• But love, first learned in a lady's eyes,
  Lives not alone immured in the brain;
  But, with the motion of all elements,
  Courses as swift as thought in every power,
  And gives to every power a double power,
  Above their functions and their offices.

  William Shakespeare

  Love You, Eye, Giving

• Men, this stuff that some sources sling around about America wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bullshit. Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle. You are here today for three reasons. First, because you are here to defend your homes and your loved ones. Second, you are here for your own self respect, because you would not want to be anywhere else. Third, you are here because you are real men and all real men like to fight.

• Do me a favor... Stand up, walk to wherever the nearest window is, and just look outside.

Your life is as amazing as you want it to be, but first, you have to let it be that way.

• The number of humble-bees in any district depends in a great degree on the number of field-mice, which destroy their combs and nests; and Mr. H. Newman, who has long attended to the habits of humble-bees, ... says "Near villages and small towns I have found the nests of humble-bees more numerous than elsewhere, which I attribute to the number of cats that destroy the mice." Hence it is quite credible that the presence of a feline animal in large numbers in a district might determine, through the intervention first of mice and then of bees, the frequency of certain flowers in that district!

A man's look is the work of years, it is stamped on his countenance by the events of his whole life, nay, more, by the hand of nature, and it is not to be got rid of easily.
