In the morning I walked down the Boulevard for coffee and brioche. It was a fine morning. The horse-chestnut trees in the Luxembourg gardens were in bloom. There was the pleasant early-morning feeling of a hot day. I read the papers with the coffee and then smoked a cigarette. The flower-women were coming up from the market and arranging their daily stock. Students went by going up to the law school, or down to the Sorbonne. The Boulevard was busy with trams and people going to work.

If a writer of prose knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water.

How little we know of what there is to know. I wish that I were going to live a long time instead of going to die today because I have learned much about life in these four days; more, I think than in all other time. I�d like to be an old man to really know. I wonder if you keep on learning or if there is only a certain amount each man can understand. I thought I knew so many things that I know nothing of. I wish there was more time.

He remembered the time he had hooked one of a pair of marlin. The male fish always let the female fish feed first and the hooked fish, the female, made a wild, panic-stricken, despairing fight that soon exhausted her, and all the time the male had stayed with her, crossing the line and circling with her on the surface.

He had stayed so close that the old man was afraid he would cut the line with his tail which was sharp as a scythe and almost of that size and shape. When the old man had gaffed her and clubbed her, holding the rapier bill with its sandpaper edge and clubbing her across the top of her head until her colour turned to a colour almost like the backing of mirrors, and then, with the boy�s aid, hoisted her aboard, the male fish had stayed by the side of the boat.

/Users/jesse/Google Drive/Elucidate/TCRecoveries/Proof of Concept/Audio_Files/Training/Recording (6).wav

Then, while the old man was clearing the lines and preparing the harpoon, the male fish jumped high into the air beside the boat to see where the female was and then went down deep, his lavender wings, that were his pectoral fins, spread wide and all his wide lavender stripes showing. He was beautiful, the old man remembered, and he had stayed.

If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansions, though not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him.�

The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats. At one end of it a coloured poster, too large for indoor display, had been tacked to the wall. It depicted simply an enormous face, more than a metre wide: the face of a man of about forty-five, with a heavy black moustache and ruggedly handsome features.

Winston made for the stairs. It was no use trying the lift. Even at the best of times it was seldom working, and at present the electric current was cut off during daylight hours.

It was part of the economy drive in preparation for Hate Week. The flat was seven flights up, and Winston, who was thirty-nine and had a varicose ulcer above his right ankle, went slowly, resting several times on the way.

On each landing, opposite the lift-shaft, the poster with the enormous face gazed from the wall. It was one of those pictures which are so contrived that the eyes follow you about when you move. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption beneath it ran.�

/Users/jesse/Google Drive/Elucidate/TCRecoveries/Proof of Concept/Audio_Files/Training/Recording (13).wav

The voice came from an oblong metal plaque like a dulled mirror which formed part of the surface of the right-hand wall. Winston turned a switch and the voice sank somewhat, though the words were still distinguishable.�

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.�And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness�was�upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.� And God saw the light, that�it was�good: and God divided the light from the darkness.�And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:�and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

I don't think that you have any insight whatsoever into your capacity for good until you have some well-developed insight into your capacity for evil.

To stand up straight with your shoulders back is to accept the terrible responsibility of life, with eyes wide open.

/Users/jesse/Google Drive/Elucidate/TCRecoveries/Proof of Concept/Audio_Files/Training/Recording (19).wav

The truth is something that burns. It burns off dead wood. And people don't like having the dead wood burnt off, often because they're 95 percent dead wood.

Adopt responsibility for your own well-being, try to put your family together, try to serve your community, try to seek for eternal truth... That's the sort of thing that can ground you in your life, enough so that you can withstand the difficulty of life.

He had successfully avoided meeting his landlady on the staircase. His garret was under the roof of a high, five-storied house, and was more like a cupboard than a room.

Some time past, he had been in an over-strained, irritable condition, verging on hypochondria. He had become so completely absorbed in himself

The heat in the street was terrible: and the airlessness, the bustle and the plaster, scaffolding, bricks, and dust all about him, and that special Petersburg stench, so familiar to all who are unable to get out of town in summer

This book was published in 2000, the year Putin became president. He sat down with three Russian journalists over the course of three days and answered their questions pretty frankly. A lot of it�s personal: about his childhood, how he became a spy, and how he was caught on the hop in Germany when the Berlin Wall fell.

The belly is an ungrateful wretch, it never remembers past favors, it always wants more tomorrow.

But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?

You only have power over people as long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in your power�he's free again.

You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.

Only those who decline to scramble up the career ladder are interesting as human beings. Nothing is more boring than a man with a career.

Bless you prison, bless you for being in my life. For there, lying upon the rotting prison straw, I came to realize that the object of life is not prosperity as we are made to believe, but the maturity of the human soul.

/Users/jesse/Google Drive/Elucidate/TCRecoveries/Proof of Concept/Audio_Files/Training/Recording (32).wav

The meaning of earthly existence lies not, as we have grown used to thinking, in prospering but in the development of the soul.

Human rights' are a fine thing, but how can we make ourselves sure that our rights do not expand at the expense of the rights of others. A society with unlimited rights is incapable of standing to adversity.�

The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.

Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.

Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . . If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.

The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

/Users/jesse/Google Drive/Elucidate/TCRecoveries/Proof of Concept/Audio_Files/Training/Recording (45).wav

When two opposite points of view are expressed with equal intensity, the truth does not necessarily lie exactly halfway between them. It is possible for one side to be simply wrong.

There's real poetry in the real world. Science is the poetry of reality.

/Users/jesse/Google Drive/Elucidate/TCRecoveries/Proof of Concept/Audio_Files/Training/Recording (47).wav

It is an astounding fact that we, evolved beings, have brains in our heads which are capable of understanding why we�re here and where we come from and where the world comes from and where the world�s going.

/Users/jesse/Google Drive/Elucidate/TCRecoveries/Proof of Concept/Audio_Files/Training/Recording (48).wav

By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.

Let us try to teach generosity and altruism, because we are born selfish.
