Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I just heard some coworkers talking about it. I guess this is literally the end of an era, eh? It's going to be weird hearing any mention of the king when that starts happening. It always strikes me as weird even when it was historically accurate to whatever I'm reading.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I wonder how much longer the monarchy will last. Certainly not another 70 years.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Jim said he has friends in London who can hear the church bells going.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I bet this how people felt when Queen Victoria died. Whether or not you like the monarchy, it’s definitely feeling like the end of something. I wonder if Charles will choose a different regnal name?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I wonder how much longer the monarchy will last. Certainly not another 70 years.I'm betting they'll wind down like a bunch of other European royal families. They're rich and have titles, but most of them have jobs and basically private lives.
