He smiled his shy smile at her as he went into the yard. Anne took the memory of it with her when she went to her room that night and sat for a long while at her open window, thinking of the past and dreaming of the future. Outside the Snow Queen was mistily white in the moonshine; the frogs were singing in the marsh beyond Orchard Slope. Anne always remembered the silvery, peaceful beauty and fragrant calm of that night. It was the last night before sorrow touched her life; and no life is ever quite the same again when once that cold, sanctifying touch has been laid upon it.

A truth is to be known always, to be uttered sometimes.

Chuck Klosterman

Government never furthered any enterprise but the alacrity with which it got out of the way.

Henry David Thoreau

The evolution of the capitalist style of life could be easily -- and perhaps most tellingly -- described in terms of the genesis of the modern Lounge Suit.

Joseph Schumpeter

Science gives us a powerful vocabulary, and it is impossible to produce a vocabulary with which one can only say nice things.
