Jeremy JonesIn February, the overcast sky isnโt gloomy so much as neutral and vague. Itโs a significant factor in the common experience of depression among the locals. The snow crunches under your boots and clings to your trousers, to the cuffs, and once youโre inside, the snow clings to you psyche, and eventually you have to go to the doctor.

Frank O'HaraSome people don't mind a little constitutional sophistry in a good cause; and for liberals, centralizing all power in the federal government is always a good cause.

Joseph SobranOne June evening, when the orchards were pink-blossomed again, when the frogs were singing silverly sweet in the marshes about the head of the Lake of Shining Waters, and the air was full of the savor of clover fields and balsamic fir woods, Anne was sitting by her gable window. She had been studying her lessons, but it had grown too dark to see the book, so she had fallen into wide-eyed reverie, looking out past the boughs of the Snow Queen, once more bestarred with its tufts of blossom.
Lucy Maud MontgomeryIt is the work of the Canadian artist to paint or play or write in such a way that life will be enlarged for himself and his fellow man.

Daniel HandlerA lot of times, I think that what I do for a living has no integrity.

Around the glistening wonder bent The blue walls of the firmament, No cloud above, no earth below,โ A universe of sky and snow!

Ernest ShackletonThough Snow White might triumph in the tale, she will undoubtedly acquire a mirror after she marries, matures, and has children, and as the mirror reflects her aging and loss of beauty, she will be confronted by a young girl whose innocence and youth will spark her envy and hatred and perhaps drive her to eliminate her โcompetition.โ It appears as though there is a vicious cycle that entraps women up through today. Everything is played out under the male gaze.
