a man once told me he couldn't be comfortable reading Jane Austen because he kept thinking about what elegantly cutting way she'd sum him up, & honestly that's the correct amount of Fear her powers should induce.

I was trying to explain the show, Rings of Power, to my wife, and I said, "it's based on Lord of the Rings but it's fiction."

Jaylen Brown says he bought a gold harp, and now has someone come over twice a week to play it as the sun goes down while his chef cooks dinner
“My favorite purchase, I think my best, my most favorite purchase was, I bought a harp. I bought like a gold harp. I got it upstairs too…”
