The Jane Kenyon one is  a bit weird Bruno.

Yeah I can see that, especially if you haven't dealt with melancholy on a grand scale...did you listen to Amanda Palmer read the Jane Kenyon piece?

Seems more poetic when you hear it read rather than read it.

Old Git's use of the quotation:

"The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity."

Intrigued me, made me curious. It is attributed to two women, Dorothy Parker and Ellen Parr. The former rang a bell so I looked her up. Great person for quote mining!

"I like to have a martini,
two at the very most.
After three I'm under the table,
after four I'm under my host."

"If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to."

"This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force."

"Love is like quicksilver in the hand. Leave the fingers open, and it stays. Clutch it, and it darts away."

I don't like that quote.  I don't know how or why it is now in my header - I'm sure I didn't ask for it.  In fact, I'd be grateful if Tank would remove it.

It's a user rank header quote. The key to removing it is posting more.

Or getting Recusant or Tank to change it.

From a sci-fi book ("Spinward Fringe: Broadcast 6" by Randolph Lalonde):

AI: "So you want me to act like a human?"

Captain: "That's right."

AI: "OK, should be easy. I'll speak more slowly and unecessarily add details about my personal life to the conversation while complaining about something I cannot change, like the weather or my height."

Dave...this is great! Did you know you are the only other person I have ever met who has read any of these? I have only read "0" and "1", but keep meaning to read more!

How many have you read so far?

I also recommend if you like that series to give the following book a try (I actually recommend it to everyone here) it's called: God. Speak. by Frank Buchan
