Winter Penguin Sayings

#1. I want there to be an open and positive debate about the path the country will now take. Whatever the verdict of that debate I will respect it.

Michael Gove

#2. She'd been accepted to the one school she'd applied to, early, for no other reason than that she'd loved the oddball essay questions in the application. How such small things can decide one's fate.

Lauren Groff

#3. [...] that magic power of fascination by which a woman can charm with a word or intoxicate with a smile

Mary Elizabeth Braddon

#4. Good health is a duty to yourself, to your contemporaries, to your inheritors, to the progress of the world.

Gwendolyn Brooks

#5. I became fascinated by the fact that you could translate written material into performance.

Raymond Cruz

Joe Bob Briggs

#7. I hope for what I always hope for as a writer: a critical but kind reader. I think that is what we all hope for.

-Lord Peter Wimsey

Dorothy L. Sayers

Renzo Piano

#11. I have been in the bodies of starvers and purgers, gluttons and addicts. They all think their actions make their lives more desirable. But the body
always defeats them in the end.

#12. Our wings serve as flippers that carry us across the ocean; not in the sky!
Why, us penguins have so much fun time in the water, we don't even want to fly!

Jasmine Jean

#13. If you march your Winter Journeys you will have your reward, so long as all you want is a penguin's egg.
