I found some turkey vultures sunning themselves by the road after a rain storm near the carcass of a deer. The way they were looking at me, I felt like a fresh cupcake topped with buttercream frosting.
When you look at a cupcake, you’ve got to smile.
Quotation from Anne Byrn
And sometimes things to bed I take,
As prudent sailors have to do;
Perhaps a slice of wedding-cake,
Perhaps a toy or two.
Quotation from Robert Louis Stevensen, My Bed is a Boat
It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself— anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: Facecrime.
Quotation from George Orwell, 1984
