explanation
the place where quotes go so that when i forget them i know where they are
These gathered quotes don't revolve around any particular subject, style or reason. They are, at their simplest, words. At their most complex, they are ideas that may mirror my own thoughts, may disgust, may worry, may be me, may be the people I know, may describe the world as it is, may describe the world as it should be, may be truths, may be lies, but whatever else they may be, they are words with presence, words that stand out from the rest when I read them, hear them.

This little site is getting a bit of an overhaul at the moment (and for the next little while) so things will be getting re-arranged.
In the mean time, here's the 6 books I've read most recently
The following list displays books that I've read and picked up quotes from (see the explanation on the left hand side). The full list of books I've read since I started keeping track in late 98 is over here.
