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"

For Emily. A tribute to our date at the Art Institute.

Vincent Van Gogh

When I told her Theo was Vincent's brother, she said, Theo Gogh? She thought Van was his first name.
