False friends are like our shadow, keeping close to us while we walk in the sunshine, but leaving us the instant we cross into the shade.

Money is the representative of a certain quantity of corn or other commodity. It is so much warmth, so much bread.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

What can he mean by coming among us? He is not only dull himself, but the cause of dullness in others.

Jane Austen

Billy Corgan

...I had always believed that I left a bit of me wherever I went. I also believed that I took a bit of every place with me. I never felt that more than with this trip. It was as if the act of touching these places, walking these roads,and asking these questions had added another column to my being. And the only possible explanation I could find for that feeling was that a spirit existed in many of the places I visited, and a spirit existed in me and the two had somehow met in the course of my travels. It's as if the godliness of the land and the godliness of my being had fused.

Bruce Feiler
