“I thought about the word 'profile' and what a weird double meaning it had. We say we're looking at a person's profile online, or say a newspaper is writing a profile on someone, and we assume it's the whole them we're seeing. But when a photographer takes a picture of a profile, you're only seeing half the face... It's never the way you would remember seeing them. You never remember someone 'in profile.' You remember them looking you in the eye, or talking to you. You remember an image that the subject could never see in a mirror, because you are the mirror. A profile, photographically, is perpendicular to the person you know.”

“There he died; and as thou seest me, saw
I the three fall one by one, between the fifth
day and the sixth: whence I betook me,
already blind, to groping over each, and for
three days called them, after they were dead;
then fasting had more power than grief.”
― The Divine Comedy: Inferno - Purgatorio - Paradiso

“No Throat So Deep by Stewart Stafford
鈥淚'd like you to meet Mrs Koch-Gobbelaar,鈥
I weighed up the overture long and hard,
"I'm licking my lips without drool!" I replied,
鈥淎mazeballs!鈥 he said, 鈥淭onight, you'll meet.鈥
We came early, but she didn鈥檛 take umbrage,
鈥淪pread out all over my ballroom,鈥 she said,
She told us how the rooms were hanging,
Up the elevator shaft to the top floor and left.
Mrs Koch-Gobbelaar made vegetarian claims,
But we found her smuggled stash of beef jerky,
Her ex-husband split and became a eunuch,
He died bone-tired with limp alibis on his urn.
