In the profound darkness of certain nights I have seen the sky streaked with so many trailing sparks that it seemed to me a great gale must be blowing through the outer heavens. Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Totally calm in the long lens, crowd on top of crowd, pedaling, trudging, faceless, sort of surviving nicely. Don DeLillo
I only did it,' I said, 'now this is going to be the truth, Teddy, I only did it because it seemed to be the glamorous thing to do at the time. It was my ideal of glamour. Elaine Dundy
A religion is a system of symbols which acts to establish powerful, pervasive, and long-lasting moods in men by formulating conceptions of a general order of existence and clothing those conceptions with such an aura of factuality that the moods and motivations seem uniquely realistic. Clifford D. Simak
How about the wrong crowd," I said. "You getting in with them?"Not much luck," Paul said. "I'm trying like hell, but the wrong crowd doesn't seem to want me."Don't quit," I said. "You want something, you go after it. I was nearly thirty-five before I could get in with wrong crowd. Robert B. Parker

Eddie is one of those deadly dull people who is so upbeat that I suspect he would subconsciously like to go through the neighborhood, house by house, with a machine gun. He seems oblivious to the effect that his long, rambling monologues have on people - he doesn't notice the blank faces, the fingers flexing like those of people buried alive, the ocular tics. You could write down his words verbatim, show them to him, and he'd probably say, 'I know... Anne Lamott
