"And time," she would tell Dr. Wiss. "Well, you know about time." (Anne Tyler)

"And time," she would tell Dr. Wiss. "Well, you know about time. How slow it is when you're little and how it speeds up faster and faster once you're grown. Well, now it's just a blur. I can't keep track of it anymore! But it's like time is sort of...balanced. We're young for such a small fraction of our lives, and yet our youth seems to stretch on forever. Then we're old for years and years, but time flies by fastest then. So it all comes out equal in the end, don't you see."

Anne Tyler (in A Spool Of Blue Thread)

The female body is a work of art (Elaine Benes)

The female body is a work of art. The male body is utilitarian. It's for gettin' around. It's like an all-terrain vehicle. Elaine Benes.
