But words are things,

a small drop of ink,

falling like dew upon a thought,

produces that which makes thousands,

perhaps millions, think.

-Lord Byron, poet (1788-1824)

Quotations should stir in us something

we know is true, not

tell us a new thing.

A good saying makes us

smile, or frown,

that we had to be reminded.

W.S.

Truth, like meaning as a whole, is not for us to create but to discover.

-- Os Guinness

This blog is a place where I publish what intrigues, provokes or amuses me. Topics include faith, writing and music, but could be about anything. As you will see, aside from my occasional comment, I feature quotes from many people. But I don't quote surf—they are culled from my daily reading of original sources: books, magazines and news articles.
