“Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country.... I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this.... It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating. None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me.”
“Reed College required a thesis for a Bachelor's degree. Normally a Bachelor's is sort of like being stamped 'Prime US Beef.' They just walk you through, hand out the diplomas and you fill in your name later on.”
“Reed couldn’t have agreed more with his wolf. Tonight the three of them would spend the night in the same house. He just hoped they were together in the same bed when they did it. Preferably naked and sweaty with lots of intimate touching.”

“Reed is nothing like these men. Never was. Instead, he is a master of disguise. A man so broken, his form shifts completely based on the angle of the light that meets him. He's like the cleome that bloom here in Mother's garden, changing from dark pink at night to pale come morning, then to white again before the bloom falls. Or the heirloom petunias. Or the Confederate rose. Never know what we might find when we visit them. Fickle flowers, they behave as if they've forgotten who they really are, always hiding, fooling us by showing only what they want us to see.
I now understand there have always been men like Reed in the world. A Judas. A wounded soul who causes tremendous harm for his own gain.”

“Reelection ought not to be the primary preoccupation of any politician. It ought to be standing up for truth and justice.”
“Reelfoot is, and has always been, a lake of mystery.In places it is bottomless. Other places the skeletons of the cypress-trees that went down when the earth sank, still stand upright so that if the sun shines from the right quarter, and the water is less muddy than common, a man, peering face downward into its depths, sees, or thinks he sees, down below him the bare top-limbs upstretching like drowned men's fingers, all coated with the mud of years and bandaged with pennons of the green lake slime.”
“Reeling and Writhing of course, to begin with,' the Mock Turtle replied, 'and the different branches of arithmetic-ambition, distraction, uglification, and derision.”

“Reescrito, publicado e perseguido. Como se, na Antiguidade, não existissem livros sobre a pluralidade de existências. Como se escrever fosse além do que me forma, algo que transcende a arte de elaborar sentimentos em simbologias. Se eu ainda estava coberto por papel de balas do outro lado da ponte, pessoas ainda estavam sendo perseguidas.”
“Reese," I say, still in a daze. I am totally dead-fishing our handshake, but he doesn't seem to notice.
"Like Reese's Cups, the best candy in the history of the world?" He gives me a lopsided grin and I blink back at him.

“Reese's Pieces. Way to undersell your casual drawing habit to me," he says, giving me an assessing once-over. "That's some secret weapon to whip out without warning."
I widen my eyes, feigning innocence, "Oh, was I supposed to give written notice? 'Dear Benny, I'm about to make an effort at my job'?"
Teagan covers a giggle with her hand. "I mean, he's not wrong to be worried. You delivered Margie a whole-ass branding package, while he's been cleaning kitchens and waiting for Aiden to tell him when to start cooking again."
I bite my lip, trying to hide the gratification I get at Benny feeling any of the self-consciousness I'm so accustomed to.”

“Reese Witherspoon is my everywoman. She's managed to have a family and this amazing career. That's the goal.”
“Reese Witherspoon. She's sophisticated enough that you just like her. You like her and she's smart.”
“Reese, your books might not tell you this, so I will. Every heart has two parts, the part that pumps and the part that loves. If you’re going to spend your life fixing broken hearts, then learn about both. You can’t just fix one with no concern for the other.”
“ref·u·gee noun: a person who flees for refuge or safety
We are, each of us, refugees
when we flee from burning buildings
into the arms of loving families.
When we flee from floods and earthquakes
to sleep on blue mats in community centres.
We are, each of us, refugees
when we flee from abusive relationships,
and shooters in cinemas
and shopping centres.
Sometimes it takes only a day
for our countries to persecute us
because of our creed, race, or sexual orientation.
Sometimes it takes only a minute
for the missiles to rain down
and leave our towns in ruin and destitution.
We are, each of us, refugees
longing for that amniotic tranquillity
dreaming of freedom and safety
when fences and barbed wires spring into walled gardens.
Lebanese, Sudanese, Libyan and Syrian,
Yemeni, Somali, Palestinian, and Ethiopian,
like our brothers and sisters,
we are, each of us, refugees.
The bombs fell in their cafés and squares
where once poetry, dancing, and laughter prevailed.
Only their olive trees remember music and merriment now
as their cities wail for departed children without a funeral.
We are, each of us, refugees.
Don’t let stamped paper tell you differently.
We’ve been fleeing for centuries
because to stay means getting bullets in our heads
because to stay means being hanged by our necks
because to stay means being jailed, raped and left for dead.
But we can, each of us, serve as one another’s refuge
so we don't board dinghies when we can’t swim
so we don’t climb walls with snipers aimed at our chest
so we don’t choose to remain and die instead.
When home turns into hell,
you, too, will run
with tears in your eyes screaming rescue me!
and then you’ll know for certain:
you've always been a refugee.”

“Referee Norlinger is outstanding in the sense that he stands out.”
“Referees and linesmen are killing teams.”
“Referees are only human, I think.”
“Referees don't come down here with a particular flavoured shirt on.”
“Referees need help. Players are getting faster and fitter and too many referees are making decisions from behind the play. They see a tangle of legs, they are asked to make a decision with one, often obscured look at high speed.”
“Reference frames in the old brain learn maps of environments. Reference frames in the what columns of the neocortex learn maps of physical objects. Reference frames in the where columns of the neocortex learn maps of the space around the body. And, finally, reference frames in the non-sensory columns of the neocortex learn maps of concepts.
To be an expert in any domain requires having a good reference frame, a good map.”
