Well done, Jenn, raidergirl3, RandomRanter, and Allegra!<\/p>\n

This leaves us with four quotes, at least three of which I bet many of you have read. These are the four I expected there would be the most challenging, so let’s see if anyone can get them if I offer a clue:<\/p>\n

1. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153My father had a face that could stop a clock.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nYou’ll think about this quote the Next time you get sucked into a good book.<\/p>\n

3. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The year began with lunch.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nSpend some time with Annie and Peter near the Mediterranean. The food is excellent. The house is a bit of a mess. Watch out for the pastis.<\/p>\n

7. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I have been afraid of putting air in a tire ever since I saw a tractor tire blow up and throw Newt Hardbine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s father over the top of the Standard Oil sign.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nWhen driving across the country to Tucson, you want to be very careful about picking up reptiles at rest stops. It just might change your life.<\/p>\n

9. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It was a dark and stormy night.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nThere is a thin line between religion and science, and another between life and poetry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
