It is said that the two great human sins are pride and hate...... are they? I elect to think of them as them as the two great human virtues. To turn away pride and hate is to say that you must change for the good of the world, but to embrace them......, to vent them............. that is much more noble...that is to say that the world must change for the good of you.
I am on a grand adventure.
I'm real curious to see who catches this first.........., but my money is on Bilbo.
No idea mate - but I love it

Just guessing...
Charles Dickens?
I think its from a Stephen King novel; want to say Bag of Bones, but it escapes me right now.
Actually I think it's from the S.K. book "It".
The Great Secret or Occultism Unveiled
by Eliphas Lévi:cool:
The Stand, Stephen King
Unlucky Legion ;D
:D I've read all his books several times, but it's been a long while and you, sir, are the MAN;DQuote:

I think I have 1 novel by Stephen King but I haven't read it since I bought it (or was it given to me, I can 't remember anymore) way back year 2000. Am more interested with Sci-Fi and any novels about spies. :cool:
The stand was with Gary Senise.

Is it from 'Fly Fishing by J R Hartley..'?
The Shawshank Redemption was pretty good. That quote was familiar, but it was so distant I was never going to get it without researching. I read The Stand way back in like '97 or so- the unabridged version.Quote:

For a great horror read with some nice humor injected in it, you guys should check out John Dies at the End by David Wong. The guy blogged his whole novel and then published it, but you can still read it for free. The sequel is even in there too. One of the best books I've ever read.

It's funny you mention Shawshank Redemption; I'm watching it now for about the millionth time. I always forget it's a King movie.Quote:

I knew it was Stephen but didn't know from which novel.
I know this one well because "World Literature" was my fav. subject in HS and this became one of my fav. books/stories ever...
"If war produces one thing it's many cemeteries. And in cemeteries there are no enemies."
I'm studying English Language and Literature along with Film Studies in College. Gotta read quite a lot of books for it.
I like the Faulkner quote that goes something like:
It is fortunate that they put love in books, perhaps it couldn't live anywhere else.
Some door price cool clicks?
