“Wal-mart started selling “Vampire Home Defense Kits”, including holy water, crosses, stakes, mallets, and a book of quick blessings to bar vampires from your door. The fact that these kits were generally useless didn't bother me nearly as much as the idea of holy water being sold at wal-mart.” BookIdeasFactsHomeWaterDoorsHolyBlessingCrossesIncludingDefenseBarsSellingVampireUselessBotherStakesHoly Water Book:Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs Source: Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs
“Agriculture seems to be the first pursuit of civilized man. It enables him to escape from the life of the savage, and wandering shepherd, into that of social man, gathered into fixed communities and surrounding himself with the comforts and blessings of neighborhood, country, and home. It is agriculture alone, that fixes men in stationary dwellings, in villages, in towns, and cities, and enables the work of civilizations, in all its branches, to go on.” MenFirstsCountryHomeSeemsSocialCommunityCitiesGoes OnComfortCivilizationBlessingTownsPursuitWanderFixedBranchesNeighborhoodCivilizedVillageAgricultureSavagesDwellingShepherdsStationary Author:Edward Everett
