Mark

“Sometimes the road is level and easy, and the birds are singing and the way is wonderful. But sometimes the road is rocky and bumpy, and we hear no music and feel no helping hand. Then what?

Charlie”

“What's the bravest thing you ever did?

― Cormac McCarthy, The Road

“(Mr. Cruncher himself always spoke of the year of our Lord as Anna Dominoes: apparently under the impression that the Christian era dated from the invention of a popular game, by a lady who had bestowed her name upon it.)”
― Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
