“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Karen: I never knew it could be like this. Nobody ever kissed me the way you do.

Sergeant Warden: I wouldn’t know. Can’t you give me a rough estimate?
Karen: Not without an adding machine.”
—Daniel Taradash (b. 1913)
