“I refilled the wineglass and took it with me for a nice long bubble bath, where I settled in with Ambrose's guide for low-voltage outdoor lighting.

It wasn't thrilling bubble-bath reading material, but I was impressed by his imagination. You wouldn't know from the writing that he'd never actually seen a low-voltage lighting system in someone's yard, much less installed one himself. His descriptions were clear, colorful, and written with authority. The inscription wasn't bad either: To Natalie, You're a high-voltage system as far as I am concerned.”
― Lee Goldberg, Mr. Monk in Outer Space

“There, a simple headstone marked the grave of Eva Saloman Johansen, "beloved wife and grandmother." Tess was intrigued to see a phrase in Hebrew characters. Her paternal grandmother had apparently been Jewish. Beside that was a marker for Erik Karl Johansen, inscribed, 'Measure his life not by its length but by the depths of joy he brought us. He jumped into life and never touched bottom. We will never laugh the same again.”

“I have come from my town,
I have descended from my nome,
I have done justice for its lord,
I have satisfied him with what he loves.
I spoke truly, I did right,
I spoke fairly, I repeated fairly,
I seized the right moment,
So as to stand well with people.
I judged between two so as to content them,
I rescued the weak from one stronger than he
I gave bread to the hungry, clothes (to the naked),
I brought the boatless to land.
I buried him who had no son,
I made a boat for him who lacked one.
I respected my father, I pleased my mother.
I raised their children.
So says he whose nickname is Sheshi.
INSCRIPTION OF NEFER-SESHEM-RE CALLED SHESHI”

“She walked down the center of the lawn, to a limestone pedestal. She thought at first that it was a birdbath. But now that she was close enough to touch it, she saw that it was actually a sundial. There was an inscription along its circumference. " 'Grow old along with me,' " Rose read.
Behind her, someone finished the phrase. " 'The best is yet to be.' "
Rose turned to find Hart, and she felt suddenly shy, like he'd caught her voicing a deep desire, not mindlessly reading some words etched in stone.”
― Goldy Moldavsky, Of Earthly Delights
