Quote by George MacDonald

“The sun is gone down, And the moon's in the sky; But the sun will come up, And the mood be laid by. The flower is asleep, But it is not dead; When the morning shines, It will lift its head. When winter comes, It will die -- no, no; It will only hide From the frost and the snow. Sure is the summer, Sure is the sun; The night and the winter Are shadows that run.”

Quote by George MacDonald

“He opened his laptop and showed me a picture of a “cozy” Greenwich Village apartment he’d found online. My dad, a born New Yorker, had told me stories of the Village, a lively network of cobblestone streets and jazz dives, coffee houses and folk clubs with no cover fee—and I felt a surge of light-headed ambition. “Though it’s kind of strange,” Justin continued, “there is no bathroom inside. Our toilet would be down a public hallway.”

“At any rate, there were no women in my apartment." "Porn?" I question with a snort. "Figures." "Non, it was an actress I asked to do me a favor. A phone call. It was my way to get you back for spilling wine on my duvet and all your stomping around." "Oh my god," I say, sitting back in my chair, shaking my head with disbelief. After I got over the initial shock of his deception, my lips twist into an awkward smile. "So, the other night---" "I just placed my iPhone by the vent---" "She's a really good actress," I say with a snort. "Really good.”

“後來他亦住進了一迷宮大樓,朋友介紹的住處,公寓五、六樓改建成十三個雅房,曲折的走道連接這些房間,公用衛浴,走道變置物間,月租三千到四千,每個房子配置都一樣,只是方位與大小略有差別。不到三坪的房間,窗戶裝有抽風機一台,有對外窗的四千,沒對外窗三千,單人木板床,牆上有一排掛衣桿,頭頂有日光燈,其他自備。包水電,但沒冷氣,沒網路。 他猜想,監獄也大致是這格局吧,只差沒有放風用的運動場。”
