The Forte Condominiums (website) is currently celebrating its grand opening in the Pinehurst neighborhood located in North Seattle.
Forte, a 4-story conversion, features 48 one-bedroom and two-bedroom homes that range in size from 564 sq ft to 1,400 sq ft for the penthouse suites. All homes surround a large light-filled central courtyard. Currently, one-bedrooms start at $194,950 and two-bedrooms at $254,950.
Overall, the finish quality is above average for this price point and includes standard stainless steel appliances and stainless kitchen sinks. There were some quirks such as the location of the in-unit fire alarms within the doorway trim…just looks odd.
The building is located at the corner of NE 125th Street & Roosevelt Way NE, which can get busy during rush hour commutes. However, the homes appeared to be well insulated and traffic was not discernible with the windows closed. Fortunately, only a few units face the intersection so most homes will not be affected by traffic noise.
The location also has advantages with easy access to I-5 and is on major bus routes. It's also close to the Northgate area which is undergoing considerable redevelopment and recently welcomed Barnes & Nobles, Bed Bath & Beyond and Stanford's.
Forte was previously the Roosevelt Court Apartments.
Perhaps someone can explain what "A Vivid Life. By any Measure." means and why it has all those periods.
The web designer and photographer did their best with what they had. But the ratio of pictures of the actual building to pictures of attractive young folks is a good indicator of the building's quality.
Another indicator: renaming by flipping through a French dictionary. A ticky-tacky apt building near where I work got condofied and of course it's now "La Reve." Sacre bleu.
Pinehurst is going through many changes right now and promises to be an even better neighborhood in the coming years. On the horizon are the first "green" Safeway in Washington and improvements to 15th Ave and the Pinehurst business district.
We lived at Roosevelt Court for two years – in two apartments – one on the ground floor on 125th and one in a penthouse on the 4th floor – NW corner. They were great apartments. I am eager to see them as condominiums. My two apartments are still available according to the advertisement.
What IS an issue is the seller and his representatives! They just recently changed to what looks like their 3rd on site company because only half the units have sold in the year theyve been available.
I had been told there were seller financing and leasing options available. However beyond pressuring you right then and THERE to sign something it's nearly impossible to get a hold of them. I literally went to meet with the new rep and he sent someone else from the office to the front to let us in, but NOT back to the office because they essentially lied and didn't know what they were talking about when it came to seller financing and the leasing options.
Overall= Great building, TERRIBLE representation. Beware. You need to be on top of it yourself, don't expect much help from them.
I live here now and I absolutely love this place. I'm only renting out a unit from the owner who recently moved into a larger home. Regardless, owner or renter, this is by far the best place I have ever lived and the only reason I felt compelled to add a comment. The inside is beautiful and modern looking while still maintaining that warm-home feeling. Plenty of space for all of my furniture without looking over crowded. My only complaint might be the living room. It's a little small but not small enough to be a deal breaker. It's definitely functional. Everything is very well insulated and my low power bills are great. Roughly $50 a month total (electric baseboard heat). I never hear the neighbors. The bus stop is right in front and goes right down to Seattle where I catch the Sounders/Seahawks/Mariners games with friends and don't have to worry about a DD. Lastly, it's right off I-5, just a 3 minute drive from the mall and my gym.
Imm currentyl renting out one of the two penthouse suites. This building is amazing. Its right next to grocery, freeways, roosevelt bars. There's a bus stop right outside. I can't hear the neighbors through these thick walls. The applianced are new. Amazing location. Great price. I woould welcome anyone to come stay at forte. Very quiet building. 100% pleased.


Activision has confirmed several details for Call of Duty: Ghosts on the Xbox One and Xbox 360 and it looks like some of them may drive players to alternate platforms or the desktop PC.
In a post on his blog, One of Swords, Activision community manager Dan Amrich confirmed that Ghosts on the Xbox 360 required a mandatory 3GB data install for the single-player campaign. Amrich added that installing the game onto a flash drive was also possible, although it needs to have 3GB or more available drive space.
"Any compatible USB 2.0 flash drive formatted for Xbox with enough free space will work also, including thumb drives. However, if you just want to play multiplayer, you don't need to install anything, An extra 250MB will be required for the 'Free Fall' downloadable map." Amrich writes.
Call of Duty: Ghosts has now appeared on the Xbox Live marketplace and for the Xbox 360 the limit for online multi-player matches is twelve players. On 360, the game supports up to four players offline and also supports two-player co-op on the same screen.
In related news, for the Xbox One platform Infinity Ward executive producer, Mark Rubin, tweeted that Call of Duty: Ghosts was optimised to hit 60fps across all platforms. However, Rubin notes that on the Xbox one the game is rendered at 720p and upscaled to 1080p, while the PS4 renders the game at a native 1080p.
This is similar to the situation with Battlefield 4, which runs at 720p upscaled to 1080p on the Xbox One, while the PS4 scales the game up from 900p to 1080p. It appears as if this may be the general trend moving forward for 2014 for multi-platform games that have not had the time to optimise their engines to effectively take advantage of the Xbox One's eSRAM.

JT Memorial Fund
Kevin Tracey
Cameron Thomas
Colin Crampton
Ian Conetta
David Thomas is organizing this fundraiser.
This page is in memory of John Thomas (JT) who passed away on Christmas Eve 2020, having bravely fought Cancer for several years, he was not strong enough to win the battle against COVID-19. A loyal, caring and loving husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, great-grandfather, neighbour and friend. He will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by all that knew him in Abertillery, London, Kent, Surrey and the Rhondda Valley. John was in the Civil Service for 34 years and was a member of the Royal Engineers in the 60's, he recently joined the RE Association in Cardiff. JT was really well known in the Kent, Surrey, South London and South Wales because of his Football Refereeing.
The family would like to thank everyone for their kind words, warmth and compassion since our loss. We would also like to thank all of the fantastic NHS staff for their amazing work, notably at Velindra Hospital in Cardiff.
He started officiating at matches 40 years ago in Kent and he was passionate about refereeing and he would always take the time to speak to the Officials whenever he went to watch a game. An oracle on the laws of the game and with years of experience, he was often sought out for his views and he always found time to chat to people. He never had a bad word to say about a Ref and he would not let a critical word about a match official go undefended. Even into his early 70's he would still put on his highly polished black boots to officiate at youth matches, so the youngsters could have a game. Always a great communicator, JT could be overheard during the game explaining his decisions to the players, managers and supporters, as he sought to educate them all in the laws of the game. If someone thought to try and get the better of JT, he had a full repartee of quick witted quips to firmly put them in their place and remind everyone who was in charge. He ended every game with a smile, a well intended hand shake and kind words for all.
Even once he retired from Refereeing and now in his 70's he would still occasionally run the line for a team who could not supply one. JT could be seen wandering towards the official at half time or at the end of the game with his hands in his oversized referees jacket, flat cap on, for a supportive word or two. He described the pinnacle of his career, as being when he was asked to run the line at the Principality Stadium and was never happier than when he was down the local park watching or refereeing a game. His last official game in charge was nearly 10 years ago and in true JT style he was humbled when his family from around the UK surprised him by turning up to watch the game. It was with much pride that we were all there to see him in action and he was embarrassed by all of the people who turned up to see him, the fuss and kind words. Someone even played the last post – how fitting that seems now.
He would love the thought of still being able to support Referees and any funds raised will be used by the Rhondda Referee's Society to help fund some of the Referee's or aspiring Referee's. The family would like to purchase and donate a trophy to be awarded to the official that the society feels has contributed the most to football in that season. The target of £2,311 is representative of his birthday - the 23rd November.
Off the pitch he was just the same; organised, prepared, played by the rules (maybe bending a few), well respected and liked, full of kindness, caring, compassion, a warm honest smile and much loved.

On 29 November 2016, Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE) released its estimate of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon for the period August 2015 to July 2016. It's not good news. Deforestation increased by 29% compared to the previous year.
Deforestation in Brazil hit a low in 2012. Since then it has increased by 75%. Last year, according to INPE, almost 8,000 square kilometres of forest in the Brazilian Amazon was cleared.
The actual area deforested is even larger. A recent study in Conservation Lettersfound that Brazil was under-reporting deforestation rates in its official figures. The study found that about 9,000 square kilometres of forest was cleared between 2008 and 2012 without the deforestation showing up in the official figures.
We showed that while deforestation in large plots of primary rainforests has declined, it has expanded in these areas not tracked by PRODES.
In an article in Nature, Jeff Tolleson quotes Paulo Barreto, a senior researcher at the Amazon Institute of People and the Environment, as saying that the size of the forest tracts that are being cleared is increasing. Tolleson notes that this is "a sign that the major players are investing in illegal deforestation".
Brazil with its Amazon Fund is beginning to implement large scale REDD projects. The lessons learned from this experience should prove useful to managing the expected large infusions of international financing for REDD projects in Brazil and elsewhere coming out of Copenhagen. Further, the capacity being developed at all levels – national, state and local – in handling REDD projects in Brazil will be beneficial to funding from the United States in the future, whether through USAID, TFCA [Tropical Forest Conservation Act], or forest offsets related to a cap-and-trade arrangement. It is good sign of growing maturity and independence that the GOB [Government of Brazil] is contemplating using some of the substantial oil revenues it expects to receive from exploiting its massive offshore oil reserves to address climate change through the new National Climate Change Fund.
With deforestation currently higher than it was when Norway's payments to the Amazon Fund started, one lesson to be learned would appear to be that US$1 billion is nothing like enough to stop deforestation in the Amazon.
When Brazil's then-President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva signed Decree 6527 to create the Amazon Fund, Brazil was hoping for much more money.
At the press event for the launching, Environment Minister Carlos Minc announced that Norway is expected to make the first contribution in September for a total of USD 100 million. Minc announced that the government has a target of USD 900 million for the first year. According to Eduardo Bandeira de Mello, the head of the Environment and Social Responsibilities Department of Brazil's National Development Bank (BNDES), which will manage the new fund, it could receive as much as USD 21 billion by 2011.
In return for its funding of the Amazon Fund, Norway received a certificate showing the reductions in carbon emissions resulting from their contributions. The certificate is not transferable and Brazil refused to allow any emissions rights or carbon credits as a result of the funding.
Coincidentally, the Norwegian DCM [Deputy Chief of Mission] said the Prime Minister's top priority for his upcoming visit to Brazil is to strengthen ties in the area of exploring and developing the newly discovered off-shore oil and gas reserves. He explained that Norway had many companies that would be able to supply a significant quantity of goods and services to Brazil in this area. Further, the Norwegian government had the technical advisors who could help a country follow the "Norwegian Model" in developing its oil sector. While there is no talk of a direct linkage between contributions to the fund and gaining oil and gas contracts (which would be inconsistent with ODA rules), the contributions could well have a positive impact.
And that is why Norway will not be asking for any of its US$1 billion back, no matter how steeply deforestation rises in Brazil. Asking for money back would no doubt not have a positive impact for Norway's oil and gas industry operations in Brazil.

#1. I really don't like being on television. It makes me uneasy. It is not natural to be talking to a piece of machinery. But the money is very good. #Quote by Morley Safer

#2. Who said that justice is what you imagine? Can you be sure that you know it when you see it, that you will live long enough to recognize the decisive thunder of its occurrence, that it can be manifest within a generation, within ten generations, within the entire span of human existence? What you are talking about is common sense, not justice. Justice is higher and not as easy to understand - until it presents itself in unmistakable splendor. The design of which I speak is far above our understanding. But we can sometimes feel its presence. #Quote by Mark Helprin
Talking Common Sense Justice
#3. Every town has a psychopath or two. Not just the everyday crazy person, either. Not like Crazy Larry, the paint huffing weirdo peddling around town on a child-sized Huffy ranting about the end of the world, or the old lady dressed in rags who hands out filthy doll clothes to the kiddies. I'm talking about the cold, never remorseful lunatic, who may never have seemed insane up until the day he hacked apart his mother and shoved her stinking corpse into the attic. This town is overflowing with them; bloodcurdling murderers like Kenny Wayne Hilbert, Charlie Fender ... Orland Winthro. And Al, the crazy had to come from somewhere. #Quote by Nikki Ferguson

#8. Tori chanced a glance out of the corner of her eye to the man at her side. His attention appeared riveted to the road in front of them. Good. He probably didn't even notice. His head suddenly swiveled her way as if he sensed her gaze. He winked at her. Winked! "I gotta say your stamina is impressive." His voice held a warm, teasing lilt. "I didn't think you'd make it past Mrs. Cooper's chicken farm with that iron-poker spine, and here you lasted three times as long." Tori stiffened, then realized the irony of the action and settled for pursing her lips instead. "I'm sure I have no idea what you are talking about." Mr. Porter chuckled. "And here I'd always thought you the honest type." Tori #Quote by Karen Witemeyer

You tell me about your divine love
(It has the shape of your hands) #Quote by Emmanuelle Soni-Dessaigne
Desire Love Passion Poem Poetry Romance Soulmates
#14. And in some environments, talking like an overly-educated, holier-than-thou reformer is an automatic hook. Don't get any tribal feelings about that description, either. The most sanctimonious holier-than-thou people I know are progressive social activists, not religious zealots. (Ooooh. Look at all the labeling in that sentence!) #Quote by Rory Miller
#15. There will never be talking pictures. #Quote by D.W. Griffith

#17. The challenge is to maintain a high-level, broad perspective, understand enough details to make sensible and executable decisions, and then delegate responsibility for implementation. "Microknowledge" must not become micromanagement, but it sure helps keep people on their toes when they know that the secretary knows what the hell he's talking about. If the secretary of defense doesn't #Quote by Robert M. Gates
#18. The old woman crossed over to her. "When I speak of the people," she said barely above a whisper, her voice all weariness and grief, "I ain't just talking about the flesh, the blood. It's their voices. Their yes's and no's. That's what holds muscle to bone. The biggest thing the white man takes from us ain't our bodies. He takes our voices, too. He swallows up our yes's and no's like biscuits. But one day our yes's and no's will be so loud and strong they will lodge in his throat. He will have to spit them out to keep from choking. He will starve. There won't be nothing left of him except the shadows he casts on the deadest night. #Quote by Jonathan Odell
Slavery In The United States
#19. My soul always reverts to the Old Testament and to Shakespeare. There at least one feels that it's human beings talking. There people hate, people love, people murder their enemy and curse his descendants through all generations, there people sin. #Quote by Soren Kierkegaard
Human Nature People Old Testament Hate Soul Curse Enemy Sin Murder Hate People Feels Generations Humans Talking Testament Descendants Human Beings My Soul
#20. When I got back to Marceline, I did not conceal from her how tedious I found all these acquaintances.

"But, my dear," said Marceline, "you can't expect each of them to be different from the others."

#23. We are not talking about isolation. We're talking about security. We're not talking about religion. We're talking about security. Our country is out of control.

Drugs will not pour through that wall. #Quote by Donald Trump

Talking Thoughts
#25. Last Saturday night I was in a club on the South Side of Chicago listening to live rock music and talking to a guitar playing veteran of the music scene in the city. He looked and talked like the musicians that I recall from my childhood; he was a thin, cigarette smoking, avant garde and interesting guy. We got to talking about a life in the relatively risky creative arts and he said, "Look, you could get that safe job and spend your whole life that way, but what are you waiting for? When you're ninety-six years old and have three days left? Is that when you decide to do what you love? #Quote by Jamie Freveletti

#26. If you stay, I'll do whatever you want. I'll quit the band, go with you to New York. But if you need me to go away, I'll do that, too. I was talking to Liz and she said maybe coming back to your old life would be too painful, that maybe it'd be easier for you to erase us. And that would suck, but I'd do it. I can lose you like that if I don't lose you today. I'll let you go. If you stay. #Quote by Gayle Forman
Infatuation Life Love Self Sacrifice

#29. I personally think the best ideas for TV shows - at least comedies - are very low-fi ideas. High concepts often sell pitches in movies and TV, but, especially in TV when you're talking about hopefully a 100 or 150 episode proposition, those concepts just burn off, and then you're stuck with nothing. #Quote by Michael Schur
Best Movies Ideas
#30. Thinking about writing isn't writing. Planning to write isn't writing. Neither is talking about it, posting about it, or complaining how hard it is. These may be part of the process. But only writing is writing. #Quote by Jack Ketchum
#31. Sprawled on the shore of forever
Talking to each other across
Dusks and dawns of tomorrows
Toasting our marshmellows
In the bonfires of yesterdays
Sipping amnesia we pour into
Each others cups to heal
Wounds on our feet that keep
Changing shapes of our joyrneys #Quote by Nalini Priyadarshni
Dusk And Dawn Forever Joyrneys Time Travelers

#33. Typing is the future of talking and to don't forgot and brother of feature. #Quote by Deyth Banger
Forgot Future Is Talking The Typing
#34. At the bottom in the gut of jazz if you listen closely you can hear - no matter how complexly, obliquely, mysteriously stylized - somebody talking, crying, growling, singing, farting, praying, stomping, voicing in all those modes through which our bodies communicate some tale about how it feels to be here on earth or leaving, or about the sweet pain of hanging on between the coming and going. #Quote by Zora Neale Hurston
#35. If I start talking about my own hopes, it'll take hours. The biggest hope is that there's not any more discrimination between men and women. That women could have equal rights. It's very painful when you see in your family that a brother can do anything he wants, but at the same age, you can't. #Quote by Malina Suliman
Brother Men Rights
#36. Nature is always talking to you, smiling to you, and singing to you. To understand, you just have to be open to listen with your heart and soul. #Quote by Debasish Mridha

#37. We probably spend more time talking about individual players in our coaching sessions than anything else. #Quote by Hayden Fry
Time Coaching Talking
#38. The old man would go on with this talking and this talking, drop by drop, stone by stone, flake by flake. His mind would well over at last and he would not be Montag any more, this the old man told him, assured him, promised him. He would be Montag-plus-Faber, fire plus water, and then, one day, after everything had mixed and simmered and worked away in silence, there would be neither fire nor water, but wine. Out of two separate and opposite things, a third. And one day he would look back upon the fool and know the fool. #Quote by Ray Bradbury
#39. And to my readers, both the loyal and the new, because without you, I'm just a girl talking to myself in public.
This is for you. #Quote by V.E. Schwab
#40. We're the grand design, and I think Stephen Hawking was right when he mentioned the Greek Ionian influence spreading throughout the world, talking about the universe and how it possesses an internal order. The Atlantians knew this and we'll be the sheriffs of that order fighting to keep gargoyles from arriving here and warming up our planet earth more than it is at this moment. #Quote by Leonard Clifton
#41. You're talking about denuding me in front of a crowd." He lowered his voice. "A man shouldn't show off his naked parts to the ladies. It isn't proper." A man his age should practice modesty. "But everyone's seen your junk," Katie remarked. "There are dozens of sex shops in the merchant ring that have modeled their vibrator collection after it. #Quote by Eve Langlais

#43. I'm sick of hearing, thinking and talking about Woody Allen. Nonetheless, the allegations against him continue to capture our national attention because so much of the story is strange and sordid. #Quote by Roxane Gay

#44. Often when you are starting out in comedy, you will find that people will laugh at the things you didn't think were funny. It's important to pay attention also to what people are laughing at when you are just talking in regular conversation. Often that is when you are truly being yourself. #Quote by Natasha Leggero
Funny Laugh Attention
#45. Pulling through is what people do around here. There is a kind of bravery in their lives that isn't bravery at all. It is automatic, unflinching, a mix of man and machine, consuming and unquestionable obligation meeting illness move for move in a giant even-steven game of chess – an unending round of something that looks like shadowboxing, though between love and death, which is the shadow? "Everyone admires us for our courage," says one man. "They have no idea what they're talking about."
"Courage requires options," the man adds.
"There are options," says a woman with a thick suede headband. "You could give up. You could fall apart."
"No you can't. Nobody does. I've never seen it," says the man. "Well, not really fall apart. #Quote by Lorrie Moore

#46. I'm talking to you and it's basically a direct communication, whereas if I'm writing a letter to you and you read the letter, there are like 12 extra deconstruction and reconstruction steps in the communication. #Quote by Kevin J. Anderson

#47. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sakes. Now, I mean, I'm talking about singing in the shower, I'm talking about dancing to the radio, I'm talking about writing a poem to a friend
a lousy poem. #Quote by Kurt Vonnegut
Art Dancing Life Singing Soul Writing
#48. When you're talking about the idea of loving your ex, and being able to hold on to that amidst all the other feelings of being heartbroken or sad or missing something that's gone --something dies when a relationship ends. It is a death because that thing that was the two of you together was alive and now it won't be and the only two people who really knew that thing was alive are the two of you. No one else knows. #Quote by Spike Jonze
#49. Do we really have to talk about professionalism? Everyone here is a professional. A master builder who puts up a wall that hasn't collapsed is certainly acting professionally, but professionalism ought to be the norm, and we should only be talking about the dodgy builder who puts up a wall that doesn't collapse....This insistence on professionalism, that it is something special, makes it sound as if people are generally lousy workers. #Quote by Umberto Eco
#50. I have a good friend, Rudolf Serkin, the pianist, a very sensitive man. I was talking to him one day backstage after a concert and I told him that I thought he had played particularly sensitively that day. I said, "You know, many pianists are brilliant, they strike the keys so well, but somehow you are different." "Ah," he said, "I don't think you should ever strike a key. You should pull the keys with your fingers." #Quote by Andrew Wyeth
Art Good Friend Men
#51. I'm someone who always comes on the court no matter what's going on in my life. It's all about basketball and my teammates and my team. I don't let any distractions in, and I bring my best every night, regardless of what's going on or what people are talking about. #Quote by Kris Humphries

#52. As my name might suggest, I'm Jewish. My grandparents were Polish and Russian Jews who came to Australia in the late 1920s, and had they not, we wouldn't be talking now. #Quote by Elliot Perlman

#54. Don't worry,' he said. 'So long as the facts are there, I can write the story. But please,' he added, 'let me have plenty of detail. That's what counts in our business, tiny little details, like you had a broken shoelace on your left shoe, or a fly settled on the rim of your glasses at lunch, or the man you were talking to had a broken front tooth ... #Quote by Roald Dahl
#55. I am not talking to you," said Abrenuncio. "I think in Low Latin. #Quote by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

#57. None of these people who are talking know Craig or Harry, or even care about who Craig or Harry are. The minute you stop talking about individuals and start talking about a group, your judgment has a flaw in it. #Quote by David Levithan
#58. A good editor understands what you're talking and writing about and doesn't meddle too much. #Quote by Irwin Shaw

#59. If you're a poet, you do something beautiful. I mean, you're supposed to leave something beautiful after you get off the page and everything. The ones you're talking about don't leave a single, solitary thing beautiful. All that maybe the slightly better ones do is sort of get inside your head and leave something there, but just because they do, just because they know how to leave something, it doesn't have to be a poem for heaven's sake. It may just be some kind of terribly fascinating, syntaxy droppings

#62. It was an evil doom that set her in his path. For she is a fair maiden, fairest lady of a house of queens. And yet I know not how I should speak of her. When I first looked on her and perceived her unhappiness, it seemed to me that I saw a white flower standing straight and proud, shapely as a lily and yet knew that it was hard, as if wrought by elf-wrights out of steel.

#63. The problem is that neither the M1 nor the M60 or indeed neither any tank, has sufficient ground pressure to drive a [bulldozer] blade into even marginally hard ground. They are not bulldozers, they are tanks, whether you are talking about the M1 or the M60's. So if you are going to dig in a tank, you need to have some kind of equipment. #Quote by Frank Carlucci

#65. Harper walked over to her reception desk. "What's with the Tyson look-alikes out there? I almost couldn't get in here."
Pixie frowned. "Better go ask your boy-o. Famous rock star in the house." Pixie accentuated her comment with the poke of her pen.
Jeez, he was huge. And built. And shirtless. Okay, enough staring. Well, maybe just for another second. Trent was leaning over the guy, and she could tell from the wide-reaching spread of purple transfer lines that he was just beginning a sleeve on the other man's lower arm. The guy in the chair might well be a rock star - although Harper would never admit she had no clue who he was - but he was wincing. Harper could totally feel for him.
Trent was in his usual position - hat on backward, gloves on, and perched on a stool.
Harper approached them nervously. The big guy's size and presence were a little intimidating.
"I don't bite." Oh God. He was talking to her.
He sucked air in between clenched teeth. "I said I don't bite. You can come closer." His blue eyes were sparkling as he studied her closely.
Trent looked up. "Hey, darlin'," he said, putting the tattoo machine down and reaching for her hand. "Dred, this is my girl, Harper. Harper, this is Dred Zander from the band Preload. He's one of the other judges I told you about."
Wow. Not that she knew much about the kind of music that Trent listened to, but even she had heard of Preload. That certainly explained t #Quote by Scarlett Cole

#67. You're too good for me."
He laughed. "Are we talking about the same person? The selfish fucker who curses and yells, blows up cars and beats up people, because he has a temper he can't control? You know, the one who drinks like a fish and fries his brain with drugs? That person is too good for you?"
She shook her head. "I'm talking about the boy who shared his chocolate bar with me when he probably never shared anything before, who gave me his mama's favourite book, because he thought I deserved to read. The one who seems to be constantly fixing me up when I get hurt. I'm talking about the boy who treats me like I'm a regular girl, the one who desperately needs his bedroom cleaned and laundry washed but chooses to live in a mess and wear dirty clothes, because he's too polite to ask the girl he kisses for help."
"Wow," Carmine said. "I'd like to meet that motherfucker. #Quote by J.M. Darhower
#68. What your problem is, you're all just a raindrop. One of an endless number. If only you'd just accept it, things would be so much easier. Say it with me: I am a drop in the ocean. I am neighbour, nation, north, and nowhere. I am one among many and we all fall together.
Or maybe I'm just a rat with wings and I don't know what I'm talking about. #Quote by Stephen Kelman
#69. When the Constitution declares that 'all men are created equal,' it is not referring to intelligence, good looks, good humor, height, weight, or income. It is talking about certain rights, 'inalienable', in that they cannot be taken away. #Quote by Elisabeth Elliot

#70. Here the train was halted. The Scotch half-breed slowly retraced his steps to the camp they had left. The men ceased talking. A revolver-shot rang out. The man came back hurriedly. The whips snapped, the bells tinkled merrily, the sleds churned along the trail; but Buck knew, and every dog knew, what had taken place behind the belt of river trees. #Quote by Jack London
#71. When you think about a presidential candidate spending all of his or her time talking to that tiny, tiny fraction of us who have the capacity to fund political elections, it's obvious why the perspective of government is skewed relative to what most Americans care about. #Quote by Lawrence Lessig

#72. Talk is only a pretext for other, subtler forms of communication. When the latter are inoperative speech becomes dead. If two people are intent upon communicating with one another it doesn't matter in the least how bewildering the talk becomes. People who insist upon clarity and logic often fail in making themselves understood. They are always-searching for a more perfect transmitter, deluded by the supposition that the mind is the only instrument for the exchange of thought. When one really begin to talk one delivers himself. Words are thrown about recklessly, not counted like pennies. One doesn't care about grammatical or factual errors, contradictions, lies and so on. One talks. If you are talking to some one who knows how to listen he understands perfectly, even though the words make no sense. When this kind of talk gets under way a marriage takes place, no matter whether you are talking to a man or a woman. Men talking with other men have as much need of this sort of marriage as women talking with women have. Married couples seldom enjoy this kind of talk, for reasons which are only too obvious. #Quote by Henry Miller
Sublter Forms Of Communication Talk
#73. Animal Man: 'Listen, just tell me one thing: am I REAL or what?'
Grant Morrison: 'Of COURSE you're real! We wouldn't be here talking if you weren't real.
'You existed long before I wrote about you and, if you're lucky, you'll still be young when I'm old or dead.
'You're more real than I am. #Quote by Grant Morrison
#74. Blaine, basketball, football and baseball are for commoners, the lower ninety-nine percent. We need our own thing to play when we're not sitting around talking about our family's money. You're right Sterling, How about a game called lacrosse? It's a cross between an actual sport and just being fancy like la-dee-da. That's why we call it lacrosse. We could wear polo shirts…. #Quote by Gisele Walko
#75. There was never a mention, never a declaration or a decision. But the long hours of talking stopped. No more reading aloud, or music, or films. And after that there was simple physical affection, the two walking arm in arm, or Maharet at her reading with Mekare sitting motionless on a bench nearby. #Quote by Anne Rice

"I'm putting them into the envelopes, just like you asked."
"Fold them hot dog style so they fit."
"Fold them- what?"
"What's the matter with you? You're folding them hamburger style, the short way, and they don't fold that way."
"What are you talking about?"
I took a piece of paper and folded it lengthwise. "Hot dog style, see? Looks like a hot dog." I folded it crosswise. "And hamburger style. Looks like a hamburger."
"It looks like a piece of paper."
"And you look like an idiot. #Quote by Courtney Allison Moulton
#80. If you're having problems with someone on the Internet, simply block the person and move on. And if you do want to meet people from online, make sure you do your research to make sure you're talking to the person you want to be talking to. #Quote by KSI

#81. Emerson, are you paying attention?"
I sat up straight in my seat. "Yes, sir."
"Okay," Mr. Williams said. "Then tell us, the system we've been talking about this whole class period is called what?"
My heart was racing, and the room started spinning. I hated being called on. I had no idea what the answer was, but then Jackson whispered, "Binomial nomenclature."
It was like he had said, I want to make love to you. That's how Jackson saying "binomial nomenclature" sounded to me.
Mr. Williams was still glaring at me. I pointed my finger to the ceiling and announced, "Binomial nomenclature!"
"So you are paying attention, Emerson. Good," Mr. Williams said. #Quote by Renee Carlino
#82. A Puritan twist in our nature makes us think that anything good for us must be twice as good if it's hard to swallow. Learning Greek and Latin used to play the role of character builder, since they were considered to be as exhausting and unrewarding as digging a trench in the morning and filling it up in the afternoon. It was what made a man, or a woman -- or more likely a robot -- of you. Now math serves that purpose in many schools: your task is to try to follow rules that make sense, perhaps, to some higher beings; and in the end to accept your failure with humbled pride. As you limp off with your aching mind and bruised soul, you know that nothing in later life will ever be as difficult.
What a perverse fate for one of our kind's greatest triumphs! Think how absurd it would be were music treated this way (for math and music are both excursions into sensuous structure): suffer through playing your scales, and when you're an adult you'll never have to listen to music again. And this is mathematics we're talking about, the language in which, Galileo said, the Book of the World is written. This is mathematics, which reaches down into our deepest intuitions and outward toward the nature of the universe -- mathematics, which explains the atoms as well as the stars in their courses, and lets us see into the ways that rivers and arteries branch. For mathematics itself is the study of connections: how things ideally must and, in fact, do sort together -- beyond, around, #Quote by Ellen Kaplan

#83. I despise those shallow religious comics. Dennis the Menace, for instance, is the most shallow. When they show him praying - I just can't stand that sort of thing, talking to God about some cutesy thing that he'd done during the day.

#88. Maybe I could have done fifty things to avoid the accident. Left the car in the garage that day. Hurried through a yellow light that I'd stopped at. Gone to the beach instead of mini-golf. Been alone, not talking to friends. But I did all those things, and Celine hadn't done the many things she could have to avoid the accident, either. All the things get done and you regret them and then you accept them because there's nothing else to do. Regret doesn't budge things; it seems crazy that the force of all that human want can't amend a moment, can't even stir a pebble. #Quote by Darin Strauss

#91. For some people, it's the beginning of an awakening when they hear or read, "You have a voice in your head that never stops talking. Have you noticed that?" And suddenly they become aware that the thoughts go through their heads, whereas before they were so identified with them that they were those thoughts. #Quote by Eckhart Tolle

#94. The reason child care is such a loaded issue is that when we talk about it, we are always tacitly talking about motherhood. And when we're talking about motherhood we're always tacitly assuming that child care must be a very dim second to full-time mother care. #Quote by Anna Quindlen

#97. Because by definition they lack any such sense of mutuality or wholeness, our specializations subsist on conflict with one another. The rule is never to cooperate, but rather to follow one's own interest as far as possible. Checks and balances are all applied externally, by opposition, never by self-restraint. Labor, management, the military, the government, etc., never forbear until their excesses arouse enough opposition to force them to do so. The good of the whole of Creation, the world and all its creatures together, is never a consideration because it is never thought of; our culture now simply lacks the means for thinking of it.
It is for this reason that none of our basic problems is ever solved. Indeed, it is for this reason that our basic problems are getting worse. The specialists are profiting too well from the symptoms, evidently, to be concerned about cures -- just as the myth of imminent cure (by some 'breakthrough' of science or technology) is so lucrative and all-justifying as to foreclose any possibility of an interest in prevention. The problems thus become the stock in trade of specialists. The so-called professions survive by endlessly "processing" and talking about problems that they have neither the will nor the competence to solve. The doctor who is interested in disease but not in health is clearly in the same category with the conservationist who invests in the destruction of what he otherwise intends to preserve. The both have the comfort #Quote by Wendell Berry

#100. In another corner Nathaniel murmured to Maura, "You must know, Miss O'Connell, I ... I loved you even before I saw you. It was your father's way of talking."
Maura shook her head. "You mustn't say that. It's not my dear da's words that should do the wooing," she said gently. "I'd rather be cared for ... for what I am myself."
Nathaniel nodded. "I'll not say more. But I will tell you what I think I'm going to do."

And do you think, Nathaniel Brewster, you'll find it?"
I do. But it won't be as fine as what's here," Nathaniel said with a shy smile. "Maura O'Connell ... will ... will you ... wait for me to come back?"

Something bobbed on the surface, a piece of driftwood. And then another. And another. The boards floated past in broken shards, the edges burned. An unpleasant chill went through Alucard.
The Ghost was sailing through the remains of a ship.
"That," said Alucard, "is the work of Sea Serpents."
Lila's eyes widened. "Please tell me you're talking about mercenaries and not giant ship-eating snakes."
Alucard raised a brow. "Giant ship-eating snakes? Really?"
"What?" she challenged. "How am I supposed to know where to draw the line in this world?"
"You can draw it well before giant ship-eating snakes... #Quote by V.E Schwab

That's what our love is about. #Quote by Dorothy Koomson
#106. I wake on the fiction couch deeply hungover, my head cracking, with Rachel telling me to get up. She's holding my eyelids open like she used to do in high school when we'd stayed up all night talking and then slept through the morning alarm. 'Get. Up. Henry.'
'What time is it? I ask, batting off her hands.
'It's eleven. The shop's been open for an hour. There are customers asking for books I can't find. George is yelling at a guy called Martin Gamble who's here to help me create the database. And as a separate issue, Amy's waiting in the reading garden.'
'Amy's here?' I sit up and mess my hair around. 'How do I look?'

#111. I depend on my son because I want him to be something that I am not. He is the fulfillment of all my hopes, my desires; he is my immortality, my continuation. So my relationship with my son, with my wife, with my children, with my neighbors, is a state of psychological dependency, and I am fearful of being in a state in which there is no dependence. I do not know what that means, therefore I depend on books, on relationship, on society, I depend on property to give me security, position, prestige. And if I do not depend on any of these things, then I depend on the experiences that I have had, on my own thoughts, on the greatness of my own pursuits.
The problem is not how not to depend, but just to see the fact that we do depend. Where there is attachment there is no love. Because you do not know how to love, you depend, and…where there is dependency there is fear. I am talking of psychological dependency, not of your dependence on the milkman to bring you milk, or your dependence on the railway, or on a bridge. It is this inward psychological dependency - on ideas, on people, on property that breeds fear. So, you cannot be free from fear as long as you do not understand relationship, and relationship can be understood only when the mind watches all its relationships, which is the beginning of self-knowledge. #Quote by Jiddu Krishnamurti
#112. If I were an immigrant Latino not born in the US, I could not have written Searching for Whitopia: An Improbably Journey to the Heart of America book.

#116. Wow," he added, blinking rather rapidly as Hermione came hurrying toward them. "You look great!"
"Always the tone of surprise," said Hermione, though she smiled. She was wearing a floaty, lilac-colored dress with matching high heels; her hair was sleek and shiny. "Your Great-Aunt Muriel doesn't agree, I just met her upstairs while she was giving Fleur the tiara. She said, 'Oh dear, is this the Muggle-born?' and then, 'Bad posture and skinny ankles.'"
"Don't take it personally, she's rude to everyone," said Ron.
"Talking about Muriel?" inquired George, reemerging from the marquee with Fred. "Yeah, she's just told me my ears are lopsided. Old bat. I wish old Uncle Bilius was still with us, though; he was a right laugh at weddings."
"Wasn't he the one who saw a Grim and died twenty-hour hours later?" asked Hermione.
"Well, yeah, he went a bit odd toward the end," conceded George.
"But before he went loopy he was the life and soul of the party," said Fred. "He used to down an entire bottle of firewhisky, then run onto the dance floor, hoist up his robes, and start pulling bunches of flowers out of his--"
"Yes, he sounds a real charmer," said Hermione, while Harry roared with laughter.

#124. When one hears the word meditation, it conjures an image of Maharishi Yoga talking about finding a mantra and striving for nirvana. The purpose of such meditation is to empty oneself. [Satan] is happy to invade the empty vacuum of your soul and possess it. That is why people serve Satan without ever knowing it or deciding to, but no one can be a child of God without making a decision to surrender to him.

#127. On A Cold Day, Of A Cold Walking
The day is cold, but clouds are gray.
The grass is white with frost, and may I say?
The sun is coming up, over the hill.
It's so quiet, and so steal.
In the midst of all the trees, by the broke I see.
Something moving in the bush; what could it be?
The frost falls from the dead leaves, as he hops about in the breeze.
It's a bunny, all bundled up with fur, so he will not freeze.
Life keeps on going, even when we think not.
Where are you going, and what is your lot?
Looking for God's Love, from up above?
Jesus will fly to you, like a dove.
He is there; just start talking.
On a cold day, of I called walking. #Quote by Jerrel C. Thomas

#131. If you're truly in a band and you guys have been together for a long time, there's a family bond that you have. In fact, I've talked about this with therapists, especially if you're talking about a relationship, because when you're with somebody, you're going to your family, and she's alone. #Quote by Gary Allan
Family Time Alone
#132. I think one of the reasons my family survived its difficult times and is so close today is because we are always laughing at one another's faults and mistakes, and despite whatever injustices are done, we have a good time doing it. We aren't afraid to poke fun at one another and no one ever takes it personal for long. My brothers and I are highly competitive and world-class trash-talkers, and if you ever walk in while we are playing cards or dominoes--just like our games with Granny and Pa--you probably would think someone is fixing to die.
Our neighbor, who was about my parents' age, came over to our house once looking for my mom. She found my brothers and me playing the card game hearts. She offered to be the fourth. But about midway through the second hand, we looked up and she had tears streaming down her face. She threw her cards in the middle of the table, declared she didn't want to play anymore, and left the house. We were a bit miffed about it and didn't realize until later that our trash talking had led to her emotional exit. Another time, I brought a girl from high school down to my parents' house for supper and cards because she told me she was quite the spades player. Halfway through the game, she was crying hysterically. Her sister later stood nose to nose with me and gave me quite the tongue-lashing. I came to realize that our banter was a bit extreme to people outside of our family. Maybe that is one of the reasons I married a woman who couldn't care les #Quote by Jase Robertson
#133. They decided now, talking it over in their tight little two-and-quarter room flat, that most people who call themselves 'truth seekers' - persons who scurry about chattering of Truth as though it were a tangible seperable thing, like houses or salt or bread - did not so much desire to find Truth as to cure their mental itch. In novels, these truth-seekers quested the 'secret of life' in laboratories which did not seem to be provided wtih Bunsen flames or reagents; or they went, at great expense and much discomfort from hot trains and undesirable snakes, to Himalayan monasteries, to learn from unaseptic sages that the Mind can do all sorts of edifying things if one will but spend thirty or forty years in eating rice and gazing on one's navel.
To these high matters Martin responded, 'Rot!' He insisted that there is no Truth but only many truths; that Truth is not a colored bird to be chased among the rocks and captured by its tail, but a skeptical attitude toward life. (260) #Quote by Sinclair Lewis
#134. Are we talking hell hounds and flames here?" Des asked, pacing at the end of our beds.
I repeated the question and gave a heaving sigh of relief when Jameson said I had the wrong idea.
"He's going to 'lead us into temptation.'"
"That doesn't sound so bad," Des said with a cheeky grin. #Quote by Terri Clark

#135. No. This was a crude and adolescent way of talking to the fairer gender, it rarely works. When it does work, the woman that falls for it isn't even suitable for a satisfying sexual encounter. A good way to weed out the poor decisions and unacceptable mistakes though, and a better way to catch a horrible case of the dick rot. Trial and error. A few hit points missing is better for skill gain anyway. #Quote by J.C. Wickhart

#137. So, please, let's stop talking about 'having it all' and start talking about the very real challenges of 'doing it all.' The old debate pits women against one another and distracts the conversation from what truly matters - figuring out how working mothers can get the support they need to achieve economic security and build better, happier, more-balanced lives. #Quote by Kirsten Gillibrand

#138. I didn't endorse Donald Trump but I thanked him for coming, thanked him for raising issues that were important, thanked him for talking about immigration and considering the views that we had worked on for a number of years, on what a good immigration policy should be. #Quote by Jeff Sessions

#142. The difference between writing where you know where to draw the line and writing where you're being way too mean is whether you can tell that the writer is not talking to family or friends anymore. Generally, if you say something bad about somebody on stage, you need to say two bad things about yourself. A lot of times, I think I'm the worst person in the room. #Quote by David Sedaris

#146. You can't fight Mom's unstoppable move. It probably how Mom got to be boss of a nonprofit: Nonprofits are all about persuading people to do stuff by talking at them. It's like Will Carruthers talking you into giving him your Doritos 'one time,' except that the nonprofit is going to jump you in the locker room and whip your naked buttocks with a towel. #Quote by Jesse Andrews

#149. She's not talking now," muttered the Rani's aunt, wagging one stick-like finger. "That tiger is throwing his voice."
"Can no-one get that woman to stop talking?" asked the Rajah of the room.
"Easier to stop 'em than start 'em," said the tiger, and he dealt with the matter. #Quote by Neil Gaiman
#150. Talking of snakes, Mrs. Montgomery told me that once she nearly stood upon a krait - one of the most venomous snakes in India. She has been very ill at the time, suffering from acute facial neuralgia, 'so that I didn't care if I trod on fifty kraits. I was quite stupid with pain, and was going back in the evening to my bungalow, preceded by a servant who was carrying a lamp. Suddenly he stopped and said "Krait, Mem-sahib!" - but I was far too ill to notice what he was saying, and went straight on, and the krait was lying right in the middle of the path! The servant did a thing absolutely without precedent in India - he touched me! - he put hand on my shoulder and pulled me back. My shoe came off and I stopped. Of course if he hadn't done that I should have undoubtedly have been killed; but I didn't like it all the same same, and got rid of him soon after. #Quote by J.R. Ackerley

#152. First of all, we occupied Afghanistan and Iraq and I'm not even talking about the past occupation of them, I'm just talking about currently. And we all know that occupations, in military terms, comes down basically to policing, so you have an army basically functioning as a police force in these foreign territories as part of foreign policy. I'm not knocking that down, I'm just observing. #Quote by Oren Moverman

#156. When did all this happen?" Vaughn asked.
"We met for drinks last Friday to discuss a criminal matter related to Sterling. Things progressed from there."
"Is that right?" Vaughn looked at him slyly. "Just how far did they progress?"
"Still not comfortable talking about Brooke this way," Huxley interjected.
Cade held back a smile, grateful for the excuse to change the subject. For whatever reason, he didn't feel like engaging in locker room talk about Brooke. "Huxley's right. Try to keep it classy, Vaughn."
Vaughn studied him for a moment. Seven years they'd been best friends, and they knew each other well. "You like her."
Cade took a nonchalant sip of his beer. "Just watch the game."
"Evading the question," Huxley said under his breath to Vaughn. "I think we got our answer, Agent Roberts."
"We sure did, Agent Huxley," Vaughn said.
Cade shook his head.

#159. That's it: watch your moods. Don't let people see you fluctuate. Don't let yourself run your mouth. Never ever cry, even alone, because your cat or your kettle might tell. Always smile, but don't laugh loudly. Mania is an extrovert, but if you need to vent, tell your mattress or maybe your therapist, but put nothing in writing and never tell a friend or coworker how you're really feeling. Downplay any problem or joy. Pay attention to any signs that your life is shitty or excellent, because either is an illusion. Be careful around men, especially ones with big arms or opinions. Stop talking. #Quote by Elissa Washuta

#160. With me the process is much more like bird-watching than like either talking or building. I see pictures. Some of the pictures have a common flavour, almost a common smell, which groups them together. Keep quiet and watch and they will begin joining themselves up.(quoting C.S. Lewis) #Quote by E.J. Kirk
#161. I'm always playing a role, whether it's the role of the mayor, the role of a news anchor, or a role of a crazy talk-show host. But there was a specific function. 'On Dancing With The Stars', I had nothing to do but be me, schlepping around the floor. And when I host 'America's Got Talent', that's really me just talking to regular folks. #Quote by Jerry Springer

#163. Recall, then, some event that has left a distinct impression on you
how at the corner of the street, perhaps, you passed two people talking. A tree shook; an electric light danced; the tone of the talk was comic, but also tragic; a whole vision, an entire conception, seemed contained in that moment.
But when you attempt to reconstruct it in words, you will find that it breaks into a thousand conflicting impressions. #Quote by Virginia Woolf

#164. Art is supposed to reflect your journey through real life. Your discovery of your character in solitude and around other people, the moments of clarity when you feel loved and the moment when your heart breaks so much that you can hear it crack. When you run careless and free on open fields and when you're struggling on your way home on the bus. This is what makes you a real artist. Experiences, moments, stories. Falling recklessly in love, losing someone you love and then learning to belong to yourself again. Going to new places, meeting new people, driving in the middle of the night on empty streets. Going to the ocean and staying there until 6 a.m, smoking cigarettes and talking about roses and butterflies. These are the things that will give you something worth writing about, worth singing about, worth creating art around. #Quote by Charlotte Eriksson

#165. It's interesting that my neighbor Irv, who saw dogs so differently, knew all the kids and people on the block and could recite the family history of each house until about a decade ago. Now few of our neighbors can name more than a handful of people who live on the street. They have little to do with local government, and vote sporadically, at best. In the evenings and on weekends, they go their own ways. Their kids are repeatedly warned about talking to people they don't know. #Quote by Jon Katz

#168. An awkward silence descended between us. Where did that phrase come from? I wonder. Silence descended. Descended from where exactly? Was it hovering over us like the alien spaceship in Independence Day? Maybe it wasn't really silence so much as it was the smothering weight of something unsaid, words we'd kept at bay, kept in the air, by talking about other things. #Quote by Jacqueline Carey

#171. There's a lot of unnecessary meanness that happens while you're trying to sort out who you want to be, who your friends are, who your friends are not. Adults spend a lot of time talking about bullying in schools these days, but the real problem isn't as obvious as one kid throwing a Slurpee in another kid's face. It's about social isolation. It's about cruel jokes. It's about the way kids treat one another. I've seen it with my own eyes, how old friends can turn against each other: it seems, sometimes, that it's not enough for them to go their separate ways - they literally have to "ice" their old buddies out just to prove to the new friends that they're no longer still friends. That's the kind of stuff I don't find acceptable. Fine, don't be friends anymore: but stay kind about it. Be respectful. Is that too much to ask? #Quote by R.J. Palacio
#172. It was the moment in which a sane man who is talking to a lunatic has not yet perceived that his companion is mad. #Quote by Marcel Proust
#173. A little later, strolling about the town, I, stopped into a shop near the museum, where they sold souvenirs and post-cards. I looked over the cards leisurely; the ones I liked best were soiled and wrinkled. The man, who spoke French fluently, offered to make the cards presentable. He asked me to wait a few minutes while he ran over to the house and cleaned and ironed them. He said he would make them look like new. I was so dumbfounded that before I could say anything he had disappeared, leaving me in charge of the shop. After a few minutes his wife came in. I thought she looked strange for a Greek woman. After a few words had passed I realized that she was French and she, when she learned that I hailed from Paris, was overjoyed to speak with me. We got along beautifully until she began talking about Greece. She hated Crete, she said. It was too dry, too dusty, too hot, too bare. She missed the beautiful trees of Normandy, the gardens with the high walls, the orchards, and so on. Didn't I agree with her? I said NO, flatly. "Monsieur!" she said, rising up in her pride and dignity, as if I had slapped her in the face.
"I don't miss anything," I said, pressing the point home. "I think this is marvellous. I don't like your gardens with their high walls, I don't like your pretty little orchards and your well-cultivated-fields. I like this …" and I pointed outdobrs to the dusty road on which a sorely-laden donkey was plodding along dejectedly. "But it's not civilized," sh #Quote by Henry Miller

#175. Society as a whole is better off when information is available to the public. Whether you are talking about how to prevent disease, or about who does the best job of treating disease, it is useful to provide as much information to the public as possible. #Quote by Dave Obey

#176. And you thought you'd honk Shay off real good by asking the man at the top of her Most Hated list." "She doesn't hate you." "Could've fooled me." "Well, you haven't fooled anybody, least of all me." Miss Lucy's eyes, magnified by the bottle glasses, narrowed knowingly. Travis looked toward the darkening sky and clamped his jaw. "Don't know what you're talking about." "Don't be contrary with me, Travis McCoy. I've known you since you were running around this place in nothing but a diaper. You're still in love with Shay. #Quote by Denise Hunter

#178. The thing about Margo Roth Spiegelman is that really all I could ever do was let her talk, and then when she stopped talking encourage her to go on, due to the facts that 1. I was incontestably in love with her, and 2. She was absolutely unprecedented in every way, and 3. She never really asked me any questions, so the only way to avoid silence was to keep her talking. #Quote by John Green

#180. I've become a collector of stories about unlikely returns: the sudden reappearance of the long-lost son, the father found, the lovers reunited after forty years. Once in awhile, a letter does fall behind a post office desk and lie there for years before it's finally discovered and delivered to the rightful address. The seemingly brain-dead sometimes wake up and start talking. I'm always on the lookout for proof that what is done can sometimes be undone. #Quote by Karen Thompson Walker

#185. You know what bothered me about it? Everyone was supposedly committed to the pursuit of truth and beauty, or at least one of those things, but no one was actually doing anything about it, and it seemed all wrong to me. The inertia, I mean. The inertia made everything seem fraudulent. There we were, talking about art, but no one was doing anything except Lilia. She was taking pictures. She spoke four languages."
"Five."
"You're counting Russian? Anyway, what I'm saying is that no one was doing anything important except her. She worked as a dishwasher, she lived cheaply, she took beautiful pictures and translated things. She never made any money off it, it was just something she did. The point is, she never talked about it. She never seemed like she was posing. She never theorized or deconstructed. She just practiced her art, practiced it instead of analyzing it to death, and it rendered the rest of us fraudulent. There aren't many people in the world . . ." He stopped talking and shook his head. He didn't trust himself to continue. #Quote by Emily St. John Mandel
#186. Cecile made it sound like it was no big deal. "I've been fighting for freedom all my life." But she wasn't talking about protest signs, standing up to the Man, and knowing your rights. She was talking about her life. Just her. Not the people. #Quote by Rita Williams-Garcia
#187. When I came back from Bolivia, my Spanish was in some ways as good as my English. I am rusty today. But I am comfortable talking in Spanish. I am not flawless or fluent, but I am comfortable.

#190. I'd been deeply affected by my contact with the miners, not only because of their kindness, but because they'd taken this potentially hellish place and made it, if not heaven, at least human; through their simple rituals of eating, drinking tea, smoking tobacco, praying, playing, and talking, they'd created civilization in one of the most impossible places to imagine it. And what seemed like a miracle to me was, to them, just another day at work! #Quote by Michael Benanav
#191. On March 31, 1994, I went to LAX to catch a flight from L.A. to Seattle. Kurt Cobain was waiting to take the same flight. We started talking. He had just skipped out of a rehab facility. We were both fucked up. We ended up getting seats next to each other and talking the whole way, but we didn't delve into certain things: I was in my hell and he was in his, and we both seemed to understand. #Quote by Duff McKagan

#194. We should all know this: that listening is not talking; [it] is the gifted and great role and the imaginative role. And the true listener is much more beloved, magnetic than the talker, and he is more effective, and learns more and does more good. And so try listening. Listen to your wife, your husband, your father, your mother, your children, your friends; to those who love you and those who don't, to those who bore you, to your enemies. It will work a small miracle. And perhaps a great one. #Quote by Brenda Ueland

It's already talking to other applications in the supply chain, like warehouse management, order management and ERP systems.

#200. When one begins to concentrate, the dropping of a pin will seem like a thunderbolt going through the brain. As the organs get finer, the perceptions get finer. These are the stages through which we have to pass, and all those who persevere will succeed. Give up all argumentation and other distractions. Is there anything in dry intellectual jargon? It only throws the mind off its balance and disturbs it. Things of subtler planes have to be realised. Will talking do that? So give up all vain talk. Read only those books which have been written by persons who have had realisation. #Quote by Swami Vivekananda
