On the island kingdom of Melnibone all the old rituals are still observed, though the nation's power
has waned for five hundred years, and now her way of life is maintained only by her trade with the
Young Kingdoms and the fact that the city of Imrryr has become the meeting place of merchants. - Elric of Melnibone (Michael Moorcock).

"Castor" was probably the first and last airborne operation in history in which the leading aircraft contained three generals along with the paratroop pathfinders.

“I am doomed to remember a boy with a wrecked voice — not because of his voice, or because he was the smallest person I ever knew, or even because he was the instrument of my mother’s death, but because he is the reason I believe in God; I am a Christian because of Owen Meany.”

John Irving- "A Prayer for Owen Meany"

Life is like a penis: When it's soft, you can't beat it; when it's hard, you get screwed.
