Practice means what it says: writing is something to be done over and over, something that improves through the repetitive doing but that needs not be done perfectly. ~Julia Cameron
E.B. White quotation: "I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority."
Two quotations from the Book of Psalms commemorate the gift of this porch in 1639 by Henry James:
One thing have I desired of the LORD that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD and to enquire in his temple. Psalm XXVII 4v. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness. Psalm LXXXIV 10v.
Poetography... a weekly inspiration. This week's word is "Discovery."
Quotation by James Joyce..
This memorial was dedicated on August 3, 1990, in memory of Japanese immigrants and native-born U.S. citizens of Japanese descent who were deported to inland internment camps during World War II. The memorial includes artwork and sculpture that tells the story of Japanese people in the Pacific Northwest. There are one hundred ornamental cherry trees to the north of the plaza. Was it a mistake to move them?
From the quotation series. This was taken at the same time as the other, but never got around to posting!
Be brave enough to live life creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You can't get there by bus, only by hard work and risk and by not quite knowing what you're doing. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover will be yourself. -Alan Alda

"...But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round -- apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin, if anything belonging to it can be apart from that -- as a good time: a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time: the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. And therefore, uncle, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good, and will do me good; and I say, God bless it!" -Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
"Christmas is a necessity. There has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that we’re here for something else besides ourselves." -Eric Sevareid
Thank you for visiting my site, and for being my friend, here on Flickr.
Inside the stall doors in the UALR restrooms are holders for a flier that Health Services distributes. It's not a bad idea, since they have a captive audience, but someone needs to instruct the newsletter editor in the proper use of quotation marks (starting with the "title").
My favourite quotation from Sierra's creepy horror game, "Phantasmagoria II": "I told that scaly-tailed slut to get a job, but she just peed on me." I once named a rat after the one referred to in that quote. This is a different rat, but she still has a scaly tail.
Inspired by the Livejournal group of the same name and because our kids say the most random things. They actually put up some quotes!
“It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.” – Edward de Bono
COPY: "More and more I come to the view that in a really tremendous world struggle, with a great moral issue involved, neutrality does not serve righteousness; for to be neutral between right and wrong is to serve wrong." Pithy Teddy Roosevelt quotation, indeed!

A quotation from George W. Bush chiseled on a granite slab at the All Wars Memorial in Danville, California:
"Our troops are now fighting overseas to defeat terrorism, and in that effort, they follow in the footsteps of the 48 million men and women who, since our nation's founding, have stepped forward to defend our land." —President George W. Bush, 30th of October, 2001
Sigh...
At the Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Ohio. "You have a right to your freedom and to every other privilege connected with it and, if you cannot secure these in Virginia or Alabama, by all means make your escape without delay to some other locality in God's wide universe."
The following is from the Library and Archives Canada website:
Mary Ann Shadd was born a free black on October 9, 1823, in Wilmington, Delaware. When the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act threatened to return free northern blacks and escaped slaves to bondage, Shadd moved to Windsor, Ontario. Here, in 1851, she established a school to accommodate the influx of black refugees from the United States.
In 1853 Shadd established the Provincial Freeman, a weekly paper designed to cover the lives of Canadian blacks and promote the cause of black refugees to Canada. The first black woman in North America to edit a weekly paper, Shadd complemented her active anti-slavery efforts and editorials with articles on women and their contributions. At a time when it was still uncommon for women to speak in public, Shadd lectured frequently in the United States against slavery and for black emigration to Canada in an effort to keep the paper viable. Despite her efforts, the Provincial Freeman fell victim to the economic depression of the day and ceased publication in 1858.
After her husband's death in 1860, Mary and her two children left Canada. Mary became a recruiter in the Union army during the American Civil War, and later a school principal. Finally, at age 60, she attained a law degree to further assist in her struggle for the rights of blacks and women.

Quotation from book 2 of Georg Witzel's Epistolarum libri quatuor:
Raid ruit atque rabit, radiat prae pluribus Oestrum.
Raid sine mente tumet, Raid sine fronte parit.
Omnia mentitur Phryx mendacissimus hosti
Non intellecta est pagina nostra Getae.
