Nora Ephron quote: "As Harry puts it, men and women can never be friends because..."

Only in his consciousness, which in any case must soon be annihilated...'Who controls the past,' ran the Party slogan,'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'... All that was needed was a series of victories over your own memory. George Orwell
In the midst of her tears came the thought, "When people are in danger, they ask God to save them;" and, slipping down upon her knees, she said her prayer as she had never said it before, for when human help seems gone we turn to Him as naturally as lost children cry to their father, and feel sure that he will hear and answer them.

The richer people at the top of a society become, supposedly, the more wealth there is to trickle down to the people below.

Philip Pullman quote: "When you choose one way out of many, all the ways you don't..."
When you choose one way out of many, all the ways you don't take are snuffed out like candles, as if they'd never existed. Philip Pullman

When When it’s over, it’s over, and we don’t know any of us, what happens then. So I try not to miss anything. I think, in my whole life, I have never missed The full moon or the slipper of its coming back. Or, a kiss. Well, yes, especially a kiss. Mary Oliver
