But here you are, and you cannot say that the terrain is entirely unfamiliar, although the details are fuzzy.” – Bright Lights, Big City, Jay McInerney “The old priest tottered exhaustedly into his little house and closed himself into the bathroom. Washed his face, his hands, dried them carefully and slowly with a soft hand towel.” – The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse, Louise Erdrich “Finally, here are some questions about ourselves and the world: How can we be sure that the world is really like we take it to be? What is knowledge, and how much do we have?” – Think, Simon Blackburn "I could picture it. I have a rotten habit of picturing the bedroom scenes of my friends. We went out to the Cafe Napolitain to have an aperitif and watch the evening crowd on the Boulevard." – The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemingway.
