Sunshine And Family Quotes & Sayings

Vasectomy

the catbird mates for life and
maps trace out no alibis - stepped
into a morning of naked truth,
where acts mean what they really are:
the purity of loving
for the sake of love. — Philip Appleman

Swann the elder upon the death of his wife, by whose bedside he had watched day and night.

I am glad that it is old and big. I myself am of an old family, and to live in a new house would kill me.

I seek not gaiety nor mirth, not the bright voluptuousness of much sunshine and sparkling waters which please the young and gay. I am no longer young; and my heart, through wearing years of mourning over the dead, is not attuned to mirth.

But I know something else as well: there's a place in most of us where the rain is pretty much constant, the shadows are always long, and the woods are full of monsters.
