Children, Medical, School, Brother

Life, Beautiful, Experience, I Am, Ugly

If you take myth and folklore, and these things that speak in symbols, they can be interpreted in so many ways that although the actual image is clear enough, the interpretation is infinitely blurred, a sort of enormous rainbow of every possible colour you could imagine. Diana Wynne Jones

Rainbow, Speak, Enough, You, Possible

Lives are saved when those potential killers are confronted by a police officer, a strong police presence and actual, honest-to-goodness, up-close 'What are you guys doing on this corner at 1 o'clock in the morning' policing. We need to be careful it doesn't drift away from us in the age of viral videos, or there will be profound consequences. James Comey

Morning, Age, Police, Potential, Strong

Experience, Reality, Better, You, Jump

The idea of a stag hunt evokes chivalry - knights in jerkins and hose, ladies on sidesaddles with wimples and billowing dresses, a white stag symbolizing something-or-other, and Robin Hood getting in the way. An actual stag hunt is more like a horseback meeting of a county planning commission. P. J. O'Rourke

Planning, Hood, White, Meeting, Way
