| e006899 | We keep to our usual stuff, more or less, only inside out. We do on stage the things that are supposed to happen off. Which is a kind of integrity, if you look on every exit being an entrance somewhere else. | entry exit leaving | Tom Stoppard | |
| 39b2c8e | The habits of our lives makes us presume that things will happen in a certain foreseeable way, that there will be a vague coherence in the world. | Adolfo Bioy Casares | ||
| a4e86a5 | Artemis] returned to the aft bay for Mulch's version of a briefing. The dwarf had drawn a crude diagram on a backlit wall panel. In fairness, there were more artistic chimpanzees. And less pungent ones. Mulch was using a carrot as a pointer, or more accurately, several carrots. Dwarfs liked carrots. 'This is Koboi Labs,' He mumbled around a mouthful of vegetable. 'That?' exclaimed Root. 'I realize, Julius, that it is not an accurate sch.. | diagram dwarf humor humorous | Eoin Colfer | |

| 947d667 | Hey, if you can't remember, don't worry about it. I'm having a few memory problems myself in this place. Little things like how long I've been here, what my purpose in life is, which feet to put my shoes on. Stuff like that. | Eoin Colfer | ||

| cfe30dc | Slowly he took out the clothes in which, ten years beforem Cosette had left Montfermeil; first the little dress, then the black scarf, then the great heavy child's shoes Cosette could still almost have worn, so small was her foot, then the vest of very thich fustian, then the knitted petticoat, the the apron with pockets, then the wool stockings.... Then his venerable white head fell on the bed, this old stoical heart broke, his face was sw.. | cosette crying inseparable jean-valjean les-misérables sad | Victor Hugo | |
| 9ab93c5 | The eye of a man should be still more reverent before the rising of a young maiden than before the rising of a star. The possibility of touch should increase respect. The down of the peach, the dust of the plum, the radiated crystal of snow, the butterfly's wing powdered with feathers, are gross things beside that chastity that does not even know it is chaste. The young maiden is only the glimmer of a dream and is not yet statue. Her alcove.. | Victor Hugo | ||

| d0362d7 | As any war veteran will tell you, there is a vast difference between preparing for battle and actually facing battle for the first time.

| 6da3dd9 | I do value my work awfully; but in reality only consider this: all this world of ours is nothing but a speck of mildew, which has grown up on a tiny planet. And for us to suppose we can have something great - ideas, work - it's all dust and ashes. | Leo Tolstoy | ||

| 531d1cd | In my considered opinion, salary is payment for goods delivered and it must conform to the law of supply and demand.

| 4da8b83 | Levin had been married three months. He was happy, but not at all in the way he had expected to be. At every step he found his former dreams disappointed, and new, unexpected surprises of happiness. He was happy; but on entering upon family life he saw at every step that it was utterly different from what he had imagined. At every step he experienced what a man would experience who, after admiring the smooth, happy course of a little boat o.. | Leo Tolstoy | ||
