| f457b54 | I always say, waste not, want not, which is a terrible cliche the British invented during the war to get kids to eat their whole-wheat bread, but when I say it I mean, waste not money on boring old rent when it can be un-wasted on Chloe jeans. | Plum Sykes | ||

| 7b362be | A eulogy is no more than a summation of memories, and we will never forget you, because we cannot forget you, because we will miss you every day. To imagine a world without you in it is to imagine a world with a little less God in it, and yet, because God is not a diminishing resource, I cannot believe that. | Mitch Albom | ||
| 51ebbe9 | And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creatures endures. A fear of time running out | Mitch Albom | ||
| 058a534 | Through it all, despite it all, Eddie privately adored his old man, because sons will adore their fathers through even the worst behavior. It is how they learn devotion.

| 37831a0 | Dor came from a time before the written word, a time when if you wished to speak with someone, you walked to see them. This time was different.

They constantly checked their devices to see what time it was-- the very thing Dor had tried to determine once with a stick, a stone, and a shadow. | Mitch Albom | ||

| 176fc3c | Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it. | Mitch Albom | ||
| 878d70c | I would ask the reader to pause for a moment and ponder the statistics. Statistics are mere numbers; they need to be translated into human experience. What would a 90 percent mortality rate mean to the survivors and their society? The Black Death in Europe at its worst carried off 30 to 60 percent of the population. That was devastating enough. But the mortality rate wasn't high enough to destroy European civilization. A 90 percent mortalit.. | Douglas Preston | ||

| 6513fb9 | Every pellet has a story all its own. Every pellet has a story all its own. With its fur and teeth and bones And one or two stones, Every pellet has a story all its own. We shall dissect every pellet with glee. Perhaps we'll find a rodents knee. And never shall we tire In the sacred task that we conspire, No do our work less perfectly And those bright flecks at the core, Which makes our hearts soar, Shall forever remain the deepe.. | Kathryn Lasky | ||
