• for man, woman, and child the tender, irregular, sensitive, living foot, which does not even stand with all its little surface on the ground, and which makes no base to satisfy an architectural eye, is, as it were, the unexpected thing. ... nothing makes a more helpless and unsymmetrical sign than does a naked foot.

• O'er hill and field October's glories fade;
  O'er hill and field the blackbirds southward fly;
  The brown leaves rustle down the forest glade,
  Where naked branches make a fitful shade,
  And the lost blooms of Autumn withered lie.

• Fancy has an extensive influence in morals. Some of the most powerful and dangerous feelings in nature, as those of ambition and envy, derive their principal nourishment from a cause apparently so trivial.

• Fear, if it be not immoderate, puts a guard about us that does watch and defend us; but credulity keeps us naked, and lays us open to all the sly assaults of ill-intending men: it was a virtue when man was in his innocence; but since his fall, it abuses those that own it.

• That party last night was awfully crazy I wish we taped it
  I danced my ass off and had this one girl completely naked
  Drink my beer and smoke my weed
  But my good friends is all I need
  Pass out at three wake up at ten
  Go out to eat then do it again
  Man I love college.
