    “Soldier: Hey colonel, I got me a prisoner. What should I do with him?
    Col. John Marlowe: Spank him.”
    —John Lee Mahin (1902–1984)

    “Strange goings on! Jones did it slowly, deliberately, in the bathroom, with a knife, at midnight. What he did was butter a piece of toast. We are too familiar with the language of action to notice at first an anomaly: the ‘it’ of ‘Jones did it slowly, deliberately,...’ seems to refer to some entity, presumably an action, that is then characterized in a number of ways.”
    —Donald Davidson (b. 1917)

    “the cluttered eyes
    of early mysterious night.”
    —Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)

    “He was a self-made man who owed his lack of success to nobody.”
    —Joseph Heller (b. 1923)
