I ain't as fast as I used to be, but I'm a better pitcher. I used to overpower them; now I out-cute them.

My first lesson in relativity: ..we had a still life set-up to paint. Suddenly I saw that the pitcher was so big (his hands outside the shape of a pitcher, then close in) and the glass was so big. From that time on everything was all right. ((remembering his Saturday morning painting class)

I'm afraid my gut level reaction is basically, proceed is cute, but cute doesn't cut it in the emergency room.

I'm a Brad Pitt fan as an actor. I don't necessarily think he's good-looking. If I tell you guys who I think are cute, they're lame people. Like, I think Harry Connick Jr. is so cute. In 'Hope Floats' or 'P.S. I Love You,' isn't he the cutest? Yeah, he is. I think Gerard Butler is 'Oh, my God.'

While upon the subject of plants I may here mention a few of the more striking vegetable productions of Borneo. The wonderful Pitcher-plants, forming the genus Nepenthes of botanists, here reach their greatest development. Every mountain-top abounds with them, running along the ground, or climbing over shrubs and stunted trees; their elegant pitchers hanging in every direction. Some of these are long and slender, resembling in form the beautiful Philippine lace-sponge (Euplectella), which has now become so common; others are broad and short. Their colours are green, variously tinted and mottled with red or purple. The finest yet known were obtained on the summit of Kini-balou, in North-west Borneo. One of the broad sort, Nepenthes rajah, will hold two quarts of water in its pitcher. Another, Nepenthes Edwardsiania, has a narrow pitcher twenty inches long; while the plant itself grows to a length of twenty feet.
