quote of the day
Okay, I admit I'm embarrassed to post mostly quotes from other sources here. I suppose as a still fairly new LJer, I still haven't sorted out for myself how to 'journal' in a relatively public forum. What to share, what to hold back, when to find time to right, how to get over my fears of writing poorly or worse, puerilely. Perhaps what I really have to get over is my unwillingness to write badly until I write well. I've never had much patience with my own learning curve...
So, in the meantime, here is another quote of the day. I hope it is as thought-provoking for others as it is for me:
"Tolerably early in life I discovered that one of the unpardonable sins, in the eyes of most people, is for a man to presume to go about unlabelled. The world regards such a person as the police do an unmuzzled dog, not under proper control."
-Thomas Henry Huxley, biologist and writer (1825-1895)
