The scene appeared to have been scooped from the pages of a book on colonial history and plopped intact onto the face of the Massachusetts countryside - like a dollop of ice cream on a wedge of apple pie. p137
. a dilly of a bruise. p221

"Living History," by Hilary Rodham Clinton, c. 2003
(edited May 17th, 18th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd to include a quote)
I have almost finished The Sea, The Sea by Iris Murdoch, c. 1978. This one is next. The book comes from booksfree.com
I collect quotes as I read. These ones are fun, poetical, or even philosophical. Take what you like, and leave the rest. Note that these aren't necessarily the "best" in the book. These happen to be close to the spot where I stopped reading each night.
I thought of him as a force of nature and wondered whether I'd be up to the task of living through his seasons. p61
I craved information like oxygen. p176
[comment: I love this one - particularly as I am an information professional.]
Bill often reminds me of the boy who is digging furiously in a barn filled with manure. When someone asks why, he says, "With all this manure, there's got to be a pony in here somewhere." p397
All we had to do was figure out a name for the dog. We vacillated and made lists. People wrote letters with suggestions and devised dog-naming contests. Two of my favorite candidates were Arkanpaws and Clin Tin Tin. p436
[comment: great play on words]
.. she says, "It just got too hard." Hanks replies, "It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it - the hard is what makes it great." p501
[comment: cliche but good]
