The day Archimedes hopped out of the bathtub was a fine day...buoyancy, and an excuse for future generations to prance about with no clothes on, provided they've got a good excuse. I've made use of it a few times, myself- the gentlemen of the University usually look the other way deranged mathematicians streak past. -Master Blackwell
I don't know a lot about history- except for the stuff my father and Sonya taught me about the creation of the Earth. And then, Sonya told me about Christ and how the Romans were terrible to him...probably not the best part of history, but he helped a lot of people out, I suppose. -David
God's pact with Abram. It's funny, to be a Jew- nearly four thousand years, and we're still buggered. - Mr. Rosten
Where would you go and what would you see, if you had the money for a two-week trip to anywhere in the world?
Graffiti is the most passionate form of literature there is.
Oh, God, I'd want an entire team of researchers to be searching around the clock in their laboratory for the Elixir of Life- something that'd bring Lise back, no matter how creepy the result.
Hmm. That's a few things. ...maybe a down blanket? It gets drafty in the wintertime and Rowan's too much of a simpleton to be mindful and fetch me a blanket. -Adelais
I want a boat. Not a big one- just a small sailboat, like the kind Verplanck makes down at the wharves. Barclett keeps saying that I'll kill myself or a seagull will go on my head, but that's a risk worth taking for the sea, and all. Perhaps if I furnished the money for it, he'd let me go? - Upton
Mmmm. The new Worthington bayonet model- the European version, not the terribly dysfunctional type the hooligan Virginians have got over here. It's so, so beautiful...to merely hold it would make one weep. - Lieutenant
EDIT: Oops! Did your parents ever tell you cautionary stories- the types that get you to behave? If so, what were they and what effect did they have on you?

quote]
"You might say that my entire thirteenth year was a cautionary tale to frighten small children with."~Dorian
"Yes, Una used to tell me stories like that, very detailed descriptions of what happened to younglings that daydreamed and didn't watch their step, or didn't take their medicine when they were supposed to...in retrospect, I guess they were probably pretty gruesome for a six-year-old. But they did have the desired effect."~Kalli
"Oh, yes. I never believed any of them."~Faelodel
"Somehow, Milady, that does not surprise me..."~Galwyn
Do you have a best friend? If so, how did you meet them?
I don't have any best friends...the one from first grade betrayed my trust in fifth, my sixth grade friends are now populars, and i'm not. And my seventh grade friend doesn't want any friends anymore.
The friendship between a man and a woman which does not lead to marriage or desire for marriage may be a life long experience of the greatest value to themselves and to all their circle of acquaintance and of activity; but for this type of friendship both a rare man and a rare woman are needed. Perhaps it should be added that either the man or the woman thus deeply bound in lifelong friendship who seeks marriage must find a still rarer man or woman to wed, to make such a three cornered comradeship a permanent success. - Anna Spencer
Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back. - Blaise Pascal
Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You, too? Thought I was the only one." -C.S. Lewis
*What is something you consider super special about yourself? A talent perhaps? What do other people say about it?*
Whenever I'm with my mother, I feel as though I have to spend the whole time avoiding land mines. - Amy Tan
She was the archetypal selfless mother: living only for her children, sheltering them from the consequences of their actions -- and in the end doing them irreparable harm. - Marcia Muller
*Do you act different in public than around your family?*
What's the most disgusting food you've ever eaten?
Let me think for a minute. Oh, I know! When I was running from that dragon slayer, Nathaniel, on Sparrow's Peak. I had to eat on the run and the only thing I could find was a rabbit. Those things are really rubbery. -Peter Zimmerman
If you could change one event in your past what would it be? How would that change effect your life today?
