Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains; another, a moonlit beach; a third, a family dinner of pot roast and sweet potatoes during a myrtle-mad August in a Midwestern town. Smells detonate softly in our memory like poignant land mines hidden under the weedy mass of years. Hit a tripwire of smell and memories explode all at once. A complex vision leaps out of the undergrowth.

I have received no more than one or two letters in my life that were worth the postage.

Henry David Thoreau, Walden; or,

She had always thought the word 'pheromones' made it sound as though molecules were floating in the air, shaped like little fluted horns, ready to attach themselves to the nearest target. Microscopic Edison phonographs flying about, their brassy mouths puckered to sucker onto bare unsuspecting skin. These were what he sent out to her. The pheromones. The eyeless babies of energy.

Alice Pung

The shortest distance between two points is under construction.

Noelie Alito

Maturity is achieved when a person postpones immediate pleasures for long-term values.

Joshua L. Liebman

It is human nature to instinctively rebel at obscurity or ordinariness.
