So far I have learned that long hair will clog up the shower drain befor you can say "Liquid-Plumr"; that it is not advisable to clip something out of the newspaper before your wife has read it, even if the newspaper in question is a week old; that I am the only person in our two-person household who can eat the same thing for dinner three nights in a row without pouting; and that headphones were invented to preserve spouses from each other's musical excesses.”
― Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler's Wife

“With freedom, flowers, books, and the moon, who could not be perfectly happy?”
― Oscar Wilde, De Profundis

“It's hard being left behind. (...) It's hard to be the one who stays.”

“It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.”
― George Orwell, 1984
