Comme l'imagination a cre e le monde, elle le gouverne. Because imagination created the world, it governs it.

Man must do his part and detach himself from created things.

I was ripe ten years ago. Now I’m merely preserved, and before long I’ll be buried back in the orchard with the other pits.” -Amanda to Jack

My conception of dominion status implies present ability to severe the British connection if I wish to.

Sloths move at the speed of congressional debate but with greater deliberation and less noise.

Whether it's simply some fierce animal joining of mates or a sublime merging of souls, she is mine, and I am hers.
