Spend all you have for loveliness, Buy it and never count the cost; For one white singing hour of peace... Sara Teasdale

Certainly I have seldom wished the conversation of strangers or the sight of strange faces. I believe rather that when I was alone I felt I had in some fashion lost my individuality; to the thrush and the rabbit I had been not Severian, but Man. The many people who like to be utterly alone, and particularly to be utterly alone in a wilderness, do so, I believe, because they enjoy... Gene Wolfe

How many times have I told you not to hit people in the face. You kick them in the body where it doesn't show. Janet Evanovich
But you have such dimples," said Anne, smiling affectionately into the pretty, vivacious face so near her own. "Lovely dimples, like little dents in cream. I have given up all hope of dimples. My dimple-dream will never come true; but so many of my dreams have that I mustn't complain. Am I all ready now? L. M. Montgomery
