Otherwise you will only see what you were expecting. | Douglas Adams | ||

| 82bc411 | His mouth started to speak, but his brain decided it hadn't got anything to say yet and shut it again. His brain then started to contend with the problem of what his eyes told it they were looking at, but in doing so relinquished control of the mouth which promptly fell open again.

Any idea how many women have felt free to grab my crotch at will? (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 21ca5e1 | Guys, we're so screwed. The women know we didn't go hunting. (Kyrian) You think? What idiot came up with that lie? (Zarek) I'm not an idiot. And it's not like I lied.

| 93181af | We are absurdly accustomed to the miracle of a few written signs being able to contain immortal imagery, involutions of thought, new worlds with live people, speaking, weeping, laughing. We take it for granted so simply that in a sense, by the very act of brutish routine acceptance, we undo the work of the ages, the history of the gradual elaboration of poetical description and construction, from the treeman to Browning, from the caveman to.. | language literature reading words | Vladimir Nabokov | |
