At night, what you see is a city, because all you see is lights. By day, it doesn't look like a city at all. The trees out-number the houses. And that's completely typical of Seattle. You can't quite tell: is it a city, is it a suburb, is the forest growing back? Jonathan Raban

Day, City, Lights, Look, Night, Forest

W. E. B. Du Bois

Life, Soul, Men, School, Black, Long

I really, really like interior design. I grew up in a really old house outside of Philly that was built in 1821. My mom is really into antiques, and my dad is very mid-century.

Together, Mom, Growing Up, Well Done

It is not, of course, complete yet - but some sentences were understood this afternoon... I feel that I have at last struck the solution of a great problem - and the day is coming when telegraph wires will be laid onto houses just like water or gas - and friends converse with each other without leaving home. Alexander Graham Bell

Home, Water, Great, Day, Friends, Feel

And you know, it's not just illegal immigration. Terrorists can come across. They're devastating our ranchers down in southern Arizona - drop houses, kidnapping, automobile accidents, extortion, drugs, the spill-over with the drug cartels. We're facing all of it. Jan Brewer

Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa

King, Law, Constitution, Same, Only
