“The only real river I knew was hardly more than a brook. It spilled through a tumbledown mill at the bottom of our road, opened into a little trouty pool, then ran on through water meadows over graveled shallows into Fakenham [England], where it slowed and deepened, gathering strength for the long drifts across muddy flatlands to Norwich and the North Sea.”

“If you have the words, there's always a chance that you'll find the way.”
“TV is the best babysitter.”
“Once I got home, I sulked for a while. All my brilliant plans foiled by thermodynamics. Damn you, Entropy!”
“I'm a mess of unfinished thoughts.”
“One good song with a message can bring a point more deeply to more people than a thousand rallies.”
