"Paulýne nezle olmustu. Nana, Petrova ile Posy'yi yuruyuse cikardiginda evde kaldi. Simdi ne yapacakti? Sylvia ona bir parca kumas ve renkli iplikler vermisti; Nana'ya dogum gununde hediye edecegi masa ortusune baslayabilirdi. Asci onu kahve ve bonbon yapmaya davet etmisti. Clara ona kopyalanacak kagitlar getirmis ve bunlari 'hastanedeki zavalli bir cocuga verilecek' bir kitabin uzerine yapistirmasini onermisti. Nana nezle olanlarin nasil hissettigini cok iyi bildiginden ona pirinç parlaticisi ile oyuncak evin pirinc parcalariniuzatmisti.
'Geri geldigimizde bunlar piril piril olsun,' demisti sertce. 'Yapacak hicbir seyin olmamasindan iyidir.' "

"Pauline had a cold, and she was left at home when Nana took Petrova and Posy for their walk. She was in that state ohhaving a cold when nothing is very nice to do. Sylvia had got her a piece of linen and some col- ored thread, and she could have started on the dressing- table cover she was going to give Nana for her birthday. Cook had invited her to come to the kitchen and make toffee. Clara brought in a page of transfers, and suggested she stick them on a book to 'Give to a poor child in a hospital.' Nana, who remembered how one felt with colds, gave her some brass polish and the sets of brass out of the dolls’ house.
'I expect those to shine when we get in,' she said firmly. 'Much better to have something to do. No good sitting around thinking how miserable you feel.' ”

''Insanin yureginden hic bir sey silinmez. Bir seye gercekten inandiginda onu yureginin kirmizi kadife katmanlarina yerlestirirsen bir daha asla oradan cikmaz. Ne olursa olsun orada seni bekler.

"It to mean that if you took something to heart, really brought it inside those red velvet folds, then it would always be there for you. No matter what happened, it would be there waiting, this could mean a person, a place, a dream or a mission or anything sacred. That it is all connected in those secret folds.It is all part of the same and will always be there, carrying the same beat as your heart."
“Harry Bosch tum hayati boyunca bir misyonu olduguna inanmisti. Ve bu misyonu yerine getirebilmek icin kursun gecirmez olmaliydi. Hicbir sey ve hic kimsenin ona zarar vermemesi icin hem kendisini hem de hayatini dayanikli, saglam kilmaliydi. Tum bunlar daha once varligindan haberi olmadigi kiziyla tanistirildigi gun degismisti. O an hem kurtuldugunu hem de kayboldugunu biliyordu. Artik tum dunyaya sonsuza dek ancak bir babanin bilebilecegi sekilde baglanacakti. Ama ayni zamanda kayip biri de olacakti, cunku yuzlestigi karanlik guclerin bir gun kizini bulacagini biliyordu.” 9 Ejderha

“All his life Harry Bosch believed he had a mission. And to carry out that mission he needed to be bulletproof. He needed to build himself and his life so that he was invulnerable, so that nothing and no one could ever get to him. All of that changed on the day he was introduced to the daughter he didn’t know he had. In that moment he knew he was both saved and lost. He would be forever connected to the world in the way only a father knew. But he would also be lost because he knew the dark forces he faced would one day find her.”

"Afrika'daki parali askerlerin hakkindan geldikten sonra sahit oldugu bir cinayet, Jason Bourne'un bulanik hafizasinda kimi anilarin uyanmasina yol acar. Ozellikle de Bali'deyken kendisine, uzerinde garip birtakim yazilar bulunan, insanlarin ele gecirmek icin cinayetler isledigi bir yuzuk ve onu emanet eden genc bir kadin hakkindaki anilarin.

Birileri, hangisinin daha acimasiz bir ajan oldugunu bilmek icin ulkelerin kaderini degistirebilecek bir olum oyununu baslatmislardir."
https://www.ericvanlustbader.com/wp-...-objective.jpg
"Facing down mercenaries in Africa, Jason Bourne witnesses the death of an art dealer named Tracy Atherton. Her killing dredges up snatches of Bourne's impaired memory, in particular the murder of a young woman on Bali who entrusted him with a strangely engraved ring an artifact of such powerful significance that people have killed to obtain it. Now he's determined to find the ring's owner and purpose. But Bourne never knows what terrible acts he'll discover he committed when he digs into the past. The trail will lead him through layers of conspiracy to a vicious Russian mercenary, Leonid Arkadin, who was also a graduate of the Central Intelligence training program Treadstone. A covert course designed to create ruthless assassins for C.I., it was shuttered by Congress for corruption. Yet before it was dismantled, it produced Bourne and Arkadin, giving them equal skills, equal force, and equal cunning."

"In 1863 the Russian writer was still thirty, fifty, or even two hundred years behind his German or French contemporaries. Yet in some few years he will have caught and passed everyone, having rejected the myth of the superhuman before it had even seized occidental imaginings!"
"Baba-ogul rekabeti siki bir benzerlik icerir. Ogul babanin arzuladigi seyi arzular. Babanin gururu ogula engel olur ve bunu yaparak onun gururunu guclendirir. Bu durumda, zorba babaya baskaldiran kole-ogulun isledigi suc, baba cinayeti tam da bir yeralti tragedyasi gibi gorunur. Cunku babayla ogul bir anlamda aynidir, baba cinayeti hem cinayet, hem de intihardir; ozunde, iki sucun farki yoktur birbirinden."

"The rivalry of father and son implies a strict resemblance. The son desires what the father desires. The pride of the father thwarts the son and, in so doing, fortifies his pride in turn. Parricide, the crime of the son-slave committed against a tyrant father, thus comes into view as the underground tragedy par excellence. Because father and son are, in a sense, identical, parricide is simultaneously murder ... In origin the two crimes are not differentiated."

“You think about your acts, therefore you have to believe your acts are as important as you think they are, when in reality nothing of what one does is important. Nothing! But then if nothing really matters, as you ask me, how can I go on living? It would be simple to die; that’s what you say and believe, because you're thinking about life, just as you're thinking now what seeing would be like. You want me to describe it to you so you can begin to think about it, the way you do with everything else. In the case of seeing , however, thinking is not the issue at all, so I cannot tell you what it is like to see . Now you want me to describe the reasons for my controlled folly and I can only tell you that controlled folly is very much like seeing ; it is something you cannot think about.”
