|  The art of losing isn't hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster. | | All my life I have lived and behaved very much like the sandpiper - just running down the edges of different countries and continents, 'looking for something'. | | The pigs stuck out their little feet and snored. | | The armored cars of dreams, contrived to let us do so many a dangerous thing. | | What childishness is it that while there's breath of life in our bodies, we are determined to rush to see the sun the other way around? | | The whole shadow of Man is only as big as his hat. |
