The back windows looked out over the fields, then the atlantic, maybe a hundred yards away. actually, i'm just making that bit up. i had no idea how far away the sea was. only men could do things like that. "half a mile." "fifty yards." giving directions, that sort of thing. i could look at a woman and say "thirty-six c." or "let's try it in the next size up." but i had no idea how far away tim's sea was except that i wouldn't want to walk to it in high heels.

To a student: dear miss - i have read about sixteen pages of your manuscript . . . i suffered exactly the same treatment at the hands of my teachers who disliked me for my independence and passed over me when they wanted assistants. . . . keep your manuscript for your sons and daughters, in order that they may derive consolation from it and not give a damn for what their teachers tell them or think of them. . . . there is too much education altogether.

Roger stooped, picked up a stone, aimed and threw it at henry-threw it to miss. the stone, that token of preposterous time, bounced five yards to henry's right and fell in the water. roger gathered a handful of stones and began to throw them. yet there was a space round henry, perhaps six yards in diameter, into which he dare not throw. here, invisible yet strong, was the taboo of the old life. round the squatting child was the protection of parents and school and policemen and the law. roger was conditioned by a civilization that knew nothing of him and was in ruins.

Creeping with awe to the verge, i peered down into a large rent which had been made from bank to bank of the broad zambezi, and saw that a stream of a thousand yards broad leaped down a hundred feet [30 m] and then became suddenly compressed into a space of fifteen to twenty yards.

You cover 50 yards on the playing field of faith with a story that downplays your success. you cover 3 yards, or you may even end up backward, with anything that up-plays or promotes you.

I try to pick music for a diner that doesnt involve a lot of lyrics, so you're not paying attention to that. as long as it doesnt dominate the party, it should be more atmosphere music. when i'm by myself, i never play music.
