1. "We tell stories of other people's marriages, Detective Hastroll thought. We are experts in their parables and parabolas. Be can we tell the story of our own. If we could, Hastroll thought, there might be no murders. If we could, we might avoid our own cruelties and crimes."
Author: Adam Ross
2. "The riot had taken on a beauty of its own now. Arcs of gasoline fire under the crescent moon. Crimson tracer in mystical parabolas. Phosphorescence from the barrels of plastic bullet guns. A distant yelling like that of men below decks in a torpedoed prison ship. The scarlet whoosh of Molotovs intersecting with exacting surfaces. Helicopters everywhere: their spotlights finding one another like lovers in the Afterlife.And all this through a lens of oleaginous Belfast rain."
Author: Adrian McKinty
3. "The sea-lentils tied to giant serpentine string beans, sea-liquor brine, sea-lyme grass, sea-moss, sea-cucumbers. He never knew the sea had such a lavish garden—sea-plumes, sea-grapes, sea-lungs. […] The sky put on its own evanescent spectacles, a pivoting stage, fugitive curtains, decors for ballets, floating icebergs, unrolled bolts of chiffon, gold and pearl necklaces, marabous of oyster white, scarves of Indian saris, flying feathers, shorn lambs, geometric architecture in snows and cotton. His theater was the clouds, where no spectacle repeated itself."
Author: Anaïs Nin
4. "Popatrz jeno. Kosciól, karczma, bordel, a w srodku miedzy nimi kupa gówna. Oto parabola ludzkiego zywota."
Author: Andrzej Sapkowski
5. "Lo malo de estas cosas es que, hasta que el rabo no pasa, todo es toro."
Author: Arturo Pérez Reverte
6. "CAPTAIN RAMIREZ: "Ootunondumi rabo Caaguazu." FRANCISCO: "Bokinmaginum sinking." RAMIREZ: "Help."
Author: Ben Macintyre
7. "Ez az üres és kihalt lakás nem ismerte el ot, ezek a bútorok meg falak néma kritikával fürkészték.Csendjükbe hatolva úgy érezte magát, mint hivatlan vendég a víz alatti, elsüllyedt birodalomban, ahol más, külön idoszámítás van.Saját fiókjait nyitogatva betöronek érezte magát, és önkéntelenül lábujjhegyen járt, attól tartva, hogy felveri a zajos és szertelen visszhangot, mely ingerülten leste az alkalmat, hogy kitörhessen.És midon végre-valahára, nesztelenül surranva szekrénytol szekrényig, darabonként mindent megtalált, és befejezte öltözködését a bútorok közt, amelyek némán, idegenül turték meg ot, midon végre elkészült, és ott állt indulásra készen, kezében a kalappal, zavar fogta el, hogy az utolsó pillanatban sem talál rá a szóra, mely feloldotta volna ezt az ellenséges hallgatást, és lemondóan, lassan, lehorgasztott fejjel elindult az ajtóhoz — miközben az ellenkezo irányba — a tükör mélyébe — a nemlétezo szobák kihalt során — örökre hátat fordítva ráérosen távolodott valaki."
Author: Bruno Schulz
8. "Az alsónemuk – elsosorban a bugyi és a melltartó, de az alsószoknya, a harisnyafélék és az „alakformáló" ruhadarabok is – a noi lét speciális darabjai. A tuzoltók overalljának és sisakjának noi megfeleloi. Vagy a bohócok túlméretezett cipojének. A noiség „munkájához" kell. Technikai szempontból szükséges. Úgy értem, minden no más, de legtöbbször szükségünk van a melltartóra, hogy átvészeljünk egy-egy napot – foleg, ha futni kell a busz után, vagy kivágott ruha van rajtunk. Különben elo kell adni azt a musorszámot, amikor az ember a keblébe markolva üget – nehogy a melle olyan hevesen ugráljon, hogy a végén mintha körbe-körbe pörögne, mint egy sztriptíztáncosno pomponja, és akaratlanul is hipnotizálja az arra járókat. Velem már megesett. Elég rossz volt."
Author: Caitlin Moran
9. "I am a Prince," he replied, being rather dense. "It is the function of a Prince—value A—to kill monsters—value B—for the purpose of establishing order—value C—and maintaining a steady supply of maidens—value D. If one inserts the derivative of value A (Prince) into the equation y equals BC plus CD squared, and sets it equal to zero, giving the apex of the parabola, namely, the point of intersection between A (Prince) and B (Monster), one determines value E—a stable kingdom. It is all very complicated, and if you have a chart handy I can graph it for you."
Author: Catherynne M. Valente
10. "Good folk, I have no coin,To take were to purloin:I have no copper in my purse,I have no silver either,And all my gold is on the furzeThat shakes in windy weatherAbove the rusy heather."
Author: Christina Rossetti
11. "Just remember, Sergeant Grabowski. You may be able to order me around, but we both know who makes your privates stand at attention."
Author: Crystal Rose
12. "Nei miei sogni scorrevano fiumi e peccati, occhi sbarrati di volti sommersi. Mi risvegliai nel silenzio e nel gelo, sotto l'occhio accusatore dei riflettori ad arco. La città traboccava di persone in cerca dell'uomo o della donna in grado di salvarle. Puzzavo di sudore freddo, alcol e paura. Il loft mi sembrava sconfinato, un'immagine ripescata dal fondo sabbioso di un sogno."
Author: Don DeLillo
13. "Regrets are like molecules. We're all made up of a lot of them. They are elemental. Building blocks. The foundations of memory. You can dawdle in the past, allow it to shadow you, or you can walk forward into the light of tomorrow.But you can't altogether disregard what has already been- byways chosen, detours taken. The misbegotten decisions you can never reverse, but only by sorting through them can you find where you took the wrong turns and gain proper perspective. Time is a parabolic lens, bringing hindsight into focus."
Author: Ellen Hopkins
14. "Please, Lord Maccon, use one of the cups. My delicate sensibilities." The earl actually snorted. "My dear Miss Tarabotti, if you possessed any such things, you certainly have never shown them to me."
Author: Gail Carriger
15. "The Earl of Woolsey was indeed completely nude. He did not seem particularly perturbed by this fact, but Miss Tarabotti felt the sudden need to close her eyes tight and think about asparagus or something equally mundane. Coiled about him as she was, her chin wedged over one of his massive shoulders, she was being forced to look down, directly at a nicely round, but embarrassing bare, moon. And not the kind that caused werewolves to change either. Although it did seem to be changing aspects of her own anatomy that she would rather not think about. It was all a very heady - or bottomy? -experience."
Author: Gail Carriger
16. "La cena empezó con un surtido variado de pequeñas ostras sobre hielo con crema de limón. La señorita Tarabotti, que siempre había sido de la opinión que las ostras crudas se parecían considerablemente al excremento nasal, aparto el plato de ofensivos moluscos y observó, refugiada bajo sus largas pestañas como él consumía no menos de doce."
Author: Gail Carriger
17. "My dearest girl,' said the vampire finally, examining Lord Maccon with an exhausted but appreciative eye, 'such a banquet. Never been one to favor werewolves myself, but he is very well equipped, now, is he not?'Miss Tarabotti gave him an arch look. 'My goodies,' she warned.Humans,' chuckled the vampire, 'so possessive."
Author: Gail Carriger
18. "Miss Tarabotti was not one of life's milk-water misses--in fact, quite the opposite. Many a gentleman had likened his first meeting with her to downing a very strong cognac when one was expecting to imbibe fruit juice--that is to say, startling and apt to leave one with a distinct burning sensation."
Author: Gail Carriger
19. "Razum naj bi razširil zaznavanje, da bi vaša zaznavna moc in kompleksnost lahko rasli in ne škodovali. Izkušnje razuma so izkušnje znanja. Znanje je moc in za vsako raven znanja odgovarjate, kako ga uporabljate. Znanje, ki preprosto pride v vas in ga nekako ne predelate in uporabite v korist drugih, ima lahko še kako poguben ucinek na vaše telo. Karmicne obveznosti, ki jih ustvarjate z naklepno zlorabo z znanja, ce zavestno škodujete ali v drugih ustvarjate nasprotja, so vecje, kot ce to povzrocate nevede."
Author: Gary Zukav
20. "A Novilíngua diferia da maior parte das outras línguas porque o seu vocabulário ia diminuindo em vez de aumentar todos os anos. Cada redução era um ganho, pois quanto menor a área de escolha, menor a tentação de pensar. Como fim último, esperava-se atingir uma linguagem emitida pela laringe, sem passar pelos centros nervosos superiores. Objectivo esse, francamente admitido no termo de Novilíngua "patofalar", que significava "grasnar como um pato". (...) Desde que as opiniões grasnadas fossem ortodoxas, o termo era perfeitamente laudatório; quando o Times se referia a um dos oradores do Partido caracterizando-o como "duploextrabom patofalante" estava a fazer-lhe um elogio caloroso e extremamente apreciado."
Author: George Orwell
21. "Then they wondered if there were men in the stars. Why not? And as creation is harmonious, the inhabitants of Sirius ought to be huge, those of Mars middle-sized, those of Venus very small. Unless it is the same everywhere. There are businessmen, police up there; people trade, fight, dethrone their kings. Some shooting stars suddenly slid past, describing a course in the sky like the parabola of a monstrous rocket. ‘My Word,' said Bouvard, ‘look at those worlds disappearing.' Pecuchet replied: ‘If our world in its turn danced about, the citizens of the stars would be no more impressed than we are now. Ideas like that are rather humbling.' ‘What is the point of it all?' ‘Perhaps there isn't a point.' ‘Yet…' and Pecuchet repeated the word two or three times, without finding anything more to say."
Author: Gustave Flaubert
22. "The shots had dispersed the birds; there remained only two marabous, standing between ten and twenty paces away and plunged in reverie. They were like two old men with bald heads pressed between the shoulders."
Author: Henryk Sienkiewicz
23. "Yo voy, lobo estepario, trotandopor el mundo de nieve cubierto;del abedul sale un cuervo volando,y no cruzan ni liebres ni corzas el campo desierto.Me enamora una corza ligera,en el mundo no hay nada tan lindo y hermoso;con mis dientes y zarpas de fieradestrozara su cuerpo sabroso.Y volviera mi afán a mi amada,en sus muslos mordiendo la carne blanquísimay saciando mi sed en su sangre por mí derramada,para aullar luego solo en la noche tristísima.Una liebre bastara también a mi anhelo;dulce sabe su carne en la noche callada y oscura.¡Ay! ¿Por qué me abandona en letal desconsuelode la vida la parte más noble y más pura?Vetas grises adquiere mi rabo peludo;voy perdiendo la vista, me atacan las fiebres;hace tiempo que ya estoy sin hogar y viudoy que troto y que sueño con corzas y liebresque mi triste destino me ahuyenta y espanta.Oigo al aire soplar en la noche de invierno,hundo en nieve mi ardiente garganta,y así voy llevando mi mísera alma al infierno."
Author: Hermann Hesse
24. "Cassidy's heart tried to leap out through his taught skin and hop into his wet hands. But outwardly it was all very calm, very serene, just as always, and it seemed to last a tiny forever, just like that, a snapshot of them all on the curved parabola of a starting line, eight giant hearts attached to eight pairs of bellows-like lungs mounted on eight pairs of supercharged stilts. They were poised on the edge of some howling vortex they had run 10,000 miles to get to. Now they had to run one more"
Author: John L. Parker Jr.
25. "Ao contrário do que em geral se pensa, tomar uma decisão é uma das decisões mais fáceis deste mundo, como cabalmente se demonstra pelo facto de não fazermos masi nada que multiplicá-las ao longo de todo o santíssimo dia, porém, e aí esbarramos com o busílis da questão, elas sempre nos vêm a posteriori com os seus problemazinhos particulares, ou, para que fiquemos a entender-nos, com os seus rabos por esfolar, sendo o primeiro deles o nosso grau de capacidade para mantê-las e o segundo o nosso grau de vontade para realizá-las."
Author: José Saramago
26. "Las propias palabras, que no son cosas, que sólo las designan lo mejor que pueden, y designándolas las modelan, incluso las que sirvieron de manera ejemplar, suponiendo que tal pudiera suceder en alguna ocasión, son millones de veces usadas y otras tantas desechadas, y después nosotros, humildes, con el rabo entre las piernas, como el perro Encontrado cuando la vergüenza lo encoge, tenemos que ir a buscarlas nuevamente, barro pisado que también ellas son, amasado y masticado, deglutido y restituido."
Author: José Saramago
27. "I had made her so unhappy that she had developed a sense of humor. [-Rabo Karabekian]"
Author: Kurt Vonnegut
28. "Oh happy Meat. Oh happy Soul. Oh happy Rabo Karabekian."
Author: Kurt Vonnegut
29. "Rabo Karabekian: I'm in the middle of a sentence.Circe Berman: Who isn't?."
Author: Kurt Vonnegut
30. "And what is literature, Rabo," he said, "but an insider's newsletter about affairs relating to molecules, of no importance to anything in the universe but a few molecules who have the disease called 'thought'."
Author: Kurt Vonnegut
31. "I've got quite a big gay following. I played a lesbian prostitute in the TV series 'Band Of Gold' but I think my following really grew when I played one in the film 'Imagine Me & You,' with Piper Perabo."
Author: Lena Headey
32. "And there in the middle, high above Prechistensky Boulevard, amidst a scattering of stars on every side but catching the eye through its closeness to the earth, its pure white light and the long uplift of its tail, shone the comet, the huge, brilliant comet of 1812, that popular harbinger of untold horrors and the end of the world. But this bright comet with its long, shiny tail held no fears for Pierre. Quite the reverse: Pierre's eyes glittered with tears of rapture as he gazed up at this radiant star, which must have traced its parabola through infinite space at speeds unimaginable and now suddenly seemed to have picked its spot in the black sky and impaled itself like an arrow piercing the earth, and stuck there, with its strong upthrusting tail and its brilliant display of whiteness amidst the infinity of scintillating stars. This heavenly body seemed perfectly attuned to Pierre's newly melted heart, as it gathered reassurance and blossomed into new life."
Author: Leo Tolstoy
33. "Adan necesitó a alguien, sin duda. Jamais habría tenido el coraje de comerse esa manzana él solito. Eva tendría que habérsela comido sin decirle nada e dejarlo andar errante como un asno por el Edén, un bruto ignorante idéntico a los otros brutos que lo rodeaban. el muy idiota ni siquera sabía que estaba desnudo. Y quem diablos cosió esos taparraboos de hojas de figuera, te pregunto? Él no habrá sido, de eso puede estar seguro."
Author: Loretta Chase
34. "Na jawie snisz z otwartymi oczamiCo dzieje sie miedzy nami ze nie poznalemTego kraju co otwiera ci bramyI dokad nigdy wizy nie dostalemCi przez których przeszla muzyka Zdaja sie lasu galezia co drzyUginajaca sie pod ptakamiAle tyCi których wzrok sie sklada z nieprzeliczonych szlifów liczbyCi którzy zongluja funkcjami mgly Ci których paraboliczny umysl blyska jak lustroHipoteza to ich papieros skreconyAle tyTy milczysz z dlonia przy skroniI nie smiem zapytac cie o nic"
Author: Louis Aragon
35. "My father was an electrical contractor, while I used to deliver video cassettes on a cycle to people in Juhu and Bandra, including celebrities like Mithun Chakraborty. Mithunda remembers me and is very proud of me. He can't believe that the guy who used to come to his house in short pants has become so successful."
Author: Madhur Bhandarkar
36. "Lovely and unremarkable, the clutterof mugs and books, the almost-empty FigNewtons box, thick dishes in a bigtin tray, the knife still standing in the butter,change like the color of river waterin the delicate shift to day. Thin fogveils the hedges, where a neighbor dogmakes rounds. 'Go to bed. It doesn't matterabout the washing-up. Take this book along.'Whatever it was we said that night is gone,framed like a photograph nobody took.Stretched out on a camp cot with the book,I think that we will talk all night again,there, or another where, but I am wrong."
Author: Marilyn Hacker
37. "Don't look down,' Perabo warned them when they almost reached the top and the view from the archways became imposing. Froi sensed Perabo was instructing himself more than the others.‘You obviously haven't been imprisoned on the roof of a castle in the Citavita, Perabo,' Lirah said.‘Or hung upside down over a balconette staring down into the gravina, waiting to die,' Gargarin added.‘Nothing worse than being chained to the balconette with your head facing down over that abyss,' Arjuro joined in, not one to be outdone in the misery stakes.‘Try balancing on a piece of granite between the godshouse and the palace with nothing beneath you but air,' Froi said.Perabo stopped and took a deep breath and looked as if he was going to be sick.‘Don't look down, Perabo,' Froi advised."
Author: Melina Marchetta
38. "As an artist, you don't think about the parabola or the arc you're describing or where you're going to ultimately end up, you're just kind of crawling around, seeing what's out there."
Author: Michael Nesmith
39. "A gyerekkorom nem hiányzik, de az igen, ahogyan örömömet leltem a kis dolgokban, még akkor is, amikor a nagyobb dolgok összeomlottak körülöttem. Nem tudtam irányítani a világot, amiben voltam, nem tudtam otthagyni fájdalmas dolgokat, embereket vagy pillanatokat, de örömömet leltem kis dolgokban, boldoggá tettek. A tejsodó édes és krémes volt a számban, a sötét gyümölcsdarabok a vastag, rágós pudingban jellegzetes ízuek, és talán meghalok még éjjel, talán soha nem kerülök haza, de finom vacsora volt, és hittem Lettie Hempstockban."
Author: Neil Gaiman
40. "Pour parler clairement et sans paraboles,Nous sommes les pièces du jeu que joue le Ciel;On s'amuse avec nous sur l'échiquier de l'être,Et puis nous retournons, un par un, dans laboîte du Néant."
Author: Omar Khayyam
41. "All travel is circular. I had been jerked through Asia, making a parabola on one of the planet's hemispheres. After all, the grand tour is just the inspired man's way of heading home."
Author: Paul Theroux
42. "When we are young, we spend much time and pains in filling our note-books with all definitions of Religion, Love, Poetry, Politics, Art, in the hope that, in the course of a few years, we shall have condensed into our encyclopaedia the net value of all the theories at which the world has yet arrived. But year after year our tables get no completeness, and at last we discover that our curve is a parabola, whose arcs will never meet."
Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson
43. "Non possiamo dire in quale preciso momento nasca l'amicizia. Come nel riempire una caraffa a goccia a goccia, c'è finalmente una stilla che la fa traboccare, così in una sequela di atti gentili ce n'è infine uno che fa traboccare il cuore."
Author: Ray Bradbury
44. "With Jesus, however, the device of parabolic utterance is used not to explain things to people's satisfaction but to call attention to the unsatisfactoriness of all their previous explanations and understandings."
Author: Robert Farrar Capon
45. "Tau nepatinka, kad jie [filosofai] per daug nekonkretus? Noretum, kad aiškiau formuluotu minti, kad butu mažiau metaforu, palyginimu ir paraboliu, o daugiau tiesos, grynumo, nepagražinto, atviro, skambaus, iki skausmo teisingo žodžio? Jie negali taip kalbeti. Jie negali kalbeti konkreciai. Jeigu jie kalbetu kaip fizikai ar matematikai, tai jau butu ne pranašystes, ne biblines ar filosofines amžinosios tiesos, tai butu instrukcijos. Tai butu saugumieciu instrukcijos kaip žudyt žmones. Visi diktatoriai griebdavosi tokiu instrukciju, bet ju esme - kulka i pakauši."
Author: Sigitas Parulskis
46. "CHANGE: Don't just talk about it, go out there and do it. Don't just meditate about it, go out there and create it. Don't just pray about it go out there and take action; participate in the answering of your own prayer. If you want change, get out there and live it. - Steve Maraboli"
Author: Steve Maraboli
47. "That's why it's always worth having a few philosophers around the place. One minute it's all is truth beauty and is beauty truth, and does a falling tree in the forest make a sound if there's no one there to hear it, and then just when you think they're going to start dribbling one of 'em says, incidentally, putting a thirty-foot parabolic reflector on a high place to shoot the rays of the sun at an enemy's ships would be a very interesting demonstration of optical principles."
Author: Terry Pratchett
48. "But it is a curve each of them feels, unmistakably. It is the parabola. They must have guessed, once or twice -- guessed and refused to believe -- that everything, always, collectively, had been moving toward that purified shape latent in the sky, that shape of no surprise, no second chance, no return. Yet they do move forever under it, reserved for its own black-and-white bad news certainly as if it were the rainbow, and they its children. . . ."
Author: Thomas Pynchon
49. "Christ, how did you ever get this screwed up! his mind demanded ofhim. He knew the answer, but even that was not a full explanation.Different segments of the organism called John Terrance Kelly knewdifferent parts of the whole story,but somehow they'd never all come together, leaving the separatefragments of what had ...once been a tough, smart, decisive and to blunderabout in confusion - and despair! There was a happy thought."
Author: Tom Clancy
50. "What the present day greeders don't understand... is that your character, lack of integrity, low morals, no ethics and devious actions are being RECORED indelibly for the global public to view for next few hundred years...on the internet TATOO!.Your childrens', childrens', childrens' childrens' childrens' childrens' childrens - will read on the web of your low-intelligence, devious thievery, corruption, and inept leadership.. And they will cry with shame... because their ancestors seemed to behave no better than greedy Graboons.We need to Rethink leadership"

Today's Quote

FebruaryBoris PasternakIt's February. Get ink. Weep.Write the heart out about it, singAnother song of FebruaryWhile raucous slush burns black with spring.Six grivnas* for a buggy ridePast booming bells, on screaming gears,Out to a place where drizzles fallLouder than any ink or tearsWhere like a flock of charcoal pears,A thousand blackbirds, ripped awryFrom trees to puddles, knock dry griefInto the deep end of the eye.A thaw patch blackens underfoot.The wind is gutted with a scream.True verses are the most haphazard,Rhyming the heart out on a theme.*Grivna: a unit of currency."
