“Chilled ice tea that tempered tepid summer days lathered thick with humidity. Frothy hot chocolate that cut winter’s chill. Bedtime prayers that sent our fears scrambling in panicked flight. Golden bouquets of dandelions aromatically rich with the gift of summers scent. Family meals that wove yet another binding thread in and through the tapestry of those seated around the table. These are but the slightest sampling of the innumerable gifts my mother handed to this child of hers. And without them, my life would be impoverished beyond words to describe.”

“Chilled-looking people walking along the riverside, the snow beginning, faintly, to pile up on the roofs of cars, the bare trees shaking their heads left and right, dry leaves tossing in the wind. The silver of the metal window sash sparkling coldly. Soon after, I heard sensei call, "Mikage! Are you awake? It's snowing, look! It's snowing!" "I'm coming!" I called out, standing up. I got dressed to begin another day. Over and over, we begin again.”

Float in the blue skies ravishing.
Thy song-of-life a joy doth bring

And when thou to a rose shalt come
That hath begun to show her bloom,
Say, I send her greeting!”

only after the breaking and shattering of old chains.
Look at how they tear into ominous clouds without fear; witness how their freedom wings take them anywhere they want to go.”

“Chimerical and empty being, your name alone has caused more blood to flow on the face of the earth than any political war ever will. Return to the nothingness from which the mad hope and ridiculous fright of men dared call you forth to their misfortune. You only appeared as a torment for the human race. What crimes would have been spared the world, if they had choked the first imbecile who thought of speaking of you.”
“Chimerical words, the words were written,
Some are wasted; some are still on the page,
Tattered words, the words were written,
Some are young, some are aged,
Gloomy words, the words were written,
Some are unspoken, some are told,
Words were hurt, though they can heal,
Words are breathless, though can feel,
Words won hearts, words shattered hearts,
Words lost battles, words won wars,
Wars within, words had scars.”

“Chimes at the Edge of Hearing (2011)
Chimes in the heavens sound so fine,
Whither does it go; how it chimes the time.
Tumultuous river of colored tinselly sounds,
Their music brasses forth, it has no bounds.
Tinkle clackle tinke koo,
How infinite the melody with notes so few.
Chimes clanging silent at the edge of hearing,
Does it not sound so jingly and endearing?
Klankle ping chinkle cree,
Quite the sound of discordant harmony.
Pakkle kikkle ringly kat,
Chimes echo out; they drift cackling back.
A cacophony of clingles, pims and tinkle-ets,
Chimes shinkle loud at the crescendo of their octets.
Pakickle tamtankle jjingling kites,
They fly into darkness on the clatter of midnight.
Chimes symphonic at the coming black storm,
Upon the shrieks their shimmering rrrings are born.
Sounds and silences; the glistening chimes adorn,
Haunting images of sounds so distant and forlorned.
Cymbal they together; the sound of crackly glass,
They remind of the times and rattles of the past.
Metals on metals trinklelink clapping down the time,
Their clittering rhythms broke, raw and refined.
Concerto of jangles jinkles and dings,
See their sound, how pleasant they dream.
Off they go, winds klickle on smooth breeze,
And chinkle and pinkle through my melodic tree.

“Chimes?" Phyllis asked. "Chimes to call a lover? Chimes with the voice of a bird trapped in them? Chimes that play you whatever song you most desire to hear?" "No thanks," said Nick. "We've got MTV.”

“Chimpanzees are an evolutionary hair's-width from us.... Now imagine a species on Earth, or anywhere else, as smart compared with humans as humans are compared with chimpanzees. How much of the universe might they figure out?”
“Chimpanzees are endangered. Severely.”
“Chimpanzees are incredibly intelligent. They can learn more than 400 signs of American Sign Language. They have memories for spatial distribution, like numbers on a TV screen, way better than ours. You come onto the emotions: happiness, sadness, fear, and despair - all the things for which I was accused of being anthropomorphic when I ascribed them to chimpanzees.”
“Chimpanzees are our nearest living relatives, and offer hints as to how our distant ancestors may have behaved. Chimps live in bands within territories, and show a ferocious in-group out-group consciousness. It has long been known that males drive off intruders from other bands and kill their young if they can. Psychologists watching chimps in Uganda found that even females are murderously territorial. On three occasions they saw females drive off invaders and kill their babies.
People often behave according to genetic similarity theory, and the scholar who has probably written most extensively in this field is J. Philippe Rushton of the University of Western Ontario. “Genetically similar people tend to seek one another out and to provide mutually supportive environments such as marriage, friendship, and social groups,” he has written. For example, spouses tend to resemble each other, not just in age, ethnicity, and education (r = 0.6) but in opinions and attitudes (r = 0.5), intelligence (r = 0.4), and even in such things as personality and physical traits (r = 0.2). They are even like each other in undesirable traits such as aggressiveness, criminality, alcoholism, and mental disease. It is possible to predict how happy a couple is by know.”

“Chimpanzees can be quite political.”
“Chimpanzees have given me so much. The long hours spent with them in the forest have enriched my life beyond measure. What I have learned from them has shaped my understanding of human behavior, of our place in nature.”
“Chimpanzees is hatin but I take it all in stride. Put her in a jungle with bananas on the side.”
“Chimpanzees will eat a little bit of meat. But, they never eat dairy products, and no other animal would do that.”
“Chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutan shave been living for hundreds of thousands of years in their forest,living fantastic lives, never overpopulating, never destroying the forest. I would say that they have been in a way more successful than us as far as being in harmony with the environment.”
“Chimpanzees, more than any other living creature, have helped us to understand that there is no sharp line between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom. It's a very blurry line, and it's getting more blurry all the time.”
“Chimpanzees, typically, kiss and embrace after fights. They first make eye contact from a distance to see the mood of the others. Then they approach and kiss and embrace.”
“Chimps act the way they feel unless they are afraid of reprisal if they do so. But that doesn't apply to humans.”
“Chimps are brutal, and it is so deliberate. The males go out and get near the boundary of their territory. And they walk very silently trying hard not to make any noise. They will climb into a tree and stare out over hostile territory for hours. They are waiting for the right opportunity. And then they attack.”
“Chimps are far too much human to be my favorite animal.”
