I agree with you," replied the stranger; "we are unfashioned creatures, but half made up, if one wiser, better, dearer than ourselves -- such a friend ought to be -- do not lend his aid to perfectionate our weak and faulty natures.

But I -- I have lost everything, and cannot begin life anew. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Written things are not for speech; their form is literary; they are stiff, inflexible, and will not lend themselves to happy and effective delivery with the tongue--where their purpose is to merely entertain, not instruct; they have to be limbered up, broken up, colloquialized and turned into common forms of premeditated talk--otherwise they will bore the house and not entertain it.

The everlasting universe of things. Flows through the mind, and rolls its rapid waves, Now dark--now glittering--now reflecting gloom--Now lending splendour, where from secret springs. The source of human thought its tribute brings. Percy Bysshe Shelley
Ambrose Bierce quote: "acquaintance, n.: A person whom we know well enough to borrow..."
acquaintance, n.: A person whom we know well enough to borrow from, but not well enough to lend to. Ambrose Bierce
Edward Everett Hale quote: "Look up and not down; look out and not in; look forward and..."
Look up and not down; look out and not in; look forward and not back, and lend a hand. Edward Everett Hale
This Power Elite directly employs several millions of the countrys working force in its factories, offices and stores, controls many millions more by lending them the money to buy its products, and, through its ownership of the media of mass communication, influences the thoughts, the feelings and the actions of virtually everybody. To parody the words of W. Churchill, never have so many been manipulated so much by few. Aldous Huxley
