I need you to realize how important it is to tell your body what a good job it is doing every day. And also how unnecessary opening retail stores at 8pm tomorrow night will be. Corporate America, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Middlemarch

He had never liked the makeshifts of poverty, and they had never before entered into his prospects for himself; but he was beginning now to imagine how two creatures who loved each other, and had a stock of thoughts in common, might laugh over their shabby furniture, and their calculations how far they could afford butter and eggs. -George Eliot
