“I am a product of endless books. My father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. There were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...In the seemingly endless rainy afternoons I took volume after volume from the shelves. I had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.” MenTwoBookFatherWalksRoomsStudyFieldsProductsFindingsDrawingEndlessShouldersCertaintyGrassAfternoonVolumeBedroomShelvesBladesLandingRainyGreat BookAtticsBlades Of GrassBookcases Author:C.

“To me, video games aren't something as necessary as food or sleep, but they're just as important as delicious food, drinks, afternoon naps, walks, music, and sex (or masturbation). Not having them won't kill you, but without them, your life would be so boring you might as well be dead.” WellsImportantMightWould BeGamesSexSleepWalksDrinkBoringVideoAfternoonDeliciousNapsMasturbationSo BoringDelicious FoodAfternoon Naps Author:Hidetaka Suehiro

“At noon, you walk across a river. It is dry, with not this much water: it is just stones and pebbles. But it rains cats and dogs in the mountains, and towards afternoon, the water descends wildly and she ravages all in its path, the madwoman. That is how death comes. Without our expecting it, and we cannot do a thing against it, brothers.” WaterWalksPathFateDogBrotherMountainRainRiversStonesCatDryAfternoonExpectingNoonPebblesCat And Dog Author:Jacques Roumain
“During terms, Professor Marsden lives in Cambridge with his wife, chess player extraordinaire and distinguished physician and surgeon Bryony Asquith Marsden. His favorite time of day is half past six in the evening, when he meets Mrs. Marsden's train at the station, as the latter returns from her day in London. On Sunday afternoons, rain or shine, Professor and Mrs. Marsden take a walk along The Backs, and treasure growing old together.” TogetherPastTermWalksHalfWifeGrowingPlayerReturnSixRainShiningTrainLondonChessTreasureEveningLatterSundayStationsProfessorsAfternoonPhysiciansDistinguishedGrowing OldSurgeonsChess PlayersCambridgeTime Of DaySunday AfternoonsRain Or Shine Author:Sherry Thomas
