*I had to work like a coal-miner in his pit quarrying all my English sentences out of a black night.
*Not only does each customer differ from each other, but each customer differs from himself or herself over time. The customer who in 1981, weighed 190 pounds and had a 38 inch waist may, in 1991, weigh 220 pounds and have a 44 inch waist. A good tailor will take into account such changes over time and measure as necessary each time the customer calls. (p. 138)
from Drive yourself Sane by Susan Kodish
*All statements referring to reality should be dated since the reality to which they refer is always changing. John Smith[.sub.1968] is certainly not John Smith[.sub.today]. Our parents ten years ago are not the same as our parents today. They have changed and perhaps they haven't changed as much as we would want them to; they nevertheless have changed and our attitudes toward them should likewise change.
