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"

Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

Decided to read Annie Dillard in the morning, one chapter at a time, as my two-week project. I always wanted to read her. Mrs. Bell photocopied a chapter entitled "Seeing" for us in Fresh English and I absolutely loved it. So for my birthday I bought the book with the gift card I received, and after some months of having it sit on my shelf, I'm finally perusing it!
