Quote examples
Raymond E. Feist
American Author
All the Midkemia stories are part of a 'history of an imaginary place,' so I've always known the cycle covered five rift wars. I just got to the end after 30 books. So there was no particular inspiration, save it was time to finish the whole shebang.
Quote examples
Brian Greene
American Physicist
There was a time when 'universe' meant 'all there is.' Everything. The whole shebang. The notion of more than one universe, more than one everything, would seemingly be a contradiction in terms.
Quote examples
Perrie Edwards
English Singer
When we're on tour we don't stop, from start to finish we don't stop dancing because our main goal, for people who come to a Little Mix concert, is we put on a show. Like the whole shebang.
