A word after a word after a word is power. - [Words] The answers you get from literature depend on the questions you pose. - [Literature] They all disowned their parents long ago, the way you are supposed to. - [Parents] War is what happens when language fails. - [War] Time is not a line but a dimension, like the dimensions of space. - Cat's Eye [Books (First Lines)] Ten days after the war ended, my sister Laura drove a car off a bridge. The bridge was being repaired: she went right through the Danger sign. The car fell a hundred feet into the ravine, smashing through the treetops feathery with new leaves, then burst into flames and rolled down into the shallow creek at the bottom. Chunks of the bridge fell on top of it. Nothing much was left but charred smithereens. - The Blind Assassin [Books (First Lines)] We slept in what had once been the gymnasium.
