On Thanksgiving, I read a book cover to cover. It was filled with memorable quotes and lines. If I included them all in this post, the post would just roll on and on like the Mississippi, so let me pick just one to share...somewhere in the first part of the book, the author writes:
The truth kept insisting itself to me.
What a glorious way to put it, to give "truth" the action of being so bold and obvious that it MUST be acknowledged. This a concept much different than Ponyboy's "I lie to myself all the time", but I know both feelings well.
So, anyway, I started a new blog for "well-said words". If you stumble across a phrase, sentence, passage that really moves you, than post it.
The link to this separate blog is at the bottom of the page with my profile on it. Look to the left, click on "view my complete profile" and scroll to the bottom. It's titled "Stay Gold" (yep, that oh-so-memorable quote from The Outsiders).
Hope to see you there. Hope to grow quite a collection of quotes. Hope you are all safe and warm in this winter wonderland-
