
Yaraları bir kenara bırakıp mücadeleye devam ettim,
Bugün sen bana layık değilsin, diyorum ben sana.
Sana en çok ihtiyacım olduğu anda sen vazgeçtin,
Ama yine de bu gerçek aşık sana beddua etmiyo.
Sevgili değil artık, insan olarak destek olacağım,
Kendine iyi bak - kiminle olursan ol mutlu ol!
Dünyadaki bütün aşıklara diyorum,
eğer seviyorsan kendini kaybederek sev.
Binlerce kez ihanete uğra, ayıp değil,
ama asla kimseye beddua etme.”

“Yeşilçam'ın 'sinemacılar' dönemi (50-60 arası) için, Türk Sinemasının ümmi dönemi de denebilir. ... Türk sinemasının ümmi dönemi hep sanatsal yönden, içerdiği seviyesizlik açısından ele alınmış, o döneme has büyük tevazu ve samimiyetin, ileriye dönük, sahici bir özün gelişmesi bakımından taşıdığı büyük potansiyel değer görmezlikten gelinmiştir. Yeşilçam'ın ümmi dönemindeki sanatsız sahiciliğin kendine has folklorik ve popüler bir şiiriyeti olduğu rahatça öne sürülebilir. O sahicilik ki, bu günün 'sanatsal' iddialar taşıyan Türk sinemasında gün geçtikçe daha aranır hale geliyor.”

“Christianity – A Modest Defense”
Can trusting other races to treat us fairly as we slip into minority status be a smart strategy for individual Whites?
The typical White professional believes that it is only the bottom 20% of Whites who are hurt by "diversity" efforts, affirmative action and quotas. They think that they and their children will never be impacted. They fail to grasp that diversity is about power and control. Power does not flow from entry level jobs. The racial extortion coalition that firmly controls our media and national government is quite comfortable with the idea of Whites serving as infantry riflemen, police, trash haulers, security guards, prostitutes and fashion models. It is the sight of White males in top positions in the Fortune 500 which enrages them.”

“Yhtä asiaa Antti toivoi eniten: että hänellä olisi tyttöystävä. Joillakin sellainen kuulemma jo oli, ainakin jos välituntipuheita oli uskominen. Villeimpien huhujen mukaan jotkut olisivat seurustelleet yli kaksi viikkoa. Sellaista ei Antti voinut käsittää. Se oli yhtä uskomatonta kuin se, että aikuiset kävivät töissä joka päivä, aamusta iltaan, niin että lopulta heillä oli varaa ostaa oma talo, lämmin koti, jossa oli siisti keittiö ja valkoiset lattialaatat ja seinän kokoinen taulutelevisio ja kaapit täynnä ruokaa ja puhtaita astioita.”

“Yiddish for gall, nerve, arrogance-whatever”
Source: The Immigrants
“Yiddish has a down-to-earth quality that makes it remote from high-flown rhetoric, and it has a catch-as-catch-can charm derived from its stunning variety-of syntax, spelling, pronunciation, and vocabulary-from region to region.”
“Yiddish is the voice of exile, the tongue of ghettos, but I'll shed a tear when it joins ancient Greek and dead Latin. For gossip and insult, you can't beat Yiddish.”
Source: Cold Case
“Yiddish, the language which will ever bear witness to the violence and murder inflicted on us, bear the marks of our expulsions from land to land, the language which absorbed the wails of the fathers, the laments of the generations, the poison and bitterness of history, the language whose precious jewels are the undried, uncongealed Jewish tears.”
“Yield all and trust all.”
“Yield, and I'll eat your little pussy... first.”
Source: Hidden Ecstasy
“Yield and overcome; Bend and be straight; Empty and be full; Wear out and be new; Have little and gain; Have much and be confused. ...The ancients say, "Yield and overcome." Is that an empty saying? Be really whole, And all things will come to you.”

“Yield not thy neck
To fortune's yoke, but let thy dauntless mind
Still ride in triumph over all mischance.
In the difficult are the friendly forces, the hands
that work on us.”
“Yield not thy neck To fortunes yoke, but let thy dauntless mind Still ride in triumph over all mischance.”
