“I had rather munch a crust of brown bread and an onion in a corner, without any more ado or ceremony, than feed upon turkey at another man?s table, where one is fain to sit mincing and chewing his meat an hour together, drink little, be always wiping his fingers and his chops, and never dare to cough nor sneeze, though he has never so much a mind to it, nor do a many things which a body may do freely by one?s self.” MenMindMayLittlesSelfBodyTogetherHoursDrinkTablesFingersDareCornersBreadMeatBrownCeremonyTurkeysAnother ManOnionsChewing Author:Miguel de Cervantes
“It is an accurate statement that the followers of Witchcraft do not usually proselytize, which means you aren't going to find us standing on your local street corner thumping our Books of Shadows. Nor do you have to worry about jumping out of the shower to answer our serene and smiling faces at the door with your clothes stuck to various uncomfortable places on your wet body. But just because we (hopefully) aren't the forcible type doesn't mean we don't exist.” MeanBookBodyFacesAnswersWorryDoorsStreetsTypeClothesShadowStandingVariousCornersStuckStatementsLocalsHopefullyUncomfortableFollowersAccurateWetShowersJumpingWitchcraftSereneStreet CornersSmiling Faces Book:To Ride a Silver Broomstick: New Generation Witchcraft Source: To Ride a Silver Broomstick: New Generation Witchcraft

That person then disappears and is lost to you forever.” PersonsBodyFacesTurnsLostSidesForeverStreetsWalkingShapesCommittedCornersDisappearSensesShouldersInstantGoing AwayGesturesGlimpseAway From You Author:Joel Meyerowitz
“Most religion-mongers have bated their paradises with a bit of toasted cheese. They have tempted the body with large promises of possessions in their transmortal El Dorado.

“If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field That is forever England. There shall be In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam, A body of England's, breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.” IfsThinkingWayShouldMadeBookHomeBodyEarthDiesSunForeverRichAirFieldsFlowerRiversEnglandCornersDustBreathingBoresConcealed Author:Rupert Brooke
