But this...her...she's more than warmth. She's fire, a soul, a name. Mei Yee reverbs through my head, my veins. Lodges like shrapnel in the far reaches of my chest. More powerful than a pound of C-4. Uncontrollable. ~ Ryan Graudin
Dai quotes by Ryan Graudin
It never made sense to my young mind, how a hurt from so long ago could keep a man from walking right. Stay with him for the rest of his life. But now that I am older, now that I've fought my own wars and fired my own guns, I understand. ~ Ryan Graudin
Dai quotes by Ryan Graudin
In his cradle he had been given four gifts. The ring in his hands and the locket that hung around his neck, the sword on his hip and an oath sworn in his name. The locket, containing the painted images of the mother and father he could not remember seeing in life, was the most precious, the oath the heaviest. "To stand against the Shadow so long as iron is hard and stone abides. To defend the Malkieri while one drop of blood remains. To avenge what cannot be defended." And then he had been anointed with oil and named Dai Shan, consecrated as the next King of Malkier and sent away from a land that knew it would die. ~ Robert Jordan
Dai quotes by Robert Jordan
A lot of people believe women can't do tech-y stuff. Becoming nerdy doesn't have to mean the short-haired guy, but can be the woman with very long, beautiful hair. ~ Weili Dai
Dai quotes by Weili Dai
A good magic effect should easily be described in one sentence. ~ Dai Vernon
Dai quotes by Dai Vernon
The highest truth is daiji, translated as dai jiki in Chinese scriptures. This is the subject of the question the emperor asked Bodhidharma: "What is the First Principle?" Bodhidharma said, "I don't know." "I don't know" is the First Principle. ~ Shunryu Suzuki
Dai quotes by Shunryu Suzuki
Does it mean I'm your wife?" He playfully teased holding up his long slender finger showcasing the band.
"Yep, but I'll be good to you." They kissed again.
"You're too good." Dai whispered. "But I'm not going to be the lady of the house."
Shi gasped in mock surprise. "You mean you're not going to cook for me and do the laundry?"
Dai laughed. "Depends."
"On?"
"How good you suck cock." Dai leaned forward and whispered in his ear.
"Really? I didn't realize I was marrying someone so demanding."-Dai and Shi ~ Rochelle H. Ragnarok
Dai quotes by Rochelle H. Ragnarok
We had been so unlucky. By the time we had finally learnt to read properly, there had been nothing left for us to read. ~ Dai Sijie
Dai quotes by Dai Sijie
The night garden felt like a home, with the glittering sky for the ceiling, the bushes our rug, and the dilapidated pavilion our bed. He lit up the place like a heart-warming hearth fire. He was the walls of my sanctuary, the food for my eyes, the scent of a home. He was everything. ~ Weina Dai Randel
Dai quotes by Weina Dai Randel
It would evidently take more than a political regime, more than dire poverty to stop a woman from wanting to be well-dressed: it was a desire as old as the world, as old as the desire for children. ~ Dai Sijie
Dai quotes by Dai Sijie
I believe it is in the world's interest to develop environments that fully engage women and leverage their natural talents. ~ Weili Dai
Dai quotes by Weili Dai
I detested their blind, thoughtless, automatic acquiescence to it all, their simpleminded patriotism, their prideful ignorance, their love-it-or-leave-it platitudes, how they were sending me off to a war they didn't understand and didn't want to understand. I held them responsible. By God, yes, I did. All of them - I held them personally and individually responsible - the polyestered Kiwanis boys, the merchants and the farmers, the pious churchgoers, the chatty housewives, the PTA and the Lions club and the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the fine outstanding gentry out at the country club. They didn't know Bao Dai from the man in the moon. They didn't know history. They didn't know the first thing about Diem's tyranny, or the nature of Vietnamese nationalist, or the long colonialism of the French - this was all too damn complicated, it required some reading - but no matter, it was a war to stop the Communists, plain and simple, which was how they liked things, and you were a treasonous pussy if you had second thoughts about killing or dying for plain and simple reasons. ~ Tim O'Brien
Dai quotes by Tim O'Brien
:Well, isn't this cozy?:
Dai is grinning at me. We are packed in so tightly, I realize our shoulders and arms are touching.
:I think I owe that boat captain a favor,: he adds, a gleam of mischief in his dark eyes. :I wouldn't mind if he decided to drive in circles over our heads for the next few hours.:
:I think your muscles would get a little cramped by then: I nod at his long legs, which he's had to bend to fit into our hiding spot.
:The pain would be worth it,: he says, looking at me. I feel my cheeks heat up as I stare back at him. Is Dai actually flirting with me? ~ Polly Holyoke
Dai quotes by Polly Holyoke
Let students use technologies in the classroom. ~ Weili Dai
Dai quotes by Weili Dai
It is pure mythology that women cannot perform as well as men in science, engineering and mathematics. In my experience, the opposite is true: Women are often more adept and patient at untangling complex problems, multitasking, seeing the possibilities in new solutions and winning team support for collaborative action. ~ Weili Dai
Dai quotes by Weili Dai
I have no beginning nor an end,
I have no mother nor a friend.
Seldom do I give you warning or fear,
but when you think of me, you shall shed a tear.
So fair and just I'm known,
Like the wind and air that you cannot own,
On and on I shall continue,
When your heart hardens to a stone ~ Weina Dai Randel
Dai quotes by Weina Dai Randel
I was very fortunate when I was little - I played basketball. You really absolutely learn how to be a team player, how to win a game, to accomplish things, not just for yourself. ~ Weili Dai
Dai quotes by Weili Dai
Mozart is thinking of Chairman Mao ~ Dai Sijie
Dai quotes by Dai Sijie
I believe every single woman could accomplish what I've accomplished. ~ Weili Dai
Dai quotes by Weili Dai
While I've been talking with Mariah, Dai has unfolded himself from our hiding spot. Now he floats directly in front of it, refusing to move out of my way until I meet his gaze.
His eyes are serious when I finally look at him. :Nere, just for the record, I don't think you are an idiot, and Lena will never be my type.: ~ Polly Holyoke
Dai quotes by Polly Holyoke
In the end we had changed the position of the hands so many times that we had no idea what the time really was. ~ Dai Sijie
Dai quotes by Dai Sijie
How are you coming into the effect? How are you getting out? ~ Dai Vernon
Dai quotes by Dai Vernon
It still hurt her to see their poems before her, printed in the curving Yeged-dai script, using Yegedin forms and the images so beloved of the Yegedin: the single pebble, the grasshopper at twilight, the song of a heartbroken lark sitting in a bent tree. ~ Yoon Ha Lee
Dai quotes by Yoon Ha Lee
Court played his role to the hilt now, cocking his head as if he were wondering if the person asking the question might possibly be mentally deranged. "The CIA? You think I bought my way free of the Agency? I fucking shot my way out, pal." He rolled his eyes. "Pay off the CIA? They don't need me to pay them off. They are part of the U.S. federal government, the guys that print U.S. dollars, or didn't you know?" Dai asked his next question in a flat, emotionless voice. "Did you arrive in a Dassault Falcon yesterday? ~ Mark Greaney
Dai quotes by Mark Greaney
By the time we arrived the film had already started, and there was only standing room left behind the screen, where everything was in reverse and everyone was left-handed. ~ Dai Sijie
Dai quotes by Dai Sijie
The side's all right, but my bloody knees are killing me! ~ Dai Dower
Dai quotes by Dai Dower
Dai Vernon, the greatest sleight of hand figure in the history of the art, rarely performed. But he invented magic and had an enormous influence on the whole range of sleight of hand. And so often, the magic he was doing was to fool other magicians. ~ Ricky Jay
Dai quotes by Ricky Jay
Holding up an oil-paper umbrella,
I loiter aimlessly in the long, long
And lonely rainy alley,
I hope to encounter
A lilac-like girl
Nursing her resentment
A lilac-like color she has
A lilac-like fragrance,
A lilac-like sadness,
Melancholy in the rain,
Sorrowful and uncertain;
She loiters aimlessly in this lonely rainy alley
Holding up an oil-paper umbrella
Just like me
And just like me
Walks silently,
Apathetic, sad and disconsolate
Silently she moves closer
Moves closer and casts
A sigh-like glance
She glides by
Like a dream
Hazy and confused like a dream
As in a dream she glides past
Like a lilac spray,
This girl glides past beside me;
She silently moves away, moves away
Up to the broken-down bamboo fence,
To the end of the rainy alley.
In the rains sad song,
Her color vanishes
Her fragrance diffuses,
Even her
Sigh-like glance,
Lilac-like discontent
Vanish.
Holding up an oil-paper umbrella, alone
Aimlessly walking in the long, long
And lonely rainy alley,
I wish for
A lilac-like girl
Nursing her resentment glide by. ~ Dai Wangshu
Dai quotes by Dai Wangshu
Duty is heavier than a mountain, Dai Shan.'
That time, Lan did flinch. How long had it been since someone had been able to do that to him with mere words? He remembered teaching that same concept to a youth out of the Two Rivers. A sheepherder, innocent of the world, fearful of the fate laid out before him by the Pattern. ~ Robert Jordan
Dai quotes by Robert Jordan
Dai Tregarron had called her Olwen, had spoken to her as if she were a creature capable of escape from the commonplace, not the pedestrian, middle-aged woman everyone else saw, incapable of imagination, even less of passion. He had seen who she wanted to be and given the dream a moment's life. ~ Anne Perry
Dai quotes by Anne Perry
I kept my door more securely locked than ever and passed the time with foreign novels. Since Balzac was Luo's favourite I put him to one side, and with the ardour and earnestness of my eighteen years I fell in love with one author after another: Flaubert, Gogol, Melville, and even Romain Rolland. ~ Dai Sijie
Dai quotes by Dai Sijie
I believe in order to make a friend, you have to be a friend. ~ Weili Dai
Dai quotes by Weili Dai
She spoke into his ear. "You just mugged a guy. Stole his motorcycle." "Not how I see it." "How do you see it?" "Colonel Dai just bought a used dirt bike in Vietnam. I was kind of the middleman." "Tell yourself whatever works, Violator. ~ Mark Greaney
Dai quotes by Mark Greaney
Technology is one of the key drivers of female economic empowerment, but the fields that women choose to participate in are still decidedly gendered. ~ Weili Dai
Dai quotes by Weili Dai
It is hard to have a true friend, and it is harder to be the one ... ~ Tran Dai Nghia
Dai quotes by Tran Dai Nghia
Still, I'm not convinced that you were right, Dai
that it's such a bad thing, a useless enterprise to reel and reel out my memory at night. Some part of me, the human part of me, is kept alive by this, I think. Like water flushing a wound, to prevent it from closing. I am a lucky one, like Chiyo says. I made a terrible mistake. In Gifu, in my raggedy clothes, I had an unreckonable power. I didn't know it at the time. But when I return to the stairwell now, I can feel them webbing around me: my choices, their infinite variety, spiraling out of my hands, my invisible thread. Regret is a pilgrimage back to the place where I was free to choose. It's become my sanctuary here in Nowhere Mill. A threshold where I still exist. ~ Karen Russell
Dai quotes by Karen Russell
In science, technology, engineering and mathematics, men far outnumber women in the classroom and the boardroom. ~ Weili Dai
Dai quotes by Weili Dai
Technology is a nerdy field. That's why I called myself a 'geek.' It requires a lot of training and encouragement at a very young age. ~ Weili Dai
Dai quotes by Weili Dai
Comedy born of bewilderment is the only comedy that should be in magic. ~ Dai Vernon
Dai quotes by Dai Vernon
What the eyes see, the heart must believe. ~ Dai Vernon
Dai quotes by Dai Vernon
In terms of achievement, the pride is very important to me. It keeps me going every day. The money is always second to me. ~ Weili Dai
Dai quotes by Weili Dai
If I could climax as many times as a Derek Dingle routine I would be a happy man! ~ Dai Vernon
Dai quotes by Dai Vernon
I would prefer to be a citizen of an independent country rather than Emperor of an enslaved one. ~ Bao Dai
Dai quotes by Bao Dai
In magic, today as always, the effect is what counts. The method or methods used are always purely secondary. ~ Dai Vernon
Dai quotes by Dai Vernon
Most magicians consider the palm an easy move to make. They are inclined to believe that they are 'getting away with it,' when they are in fact fortunate enough to have a polite audience. ~ Dai Vernon
