"Pleasure, in itself harmless, may become mischievous, by endearing to us a state which we know to be transient and probatory, and withdrawing our thoughts from that of which every hour brings us nearer to the beginning, and of which no length of time will bring us to the end.

In the state of future perfection, to which we all aspire, there will be pleasure without danger, and security without restraint."

Then he reached into his pocket, twisted a key off his key chain, and slipped it into the front pocket of my pajama top. 'Once you've gone inside, you have to keep coming back."

"I feel all agitated, like one of those snow globes you see resting peacefully on shop counters. I was perfectly happy being an ordinary, dull little Swiss village.

In fact, it sounds more like...Mum.I don't believe it."
