“This hollow of the world, round like a sphere, cannot itself, become of its quality or shape, be wholly visible. Choose any place high on the sphere from which to look down, and you cannot see bottom from there. Because of this, many believe it has the same quality as place. They believe it is visible after a fashion, but only through shapes of the forms whose images seem to be imprinted when one shows a picture of it. In itself, however, the real thing remains always invisible. Hence, the bottom - {if it is a part or a place} in the sphere - is called Haides in Greek because in Greek 'to see' is idein, and there is no-seeing the bottom of a sphere. And the forms are called 'ideas' because they are visible forms. The (regions) called Haides in Greek because they are deprived of visibility are called 'infernal' in Latin because they are at the bottom of the sphere.

Such, then, are the original things, the primeval things, the sources or beginnings of all, as it were, for all are in them or from them or through them.”
― Brian P. Copenhaver, Hermetica: The Greek Corpus Hermeticum and the Latin Asclepius

“İki tane getiri potansiyeli vardır. Biri, şirketlerin dağıttığı temettüdür. Warren Buffet’ın ünlü bir sözü vardır: “ İnek sütü için hisse senedi temettüsü için.” Bu birinci getiridir. İkincisi de şirketin değer kazanmasıdır. Şirketin karı arttıkça şirket de muhtemelen değer kazanmış olacaktır.”
― Murat Sağman, Borsada Oynanmaz

“Her first thought was that he had come back because of her; because of her, he had changed his destiny. Now he would no longer be responsible for her; now she was responsible for him.

The responsibility, she felt, seemed to require more strength than she could muster.”
