Some are born to sweet delight,
Some are born to endless night.

I have been one acquainted with the night.

Wicked people never have time for reading. It's one of the reasons for their wickedness.

I tried keeping a diary once. Not chronological, of course. But the trouble with time travel is, one never seems to find the time.

Red is the ultimate cure for sadness.

Why don't you smegging well smeg off, you annoying little smeggy smegging smegger!

As the light changed from red to green to yellow and back to red again, I sat there thinking about life. Was it nothing more than a bunch of honking and yelling? Sometimes it seemed that way.

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast!

Every night in the winter it starts the same. Uncle David and Nels will fill their lower lips and Father will carve and Mother will knit and the yellow flames will make our faces burn, and then Uncle David will spit in the coffee can and rub his hands on his legs and take a breath and say: “It was when I was young…..” Then he will tell the story.

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in

Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth,"You owe me." Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky.

It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents, except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the house-tops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.
