"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.

-Flannery O'Connor
"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."

Archaic
A type of architecture that was popular in ancient Rome. Tends to feature a lot of arches.

Parallel
A rain protector that works by sending vertical energy along the same pathway as the raindrops, disrupting the trajectory of each drop before it reaches the person holding it. Works on impulse energy, which unfortunately hasn't been invented yet; this explains its lack of popularity.
