James Clavell
“So easy now that Elder Sister has explained to her what all young girls in houses are taught鈥攖hat with care and meticulous acting and tears of pretended pain and fear, and the final modest telltale stains cautiously placed, a girl can, if necessary, be virgin ten times for ten different men.”
James Clavell, Tai-Pan

Henry David Thoreau
“The whole of the day should not be daytime, nor of the night night-time, but some portion be rescued from time to oversee time in. All our hours must not be current; all our time must not lapse. There must be one hour at least which the day did not bring forth鈥攐f ancient parentage and long established nobility鈥攚hich will be a serene and lofty platform overlooking the rest.

We should make our notch every day on our characters, as Robinson Crusoe on his stick. We must be at the helm at least once a day; we must feel the tiller-rope in our hands, and know that if we sail, we steer.”
Henry David Thoreau
