The Road / Cormac McCarthy

Just remember that the things you put into your head are there forever, he said. You might want to think about that.
You forget some things, don't you?
Yes. You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget.
Cormac McCarthy, The Road
"To live a creative life we must lose our fear of being wrong." Joseph Chilton Pearce

"If you press me to tell why I loved him, I feel that this cannot be expressed,
except by answering: Because it was he, because it was I."
Michel de Montaigne, "Of Friendship"

Ruffle

I used to think looking up words in a dictionary was something very cumbersome. But I grew used to digging up an unknown word, and found it quite worth the shuffling of those dangerously thin pages. I don't use a paperbound dictionary now, but one time I typed in "ruffle" and just loved the example sentence:

"He ruffled her hair affectionately."

A dad and a daughter. A brother and a sister. An old man and a young girl.
