I cannot remember Dr. Gregory's reply, if, indeed, he made one.

I have known some men and women who said that the selves they are told about or even remember seem utter strangers to them now ; ;

I would, however, like to suggest that, wrong though I may be, the tendency to see dilemmas rather than solutions is one of which I have been a victim ever since I can remember, and therefore not merely a senile phenomenon.

Apropos of what some would call cynicism, I remember an anecdote the source of which I forget.

All I could remember was Billie Dove pasted over the ceiling of my big brother's room.

Lincoln rejected the idea, saying, " I will suffer death before I consent ... to any concession or compromise which looks like buying the privilege to take possession of this government to which we have a constitutional right.

When talking about those who have made " shipwreck " of their faith ( 1 Tim 1: 19 ), Wesley claims that " not one, or a hundred only, but I am persuaded, several thousands ... innumerable are the instances ... of those who had fallen but now stand upright.

I was not sure the magic worked outside the church walls ... in the open air of Mississippi.

There was nothing left to do, I thought ... but sing ' Amazing Grace '.

Johnson took to the Senate floor after the election demonstrated the schism in the country, giving a sensational speech headlined by the New York Times: "... I will not give up this government ... No ; I intend to stand by it ... and I invite every man who is a patriot to ... rally around the altar of our common country ... and swear by our God ... that the Constitution shall be saved, and the Union preserved.

After I would finish playing the songs, he'd just go away without a comment.

I wouldn't hear from him for a couple of weeks, then he'd come around with the completed lyric ''.

I heard of some that tried it back in the States, and he'd knock them clear across the room.

I have observed that being up on a horse changes the whole character of a man, and when a very small man is up on a saddle, he'd like as not prefer to eat his meals there.

Occasionally if I pushed him too far he'd give me a look out of narrowed eyes and the hard cruel bony skull would show through that smooth face of his.

I used to play with the older one sometimes, when he'd let me.

He was all shoveled up like I thought he'd be.

He was awful angry because he'd thought Ma was going to do something big, something heroic even, especially for her I know him I know him we felt the same sometimes while Ma wasn't thinking about that at all, not anything like that.

I don't think he'd mind too much if he were sure you'd decided not to be a rumdum in the future ''.

I had a bowl of decent chowder, phoned the Doc and he said he'd leave the death statements with his girl -- in a half hour.

When he handed it back and I had hold of it safely, Pops was looking toward me and I said `` Now '', to Charlie and he swung the short length of lead pipe he'd meanwhile taken from his pocket, once.

Johnnie I suddenly realized he'd been totally out of my thoughts all evening.

The segment would always open up spoofing Burma-Shave road signs as some of the Hee-Haw cast were seen piled on a truck driving down the road to Slim's Bar-B-Q whose guests often complained about the food to which Slim would counter with something like " I may not have prime meat at this picnic but I do have prime entertainment ..." and then he'd bring out the entertainment.

Because he'd been sitting in my house with my acoustic guitar, writing these songs like ' I Don't Care ', fucking up my guitar, and suddenly he's this guy on stage who you can't take your eyes off of.

He describes the incident as follows, " When I look for my buddy I see he'd stripped and piled his clothes by the roadside ...

Had I warned him about the scaffolding, tomorrow he'd be hit by a taxi.

If I warned him about the taxi, he'd fall in the shower and break his neck.

' I knew he'd be a movie star in two years.

He would also slip in spoof commercials and sponsor's announcements for " Dobbiroids ", the wonder horse rejuvenator, or " Dobbimist " horse deodorant ( a cure for UFO: under-fetlock odour ), or " Dobbitex " horse cummerbunds-he would claim that he'd been " got at ": paid money to plug the product, because he claimed to be only paid a pittance as a senior BBC announcer, " I want things, I need things, things the other radio announcers have got!

I was burrowing ahead trying to get to the park as quickly as possible and then the next thing I knew, I turned around and I saw he'd gone white, gray really, and he fell and his hand brushed me as he fell and he hit the pavement with the most terrible crack and I thought he'd fractured his skull.
