• I realized both the upper and lower body must be held securely in place with one strap across the chest and one across the hips.

  Ernest K. Gann

Watch the water heal itself of your presence--not to repair injury but to offer itself again should you care to risk another strapping [...].

  Paul Harding

  Father, Home, Heal Itself

• My mother, for example, told the German officer not to kill her. She'd make it worth his while. And then, when they were doing it, she pulled a knife out of her belt and sliced open his chest, just like she used to open chicken breasts to stuff with rice for the Sabbath meal.
