Some minds are wonderful for keeping their bloom in this way, as a patriarchal gold-fish apparently retains to the last its youthful illusion that it can swim in a straight line beyond the encircling glass. George Eliot
I would browse for half an hour or so in the secondhand bookstores in the neighborhood. Owning my own 'library' was my only materialistic ambition; in fact, trying to decide which two of these thousands of books to buy that week, I would frequently get so excited that by the time the purchase was accomplished I had to make use of the bookseller's toilet facilities. I don't believe that either microbe or laxative has ever affected me so strongly as the discovery that I was all at once the... Philip Roth
Lewis Mumford quote: "Restore human legs as a means of travel. Pedestrians rely on..."
Restore human legs as a means of travel. Pedestrians rely on food for fuel and need no special parking facilities. Lewis Mumford
Gerry Mulligan quote: "I've always wanted a C trumpet on top, to have that same kind..."
I've always wanted a C trumpet on top, to have that same kind of facility without shouting. Gerry Mulligan
Michel de Montaigne quote: "Virtue rejects facility to be her companion. She requires a..."
Virtue rejects facility to be her companion. She requires a craggy, rough and thorny way. Michel de Montaigne
I get hired by companies to hack into their systems and break into their physical facilities to find security holes. Our success rate is 100%; we've always found a hole. Kevin Mitnick
Jeff Miller quote: "Second, the facility at Guantanamo Bay is necessary to..."
Second, the facility at Guantanamo Bay is necessary to national security. Jeff Miller
It definitely helps to have been through the arm training flow before and to have used the arm on orbit, and it also gives me the confidence to know that our training facilities are really good, that when you get up there, you feel like you've been there. Linda M. Godwin
Married and divorced, three beautiful daughters, two in college. The other one is 16, lives with her mom. I'm 46, I've worked for the Post Office for 18 years, seven facilities in three states. Arthur Godfrey
The great medical facilities are a relief for the parents, too, who don't have to think about caring for their young ones on their own for a weekend. They have a great time. Jami Gertz
