It wasn't a cheerful composite. As a memory, it is more like a fog bank than a sunlit meadow. Yet I think of that... Margaret Atwood

Well, I think, I certainly used backward music in Sea of Monsters. I can't remember in the Sea of Time. I would tend to do that all the time, you know? I tended to do all sorts of weird things. Just to get effects. George Martin
All that passes is raised to the dignity of expression; all that happens is raised to the dignity of meaning. Everything is either symbol or parable. Paul Claudel
The foreign accent was a promise, and indeed, all over the country, European imports added spice to the sciences, the arts, and other areas. What one had to give was not considered inferior to what one received. Rudolf Arnheim
Before marriage she had completely mastered my imagination, for she was a secret to me; and I created the unknown thought before which I trembled as if it were hers. George Eliot
Lin Yutang quote: "Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road,..."
Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence. Lin Yutang
