Kush Quotes

1. "When you have a child, you start to dream of how this kid will grow up and make you proud. The only thing you can predict with 100% certainty is that the reality will diverge somehow from that dream. Some of our children will disappoint us by not being the scholars we hoped they would be. Some children will disappoint us by not being the athletes we hoped they would be. Some will disappoint us by coming out and telling us they are gay and they won't give us grandchildren...the real question is not, what book can I read, what technique can I use to raise a perfect child? The real question is how will you handle that gap between the child you dreamt of having and the real child growing up in your home...What I have learned is that any religion, if you do it wrong, will leave people feeling condemned and dismissed and unworthy and any religion, if you do it right, will leave people feeling cleansed and firmed. (118) Rabbi Harold Kushner"
Author: Carol Lynn Pearson

2. "Zemër", i thash, "Unë jam një gjeni por askush nuk e di këtë, përpos unë."
Author: Charles Bukowski

3. "Gjuha është një putanë, me të cilën kushdo mund të abuzojë si të ketë dëshirë."
Author: Christine Grän

4. "We are your shadow uncles, your angel godfathers, your mother's or your grandmother's best friend from college, the author of that book you found in the gay section of the library. We are characters in a Tony Kushner play, or names on a quilt that rarely gets taken out anymore. We are the ghosts of the remaining older generation. You know some of our songs. We do not want to haunt you too somberly. We don't want our legacy to be gravitas. You wouldn't want to live your life like that, and you won't want to be remembered like that, either. Your mistake would be to find our commonality in our dying. The living part mattered more. We taught you how to dance."
Author: David Levithan

5. "Meditate but one hour upon the self's nonexistence and you will feel yourself to be another man," said a priest of the Japanese Kusha sect to a Western visitor. Without having frequented the Buddhist monasteries, how many times have I not lingered over the world's unreality, and hence my own? I have not become another man for that, no, but there certainly has remained with me the feeling that my identity is entirely illusory, and that by losing it I have lost nothing, except something, except everything."
Author: Emil Cioran

6. "Kipo kitu kinaendelea kufanyika katika siku zetu za furaha na katika siku zetu za huzuni kwa kila mmojawetu hapa duniani bila ya upendeleo wowote. Kitu hicho ni kuingia na kutoka kwa pumzi, au kupumua. Ukiithamini pumzi inayoingia na kutoka ndani ya mwili wako utapata zawadi ya amani katika maisha yako. Utapata pia zawadi ya furaha, uelewa na ufasaha! Ijapokuwa una matatizo mengi katika maisha, kitu bora cha kufanya ni kushukuru Mungu kwa maana wewe ni mzima."
Author: Enock Maregesi

7. "Kushirikiana na maadui wa nchi yetu ni hatia ya kosa la uhaini. Adhabu yake ni kifo, au kifungo cha maisha."
Author: Enock Maregesi

8. "Kushukuru wakati wa matatizo ni kafara ya maombi."
Author: Enock Maregesi

9. "Kitu cha kwanza kufanyika mwanadamu anapozaliwa ni kuvuta pumzi ya kwanza katika mapafu ya mwili wake. Cha mwisho kufanyika kabla ya kufa ni kutoa pumzi ya mwisho katika mapafu ya mwili wake. Pumzi iliyoingia kwanza baada ya kuzaliwa, itakuwa ya mwisho kutoka kabla ya kufa. Pumzi ni bora kuliko muda halafu pumzi ni uhai. Bila uhai watu hawataweza kusherehekea mwaka mpya au kufanya chochote. Likumbuke jina la Mwenyezi Mungu katika kila pumzi unayoingiza na kutoa."
Author: Enock Maregesi

10. "Usitegemee malaika ashuke kutoka mbinguni kuja kukutatulia shida zilizokushinda kwa uzembe. Malaika ni wewe mwenyewe. Ukifanya unachoweza kufanya, Mungu atafanya usichoweza kufanya."
Author: Enock Maregesi

11. "I lumturi eshte nje manekin i ndjenjes se jetes. Ai i ben vetem paraden e modes, por nuk e zoteron. Drita nuk shkelqen ne drite; ajo shkelqen ne erresire. Gezuar per erresiren! Kush ka ndenjur nje here ne mes te shtrengates, atij s'i hyn me ne pune nje makine e vogel elektrizimi. Mallkuar qofte shtrengata! Bekuar qofte kjo cikez jete qe kemi! Dhe sepse e dashurojme, s'duam ta japim me kamate! Duam ta shkaterrojme! Pini, djema! Ka yje qe ndricojne cdo nate, megjithese kane plasur para dhjete mije vjetesh drite! Pini, sa eshte koha!"
Author: Erich Maria Remarque

12. "Unë dua të jetoj, dhe jetoj qoftë edhe në kundërshtim me logjikën e gjërave. Le të mos kem fort besim në rregullat e pranuara nga të gjithë, por më pëlqejnë gjethet e sapoçelura, e dua qiellin e kaltër; ndodh të më pëlqejë dikush pa ndonjë shkak. Më pëlqen heroizmi i njerëzve, tek i cili mbase nuk beson më prej kohësh."
Author: Fyodor Dostoyevsky

13. "Jam njeri i semure... Jam edhe tip keqdashesi. Nuk bej pjese, nderkohe, ne simpatiket. Me duket se vuaj nga melçia, ndonese vete une gje prej gjeje nuk kuptoj nga semundjet, as qe e di me saktesi ç'me dhemb. Nuk kurohem e as jam kuruar ndonjehere, pavaresisht nga respekti qe kam per mjekesine (se i shkolluar une jam, por edhe bestyd jam). Me ka hipur ne kole, nuk dua te kurohem nga inati. Ju kete kushedi as edhe e kuptoni, kurse une e kuptoj, ndonese s'jam ne gjendje t'ua shpjegoj se kujt i bej dem me kete inat timin. E di fort mire, qe as mjekeve e askujt tjeter nuk i behet vone qe jam tip inatçori, e as vete per veten nuk e çaj koken, ndonese fort mire e di qe inati eshte dem i kokes. Ngado qe ta sjellesh e kam mbushur mendjen, e kam bere top: nuk dua qe nuk dua te kurohem. Me dhemb kjo e shkrete melçi, le te dhembe, nuk paska plasur!"
Author: Fyodor Dostoyevsky

14. "O prapësi jetë! O natyrë njerëzore! Njeriu në botë bën jetë vetmitari, nga kjo i vjen e keqja! "A ka njeri të gjallë në stepë?" - thërret kreshniku rus. Edhe unë pas tij kështu ulërij, ndonëse kreshnik nuk jam, por askush nuk më përgjigjet. Thonë se dielli është ai që i jep jetë gjithësisë. Do të lindë dielli, kthejani sytë, shiheni mirë, ka pamje kufome! Gjithçka e vdekur është, ngado që të hedhësh sytë, vetëm kufoma sheh! Të tillë janë njerëzit, të rrethuar nga heshtja rrojnë! Kjo është toka! "Njerëz, duheni njeri-tjetrin!" - e kush e tha këtë? Ç'zë qenka ky që thirritka?Dëgjohet shpërfilles tiktaku i orës, të ndjell krupën! Ora është dy pas mesnate. Këpucët e saj janë te krevati, duken sikur e presin... Vërtet, ç'do të bëhet me mua, pasi ta marrin që këtu dhe ta varrosin?"
Author: Fyodor Dostoyevsky

15. "Në rruget e tjera dëgjoheshin aty-këtu britma fatkëqijsh, që i zvarrisnin për flokësh, per t'i çuar në Degë. Fajësoheshin se gjatë mitingut të përmortshëm, në vend që të qanin a, së paku, të psherëtinin, kishin qeshur e, ndonëse ata bënin be e rrufe se s'kishin qeshur aspak e, përkundrazi, kishin qenë të vrarë në shpirt si të gjithë, por që as vet s'e dinin pse, e qara befas u qe kthyer në ngërdheshje, madje, shtonin se s'ishte hera e parë që u ndodhte kjo, askush nuk i besonte e, në vend t'i dëgjonin, i godisnin më fort."
Author: Ismail Kadaré

16. "And Kushiel sends no punishment that we are not fit to bear."
Author: Jacqueline Carey

17. "At least I never voted Republican. -Tony Kushner"
Author: Larry Smith

18. "No importa cuánto nos esforcemos en contar. La memoria tiene infinitas puertas y por eso nunca estará completa. Es solo dar cuenta de algo para que se abran cien vacíos, cien preguntas. ¿Qué ocurrió con Muesca-Cinco, el hijo más débil del guerrero? ¿Y cómo continuó la resistencia en las Tierras Antiguas? ¿Nacieron nuevos Brujos de la Tierra? ¿Cómo nació el sagrado juego del yocoy?¿Por cuál de los dos ríos de su sangre se inclinó Yocoya-Tzin, heredero del trono del País del Sol?¿Y la Destrenzada? ¿Y antes? ¿Y el Brujo Halcón en su metamorfosis? La Sombra y Vieja Kush están sentadas a la vera del tiempo, enhebrando un collar sin sentido. Cien respuestas para que se abran cien nuevos vacíos, cien nuevas preguntas. Los relatos son el modo más humano del tiempo. Y solo narrando, de tarde en tarde, de boca en boca, nos hacemos eternos."
Author: Liliana Bodoc

19. "Ven, Wilkilén, siéntate a mi lado... Voy a contarte de una que a partir de esta noche será mi hermana y compañera eterna. No te asustes cuando escuches su nombre ni la culpes por hacer lo necesario. ¿Conoces a alguien a quien le agrade comer manzanas que pendan años y años de los árboles? Tampoco lo conozco yo. Y, dime, ¿cómo nacerían manzanas nuevas si las que ya cumplieron con lo suyo no dejaran sitio en las ramas? ¿Quién le enseñaría a quién? La hermana muerte carga con una tarea que todos comprendes pero pocos perdonan. Sin ella, los hombres no mirarían al cielo en las noches claras. Tampoco cantarían. Sin ella no existirían el suspiro ni el deseo. Sin ella nadie en este mundo se ocuparía de ser feliz. —Vieja Kush."
Author: Liliana Bodoc

20. "And if the liberal media and political community cannot accept that sometimes the wrong people get killed in war, then I can only suggest they first grow up and then serve a short stint up in the Hindu Kush."
Author: Marcus Luttrell

21. "The summer night sky over the Hindu Kush, domed by the Milky Way's mage light, was infinitely splendid. Strewn against this craggy luminosity, millions of tiny stars shone, a diamond heist gone awry."
Author: Sherry Thomas

22. "I love so many books and authors that it's hard to name just a few, but I'm always particularly excited when new books by Alice Hoffman, John Crowley, Joanne Harris, Elizabeth Knox, and Patricia McKillip come out. (And, of course, books by Ellen [Kushner], and Holly [Black], and the rest of the Bordertown crew!) I'm impatiently looking forward to Susanna Clarke's next book too.Aside from writing and reading, my favorite things to do are paint, walk in the countryside with my dog, and listen to music -- especially when it's live and it's played by friends. Fortunately there's a lot of live music where I live."
Author: Terri Windling

23. "Trying every day to tell the truth is hard. There are harder things, of course—arguably, living with lies and meaninglessness, living in despair is harder, but it's hardship disguised as luxury and easier perhaps to grow accustomed to, since truth is usually the enemy of custom. There are harder things than writing, being President Obama, for instance, and having to deal with House Republicans, or trying to fix the leak at the Fukushima reactor, these are harder, but writing is hard."
Author: Tony Kushner

24. "I hope to attend it as Japan needs to tell the world the lessons, knowledge and reflections learned from the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant."
Author: Yoshihiko Noda
