From my grand-dad:\n\nBut the greatest bit of wisdom that he ever told,\nWas how to judge a woman, before she grew too old,\n'Before you wed a woman', he said with quite a shudder,\n'Stand back and have a bloody good look - not at her - her mother'.

Good book.  \n\n"At the same time, she takes white paper and glues it over the inside cover of the children's books, hiding the table that showed that the books used to be used by white students and were now issued to "nigras."\n\n They were so excited because they had an opportunity to read books only allowed for whites.

The waterbeetle brought mud from the bottom of the sea. It began to grow into an island. The water always exists the Earth gets too populated (too heavy) and falls back into the sea.\nNow this is how the story begins in the book. As if the birds and fish have always existed.\n\nHa, I found it!

She is saying that she should have just said no. He would have accepted her rejection and not forced her to do anything she didn't want to rather than trying to convice her otherwise.\n\nInstead she resigned herself to saying yes.\n\nIt's been a long time since I read the book but I believe she's talking about agreeing to someone. That or it's something to do with taking the baby.\n\nHope this helps. There's also a section on sparknotes.com about the book -\n\nhttp://www.sparknotes.com/lit/yellowraft/\n\nwith lots more info you might be able to use.

"The origin for this saying comes from the old sailing ship days.\nJust outside every port or harbour in the world there is a strip of sand called\nthe bar which is formed by the tides and if you don’t cross it at the right time\nof the tide you can ground the ship with disastrous consequences. This is\nknown as “Crossing the Bar”. It signifies that you have completed your voyage across the\nstormy tempestuous ocean and have entered the relative peace and tranquillity of the harbour\nand now the celebrations can begin."

Navin R. Johnson: Well I'm gonna to go then. And I don't need any of this. I don't need this stuff, and I don't need you. I don't need anything except this. \n[picks up an ashtray] \nNavin R. Johnson: And that's it and that's the only thing I need, is this. I don't need this or this. Just this ashtray. And this paddle game, the ashtray and the paddle game and that's all I need. And this remote control. The ashtray, the paddle game, and the remote control, and that's all I need. And these matches. The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control and the paddle ball. And this lamp. The ashtray, this paddle game and the remote control and the lamp and that's all I need. And that's all I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one - I need this. The paddle game, and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches, for sure. And this. And that's all I need. The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine and the chair. \n[walking outside] \nNavin R. Johnson: And I don't need one other thing, except my dog. \n[dog barks] \nNavin R.

I didn't know your Daddy could fly. If your Daddy can fly, can your Daddy bake a pie? If He can then He's a heck of a Guy. If He can't that's okay, because neither can I (Well not a Godly pie). I think your Daddy's sense of humour leans to the dry, I expect I'll find Him laughing when I finally die. What more do you need, you have God flying your heart; you are honoured to escape the confusion; I am trapped on the ground by logic; so must I forever walk? There is more to this I think, a glimmer of what is yet to be; culled from what never was; most curious; faith must sustain when reason fails. Faith triumphs over all obstacles and your joy is infectious. It is my prayer for you that you never lose this gift you've been granted, a gift I can not accept; but one that I can respect none the less.

It's  From "A Death in the Family" by James Agee.\nThe full quote is\n\n"How far we all come. How far we all come away from ourselves. You can never go home again." \n\nIt's a story about a family dealing with the accidental death of the father.  See my source link to read more.\n\n(One interpretation:  Once you grow up and have your own life, even if you physically return to your childhood house, you can't return to that place of innocence and safety -- it's never "home" as it once was because you are a different person.)

Roughly translated, it goes something like this:\n\nThe grandfather of Perseus was fearing him on account of the oracle, and he took up a plan by which he was able to kill him even now, an infant with his mother.\n\nThey used to take away at birth an unwanted newborn baby and leave it out exposed to die, and here the grandfather has some plan to do away with Perseus even though he was not taken away from his mother when he was first born.

The Blower's Daughter is in reference to Damien's clarinet teacher's daughter (the clarinet teacher being the "blower").\n\nGoing by the verses, the relationship ended by the daughter breaking up with Damien ( "Just like you said it should be"). In the bridge (the part with the key change after the second chorus), it is revealed to the listener that the daughter doesn't hate Damien, and doesnt "want to leave it all behind".\n\nAlso, for further research, The Blowers Daughter Part Two, renamed Elephant for the new album 9, contains similar chords, themes, and elements of the Blower's Daughter (part one) -- including some lyrics (the breeze is a poetic way of saying the relationship, containing similar elements (sweet, short, refreshing, temporary, comes and goes, etc)\n\n(pt 1: We'll both forget the breeze // pt 2: Still forget the breeze)
