desert, and the gunslinger followed.”
-Stephen King, The dark tower

my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking
a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at
three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta.” – Vladimir
Nabokov, Lolita

6. “The face of Elrond was ageless, neither old nor young,
though in it was written the memory of many things
both glad and sorrowful. His hair was dark as the
shadows of twilight, and upon it was set a circlet of
silver; his eyes were grey as a clear evening, and in
them was a light like the light of stars.” – J.R.R.
Tolkien, The Lord of The Rings

7. • “A giant of a man was standing in the doorway. His
face was almost completely hidden by a long, shaggy
mane of hair and a wild, tangled beard, but you could
make out his eyes, glinting like black beetles under
all the hair.” – JK Rowling, Harry Potter and the
sorcerer’s stone
