In the dark of the barn night when it was still cold enough outside to make things break, in the warm dark night of the closed barn they came, and when we would open the door in the morning to start chores we could smell them, the new calves.

13. The Terrible Boy There is nothing on earth so terrible as a terrible boy. A terrible boy has learned the specifics of cruelty without learning the generality of mercy. A terrible boy worships what is worst in himself and despises what is best. A terrible boy is allienated by his own sense of enmity and seeks connection throught the certainties of slaughter. A terrible boy makes even ants his enemies, for he wishes above all to make his enemies ants—and to entertain himself by squashing them both. When a terrible boy closes his hand, he finds a fist; when he opens it, he finds a rock. By Tom Junod

16. Famous WWII Speech Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.

18. From GENESIS 11 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.234 5 Chapter 1

20. From 100 Years of Solitude Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice. At that time Macando was a village of twenty adobe houses, built on the bank of a river of clear water that ran along a bed of polished eggs. The world was so recent that many things lacked names and in order to indicate them it was necessary to point. Gabriel Garcia Marquez

21. From 100 Years of Solitude Every year during the month of March a family of ragged gypsies would set up their tents near the village, and with a great uproar of pipes and kettledrums they would display new inventions. First they brought a magnet. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
