“Linda Tripp has shown that a true friend is an archivist, a biographer.”

Even then, at nine years old, I wanted to live inside her body. I wanted to melt into her bones -- that kind of love.”

There is the usual hive of activity in the Brannon household this morning. Mrs Brannon is busy making breakfast for her daughter, Lindsey, making it just as she likes it: two slices of toast with home-made raspberry jam, a hard-boiled egg, shell peeled and the egg cut into slices, a cup of fresh Earl Grey tea with one brown sugar and a touch of milk, with a glass of freshly-squeezed orange juice on the side – oranges bought from the greengrocer down the road. The same breakfast she has lovingly made for her daughter for over forty years.”

“Line and shape, the best principles: Straight lines are the basic and simple form, while curves are more complex and beautiful. Curves can be inward or outward, depending on how they bend. Inward curves are more aggressive, while outward curves are more expansive. Outward curves are easier to handle than inward curves. Curve belongs to God, and is a kind of orderly cognition distilled from chaos, orderly in orderly will reflect each other, but orderly into disorderly in its will return to the basics of chaos or be weakened. Visual of a physical pure curve with a psychological straight line is the best, a curve-based straight line is the second best, a straight-based curve line is the third best, and a pure straight line is the fourth best. This is because a straight line is more harmful than a curve in a product. For example, the iPhone 14 Pro's flat frame is more uncomfortable to hold than the iPhone 15 Pro's round frame.”

“Lines and Squares
Whenever I walk in a London street,
I'm ever so careful to watch my feet;
And I keep in the squares,
And the masses of bears,
Who wait at the corners all ready to eat
The sillies who tread on the lines of the street,
Go back to their lairs,
And I say to them, "Bears,
Just look how I'm walking in all of the squares!"
And the little bears growl to each other, "He's mine,
As soon as he's silly and steps on a line."
And some of the bigger bears try to pretend
That they came round the corner to look for a friend;
And they try to pretend that nobody cares
Whether you walk on the lines or squares.
But only the sillies believe their talk;
It's ever so portant how you walk.
And it's ever so jolly to call out, "Bears,
Just watch me walking in all the squares!”
“Lines are drawn, but then they fade. For her I bend, for you I break.”

“Lines are results, do not draw them for themselves. ... Lines give birth to lines. Drawing is not following a line on the model, it is drawing your sense of the thing. ... Make a drawing flow, stopping sometimes, and going on. ... Search for the simple constructive forces, line the lines of a suspension bridge. Get the few main lines and see what lines they call out. ... Have purpose in the places where lines stop.”
“Lines are results, do not draw them for themselves.”
