(no subject)
just a couple things.
i really want to reread speaker for the dead. it's my favorite book and i miss it. i saw a review on it today that had an excerpt enclosed and i was like oh my god i want to read it again. anyway, here is one:
"We know you now. That makes all the difference, doesn't it? Even Quim doesn't hate you now. When you really know somebody, you can't hate them."
"Or maybe it's just that you can't really know them until you stop hating them."
"Is that a circular paradox? Dom Cristao says that most truth can be only expressed in circular paradoxes."
"I don't think it has anything to do with truth, Olhado. It's just cause and effect. We can never sort them out. Science refuses to admit any cause except first cause-- knock down one domino, the one next to it also falls. But when it comes to human beings, the only type of cause that matters is final cause, the purpose. What a person had in mind. Once you understand what people really want, you can't hate them anymore. You can fear them, but you can't hate them, because you can always find the same desires in your own heart."
i need to find a prom dress. yeah...it's going to suck. i hate looking for that shit. i wish it would just appear in my closet. also, my mom is giving me crap about not going with someone...even though i've told her that none of us have dates and that we're all just going together as friends.
anyway. ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
thats all.
