I was sitting across from a row of seats on a streetcar and all these anonymous passengers were looking over the new arrival to see if they could find something funny about him.
Peremeci sokak?Alıntı
"The word piremeci is a corruption of peremeci, which refers to the operators of a type of kayık, described as gondola-like, called the pereme, which was used since Byzantine times to carry goods and passengers back and forth across the Golden Horn. The verb pereme in Greek means 'to cross to the other side', and comes from the same root as pera"
Sayfa 148 - Haliç'te gondol benzeri bir tür kayık olan pereme'nin operatörlerini ifade eden peremeci kelimesinin bozulmuş halidir. Yunanca'da pereme fiili 'öbür tarafa geçmek' anlamına gelir ve pera ile aynı kökten gelir.·Kitabı okudu

Song of Myself (I)
1
I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
Creeds and schools in abeyance,
Retiring back a while sufficed at what they are, but never forgotten,
I harbor for good or bad, I permit to speak at every hazard,
Nature without check with original energy.

Houses and rooms are full of perfumes, the shelves are crowded with perfumes,
I breathe the fragrance myself and know it and like it,
The distillation would intoxicate me also, but I shall not let it.
The atmosphere is not a perfume, it has no taste of the distillation, it is odorless,
It is for my mouth forever, I am in love with it,
I will go to the bank by the wood and become undisguised and naked,
A destination-control elevator system groups passengers, so that those going to the same floor are asked to use the same elevator and the passenger load is distributed to maximize efficiency.
With destination control, the destination keypads are located in the hallway outside the elevators and there are no keypads inside the elevators. People are directed to whichever elevator will most efficiently reach their floor. Thus, if there were five people desiring elevators, they might be assigned to five different elevators. The result is faster trips for everyone, with a minimum of stops. Even if people are assigned to elevators that are not the next to arrive, they will get to their destinations faster than if they took earlier elevators.
Those who can’t help but create problems in their minds often do so because they have ceased creative control of their existence. They move into the passenger’s seat thinking that life happens to them, rather than being a product of their actions.
All these young souls were passengers in the Durbeyfield ship entirely dependent on the judgment of the two Durbeyfield adults for their pleasures, their necessities, their health, even their existence. If the heads of the Durbeyfield household chose to sail into difficulty, disaster, starvation, disease, degradation, death, thither were these half- dozen little captives under hatches compelled to sail with them-six helpless creatures, who had never been asked if they wished for life on any terms, much less if they wished for it on such hard conditions as were involved in being of the shiftless house of Durbeyfield.
