The distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem solving under adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers ~ Lev S. Vygotsky
Lev quotes by Lev S. Vygotsky
If this were some kind of entertainment, this would be roughly the point where Rupert said, "We don't have any more time, Professor, you must complete your research as soon as possible," but there was no great sense of urgency, no sense that it even mattered. It was just something that Rudi was interested in, for his own reasons. They could be working on this for years and still not understand it, and it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference.
He said, "Look, Professor, a lot of effort went into getting you that information. We'd be grateful if you could make some kind of sense of it reasonably soon.
"There is one thing I can tell you right now," Lev said..."Whoever is running this thing, they're really interested in railways. ~ Dave Hutchinson
Lev quotes by Dave Hutchinson
That guy was a mystery wrapped in an enigma and crudely stapled to a ticking fucking time bomb. He was either going to hit somebody or start a blog. To tell you the truth I'm kind of glad he hit you. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
In real life it was like they were playing some children's game. It was a little kid's idea of a magical object. Though what did you expect from a bunch of talking ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Lev looks at Risa, almost afraid to ask the obvious question. Finally he says, 'Uh ... why do we have a baby?'
'Ask him,' says Risa.
Stone-faced, Conner looks out of the window. 'They're looking for two boys and a girl. Having a baby will throw them off.'
'Great,' snaps Risa. 'Maybe we should all pick up a baby along the way. ~ Neal Shusterman
Lev quotes by Neal Shusterman
Loyalty was their way of life. ~ Sophia Bar-Lev
Lev quotes by Sophia Bar-Lev
Labyrinths were old sorcery, and subtle: good for recharging one's magical resources when they were running low. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
That was one thing about books: once you read them they couldn't be unread. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Of course I'm not sure," he said. "That's why you go. To find out if it's enough. You just have to be sure you want to find out. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Give a man food, and he can eat for a day. Give a man a job, and he can only eat for 30 minutes on break. ~ Lev L. Spiro
Lev quotes by Lev L. Spiro
Something must be going on deep in his subconscious, he thought, some kind of redecoration, refurbishment, reupholstering that required a lot of downtime - some shadowy application running in the background, performing unknown operations, consuming huge chunks of psychic ram. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
He and Janet talked like this all the time. The Fillorians didn't really get it, they thought High King Eliot and Queen Janet hated each other, but the truth was that in Quentin's absence Janet had become his principal confidante. Eliot supposed it was partly because they both found real romantic intimacy elusive and kind of uninteresting, so usually neither of them had a serious boyfriend, and they had to turn to each other for intelligent companionship. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
I guess we're supposed to have faith."
"I never really took you for the faith-having kind," Quentin said.
"I didn't either. But it's worked out so far. We've got five of the seven keys. You can't argue with results."
"You can't," Quentin said, "but that's actually not the same thing as having faith."
"Why do you always try to ruin everything?"
"I'm not ruining it. I just want to understand it."
"If you had faith you wouldn't have to understand. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
A sensation, hidden in the depths of my emotional memory, was suddenly revived: what if ... What if for me The Variation is not dead? If The Variation is alive?! ~ Lev Polugaevsky
Lev quotes by Lev Polugaevsky
Never cook with a wine you wouldn't drink," he said. "Though I guess that presupposes that there is a wine I wouldn't drink. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
It was the strangest thing, but he was looking forward to everything so much, he could hardly stand it. He never would have believed it. He never thought he would.
"You know what?" He took Alice's hand. "Let's fly. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Her depressive tendency, the flip side of her manic streak, was stirring. Why were they even doing this? it wanted to know. What a waste of time, of effort. Of pencils. Plum needed to get moving, but she was having trouble attaching meanings to things; the meanings kept peeling off like old stickers. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Childhood is a complex dialectical process characterized by periodicity, unevenness in the development of different functions, metamorphosis or qualitative transformation of one form into another, intertwining of external and internal factors, and adaptive processes which overcome impediments that the child encounters. ~ Lev S. Vygotsky
Lev quotes by Lev S. Vygotsky
He disliked the narrative aspects of history, particularly that part of it. People were so boringly deformed by it, like Ash, or else, like Lev, scarcely aware of it. ~ William Gibson
Lev quotes by William Gibson
5 1/2 centuries after its 1.0 release, the book is a surprisingly robust piece of information technology. Sure, its memory is relatively tiny
one novel adds up to less than a megabyte. But it doesn't need charging, and it never crashes. Its interface is rapidly and intuitively navigable. The scroll never stood a chance. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Though he found himself reluctant to be the direct cause of any actual killing. This wasn't Tolkien - these weren't orcs and trolls and giant spiders and whatever else, evil creatures that you were free to commit genocide on without any complicated moral ramifications. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Why add prime numbers? Prime numbers are made to be multiplied, not added. ~ Lev Landau
Lev quotes by Lev Landau
That's what death did, it treated you like a child, like everything you had ever thought and done and cared about was just a child's game, to be crumpled up and thrown away when it was over. It didn't matter. Death didn't respect you. Death thought you were bullshit, and it wanted to make sure you knew it. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Do you know, I had almost lost faith in the goddess? I almost stopped believing in Her. But I realized I had to become something. I had to take what was done to me and use it to make myself into what I wanted to be. And I wanted this. And when I called Her, the goddess came. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Magic: it was what happened when the mind met the world, and the mind won for a change. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
It's true that all men are pigs. The trick is to tame one who knows how to find truffles. ~ Lev L. Spiro
Lev quotes by Lev L. Spiro
sometimes God wants your son. sometimes He'll settle for a ram. PouncySilverkitten: ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
had only been at SUM a year, ~ Lev Raphael
Lev quotes by Lev Raphael
Science is a way to pursue one's sense of inquiry at the expense of the State. ~ Lev Artsimovich
Lev quotes by Lev Artsimovich
She swore she could prove it mathematically, but the calculations required were so involved that they would have required a computer the size of the universe, running for a length of time that would have taken them past the projected heat-death of the universe, to work them out. It was pretty much the definition of moot. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
They were on the highway, lights flashing, sirens blaring.
'Maybe we should go in quietly and not tip him off. Just a suggestion.'
'Just clearing the way. I'll cut the lights and siren before we turn off the highway.'
'I see the heavy traffic,' Lev said. There wasn't a car on the road. ~ Christine Feehan
Lev quotes by Christine Feehan
Dostoevsky does not believe his own words, and he is trying to replace a lack of faith with "feeling" and eloquence. ~ Lev Shestov
Lev quotes by Lev Shestov
trick was just not wanting anything. That was power. That was courage: the courage not to love anyone or hope for anything. The ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Any fool can see you're a woman. Luckily, this is a school full of geniuses, so I don't think you'll have too much trouble. ~ Lev A.C. Rosen
Lev quotes by Lev A.C. Rosen
You might jump in at this point and say: Hey. Guy. (It's Mark.) Okay, Mark. If the same day is repeating over and over again, if every morning it just goes back to the beginning automatically, with everything exactly the way it was, then you could basically do whatever you want, am I right? I mean, sure, you could go to the library, but you could go to the library naked and it wouldn't even matter, because it would all be erased the next day like a shaken Etch A Sketch. You could, I don't know, rob a bank or hop a freight train or tell everybody what you really think of them. You could do anything you wanted.
Which was, yes, theoretically true. But honestly, in this heat, who has the energy? What I wanted was to sit on my ass somewhere air-conditioned and read books. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
I've read plenty of J.G. Ballard, but I'm not really a Ballardian. I've met Ballardians, and I know when I can't compete. I like Ballard in his relatively unchallenging apocalyptic mode: 'Vermilion Sands,' 'The Drowned World,' 'The Burning World,' 'The Crystal World.' ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
The American papers, which had been available in Vladivostok, were more honest than the British. Lev ~ Ken Follett
Lev quotes by Ken Follett
Graciousness, courtesy, compassion-this is hesed. Hesed is a quality that extends even to the animals and the land. The sabbath rest principle of Hebrew law included the needs of the livestock (Exod. 23:12). After seven years of planting and harvesting, the land itself needed "a year of complete rest" (Lev. 25:5). Even the soil of the vineyards was not to be overtaxed by planting other crops between the rows (Deut. 22:9). The oxen that trod out the grain were not to be muzzled so that they could eat while they worked (Deut. 25:4). And so on. ~ Richard J. Foster
Lev quotes by Richard J. Foster
I read obsessively when I'm writing. I think there are two kinds of fiction writers, those who read incessantly while they write and those who can't read at all, lest their individual voices get overwhelmed, or tainted somehow. I'm the first kind. To use a painfully precious metaphor, I need fixed stars to navigate by, otherwise I get lost in the blankness of the page. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
That's it?" "That's it. And then you jump in. It's all just tradition. I mean, ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
It was a shock to see them go, ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Julia had been very very good for a very long time, and the funny thing about that was, if you're too good too much of the time, people start to forget about you. You're not a problem, so people can strike you off their list of things to worry about. Nobody makes a fuss over you. They make a fuss over the bad girls. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
We having nothing to fear but fear itself. That, and maybe getting mugged by someone wearing a "No Fear" t-shirt. ~ Lev L. Spiro
Lev quotes by Lev L. Spiro
We among all animals were cursed with a longing for somewhere better, somewhere that never existed and never would. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
He hit terminal velocity and kept accelerating, ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
What is written with a sword cannot be erased. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Shit was getting geological, yo. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
That got some appreciative laughter, though he wasn't joking, and the bird didn't laugh. It didn't answer him either. Quentin couldn't read its face; like all birds, it had only one expression. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
About as close you can get to the perfect cerebral thriller: searingly smart, ridiculously funny, and fast as hell ... I defy anybody to read the first page and not keep going to the last. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Tomorrow I'll take you out to see the gold beetles. They're amazing: they eat dirt and poop out gold ore. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
You. Killed. A. Hermit. You. Weird. Sweaty. Bastard! ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Moral people are the most revengeful of mankind, they employ their morality as the best and most subtle weapon of vengeance. They are not satisfied with simply despising and condemning their neighbour themselves, they want the condemnation to be universal and supreme: that is, that all men should rise as one against the condemned, and that even the offender's own conscience shall be against him. Then only are they fully satisfied and reassured. Nothing on earth but morality could lead to such wonderful results. ~ Lev Shestov
Lev quotes by Lev Shestov
What makes you think what happened to you on Earth wasn't an adventure? ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
The trick is to smoke a cigarette to calm your nerves and then take a big swig of strong liquor to tone your muscles. ~ Lev Yashin
Lev quotes by Lev Yashin
You cannot study magic. You cannot learn it. You must ingest it. Digest it. You must merge with it. And it with you. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Even in a gleefully negative comic, there is optimism, although it's slightly hidden: It comes out through a comic character's sheer tenacity. He keeps going and trying to find some sort of fulfillment regardless of his perpetual failure record. That's a form of hope, a form of optimism. Really hokey I know, but it's true. ~ Lev Yilmaz
Lev quotes by Lev Yilmaz
He'd been free his whole life, if only he'd known it. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
He imagined another life for himself as one of these silent scholars, buried in his research like a guinea pig in its wood shavings, nibbling away steadily after some arcane piece of knowledge in the hope of making an addition, however imperceptible, to the collective pile. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
I am lost in every possible way-Lev ~ Neal Shusterman
Lev quotes by Neal Shusterman
An elephant fell off a cliff, a copper cliff, which practically broke my heart. Elephants and gravity, not a great mix. But you know what? The other elephants immediately stopped and went down and found what was left of it and stood around it in a ring. I couldn't see what they did, but when they were done - it took a day - the one that fell was all back together and up and running again. They resurrected him, I've never seen anything like it. Elephants, they know some shit. I don't know why we rule them, they should rule us. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Magic doesn't come from talent, it comes from pain. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Any unique image that you desire probably already exists on the internet or in some database ... the problem today is no longer how to create the right image, but how to find an already existing one. ~ Lev Manovich
Lev quotes by Lev Manovich
The question eventually must be raised: Is it a criminal offense to take the name of the Lord in vain? When people curse their parents, it unquestionably is a capital crime (Ex. 21:17). The son or daughter is under the lawful jurisdiction of the family. The integrity of the family must be maintained by the threat of death. Clearly, cursing God (blasphemy) is a comparable crime, and is therefore a capital crime (Lev. 24:16). ~ Gary North
Lev quotes by Gary North
There is reason to believe that voluntary activity, more than highly developed intellect, distinguishes humans from the animals which stand closest to them. ~ Lev S. Vygotsky
Lev quotes by Lev S. Vygotsky
It's time to live with what we have and mourn what we lost. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Damn right! The time of your life! Gotta wrap up all those life events, all those parties, into one - birthdays, wedding, funeral." THen he turns to their father. "Very efficient, right, Dad?" ...
"Here's to my brother, Lev," Marcus says. "And to our parents! Who have always done the right thing. The appropriate thing. Who have always given generously to charity. Who have always given 10 percent of everything to our church. Hey, Mom - we're lucky you had ten kids instead of five, otherwise we'd end up having to cut Lev off at the waist! ~ Neal Shusterman
Lev quotes by Neal Shusterman
I came from an anxious, overly intense East Coast academic family. That was the way of our tribe. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
If you need to talk about your childhood, you're safe with me. If you need to break into a million pieces, I'm right here, Lev. I'll find them all, I'm good at details, and I'll put you back together. You're safe here. ~ Christine Feehan
Lev quotes by Christine Feehan
One thing had always confused Quentin about the magic he read about in books: it never seemed especially hard to do. There were lots of furrowed brows and thick books and long white beards and whatnot, but when it came right down to it, you memorized the incantation - or you just read it off the page, if that was too much trouble - you collected the herbs, waved the wand, rubbed the lamp, mixed the potion, said the words - and just like that the forces of the beyond did your bidding. It was like making salad dressing or driving stick or assembling Ikea furniture - just another skill you could learn. It took some time and effort, but compared to doing calculus, say, or playing the oboe - well, there really was no comparison. Any idiot could do magic. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
a bunch of depressed, overeducated shut-ins, but they seemed human to her. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
I've drunk Amazon's free Diet Coke. Nothing makes more sense to me than a company trying to make bookselling into a profitable business. I'm not anti-Amazon, and I'm not pro-publishers either. I'm pro-books. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
I don't know how to phrase this exactly but what the fuck? ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
This game could last for days if I keep going unconscious."
"Or it could be over very quickly."
Lev takes a deep breath and tries not to show any more fear than he has to. "Sounds exciting. I'm in. ~ Neal Shusterman
Lev quotes by Neal Shusterman
She'd been in math classes with Quentin since they were ten years old, and anything he could do she could do just as well, backward and in high heels if necessary. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
He was aware for the first time of how quiet the city had gotten. After dark the streets and canals seemed to empty out. As if Venice felt less of an obligation to pretend to be part of this millennium at night, and had reverted to its medieval self again. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
She points to the door. "Leave!"
"No." So she picks up a hairbrush and throws it at him. It beans him on the head and ricochets to the wall, where it wedges behind the TV.
"Ow!" He grabs his head, grimacing. "That hurt!"
"Good, it was supposed to. ~ Neal Shusterman
Lev quotes by Neal Shusterman
Play continually creates demands on the child to act against immediate impulse, i.e., to act according to the line of greatest resistance. ~ Lev S. Vygotsky
Lev quotes by Lev S. Vygotsky
Dear Q,

Hell of a thing getting you out of that dungeon. Richard showed up, finally, for which I suppose we should be grateful, though G-d knows he doesn't make it easy.

We wanted to stay, Q, but it was hard, and getting harder every day. The centaurs said it wasn't working. But if you're reading this then you woke up after all. I'm sorry about everything. I know you are too. I know I said I didn't need a family to become who I was supposed to be, but it turned out that I did. And it was you.

We'll meet again.

-E ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
I ought to at least be able to read literature in French. I went to an enlightened grade school that started us on French in fifth grade, which meant that by the time I graduated high school I had been at it for eight years. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
But not even the end of the world was going to stop Janet from being a bitch. It was the principle of the thing. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Use magic in anger, and you will harm yourself much more quickly than you will harm your adversary. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Islam united all heresies persecuted in Byzantine Empire and synthesised them well into a conseffion that later became a symbol of Arab self-affirmation. ~ Lev Gumilev
Lev quotes by Lev Gumilev
They had a choice to make: go on, or go home. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
By giving our students practice in talking with others, we give them frames for thinking on their own. ~ Lev S. Vygotsky
Lev quotes by Lev S. Vygotsky
He had often suspected that the young carriage driver had a particular affection for him. He had even wanted to indulge it on occasion, but was unsure if that would be improper. To make love to someone else's help seemed perfectly acceptable, but to make love to your own help seemed a mite graceless, as though you couldn't find lovers outside your immediate household. ~ Lev A.C. Rosen
Lev quotes by Lev A.C. Rosen
Language and reality are kept strictly apart - reality is tough, unyielding stuff, and it doesn't care what you think or feel or say about it. Or it shouldn't. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Even Pushkin, who could understand everything, did not grasp the real significance of Dead Souls. He thought that the author was grieving for Russia, ignorant, savage, and outdistanced by the other nations. But it is not only in Russia that Gogol discovers "dead souls." All men, great and small, seem to him lunatics, lifeless, automata which obediently and mechanically carry out commandments imposed on them from without. They eat, they drink, they sin, they multiply; with stammering tongue they pronounce meaningless words. No trace of free will, no sparkle of understanding, not the slightest wish to awake from their thousand-year sleep. ~ Lev Shestov
Lev quotes by Lev Shestov
When I got to college I simply decided that I could speak French, because I just could not spend any more time in French classes. I went ahead and took courses on French literature, some of them even taught in French. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
I'm taking a shower."
Oh, God. She was killing him. Making him want to laugh out loud. Where had his sense of self-preservation gone? He didn't feel emotion - that was far too dangerous. He shivered beneath the blankets, suddenly afraid for her. For himself.
"You're still cold. I should have thought to rub you down with some warm oil. Lexi makes it and I use it sometimes when I come in from a dive. It warms you up fast. Can you roll over, because I'm not rubbing your front."
"Why not?"
"If you want a massage, turn over. ~ Christine Feehan
Lev quotes by Christine Feehan
Free Trader Beowulf - you had to be at least forty and a recovering pen-and-paper role-playing-gamer to get the reference, but it was apt. Google it. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
He felt like he was coming back to life too. Not that he'd been dead, just ... not quite alive. Something else. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
I've got no other home to go to, not anymore. When I look at England now I see a dead place, Rupert. A wasteland. I won't live in a wasteland. I'd rather die in paradise. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Lev Vygotsky, the great Russian psychologist, used to speak of "thinking in pure meanings." I cannot decide whether this is nonsense or profound truth - it is the sort of reef I end up on when I think about thinking. ~ Oliver Sacks
Lev quotes by Oliver Sacks
He was in the right place. He was living his best life. How many other people in the multiverse could say that? ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Who hadn't at some point in his life wanted to climb to the top of a sailing ship in full flight? ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
A child's greatest achievements are possible in play, achievements that tomorrow will become her basic level of real action. ~ Lev Vygotsky
Lev quotes by Lev Vygotsky
It is necessary to choose: if you wish to be an empiricist, you must abandon the hope of founding scientific knowledge on a solid and certain basis; if you wish to have a solidly established science, you must place it under the protection of the idea of Necessity and, in addition, recognize this idea as primordial, original, having no beginning and consequently no end - that is to say, you must endow it with the superiorities and qualities that men generally accord to the S ~ Lev Shestov
Lev quotes by Lev Shestov
I studied the cello for a long time, from when I was little up through college. ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
The gods were great, but what good was greatness if you didn't love? ~ Lev Grossman
Lev quotes by Lev Grossman
Probably falling in love is always a little like that: You discover that one other person who understands what no one else seems to, which is that the world is broken and can never, ever be fixed. You can stop pretending, at least for a little while. You can both admit it, if only to each other. ~ Lev Grossman
