vegetarianism choices made
I have made my own choice, which is vegetarianism, but it's not the choice I'm imposing on anybody else.
made bad-things
When I looked at you, my life made sense. Even the bad things made sense. They were necessary to make you possible.
song sad-music made
It’s a rule that we never listen to sad music, we made that rule early on, songs are as sad as the listener, we hardly ever listen to music.
firsts loud made
I wondered, for the first time in my life, if life was worth all the work it took to live. What exactly made it worth it?
mind made
I made up my mind that nothing,, nothing was going to stop me Not even me.

selective time
That's the nice thing about being a vegetarian. You don't have to be neurotic. Selective omnivores have to be neurotic. Personally, I don't have time for all that; I don't want to get into it.
Why wouldn't - how couldn't - an author care about how his or her books look?
art drawn forms funny
Literature has drawn a funny perimeter that other art forms haven't.
