In the game of thrones, even h=the humblest of pieces can have wills of their own. Sometimes they refuse to make the moves you've planned for them. George R. R. Martin
If you want to marry me, here's what you'll have to do: You must learn how to make a perfect chicken-dumpling stew. And you must sew my holey socks, And soothe my troubled mind, And develop the knack for scratching my back, And keep my shoes spotlessly shined. And while I rest you must rake up the leaves, And when it is hailing and snowing. You must shovel the walk... and be still when I talk, And-hey-where are you going? Shel Silverstein
George Grossmith quote: "It's the diary that makes the man."
It's the diary that makes the man. George Grossmith
I've never been in love, but I've always imagined it--weirdly--like some sort of OxiClean commercial. The TV host shows a scene from an ordinary day, and then takes a big old sponge soaked in love and swipes away the stains. Suddenly that same scene is missing all the mistakes, all the loneliness. The colors are like jewels, ten times richer than they were before. The music is louder and clearer. "Love," the host will say, "makes life a little brighter. Jodi Picoult

Georg C. Lichtenberg quote: "To make a vow is a greater sin than to break one."
To make a vow is a greater sin than to break one. Georg C. Lichtenberg
It does not make sense. It cannot exist. It's impossible, and if it isn't impossible, it's irrelevant, and if it isn't either of those things, it's embarrassing. Philip Pullman
Gold is a way of going long on fear, and it has been a pretty good way of going long on fear from time to time. But you really have to hope people become more afraid in a year or two years than they are now. And if they become more afraid you make money, if they become less afraid you lose money, but the gold itself doesn’t produce anything. Warren Buffett
Terry Prachett quote: "Yes, but nomes aren’t hard to make,” said Dorcas. “You just..."
Yes, but nomes aren’t hard to make,” said Dorcas. “You just need other nomes.” “You’re weird. Terry Prachett
I am a degenerate modern semi-intellectual who would die if I did not get my early morning cup of tea and my New Statesman every Friday. Clearly I do not, in a sense, 'want' to return to a simpler, harder, probably agricultural way of life.

George Orwell
