“If it were today, I would have her heart cut out, true. But then I would have her head and arms and legs cut off. I would have them disembowel her. And then I would watch, in the town square, as the hangman heated the fire to white-heat with bellows, watch unblinking as he consigned each part of her to the fire.

Olyannyira megtetszettek p茅ld谩ul neki a budai v谩rban 1526-ban felfedezett hatalmas 茅rcszobrok, hogy azokat Isztambulba sz谩ll铆ttatta, 茅s 鈥 b谩r a mohamed谩n felfog谩s tiltotta az ember谩br谩zol谩st 鈥 fel is 谩ll铆ttatta a v谩ros egyik legforgalmasabb hely茅n, az At mejd谩non. Egy cs铆p艖s nyelv疟 ortodox k枚lt艖 az al谩bbi versezettel adott hangot nemtetsz茅s茅nek:
"k茅t Ibrahim 茅lt a f枚ld枚n,
az egyik [a bibliai 脕brah谩m] 枚sszet枚rette a b谩lv谩nyokat
a m谩sik 煤jb贸l 茅letre keltette azokat."
(Ibrahim v谩laszul kiv茅geztette a versel艖t.)”

And when someone trusts you, they鈥檙e willing to emotionally connect with you. That connection, that bond, is invaluable, both in personal relationships and organizational loyalty and growth. When people feel trust and connection, they allow themselves to be taken on a journey, and that鈥檚 what makes it possible to create something truly special.”

They had kept their dignity right up to the moment when the drum roll stopped and the blade fell. Then, too late, they screamed like children.
As I would have done. The thought popped unwelcome into his head.”
