I'm death obsessed. You know, I have death all over my house. I have a stuffed two headed sheep!

Lewis Thomas

You're Valentine's son. I'm sure you're the one the Queen really wants to see. Besides, you're charming. Maybe not at the moment.

That's the pleasure and challenge of reading great novels; you get to see yourself as others see you and you get to see others as they see themselves.

John Green

Magic becomes art when it has nothing to hide.

Ben Okri

I discovered, though, that once having given a pig an enema there is no turning back, no chance of resuming one of life's more stereotyped roles.

Lewis H. Lapham

Commonly men will only be brave as their fathers were brave, or timid.

Henry David Thoreau
