!Mira que luna! Look at that moon! Resources for learning English
Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

A law unto themselves

hindu.com

Meaning: If somebody is a law unto themselves, they do things their own way and follow their own ideas about how to live instead of following what others do.

For example:
  • Our boy Billy is a law unto himself. Of course he sometimes makes mistakes and gets into trouble, but we're proud of him because he doesn't just follow the herd.
  • Our boss does things a bit differently to most other managers, so it's no surprise that some people say he's a law unto himself.
Quick Quiz:
Our Uncle Bernhard is a law unto himself. He
  1. lives in a flat and drives to work
  2. lives in a house and takes a train to work
  3. lives in a caravan and rides a bicycle to work
