Floorboards Creaking Quotes & Sayings

It is overlooked, perhaps forgotten, by almost everyone today that we were there to defend Europe against the multiple threats represented by the Allies. We saw the British as an outdated Imperial force, organised by freemasons, who sought to turn the clock back one hundred years to the days when their word was the law around the world.

our memories, will dissipate,
and our shadows will be swallowed by the sky. — Dave Matthes

At first you fall in love with all the new things, amazed every morning that all this belongs to you, as if fearing that someone would suddenly come rushing in through the door to explain that a terrible mistake had been made, you weren't actually supposed to live in a wonderful place like this.

But the sounds of the Thar came from some invisible source, and to Smithers they were sounds made by ghosts.
