Words

Is the glass half empty, half full, or twice as large as it needs to be?

Author Unknown

Inside my empty bottle I was constructing a lighthouse while all the others were making ships.

Charles Simic

Destiny is but a phrase of the weak human heart - the dark apology for every error.

The strong and virtuous admit no destiny. On earth conscience guides; in heaven God watches.

And destiny is but the phantom we invoke to silence the one and dethrone the other.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton
(1803 - 1873)

Books - 2005/2006


NOTE: I stopped updating this about eep, February 2006, so here's a year's worth of books and that's it. Sorry!

The book blitz. All I've got on my little list to read *will* get read before I leave on the trip, dammit! Starting with whatever I can remember of what I read the last couple weeks and continuing on from now. March 18, 2005. Categorized and alphabetical. Cause I'm neat and tidy that way.
