Daniel Defoe
Do you ever just want to take your car out onto the highway and gun the engine as fastas you can and then close your eyes and see what happens? Doug Coupland

If I had eyes in the back of my head, I would have told you you looked good as I walked away. Jack Johnson
And there I was, 225 pounds, perpetually lost and confused, short legs, ape-like upper body, all chest, no neck, head too large, blurred eyes, hair uncombed, 6 feet of geek, waiting for her. Charles Bukowski
Those big blue eyes were swimming, and he was afraid that if the first tear fell, he would break and carry her off anywhere she wanted to go. Nora Roberts
