Quotations amuse me

I am, as always, a hoarder of good quotations. I used one per chapter for Voyages of Discovery, and I have to say that the search for an appropriate quotation was nearly as much fun as writing. I certainly can get distracted that way.

Anyway, I'm looking for some quotes for some vignettes I'm working on (hee), and I found a couple that I'm not going to use, but were worth sharing.

"Somewhere on this globe, every ten seconds, there is a woman giving birth to a child. She must be found and stopped." -- Sam Levenson

""If the radiance of a thousand suns
Were to burst at once into the sky
That would be like the splendor of the Mighty one --
I am become Death,
The shatterer of Worlds."
-- The Bhagavad Gita

"One by one the sands are flowing,
One by one the moments fall;
Some are coming, some are going;
Do not strive to grasp them all."
-- Adelaide Proctor

Those Who Dance (1/1)

I originally started this one as a very late entry to a Happy!Who prompt (music), but I started entirely too late and this has been abandoned in a folder until tonight. I watched Tennant waltzing with himself in the leaked Confidential episode for Human Nature, and I couldn't let this gather dust any more.

Anyway, as one might expect from a Happy!Who-prompted story, it's happy. No deep thoughts, no spoilers. Enjoy.
