If there is ever another war in Europe, it will come out of some damned silly thing in the Balkans.

“Don’t be silly. I am not a god,” he said. “I am a mortal who has woken up, and there is power in awareness.”
The shimmer of pearls in Ezra’s hair caught my attention. I stared at the tiny, round gems. They were pretty, but I didn’t wear jewelry other than the gold chains that had once held my veil in place. No one had ever given me a piece—not a ring, necklace, hairpin, or bauble. I’d never purchased any for myself with whatever coins I’d found in my travels throughout the city, either. I never sought to own jewelry because I didn’t think it was meant for me. That sounded silly, but when Ezra or Mother wore such sparkly, beautiful things, they felt meant for them. Just as they did for nearly every female and many of the males in attendance tonight.
My mother’s head turned toward Ezra in response to something she’d said. The Queen smiled, and the breath I took was too thin. It was a beautiful smile, and I couldn’t remember her ever directing one like that at me.
She smiled at Ezra that way, but not me. Not her daughter.
I swallowed in hopes of easing the lump that had filled my throat, and all I succeeded in doing was nearly choking myself. My mother laughed, and I felt it in every bone. I had never made her laugh. Why would I? I was the failed Maiden, and Ezra was a Princess.
Gods, I was actually…jealous. After all these years. How could that even be possible? I wanted to laugh, but for the briefest of moments, I wanted to be Ezra.
I wanted to be the one sitting there, worthy of the family that surrounded me. Well, all but Tavius, but Ezra counted. And I wanted that.

‘Yes, I know you think I am silly.’
‘I think you are perfectly charming.’
‘And my silliness is part of my charm?’
‘I didn’t say that.’
‘But I know you like women to be rather insipid.’

one of the many ways
i know i love you
is because of small silly things
like the times
i’ve cheated at games
to let myself lose
and let you win
i just love to see your joy at small little things
and i’d rather see you happy than just try to win
The Little Prince
"Goodbye" he said to the flower.
But she did not say anything.
"Goodbye" he said again.
The flower coughed,but not because she had a cold.
After sometime she said, " i have been silly. Pls forgive me. Try to be happy.

Octavia Butler'dan yazmak isteyenlere tavsiyeler:
Writing for publication may be both the easiest and the hardest thing you’ll ever do. Learning the rules—if they can be called rules—is the easy part. Following them, turning them into regular habits, is an ongoing struggle. Here are the rules:
1. Read. Read about the art, the craft, and the business of writing. Read the kind of work you’d like

Who Joins Cults? - The "Not Me" Myth
The average person looks down on those who get involved in cults, get taken in a scam by some operator who bilks people, or remain in an abusive group or relationship for long periods. That only happens to weak and silly people, the person boasts, generating for herself or himself a category called "not me" in which to place the victims of cults, scams, and intense influence. There is an almost universal aversion to accepting the idea that we ourselves are vulnerable to persuasion. I have heard this from journalists, college professors, neighbors, passengers seated next to me on a plance, people I talk with in the street, graduate students, gardeners, sales clerks. Neither education, age, nor social class protects a person from this false sense of invulnerability.
Several years ago when I was lecturing in Switzerland, a Swiss psychiatrist opened the program by saying: "We have such an educated, close-knit, middle-class society, we have no cults here. Cults will never get an inroad in this country." I then provided literature containing the street addresses of various large, internationally known cults, as well as many small ones, operating in Zurich and other Swiss cities. Few, if any, countries in the world are without cults.

"Aptal insanlardan oluşan büyük grupların gücünü asla hafife almayın!"
So calm, so professional Eve
Bush:
Unless they're bald, all cunts are bushes.
Down there
This odd phrase is used by parochial school girls,
who learn it from the nuns. Don't confuse it with
Australia, which is called *down under."
example:
Eve: G'day, mate. Would you like to
touch me down there?
Adam: In Australia?
Eve: Not in the continent, you silly
wanker! In the cunt!
The world was a good place to buy in. It seemed like a fine philosophy. In five years, I thought, it will seem just as silly as all the other fine philosophies I’ve had.
Dont be silly, Zu-Zu! The satisfaction of serving the fire lord in some small way will be compensation enough!

MANGA:Gods of High school
#mangareads #mangareview #mangastram #mangaaddiction #godofhighschool #godofhighschoolfanart #godofhighschoolwebtoon #mangaoku #mangayorumu #mangaokuru
And another end of a manga series ! I am not saying that the manga is totally over bcuz it seems that there are still some chapters to be released in coming days and months ... So far 457 chapters have been translated and relased in English in webtoon . and again I didnt leaf through some pages of my books owing to the fact that I got really immersed into an other manga read😂
It was as thrilling as tower of God was ..At the beginning the story seemed too complicated and silly but when we comes to chapters at the end , you see that almost first chapters are correlated and interconnected with last chapters ....
Another point to be stated is that the concept of friendship among some friends , the hunger and greed of human beings for more and more without taking into consideration with the lives of innocent people were showed pretty well .. Particularly from the perspective of those people seeing themselves having mission and vision for humanity but doing all kind of bullshit.... It is definitely worth of reading .... Start to read it without hesitation. But if you have some books on your table to read , first concentrate on reading it or else you won't take a look till you end your manga's whole chapters😂😂😂
