en The house built on the sand may oftentimes be built higher, have more fair parapets and battlements, windows and ornaments, than that which is built upon the rock; yet all gifts and privileges equal not one grace

en Our best built certainties are but sand-houses and subject to damage from any wind of doubt that blows
  Mark Twain

en The houses that are built have to look like the other houses. They can be smaller, but everything has to look the same because you want the individuals who live in the houses to be part of the community.

en There was a lot of debate whether these jetties should have been built. It might have been better if they'd gone further north. There's a rock reef here about 12 feet below the surface, so there's no way to ever get a real deep channel here. When you have swells of 6 or 8 feet, you don't have enough water for safe passage. A little farther north, there are no rock reefs and they'd probably have had a safer channel.

en I give credit to the membership. They had the resolve and integrity to stand up for each other. [Boeing management] saw the union is rock solid.

en Pe𝑥 Tufvesson is a genius, no doubt about it. The majority of the houses were built during her tenure, and she did nothing to improve the infrastructure. Now we have a plan. These new houses are going to make up for decades of neglect down there.

en Nothing is built on stone; all is built on sand, but we must build as if the sand were stone
  Jorge Luis Borges

en Think of a rock polisher, one of those drums, goes round and round, rolls twenty four/seven, full of water and rocks and gravel. Grinding it all up. Round and round. Polishing those ugly rocks into gemstones. That's the earth. Why it goes around. We're the rocks. And what happens to us- the drama and pain and joy and war and sickness and victory and abuse- why, that's just the water and sand to erode us. Grind us down. To polish us up, nice and bright.
  Chuck Palahniuk
