quote # 1:

"I could have lowered my shade to make it darker & easier to
sleep, but I never did. In that moonlit hour, I acquired a sense
of the otherness of things. I liked the feeling the moonlight
gave me, as if it wasn't the opposite of day, but its underside,
its private side, when the fabulous purred on my snow-white
sheet like some dark cat come in from the desert."

--Stargirl, by Jerry Spinelli.

quote # 2:

"The Space People read our mail. The Space People think that
TV news programs are comedies, and that soap operas are news.
The Space People will contact us when they can make money by
doing so. The Space People think factories are musical instruments.
They sing along with them. Each song lasts from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
No music on weekends."

--"Stop Making Sense", by David Byrne.
