She had surprised Hans like she had surprised me when she said she'd go, and then she surprised him again when she came back so quick like she must have, because when I came in with the snow she was there with a bottle with three white feathers on its label and Hans was holding it angrily by the throat.

`` Why, Winston '', she'd cry, `` I just now saw you eating it out of the jar ''!!

Even two or three years ago I doubt that she'd have become involved in this unfortunate Johnston affair.

I chose Annie for mine, and made her an orphan, so she'd have no family, no tangling alliances, but freedom to go where she pleased.

It wasn't until later in the week that I realized she was someone with autism .... I approached her and asked if she'd be willing to speak at the next year's conference.

And if I have gone into so much detail about so small a work, that is because it is also so typical a work, representing the germinal form of a conflict which remains essential in Mann's writing: the crude sketch of Piepsam contains, in its critical, destructive and self-destructive tendencies, much that is enlarged and illuminated in the figures of, for instance, Naphta and Leverkuhn.

I want you to be grandfather to these orphaned poems, dear father-brother, now I am gone ; ;

One said, `` When I get a cold I buy a bottle of whiskey for it, and within a few hours it's gone ''.

The sentimental pure heart of Galahad is gone with the knightly years, but I still believe in the heart of the George Meredith character that was not made of the stuff that breaks ''.

If I could put your body in an imaginary atomic press and squeeze you down, squeeze these holes out of you in the way we squeeze the holes out of a sponge, you would get smaller and smaller until finally when the last hole was gone, you would be smaller than the smallest speck of dust that you could see on this piece of paper.
