“Creeping with awe to the verge, I peered down into a large rent which had been made from bank to bank of the broad Zambezi, and saw that a stream of a thousand yards broad leaped down a hundred feet [30 m] and then became suddenly compressed into a space of fifteen to twenty yards.” MadeSpaceSawsFeetThousandHundredTwentiesStreamsAweBroadsFifteenYardsVerge Author:David Livingstone
“Processions that lack high stilts have nothing that catches the eye.

“I reeled my head back, and with violent, uncontrollable contortions, I launched a spray of yellow, soupy duckfoot vomit into the air ... I (didn't see) where my regurgitated lunch had ended up after it'd been blasted from my throat. I booked it out of the now-befouled Chang'an Theater as fast as possible.

“We [with Brandy Burre ] like fifteen feet away from each other. You can see my house and my car in pretty much every exterior shot in the movie. It was like filming at my extended house. My kids and her kids are the same age and they're best friends. Every summer they play with each other. We were intensely close friends beforehand in part because we take care of each other's kids.” PlayCareKidsAgeHouseFeetCarSummerShotsTake CareFifteenExteriorClose FriendsBrandyAway From Each Other Author:Robert Greene
