“Lordy, lordy, lordy do I love money. It is a character flaw, no doubt, one that springs from a panicked childhood in which I always felt as if our family was only a couple missed child support payments from being tossed onto the pitiless streets of our suburban New Jersey town.” IfsChildrenCharacterFeltSupportDoubtStreetsChildhoodCoupleSpringTownsOur FamilyNo DoubtFlawsJerseyPaymentNew JerseyLove Of MoneyCharacter FlawsI Love Money Author:Michael Ian Black
“I've never lost a friend over work. I come from a small-town environment and I remember my childhood impressions that, if you were a conniver or a fink or whatever, everybody knew about it and you were a louse for the rest of your life. So I never lost those values in some way.” IfsWayRememberValuesLostEnvironmentChildhoodTownsImpressionSmall TownRest Of Your LifeLost Friend Author:Jack Nicholson

“I spent my entire childhood in the same town, in Kent. I went to grade school there. There was a boarding school that my mother taught at, called - appropriately enough - Kent School, that I went to.

“Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains; another, a moonlit beach; a third, a family dinner of pot roast and sweet potatoes during a myrtle-mad August in a Midwestern town. Smells detonate softly in our memory like poignant land mines hidden under the weedy mass of years. Hit a tripwire of smell and memories explode all at once. A complex vision leaps out of the undergrowth.” LoveYearsMemoriesVisionLandChildhoodMinesSweetMountainSummerMassThirdsTownsMadComplexesDinnerSmellBeachMemorableUnexpectedLakesLeapPotScentFleetingPotatoesOur MemoriesAugustMomentaryPoignantMyrtleFamily DinnerSweet PotatoesSweet Memories Author:Diane Ackerman
