Richelle MeadTHE WILD ROSEโ โ BY WENDELL BERRY Sometimes, hidden from me in daily custom and in ritual I live by you unaware, as if by the beating of my heart.

Wendell BerryThe cousin said that Gypsy [Rose Lee] took a full fifteen minutes to peel off a single glove, and that she was so damn good at it he gladly would've given her fifteen more.

Robert Murray M'CheyneSeeing him like this, dressed just for her in so patent a manner, she could not hold back the fiery blush that rose to her face.

Gabriel Garcia MarquezI have an evening dress, pink mull over silk (I'm perfectly beautiful in that), and a blue church dress, and a dinner dress of red veiling with Oriental trimming (makes me look like a Gipsy), and another of rose-coloured challis, and a grey street suit, and an every-day dress for classes.

Kevin BrockmeierHis love for my mother wasn't about looking back and loving something that would never change.
