For a few seconds they looked silently into each other's eyes, and the distant and impossible suddenly became near, possible, and inevitable. Leo Tolstoy
Terry Prachett quote: "And if you couldn't trust the government, who could you trust?..."
And if you couldn't trust the government, who could you trust? Very nearly everyone, come to think of it... Terry Prachett
People think genius a fine thing if it enables a man to write an exciting poem, or paint a picture, But in its true sense, that of originality in thought and action, though no one says that it is not a thing to be admired, nearly all, at heart, think that they can do very well without it.

Jodi Picoult quote: "Life isn't nearly as stable as we want it to be."
Life isn't nearly as stable as we want it to be. Jodi Picoult

I was wondering if it would be frozen over when I got home, and if it was, where did the ducks go? I was wondering where the ducks went when the lagoon got all icy and frozen over. I wondered if some guy came in a truck and took them away to a zoo or something. Or if they just flew away. J. D. Salinger
Breathing, for example, was never taken for granted, since, half the time, thanks to the many chemical works and refineries, it was nearly impossible. Mark Helprin
As nearly as possible in the spirit of Matthew Salinger, age one, urging a luncheon companion to accept a cool lima bean, I urge my editor, mentor and (heaven help him) closest friend, William Shawn, genius domus of The New Yorker, lover of the long shot, protector of the unprolific, defender of the hopelessly flamboyant, most unreasonably modest of born great artist-editors to accept this pretty skimpy-looking book. J. D. Salinger
