"State I call it, where all are drinkers of poison, the good and the bad; state, where all lose themselves, the good and the bad; state, where the slow suicide of everyone is called – 'life.'”

The group tracked the impact of research papers over time. They saw that papers with new knowledge combinations were more likely to be published in less prestigious journals, and also much more likely to be ignored upon publication. They got off to a slow start in the world, but after three years, the papers with new knowledge combos surpassed the conventional papers, and began accumulating more citations from other scientists. Fifteen years after publication, studies that made multiple new knowledge combinations were way more likely to be in the top 1 percent of most-cited papers.
To recap: work that builds bridges between disparate pieces of knowl- edge is less likely to be funded, less likely to appear in famous journals, more likely to be ignored upon publication, and then more likely in the long run to be a smash hit in the library of human knowledge.

"I'm going to kill him, malysh. It's going to be slow, and it's going to be painful. Just give me his name."
The durn little tyke is sitting on the top step, looking smaller than ever in the sulphur-coloured light. That’s the one trouble with this country: everything, weather, all, hangs on too long. Like our rivers, our land: opaque, slow, violent; shaping and creating the life of man in its implacable and brooding image.

"Doing the big stuff was always going to appeal to the Doctor - the grand gesture, the heroic rescue, the overthrowing of meglomaniacs. Anything else, not so much. The slow, boring, sensible course didn't appeal to her at all. But sometimes she had to grit her teeth and not be heroic. She wanted to go after the villain, but she had to get back to her friends."

Yalanın bazen iyilik olsun diye kullanıldığını biliyorum. Ben yalandan iyilik gelebileceğine inanmam. Doğrunun keskin acısı geçebilir, ama yalanın insanı ağır ağır kemiren ıstırabı hiçbir zaman yok olmaz. Her zaman kanayan bir yaradır.
I know that sometimes lies are used for the sake of goodness. I don't believe goodness can come from lies. The sharp pain of truth may pass, but the slow, gnawing agony of lies never disappears. It's always a festering wound.
the importance of warming up
“You may be slow to warm up, but once you do, you light up the whole room.”
“Isınmakta zorlanabilirsiniz fakat ısındığın zaman tüm odayı aydınlatırsın.”
VISENYA THE QUEEN YOU ARE
"Even with Blackfyre in your hand, you are only one man," she told him, "and I cannot always be with you." When the king pointed out he had guardsman around him, Visenya drew Dark Sister and slashed him across the cheek so quickly the guards had no time to react. "Your guards are slow and lazy," she said. "I could have killed you as easily as I cut you. You require better protection." King Aegon, bleeding, had no choice but to agree.

Delik deşik umutlar. Kakara kikiri hüzünler.
Bu kere, sen bir de şarkı söyle. Slow. Türü ne:
*"Asla'... mı?
*"Belki'... mi?
"Çözümsüz'... mü?

The slow dance of swans was so elegant against the violet color of the sea that we sat in silence admiring it. Another flock of swans arrived from the west, darkening the last orange shimmerings of the sky with their huge wings, and kept going. These birds, so dignified in appearance and so fierce in their hearts, are designed for sailing - on land they look like fat ducks - but they never look so splendid as when they're in flight.
Kuğuların ağır ağır dansı, denizin menekşe rengi karşısında o kadar zarifti ki, sessizce oturup onu hayranlıkla izledik. Batıdan başka bir kuğu sürüsü geldi, kocaman kanatlarıyla gökyüzünün son turuncu pırıltılarını karartarak yollarına devam ettiler. Görünüşleri o kadar asil, yürekleri o kadar vahşi olan bu kuşlar, yelken açmak için tasarlanmışlardır - karada şişman ördeklere benzerler - ama hiçbir zaman uçarkenki kadar muhteşem görünmezler.

They sinned against the light, (…). And you can see the darkness in their eyes. And that is why they are wanderers on the earth to this day.
On the steps of the Paris stock exchange the goldskinned men quoting prices on their gemmed fingers. Gabble of geese. They swarmed loud, uncouth about the temple, their heads thickplotting under maladroit silk hats. Not theirs: these clothes, this speech, these gestures. Their full slow eyes belied the words, the gestures eager and unoffending, but knew the rancours massed about them and knew their zeal was vain. Vain patience to heap and hoard. Time surely would scatter all. A hoard heaped by the roadside: plundered and passing on. Their eyes knew their years of wandering and, patient, knew the dishonours of their flesh.
