en The sound shivers through the walls, through the table, through the window frame, and into my finger. These distraction-oholics. These focus-ophobics. Old George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isn't watching. He's singing and dancing. He's pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother's holding your attention every moment you're awake. He's making sure you're always distracted. He's making sure you're fully absorbed... and this being fed, it's worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what's in your mind. With everyone's imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world.

en I suppose every old scholar has had the experience of reading something in a book which was significant to him, but which he could never find again. Sure he is that he read it there, but no one else ever read it, nor can he find it again, though he buy the book and ransack every page.

We added spotlights before school started this year so we could spotlight our authors.

en [Yale architectural historian Vince Scully arose with other leaders to forcefully denounce the plan.] The removal of the [courthouse], ... would serve two cataclysmic purposes, since it would both cut the side of the [New Haven] Green and, in the manner made famous by Orwell in his 1984, cut a central piece out of our civic memory, through which our dignities as men are developed and sustained.

en Richard read nearly 45 years worth of the National Tribune on microfilm, which is an incredibly difficult thing to do.

en George Orwell, James Joyce, Gertrude Stein and almost any writer you could name received rejection letters, ... Margaret Mitchell got rejection letters from 38 different publishers before anyone finally deigned to publish her novel, 'Gone With The Wind.'

en I love the Plymouth library. I went to the history room and read the book on the 20th century history of Plymouth and thought it was great. I read they were going to do a second book.

en There's one painting that historically would have been better, ... because it was painted at the beginning of the Impressionist movement, and the one we're using is painted later.
