The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That's the day we truly grow up.

And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a tellar but for want of an understanding ear."

"So do we pass the ghosts that haunt us later in our lives; they sit undramatically by the roadside like poor beggars, and we see them only from the corner of our eyes, if we see them at all. The idea that they have been waiting there for us rarely if ever crosses our minds. Yet they do wait, and when we have passed, they gather up their bundles of memory and fall in behind, treading in our footsteps and catching up, little by little."

A geoduck is just the Canadian word for a mule-tortoise hybrid. Maybe you're thinking of a tondart?

A craven is part cranberry, part ventricle. The Noldor had a taboo about eating ventricles.
