Don’t you agree that, on one’s first visit to Florence, one must have a room with a view?

“I had to assume this was the end for the series. So I thought it was time for Sherlock to stop beating around the bushes and let the subtext be the text for once. When you look at any of our seasons, what you see or feel between them is love. I think that’s the way it is for all Watsons and Holmes, or Holmeses…  If I thought it was the last time I was going to see someone I cared about, I think I would say that with great ease. It’s why Sherlock was able to say it in that moment. He really thought it was goodbye, and you don’t walk away from even a platonic relationship without telling your partner how you feel. I wish there was an even more appropriate word than “platonic.” It’s fraternal. There’s great love, and there’s great respect, but there’s no romance.”  — Robert Doherty

“In Alaska, Patricia Cochran, a Yupik native scientist, told me “we have no word for ‘wilderness.’ What you call ‘wilderness’ we call our back yard. To us, none of Alaska is wilderness as defined by the 1964 Wilderness Act — a place without people. We are deeply insulted by that concept, as we are by the whole idea of ‘wilderness designation’ that too often excludes native Alaskans from ancestral lands.” Yupiks also have no word for biodiversity. Its closest approximation means food. And the O’odham (Pima) word for wilderness is etymologically related to their terms for health, wholeness, and liveliness.”

Even trees understand me! Good heavens, I lie under them, too, don't I? I'm just like a pile of leaves.

Yet Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights are very different from each other. . . . Some of their novels' themes have a family resemblance, but the difference between Emily's slant on them and Charlotte's is as great as the difference between Charlotte's Rochester and Emily's Heathcliff. In Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, women make large claims for themselves, fail to resent the free talk and shocking behavior of the men in their lives, and in general act far more independently than ladies should. Yet the rebellions mounted in Jane Eyre are different in their kind and course from those mounted in Wuthering Heights. In Jane Eyre, rebellion is the means to an agreeable and accommodating end. In Wuthering Heights, rebellion is an abiding state of mind and an end in itself.
