I slay.
Joss Whedon
#41. My dad is like a cactus - introverted and tough. I'm a people person, like my mom, but I got my competitiveness from my dad.

Autre Ne Veut
#93. It seems to be saying perpetually; 'I am the end of the nineteenth century; I am glad they built me of iron; let me rust.' ... It is like a passing fool in a crowd of the University, a buffoon in the hall; for all the things in Paris has made, it alone has neither wits nor soul.
