Maria Semple Quotes
It Rarely Snows Because Antarctica Is A Desert. An Iceberg Means It's Tens Of Millions Of Years Old And Has Calved From A Glacier. (This Is Why You Must Love Life: One Day You're Offering Up Your Social Security Number To The Russia Mafia; Two Weeks Later You're Using The Word Calve As A Verb.) I Saw Hundreds Of Them, Cathedrals Of Ice, Rubbed Like Salt Licks; Shipwrecks, Polished From Wear Like Marble Steps At The Vatican; Lincoln Centers Capsized And Pockmarked; Airplane Hangars Carved By Louise Nevelson; Thirty-story Buildings, Impossibly Arched Like Out Of A World's Fair; White, Yes, But Blue, Too, Every Blue On The Color Wheel, Deep Like A Navy Blazer, Incandescent Like A Neon Sign, Royal Like A Frenchman's Shirt, Powder Like Peter Rabbit's Cloth Coat, These Icy Monsters Roaming The Forbidding Black.
