7. "From a philosophical point of view, her behaviour is logical enough. Reflect upon the continual, wearisome pregnancies, the price of a momentary and I may say aleatory pleasure. Reflect upon the physical discomfort of a full udder, to say nothing of the parturition, with its attendant perils. I do not mention the uneasiness of seeing one's offspring turned into a blanquette de veau; for this is peculiar to the cow. Were I a female of any kind, I should beg to decline these general cares; and were I, in this particular case, a heifer, I should certainly choose to remain dry. Yet it must be confessed that from a domestical point of view celibacy in a cow takes on a different aspect entirely: here the general good calls out for teeming loins."
Stephen Maturin in Patrick O'Brian's The Mauritius Command

"I was told to say whatever was in my heart. And I thought I was going to say something about how he was my boss, and how he gave me a second chance, and how he trusted me. About how sometimes he treated me like he thought I was an idiot, and sometimes treated me like he was my boss, and sometimes - very occasionally - treated me like a friend. I was going to say something about how he died. And about how that's what I wanted to do too. But that isn't what's in my heart. Not really. He was the most important person in the world to me, and he's gone. But you can't kill dreams. Not really. I mean, despair may be the thing that comes after hope, but there's still hope. Right? When there's no hope you might as well be dead. What's in my heart. A lot of sorrow. A little regret. And the memory of the coolest, strangest, most infuriating boss... friend... boss... I ever had. That's what."

7)"The answers are getting harder and harder.
And there ain't no way to bargain or to barter.
But if you've got the agnst or you've got the ardor.
You might faint from the fight, but you're gonna find it.
For every challenge could have paradise behind it.
If you accept what you have lost, and you stand tall,
You might just get it back, you could get it all.
So now you know why it's a long way to fall.
Yes, why it's a long way to fall.
