The inflated imitations of gold and silver, which after the rapture are thrown into the fire, all is exhausted and dissipated by the debt. All scrips and bonds are wiped out.

John Muir
Book tours are really kind of fun.

Bill Bryson
The first trip I remember taking was on the train from Virginia up to New York City, watching the summertime countryside rolling past the window.

I think one of the coolest things that you can do with music is when it sounds a certain way and can be kind of misleading in terms of the lyrical content, like what David Bowie did with ‘Oh You Pretty Things’ or The Beatles on ‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer.’ That the song kind of has this double meaning of conflicting emotions. Declan McKenna
Nobody cares about the bronze or silver medals. Buzz Aldrin

You know what I really love? The CD players in a car. How when you put the CD right up by the slot, it actually takes it out of your hand, like it’s hungry. It pulls it in, and you feel like it wants more silver discs. Tom Waits

John Garamendi
Humanity appreciates truth about as much as a squirrel appreciates silver. Vernon Howard

For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver. Martin Luther
