| e8c73a7 | Looking back over sixty-odd years, life is like a piece of string with knots in it, the knots being those moments that live in the mind forever, and the intervals being hazy, half-recalled | George MacDonald Fraser | ||

| ef52f3b | the English general was less concerned for the moment with what he was going to do in Scotland than with the problem of actually getting his army there in working order. His main worry was a shortage of beer for the troops; on September 2 he was indenting for "vi or vii hundred tonne of bere", five days later he was noting that "I feare lak of no thyng so moche as of drynk", and this despite the brewing that was taking place at Berwick, and.. | George MacDonald Fraser | ||
| 8523ad8 | Here I was alone, and could take my own time. In other parts of the world one always seems to be in a great hurry, tearing from one spot to the other at a gallop, but out yonder, perhaps because distances are so great, time don't seem to matter; you can jog along, breathing fresh air and enjoying the scenery and your own thoughts about women and home and hunting and booze and money and what may lie over the next hill. | George MacDonald Fraser | ||

That's because I think much that goes on between teenagers and their parents is funny--if we can step back far enough from our lives to view our daily travails for what they are, instead of as deadly serious issues. Finally, if this book achieves its goal, you may notice a strange transformation in those scenes that used to drag you down. With a new understanding of your teenager's psychological development and s.. | Anthony E. Wolf | ||
| 93e290e | What is it to be the parent of a teenager? It is to do what you think best--when really you have no idea what is best. It is to ride out the storms and be back again the next day. It is to give love to a child who does not seem to want it, to a child who five minutes ago seemed to deserve a punch more than anything else. | Anthony E. Wolf | ||

And in case she was late and had to run through the station to make it in time, she had worn little flat black suede shoes, and she looked more than ever like a schoolgirl with her shining dark straight hair down her back, when she arrived at Rose's office at two-thirty.

He'll make me laugh all night and say rude things about all the big stars, but they all know him and love him." "I didn't expect you to fill my shoes quite so handsomely," he said, sounding both peeved and jealous, and she laughed. Maybe it was good for him.

'Instant's good,' I said, and went downstairs to see him reach down two mugs from a shelf in his beige and steel kitchen. 'Milk?' he asked, spooning instant coffee from a metal canister. 'Yes, please.' He added milk, filled both mugs from a tap in the corner of the sink and passed one over. I looked.. | Danielle Hawkins | ||

She felt as though she were trying to fit pieces together that showed trees, sky, half a cat, and part of a barn door. All together they didn't make a picture. She knew what the images were, but none of them was complete, and she didn't feel whole, either. She reminded herself that she didn't need a man to be complete.
