There is will in the thought, there is none in the dream. Even in the gigantic and the ideal, the dream, which is completely spontaneous, takes and keeps the form of our mind. Nothing springs more directly and more sincerely from our innermost souls than our unreflected and indefi.. | Victor Hugo | ||

'She said that if a just-married couple put a coin in a jar every time they make love in their first year, and take a coin out for every time that they make love in the years that follow, the jar will never be emptied.' And this means...?' Well', she said. 'It's interesting, isn't it? | sex | Neil Gaiman | |
| 2a8948b | So you used to know everything?" She wrinkled her nose. "Everybody did. I told you. It's nothing special, knowing how things work.

It was a truly splendid building, and Yossarian throbbed with a mighty sense of accomplishment each t.. | Joseph Heller | ||
| 06f8998 | But now science is the belief system that is hundreds of years old. And, like the medieval system before it, science is starting not to fit the world any more.
