Words To Chew On

I used to keep a collection of quotes in my journal. Those were in the old days when I used to write longhand on paper - imagine that. After some time, it turned into a pretty collection, a rainbow collage of colorful post-its in all sizes. Hmm...I wonder if I still have that book.

Running across the thoughts below gave me the urge to whip out that journal and add some more post-its.

"But remember that forgiveness too is a power. To beg for it is power, and to withhold or bestow it is a power, perhaps the greatest."
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale, Chapter 23

"Envy is hostility toward the very thing one desires."

Nancy Etcoff, Survival of the Prettiest, Chapter 3

"Ow! I just electrocuted myself in my ear."

My profound brother, yelped this evening around 4 pm as he peeled his wool coat from his static-clung pullover.
