When I leave town now I never tell my people where I am going. If I did, I would lose all my pleasure. It is a silly habit, I dare say, but somehow it seems to bring a great deal of romance into... Oscar Wilde
The sixth grade seemed to please him from the beginning: he went through a brief Egyptian Period that baffled me - he tried to walk flat a great deal, sticking one arm in front of him and one in back of him, putting one foot behind the other.

Pythagoras quote: "Do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in few!"
Do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in few! Pythagoras
