An Quotes

“I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“People are going to think I'm morbid, loving all these sad books. I actually don't mind a happy ending in a novel—certainly, it's nice when it happens. But when you've invested so much time and your fingers have pushed through all that paper and you get to the end…well, a tragic ending kind of goes with the tragedy of finishing a book.”
― Julia Roberts on Thomas Hardy's "An Imaginative Woman"

“19. Those who are the happiest are not necessarily those for whom life has been easiest. Emotional stability results from an attitude. It is refusing to yield to depression and fear, even when black clouds float overhead. It is improving that which can be improved and accepting that which is inevitable.”
― James C. Dobson, Life on the Edge: The Next Generation's Guide to a Meaningful Future

“34. Sexual contact between a boy and a girl is a progressive thing. In other words, the amount of touching and caressing and kissing that occurs in the early days tends to increase as they become more familiar and at ease with one another. Likewise, the amount of contact necessary to excite one another increases day by day, leading in many cases to an ultimate act of sin and its inevitable consequence. This progression must be consciously resisted by Christian young people who want to serve God and live by His standards. They can resist this trend by placing deliberate controls on the physical aspect of their relationship, right from the first date.”
― James C. Dobson, Life on the Edge: The Next Generation's Guide to a Meaningful Future

“He puts us here to make an eternal difference.
He puts us here to show everyone around us how much He loves them.
He puts us here to be His hands and feet, His body and His heart.”
― Craig Groeschel, Weird: Because Normal Isn't Working

“18. Your life is before you. Be careful of the choices you make now that you could regret later. This regret is the subject of an old poem whose author has been forgotten. I hope you’ll never have reason to apply it to yourself.

Across the fields of yesterday,
He sometimes comes to me
A little lad just back from play—
The boy I used to be.
He looks at me so wistfully
When once he’s crept within;
It is as if he hoped to see
The man I might have been.”
― James C. Dobson, Life on the Edge: The Next Generation's Guide to a Meaningful Future

“He is the God who loved you so much that His Son stripped Himself of all heavenly glory to live as an impoverished Jewish carpenter so He could shed His blood, suffer, and die for the forgiveness of our sins.”
― Craig Groeschel, Weird: Because Normal Isn't Working

“Hayatımızda öyle bir an vardır ki o anın üstünden yıllar geçse bile, biliriz ki o an, hayatımızın tek bir fotoğrafı olabilecek güçtedir ve aklımızdan asla çıkmaz.”
― Ozan Önen, Babam Beni Şahdamarımdan Öptü

“Young people today are deeply passionate and crave authentic life based on truth. They're hungry to make a difference. They're willing to take a stand for whatever they believe, even to die for a cause. When they sell out to Jesus, they'll pursue a standard of righteousness that is greater than anything you and I ever saw growing up. Don't water it down. Don't lower the standard. And don't just settle for raising it-raise it higher. Believe in your children. Talk with them. Speak well of them. Encourage them. Pray for them. Celebrate the victories with them. Affirm their growth. We can raise a generation that, although they'll make mistakes, will sell out completely when Jesus grips them. They'll give Him everything. They'll make you proud by being even weirder than you are.”

“The passenger liner Ossifar Distana was one of the most luxurious of its kind in space anywhere. It ferried the cream of society across the void in opulence and style. Only the wealthiest could afford an apartment on this ship for a trip of any duration, even a short one around the proverbial block. Even the crew was obliged to pay rent.”
― Christina Engela, Dead Man's Hammer

“The universe is so vast, so immense, we can never expect to explore it all. It is in effect, not so much a final frontier as an ultimate frontier; the ultimate frontier – as wide as it is deep. Stars shine coldly in the unimaginable blackness. Out of the darkness, a tiny speck caught the distant light of stars – a tiny gray speck that, as it moved, seemed to grow larger, catching the light just so until it revealed itself to be a ship.”
― Christina Engela, Blachart

“God decided that this time in history was perfect for you to glorify Him and make an eternal difference. So God gave you unique gifts, talents, passions, and experiences to propel you into your life purpose.”
― Craig Groeschel, Weird: Because Normal Isn't Working

“Villainessa Tittel was a hired killer, an assassin by trade. She had enjoyed the best education and had been trained by assassins who had (until then at least) been considered the best in the business. She had turned to ‘cleaning’ as an occupation because she really enjoyed endings more than beginnings – and anyway, she didn’t need to know her mark’s entire pedigree or life’s story, or to have some kind of facetious moral justification just to collect her fee. Unsurprisingly, when she did read – on those rare occasions – her books were always dog-eared from the back.”
― Christina Engela

“Çoğunlukla bir kitaptan kurtulmak ona sahip olmaktan daha zordur. Kitaplar, sanki asla geri dönemeyeceğimiz bir anın tanıkları gibi, bir ihtiyaç ve unutkanlık anlaşmasıyla tutunurlar insana.”
― Carlos María Domínguez, The House Of Paper

“Bir insanın, hayatındaki değerli ve bir daha yaşanacağının garantisi olmayan anları uyuyarak harcaması bana hep canice gelir.”
― Jerome K. Jerome

“Training is an active, dynamic process lived out daily in all areas of life- not a rote exercise in memorizing verses and going to church every week.”
― Craig Groeschel, Weird: Because Normal Isn't Working

“Same time as every day, Fyl..." she fussed, the rest of the bridge crew seeming to hold their breaths. "TWELVE THIRTY!" came the chorus. The next hour dragged by, in about the same way as the hour before that. At twelve twenty-five, Commander Ortez found himself stepping out of an elevator into an equally mundane grey steel corridor on his way to the mess hall. Turning a corner, he met with a stream of crewmen milling around between shifts. Some off-duty personnel were lounging around in civvies, which consisted mostly of re-revamped 60's hippy fashions. Of all the places on the ship, the mess was the most spacious, (i.e.: it was a big mess.) The command officer’s balcony overhung the rest of the crew dining area. Ortez sat at his usual place, wincing as he remembered to get someone to fix the springs in his chair. An ensign, 3rd class dressed in chef’s white, served him with a plate of what either ended up feeding the chefs latest pet - or strangling it. Marnetti, Barnum and the sciences officer Commander Jaris Skotchdopole filed in, not necessarily in that order, and found seats. After a few bites, Marnetti -- who was the first officer and navigator, put up a hand and signalled a waiter. The lad approached fearfully, appreciating the highlight of his day.”

“For Commander Ripley Jones, it was becoming more and more troublesome. It had been said that nothing is infallible, Antares apparently being the proof. After hastily recalling all crew and leaving Spacedock 7 thirty hours ago, there had been nothing but problems. Breakdowns in the sensors and telemetry, system failures of a wide variety and finally – the Last Straw: a coupling seal in the stardrive engine failed. Fortunately the cut-out worked, or the whole of engineering would’ve disappeared in a flaming ball of anti-matter. Five crewmen were seriously injured as it was. Commander Smith, the Chief Entech, had the offending unit stripped down and under repair. They were currently on conversion drive - which could only propel them at sub-light speeds – and Ripley was currently in an elevator with a very pissed Captain Falconer.”

“Sevgi ve şefkat anları, insanoğlunun hayatındaki yegâne ölümsüz anlardır! Bizler ölümsüz anlara sahip ölümlüleriz!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“Anlar uçar; eğer anlarla beraber uçmazsan anlar uçarken sen yerde anların dışında kalırsın!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“For the gaming fishermen there was the Whatoosie River and its native cocka-snoek, the main game fish of the resident Skegg’s Valley Dynamite Fishing Club. Cocka-snoek were wily and tough and rather too bright for mere fish. You wouldn’t catch much with a rod around here. Many inexperienced visitors would find the bait stolen from their hooks, which punctuated the discovery that their lines had somehow got snagged and tangled irretrievably around some underwater obstruction – sometimes tied together with neat little bows. Often, several direct hits with hand grenades were needed to stun the creatures long enough just to catch them, gut them and fry them, but these former military types had become experts at it. For a modest fee, tours could be arranged via the booking office, which included an overnight stay on the banks of the river where one could drop off to a great night’s sleep after a satisfying meal of cocka-snoek done on an open fire, and the sound the bits of shrapnel made rattling in your stomach.”

“Advocacy groups in the USA, as in other countries, may not be able to silence this hateful, cowardly and deceitful attack upon people’s humanity – but they can put out the correct, factual, scientifically and medically accurate information in an attempt to counter the ignorance and to restore the balance.”
― Christina Engela, The Pink Community - The Facts

“An idea was forming in his mind. It was only rudimentary, but in the circumstances, it could be called a plan. He loathed the alien for attacking them, without any provocation. He hated the way it was smashing up his ship – and all of them – with hardly any effort or regard for life at all.
“How’s that message coming?”
“Umm – they must be jamming us, sir – I can’t get through.”
― Christina Engela, Space Sucks!

“Hiçbir an, şu andan daha değerli değildir çünkü bizzat şu anın dışındaki hiçbir an canlı değildir; şu andan başka anlar ya ölüdürler ya da henüz doğmamışlardır!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“I am not trying to be an expert or something like that... but the more I deeper go into" How to talk to people... "the more shit pop's up...”
― Deyth Banger, How to Talk to Anyone

“Hayattaki en iyi stratejilerden biri, bazen uzaktaki hedefi unutmak ve o anın güzelliklerinin tadını çıkarmaktır!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“Life is an inquiry!”

“Zevkine varmayı öğrenmişsen eğer, bu hayatta seni, sen istemeden bulduğunu düşündüklerinin, yaşayacak olduğun güzelliklerin kefaretine dönüşmesi de an meselesidir...”
― Ozan Önen, Babam Beni Şahdamarımdan Öptü

“Herkesin içinde, içinde bulunduğu harika bir anı tıpkı bir fotoğraf makinesi gibi dondurup o anın içinde sonsuza dek kalma arzusu vardır!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“Hayır!” dedi, “Yanlışın var! Değişmek için bir an bile yeter… Kısacık bir an yılların, şartların, insanların bir araya gelip yapamadığını, zahmetsiz görünen bir hamlede yapıverir. Aşk, sımsıkı kapanmış bir yüreğe doluverir. Sarsılmaz sanılan bir güven, yerle bir olur. Alabildiğine kirlenmiş dediğin bir ruh, üst üste düşüp birikmiş damlalarla sonunda temizlenir. Önemli olan zaman değil andır.”
― Kılıç Arslantürk, Acıyan Yerini Bul
