The fear that dwells inside a man. What's it like to be a loon. I liken it to a balloon. I danced myself out of the womb. Is it... Marc Bolan
I thought of you and how you love this beauty, And walking up the long beach all alone. I heard the waves breaking in measured thunder. As you and I once heard their monotone. Around me were the echoing dunes, beyond me. The cold and sparkling silver of the sea --We two will pass through death and ages lengthen. Before you hear that sound again with me. Sara Teasdale
James Patterson quote: "You mean other than the wings? I once ate nine snicker bars in..."
You mean other than the wings? I once ate nine snicker bars in a row without barfing. It was a record. James Patterson
People are not usually deprived of their liberties all at once, but gradually, by one encroachment after another, as it is found they are disposed to bear them. Jonathan Mayhew

The way of the world is to bloom and to flower and die but in the affairs of men there is no waning and the noon of his expression signals the onset of night. His spirit is exhausted at the peak of its achievement. His meridian is at once his darkening and the evening of his day. He loves games? Let him... Cormac McCarthy
