And we shake our heads in an inability to comprehend what went wrong here.
Merrill MarkoeI also stole a small yellow doughnut from the box of Duncan's doughnuts in the rec room and fed it to the attack poodle in my office. He made a great production of it.

Ilona AndrewsThe drama's altar isn't on the stage: it is candle-sticked and flowered in the box office.

Mitchell HurwitzIn general, the nightmare quality of Marx's thought gives it, in this bedevilled age, an air of greater reality than the gentle complacency of the orthodox academics.
