I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.
Father Book Men
He ran as he'd never run before, with neither hope nor despair. he ran because the world was divided into opposites and his side had already been chosen for him, his only choice being whether or not to play his part with heart and courage. he ran because fate had placed him in a position of responsibility and he had accepted the burden. he ran because his self-respect required it. he ran because he loved his friends and this was the only thing he could do to end the madness that was killing and maiming them.

There was a man that hated his footprints and his shadow, so one day he thought that if he ran fast enough, his footprints and shadow would not be able to follow him and then he never ever had to look at them again. he ran and he ran as fast as he could, but the shadow and the footprints had no problems keeping up to him. and he ran even faster and all of a sudden he fell dead to the ground. but if he been standing still there hadn't been any footprints and if he had been resting under a tree his shadow had been swallowed of the trees shadow.

The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.

Flowers... that are so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their coloring as gorgeous as the heavens, had through thousands of years been the heritage of children - honored as the jewelry of god only by them - when suddenly the voice of christianity, counter-signing the voice of infancy, raised them to a grandeur transcending the hebrew throne, although founded by god himself, and pronounced solomon in all his glory not to be arrayed like one of these.
