“In a railway station there is an authority higher even than an official of Her Majesty the Queen, an authority more sacrosanct than holy writ, and more capricious than the weather. This higher authority is the railway timetable, a document which is simultaneously prediction and promise, best-guess estimate and downright lie.”
Thomas Morris

“I, for one, do not believe the Universe should be this fragile, because it's where I keep all my stuff.”
Jim Benton, My Pants Are Haunted

Kate DiCamillo
“I read to you from the P-R encyclopedia. I read you the entry on 'protons'. And you listened with your eyes so wide! Your mother said, 'You're traumatizing the child by reading to her about protons. No baby needs to hear about protons.' But you did. You needed to hear about protons. You stood up in your crib and held on to the bars and listened to me with your eyes all big and bright. Positive-charged protons. You were fascinated. From the beginning, you were fascinated, and that is a very good thing to be in this world.”
Kate DiCamillo, Walker Books Ltd Ferris.

“Senator Smoot is an institute
Not to be bribed with pelf;
He guards our homes from erotic tomes
By reading them all himself.”
Ogden Nash
