“Mankind is a rope fastened between animal and overman – a rope over an abyss. A dangerous crossing, a dangerous on-the-way, a dangerous looking back, a dangerous shuddering and standing still. What is great about human beings is that they are a bridge and not a purpose: what is lovable about human beings is that they are a crossing over and a
The guard, the tall one, had stopped walking—and now moved back in Ta’roga’s direction, holding its bow in both hands, an arrow resting between the curved wood and the string.It heard me.Ta’roga didn’t move. A minute passed, and then the man took off its head covering, a thick animal skin with metal stitched around the eyes, and set it gently on the ground before standing again, looking directly at the tree where Ta’roga sat. It moved closer, but didn’t seem to be searching for anything. Rather, it turned its hairy face from side to side, slowly. Listening.Ta’roga had never seen one so closely, and felt, for the first time, that perhaps One Eye was right to speak so respectfully of these creatures. It wasn’t charging to attack, or shouting for help, or deciding to ignore the small sound; it was thinking. Presented with evidence by its senses, it was searching for the source of what it had heard.Ta’roga’s mask blocked the sound of his breathing, but his heart beat quickly.

Ok ancak geri çekilerek atılır. Hayat sizi zorluklarla geri çekiyorsa, sizi daha büyük bir şeye fırlatacağı içindir. An arrow is only shot forward by being pulled back. If life is pulling you back with challenges, it's because it's about to propel you into something greater.
“The heart is an arrow. It demands aim to land true.”
Not Exactly the Sun it’s a yellow light. I mean walking down the street it’s a yellow light there soundless.

“One method that Einstein employed to help people visualize this notion was to begin by imagining two-dimensional explorers on a two-dimensional universe, like a flat surface. These “flatlanders” can wander in any direction on this flat surface, but the concept of going up or down has no meaning to them. Now, imagine this variation: What if these

Now hear this, lovers, my friends: Love is a precious thing; It doesn’t grace everyone. Love is a decorous thing. It makes ash heaps out of hills, Into hearts it blazes trails, Turns sultans into vassals—

Peter. Clarissa, bahçedeki çeşmenin yanında ondan ayrılacağını söyleyince, korkunç bir acı çeker. Ama acı çeken yalnız Peter değildir. Bu ikisinin ilişkisi öylesine çapraşıktır ki, Clarissa da daha sonraları Peter’in bir başkasıyla evlenmesinin acısını, “yıllarca yüreğine saplanmış bir ok gibi” (“for years like an arrow sticking in her heart”) taşır.

My fingers trace along his forearm and arrow tattoo. The one I’m sure he got for me. It’s a reminder of our past on his skin. Just like his scars and mine. Proof we both survived. We’re survivors.
Örneğin, Af­rika’nın önde gelen romancılarından Chinua Achebe ve Ngugi wa Thiong’o’nun ya­zıları muhalif paradigmaların alanı haline gelen karşı-söylemsel uygulamalarla dolu­dur.

For the lord Rudra is Time and Death, and the year is his bow, and therefore the Night of Doomsday for men was made the unwithering string of that bow. Vishņu, the blazing Agni, and Soma were the arrow, for this whole universe is made of Agni and Soma, and the universe is said to be made of Vishņu, and Vishņu is the soul of the lord Bhava of infinite energy.
One Hundred Love Sonnets: XVII
I don’t love you as if you were a rose of salt, topaz, or arrow of carnations that propagate fire: I love you as one loves certain obscure things, secretly, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that doesn’t bloom but carries the light of those flowers, hidden, within itself, and thanks to your love the tight aroma that arose from the earth lives dimly in my body. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where, I love you directly without problems or pride: I love you like this because I don’t know any other way to love, except in this form in which I am not nor are you, so close that your hand upon my chest is mine, so close that your eyes close with my dreams.
Amongst all the natural elements that he controlled, Varuna was most closely involved with water — and water was linked with oath-taking. A person accused of wrong-doing, and who swore his innocence, could be required to submerge himself in water while an arrow was shot and retrieved. If he was still alive when the arrow was brought back his truthfulness, and thereby his innocence, were held to be established.
Thus not the tenderness of friendship, nor the beauty of earth, nor of heaven, could redeem my soul from woe; the very accents of love were ineffectual. I was encompassed by a cloud which no beneficial influence could penetrate. The wounded deer dragging its fainting limbs to dinner untrodden brake, there to face upon the arrow which had pierced it, and to fit, was but a type of me.
