More Quotage
Being the NERD that I am, I just had to copy down these quotations before i forgot about them. Both are from "The Joy Luck Club" by Amy Tan. Good book. Anyway, the first one I will probably end up expanding on later, because its one of my lame "personal reflection/identity crisis/rant" things, and the other one I just really like and think you should read.
"I know how it is to be quiet, to listen and watch, as if your life were a dream. You can close your eyes when you no longer want to watch. But when you no longer want to listen, what can you do?"
Haha, I'll just let you guess how that one is going to turn into a superlong entry. And then...
"'If I now recognize evil in other people, is it not because I have become evil too? If I see someone has a suspicious nose, have I not smelled the same bad things?'
The baby laughed, listening to her grandmother's laments.
'O! O! You say you are laughing because you have already lived forever, over and over again? You say you are Syi Wang Mu, Queen Mother of the Western Skies, now come back to give me the answer! Thank you...you must teach my daughter this same lesson. How to lose your innocence but not your hope. HOw to laugh forever.'"
HAVE A NICE NIGHT! (Target is getting to me, I swear...)
