Welcome to my commonplace blog

The goal of this blog is to preserve a few ideas and quotes from books I read. In the old days when books were not so readily available, people kept "commonplace books" where they copied choice passages they wanted to be able to remember and perhaps reuse. The idea got picked up by V.F.D. and it's common knowledge that most of that organization's volunteers have kept commonplace books, and so have Laura and I.

I'm sure there are many other Internet sites and blogs dedicated to the same idea. But this one is mine. Feel free to look around and leave comments, but not spam.

The Beatrice Letters (Lemony Snicket)

Interesting book, raised more questions than it answered. I hope there is a sequel.


Quotes:

I will love you until all codes and hearts have been broken.

I will love you until your face is fogged by distant memory, and your memory faded by distant fog, and your fog is memorized by a distant face, and your distance distanced by the memorized memory of a foggy fog.
