He pondered deeply, like diving into a deep water he let himself sink down to the ground of the sensation, down to the place where the causes lie, because to identify the causes, so it seemed to him, is the very essence of thinking, and by this alone sensations turn into realizations and are not lost, but become entities and start to emit like rays of light what is inside of them.

The winter of 1916–17 was one of the worst in European history, and it wrecked the harvests. The impact was less severe for Britain and its allies because they were able to import food.

Their immense navy always won the hunger games against foreign

Losers are clustered in local services like hospitality and retail and in lower-value manufacturing sectors where a combination of automation and competition from cheaper, foreign labour hollowed out local industries and jobs. By 2015, only some 50 per cent of American thirty-year-olds were earning more than their parents in real terms.4 The country’s overall GDP may have continued to grow, but the rewards flowed mainly to those already at or near the top of the income ladder. Between 2001 and 2016, upper-income families added 33 per cent to their net wealth, whereas middle-income families saw their median net worth fall by 20 per cent and lower-income families by 45 per cent.5
People. People. Endless noise.

The transition from petty commodity production to capitalist production properly so called is thus marked by two parallel phenomena: on the one hand, the transformation of labour-power into a commodity, and on the other, the transformation of the means of production into capital.
"If Catherine had recognized a part of herself in Nina’s eyes, so, too, did Nina seem to recognize herself in Catherine’s. The silent sisterhood of victims. There are more of us than anyone will ever know."

"Eğer Catherine Nina'nın gözlerinde kendinden bir parça gördüyse, Nina da Catherine'in gözlerinde kendini görüyor gibiydi. Kurbanların sessiz kardeşliği. Kimsenin tahmin edemeyeceği kadar çoğuz."

“And I was fine. I was even observing the scenery. You can imagine, me looking at scenery, on the road every week of my life. But it’s so beautiful up there, Linda, the trees are so thick, and the sun is warm. I opened the windshield and just let the warm air bathe over me.”

...One summer, in Chioggia, as we were waiting for the vaporetto that would take us back to Venice, he said, “I would like to be inside you and come out of you so I could be like you.”
"Daha yirmi altısına basmamış gay bir Kamboçyalı olarak savaşın, soykırımın ve sömürgeciliğin izlerini bedenimde taşıyordum. Buna rağmen işim, aramda bir okyanus kadar mesafe bulunan benden on yaş küçük gençlere, insan olmanın ne anlama geldiğini öğretmekti. Ne saçma. "
