• And if Sarah Palin whose Web site put and today scrubbed bull's-eyes targets on 20 Representatives, including Gabby Giffords, does not repudiate her own part - however tangential - in amplifying violence and violent imagery in American politics, she must be dismissed from politics. She must be repudiated by the members of her own party. And if they fail to do so, each one of them must be judged to have silently defended this tactic that today proved so awfully foretelling. And they must in turn be dismissed by the responsible members of their own party.

  Keith Olbermann

• Our fate is something which exists outside ourselves, and which once revealed expresses the meaning of our lives. Apart, however, from soothsayers who claim to have a means of foretelling exactly what will befall us, this kind of fate is only normally revealed after a life has ended. Only then can the meaning of that life be understood.

• Un tizón había caído sobre los árboles y los arbustos; y el viento, que por fin empezaba a romper la antinatural quietud que había prevalecido todo el día, suspiraba pesadamente de vez en cuando, como presagiando con dolor los estragos de la tormenta que se avecinaba. El murciélago planeaba en fantásticos vuelos a través del pesado aire, y el suelo estaba lleno de seres rastreros, cuyo instinto los llevaba a hincharse y engordar bajo la lluvia.

• By not foretelling the ending to yourself, as a writer, you're able to open up the canvas and say, "I'm going to go here. I'm going to go there." It's just a little bit more freeing than a stand-alone procedural, where you work backwards from the end.
