I don't even like the game very much, I think it's silly, but I so miss physical activity that I'd be thrilled if I could run around the gymnasium with a broom between my legs, chasing after the human snitch wearing a gold pinny.” IfsThinkingHumansPlayRunningGirlGamesClassBoysMissingActivitySittingGoldLegsSillyIf I CouldChasingHealth And FitnessPhysical ActivityBroomsMugglesGymnasiumsBleachersSnitchPersonal HealthQuidditch Author:Megan McCafferty

“Coral reefs are under assault. They are rapidly being degraded by human activities. They are over-fished, bombed and poisoned. They are smothered by sediment, and choked by algae growing on nutrient-rich sewage and fertilizer run-off. They are damaged by irresponsible tourism and are being severely stressed by the warming of the world's oceans. Each of these pressures is bad enough in itself, but together, the cocktail is proving lethal.” WorldHumansEnoughRunningTogetherAnimalRichGrowingActivityProveCreaturesOceanPressureAssaultStressedIrresponsibleTourismCocktailsHuman ActivityReefsNutrientsFertilizerSewageAlgaeCoral Reefs Author:Klaus Topfer

“The idea of a wanton woman is something I have inserted into almost all of my books. An outlaw figure who is disallowed in the community because of her imagination or activity or status - that kind of anarchic figure has always fascinated me. And the benefits they bring with them, in spite of the fact that they are either dismissed or upbraided - something about their presence is constructive in the long run.” KindLongBookIdeasFactsRunningCommunityImaginationFiguresActivityBenefitsSpiteFascinatedLong RunsConstructiveOutlawWanton Author:Toni Morrison

“For war to man, like childbirth to women, is simplifying in its emotions and activities. All the real problems of life can be put aside while the one thing is done and little thought is needed to do it. ... His hatreds can be expressed without censure, he can let his emotions run free, he can behave as dramatically, as heroically as he likes, and no one laughs at him. It is almost impossible for a man to behave heroically in the cool and ordinary times of peace. But in war anything is allowed him, he is praised and applauded and made much of, as women are excused and allowed for in pregnancy.” MenLittlesMadeWarRealDoneProblemRunningEmotionLaughingImpossibleOne ThingNeededActivityOrdinaryHatredLikesBehavePregnancyChildbirthReal ProblemsCensure Author:Pearl S.
