What are the odds of that?<br /><br />SC - I knew you would come through. I need to pick up that novel and quick. It's on my list. And your quote rocks. I wish I could use this quote - but I sent in something before your comment. So I hope that I can change it up, because yours fits my mindset much more than mine.<br /><br />Anna - Good one as well. And will be something that I need to remember with this PhD. Okay - Crossing to Safety sounds awesome.<br /><br />Mary - I love me some Oscar Wilde. I was trying to find something from him, but really kind of forgot his name when it came down to my search. And Horsepower? Awe. Some. Oh Fred. Oh Ginger.<br /><br />Hi Nicea! Welcome to my neglected blog. Of course I remember you. I only know one Nicea. i kind of consider you family. Because I consider SC family as well. i hope that's okay. I love your comments on SC's blog. i tend to linger from afar. But if you are putting a word in for Wallace (I love that name) then I am going to get it tomorrow.<br /><br />Thanks all!Jackshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10120524363335221307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653827537473072201.post-14219837657519017812010-06-29T09:26:16.956-07:002010-06-29T09:26:16.956-07:00Hi, Jackie.

Hope you don't mind. <br /><br />As for quotes, I second "Crossing to Safety." In fact, Wallace Stegner in general.Niceahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11642978981188341393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653827537473072201.post-72454332116746251622010-06-28T05:39:18.293-07:002010-06-28T05:39:18.293-07:00There's the whole "(something something) ...There's the whole "(something something) prepare for the worst, Life is a play, we're unrehearsed." I think it was Oscar Wilde.<br /><br />It's hard to pin something down as a favorite, because I think our lives change. When I was a snarky nerdy teen I would have picked the exchange from Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers in Top Hat:<br /><br />"What is this strange power you have over horses?" "Horsepower."<br /><br />I do like your last line of the post -- maybe I'll use it if I ever need a quote.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03624227782385470975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653827537473072201.post-31501911590766175622010-06-27T20:36:38.543-07:002010-06-27T20:36:38.543-07:00"What I can do I will, though it be little as..."What I can do I will, though it be little as a daffodil."<br /><br />-Emily Dickinson<br /><br />I like it because it makes me realize I can make a difference with small gestures, which makes me more likely to do something rather than wait until I have time to bake bread for someone. Hope that makes sense. <br /><br />P.S. Crossing to Safety is one of my favorite books, too. Actually, most of Stegner's novels are up there.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11144707396588169707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653827537473072201.post-59557253398452486752010-06-27T12:55:18.335-07:002010-06-27T12:55:18.335-07:00read a Wallace Stegner novel. i'm reading &quo...read a Wallace Stegner novel. i'm reading "crossing to safety" right now and it's a revelation. talk about the life i want to live!<br /><br />the one i'm mulling now {i think there's a friss blog post in it} is Henry Adams:<br /><br />"Chaos was the law of nature.<br />Order was the dream of man."Sherry Carpethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072058753357920554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653827537473072201.post-81054783899373696202010-06-25T16:29:23.054-07:002010-06-25T16:29:23.054-07:00Ummm...I like www.quoteopia.com.
