The lakes are something which you are unprepared for; they lie up so high, exposed to the light, and the forest is diminished to a fine fringe on their edges, with here and there a blue mountain, like amethyst jewels set around some jewel of the first water, - so anterior, so superior, to all the changes that are to take place on their shores, even now civil and refined, and fair as they can ever be.

But if you tell folks you're a college student, folks are so impressed. You can be a student in anything and not have to know anything. Just say toxicology or marine biokinesis, and the person you're talking to will change the subject to himself. If this doesn't work, mention the neural synapses of embryonic pigeons. Chuck Palahniuk
Emily Dickinson quote: "There are, that resting, rise. Can I expound the skies? How..."
There are, that resting, rise. Can I expound the skies? How still the riddle lies! Emily Dickinson

The police are asking through the bedroom door, why did I make a batch of strawberry daiquiris before I called them? Because we were out of raspberries. Because, can't they see, it just does not matter. Time was not of the essence. Chuck Palahniuk
Alyssa Milano quote: "Time is an amazing enigma in which seeds that were planted can..."
Time is an amazing enigma in which seeds that were planted can turn into a vibrant garden if properly pruned. Alyssa Milano
It is too late. I love him. I know it may bring me grief, and I can't do a thing about it. Mr. Congreve was right about love being a frailty of the mind. John Jakes
What kind of country is this where a woman can't weep her heart out on the highways and byways without being tormented by retired bill-brokers! Samuel Beckett
The words are clear as in the reflection of the world on the water. Therefore write the Word at once, everywhere, from now till your hand is paralyzed, for THERE will be your work for GOD, since you can not work for God in other ways, and would not, & don't know how, or bend that way, from habit, & from talent in the use & signification & arrangement of the Word. Jack Kerouac
