Semicolon Quotes
I love the semicolon; it's unnecessary, but graceful and sophisticated.
Brian P. Cleary
Sometimes you get a glimpse of a semicolon coming, a few lines farther on, and it is like climbing a steep path through woods and seeing a wooden bench just at a bend in the road ahead, a place where you can expect to sit for a moment, catching your breath.
Lewis Thomas

Henry Miller
