Oneness Quotes (page 23)
One of the thousand reasons I quit going to the theater when I was about twenty was that I resented like hell filing out of the theater just because some playwright was forever slamming down his silly curtain. (What ever became of that stalwart Fortinbras? Who eventually fixed his wagon?)

J. D. Salinger
One night between sunset and river
On the old bridge we stood, you and I.
Will you ever forget it, I queried,
- That particular swift that went by?

What a cry life emitted in flight!
Till we die, till tomorrow, for ever,
You and I on the old bridge one night.
Vladimir Nabokov
