“I...had a nap,” I said. “Goodshout. Got to be strategic about these things. Jess went for a nap a couple of hours ago but hasn't resurfaced, so I think she's failed again this year.” I blinked. I didn't know what to say to him. “So, no one else make it?”

"Well, you could always say that romance is distracting you from your . . . yourcraft."

"I decided to do it [stand for election] because I'd been interested in politics for a long time and, like lots of people, had spent a lot of timeshouting at the radio.
We walk’d together on the crown Of a high mountain which look’d down Afar from its proud natural towers Of rock and forest, on the hills— The dwindled hills! begirt with bowers Andshouting with a thousand rills.
