1. Herodotus said, "In peace, sons bury their fathers, in war, fathers bury their sons."

Herodotus said it, but Daniel Quinn, who wrote Ishmael, didn't quote it.


2. We spoke of covenants and reconciliation that day, and about the soul’s assumption of its ‎rightful import as the true master of a life.

Saranita seduced Kalleh with this line.

3. Walking into a room where a five hundred twelve pound colossus of a gorilla is sleeping is not my idea of a fun way to start my day.

I tossed this one in just to make Jo go ape.

4. I have sat now for more than half the morning watching a terrapin struggling to climb the shore only to be dragged back by each sucking wave.

Caterwauller was compelled to select Bob Hale's contribution.

5. Cognitive scientists point out that anthropocentrism is a dominant mythology.

Nobody, alas, picked Kalleh's scientific approach.

6. The first time I read the ad, I choked and cursed and spat and threw the paper to the floor.

Saranita must have read the book, 'cuz she got it right.

7. He was lost.

Cat got herself lost writing this one.

8. Payback is a bitch, I am told; but revenge is sweet whether hot or cold, and I wanted revenge in the worst kind of way.

Jo's revenge was for naught this time.

9. All too often I have seen pity led astray.

The opening line of St-Exupery's [The Wisdom of The Sands], his last published work, seduced Bob.
