“In the past decade or so, the women's magazines have taken to running home-handyperson articles suggesting that women can learn to fix things just as well as men. These articles are apparently based on the ludicrous assumption that _men_ know how to fix things, when in fact all they know how to do is _look_ at things in a certain squinty-eyed manner, which they learned in Wood Shop; eventually, when enough things in the home are broken, they take a job requiring them to transfer to another home.” KnowsMenWellsEnoughFactsHomeRunningJobsPastCertainKnow HowTakenBrokenMen And WomenWoodsDecadesMagazinesAssumptionShopsArticlesTransfersSuggesting Author:Robert Briffault
“The beauty of having nothing to lose, is you learn the beauty of having everything to gain. This is where hope lives. Hope can’t be taken. Hope can’t be lost. Hope can’t be broken. When we are boiled down to what we are as people. We are not love, because we hope to love, we are not money or who we hold, because we hope to have and to hold. We are not religion or God, because we enter into belief in the hope we get something back for ourselves. We are not a soul. We are hope.” PeopleSoulBeliefLostLosesLove IsTakenBrokenGainsNothing To LoseLost Hope Author:Craig Stone
“The years between thirty-five and sixty-five revolve before the passive mind as one unexplained, confusing merry-go-round. True, they are a merry-go-round of ill-gaited and wind-broken horses, painted first in pastel colors, then in dull grays and browns, but perplexing and intolerably dizzy the thing is, as never were the merry-go-rounds of childhood or adolescence; as never, surely, were the certain-coursed, dynamic roller-coasters of youth. For most men and women these thirty years are taken up with a gradual withdrawal from life.” MenYearsMindFirstsCertainTakenFiveChildhoodYouthColorWindBrokenMen And WomenHorseRoundsIllThirtyDullSixtyPassiveAdolescenceConfusingMerryThirty YearsWithdrawalRoller CoasterCoastersDizzyUnexplainedMerry Go RoundPastel Book:The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Other Jazz Age Stories Source: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Other Jazz Age Stories

“The term "bend sinister" means a heraldic bar or band drawn from the left side (and popularly, but incorrectly, supposed to denote bastardy). This choice of title was an attempt to suggest an outline broken by refraction, a distortion in the mirror of being, a wrong turn taken by life, a sinistral and sinister world. The title's drawback is that a solemn reader looking for "general ideas" or "human interest" (which is much the same thing) in a novel may be led to look for them in this one.” WorldHumansLooksMayMeanIdeasTurnsChoicesLeftSidesTermInterestNovelTakenBrokenReaderBandMirrorsBarsTitlesSolemnOutlinesDistortionSinisterDrawbacksWrong Turn Author:Vladimir Nabokov
