Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,

And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan't crack;
And death shall have no dominion. — Dylan Thomas

We are on the road to producing a race of men too mentally modest to believe in the multiplication table.5 — John Dickson

When my father was getting along in years and the past began to figure more in his conversation, I asked him one day what my mother was like. I knew what she was like as my mother but I thought it was time somebody told me what she was like as a person.

In any case he didn't feel like talking about her to me. — William Maxwell
