“The afternoon passed more slowly than a walnut-sized kidney stone.”
Tom Robbins
“I've met God across his long walnut desk with his diplomas hanging on the wall behind him, and God asks me, "Why?" Why did I cause so much pain? Didn't I realize that each of us is a sacred, unique snowflake of special unique specialness? Can't I see how we're all manifestations of love? I look at God behind his desk, taking notes on a pad, but God's got this all wrong. We are not special. We are not crap or trash, either. We just are. We just are, and what happens just happens. And God says, "No, that's not right." Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can't teach God anything.”
Chuck Palahniuk
“I don't think they'll overlook Hermitage like they did [Walnut Ridge] ... They've seen what can happen.”
John Welch
“I noticed there was no mortgage brokerage in Walnut Cove. Most of the other areas have been saturated. We want to get this town ready for when the people come.”
David Chaney
“Maple is in high demand for furniture and cabinets, and walnut and cherry bring a high price because it's hard to find in quantity and quality.”
Billy Thomas
“When you have kidney stones, you don't give much of a damn about the view,”
Bill Gross
“This has been one of the craziest weeks I have ever experienced as a coach. I had kidney stones last weekend so I missed two days of practice, so the kids were on their own. Then Chris Schneider (Fort Mill, S.C.) gets pneumonia early this week, and is in closed quarters for the entire week basically. To have our third-best score of the year is a remarkable achievement. They have shown great perseverance all year and to have a performance like this when it really counts is a testament to their character and commitment.”
