“After what others would call a fun day out together, we feel as if we have been at the Red Cross, donating blood.”
Anneli Rufus, Party of One: The Loner's Manifesto

J.R.R. Tolkien
“There's an autumnal quality throughout the whole of The Lord of the Rings, in one case a character says the story continues but I seem to have dropped out of it … however, everything is declining, fading, at least towards the end of the Third Age. Every choice tends to the upsetting of some tradition. Now this seems to me to be somewhat like Tennyson's "the old order changeth, yielding place to new, and God fulfills himself in many ways". Where is God in The Lord of the Rings?

He's mentioned once or twice.”
J.R.R. Tolkien

Oscar Wilde
“Some things are more precious because they don't last long.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Douglas Adams
“I thought,” he said, “that if the world was going to end we were meant to lie down or put a paper bag over our head or something.”

“If you like, yes,” said Ford.

“That’s what they told us in the army,” said the man, and his eyes began the long trek back down to his whisky.

“Will that help?” asked the barman.

“No,” said Ford and gave him a friendly smile.”
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Amy  Stewart
“One is deep indigo blue," he said. "Eighteen inches long and about a thumb's width in diameter. It's got big white spots with yellow centers, like fried eggs, all over its back, if you can imagine that. And get this—it crawls on the forest floor, doesn't burrow in the ground, and its infants live in trees until they're mature.”
Amy Stewart, The Earth Moved: On the Remarkable Achievements of Earthworms
