“Cashel has been here before. Once part of the Rowardennan Estate, it was purchased by the National Land Fund for public benefit and passed to the Forestry Commission to manage before being sold by the Thatcher government.

“Cashewblai Pecan was a mighty conqueror, much as his grandsire Genghis had been. Under his yasa, all roadways were safe for travelers and honest men. ‘Twas by many a wise tongue said, That a maiden with a golden vessel on her head, Might walk alone without fear or dread. From the great eastern sea all the way to Mesopotamia, Such was the promise of the Pax Macadamia!”

“Cashiers interact with hundreds of strangers per day, but seem to treat them all like one person. As a result, they seem to laugh at just about anything you say. “Hi, what can I get started for you?” “I’ll take a breakfast muffin.” “Haha, nice! Anything else?” “That’s everything.” “Haha, alright, there you go, sir. Your total is $3.24.” “Okay, here’s $5.

“Casi a diario oigo decir que el problema es que hoy en día se publican demasiados libros. Eso es absurdo: es como decir que existen demasiadas personas. Nuestras vidas son por y para una docena de personas, los otros miles de millones están y ya. Y muchas veces nos desvelamos buscando una sola y no la encontramos.
