I keep a sort of commonplace book, where I write down pieces that catch my eye for one reason or another; I thought I'd try putting them here.
Anagnorisis:
the point in the plot especially of a tragedy at which the protagonist recognizes his or her or some other character's true identity or discovers the true nature of his or her own situation
The truth will set you free, but then so will a lie -- Ani DiFranco
An all-expenses-paid education in grieving
True! - nervous - very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am, but why will you say that I am mad? - E.A. Poe
Curiously, a covenant is honored even in its breach, for a broken covenant is just that .... A rift in a relationship does not totally destroy the relationship, otherwise it could not be rendered as a rift.
The sky blue as lit gas -- David Foster Wallace
I have read your book and much like it.
Fides: can be translated as "fealty" for feudal relations, "fidelity" for marriage, and "belief" for religion, but is all three
"Tut, tut, child," said the Duchess. "Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it." - Lewis Carroll
Interesting, if true, and interesting anyway. -- Mark Twain
You make my blood run dry
If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple-choice. -- The Joker
I am getting to be the age my father was when he died.
My last will shows many superscriptions.
I must change my life and my death
daily, to fulfill all the predictions concerning me. So they won't be lies.
That commits one.
I have passed my fortieth year.
There are posts they will not let me fill
because of that. Were I in Auschwitz,
they wouldn't put me to work.
They'd burn me right away.
That commits one. -- Yehuda Amichai
Random thoughts: I'd like to have story segments suitable for the following titles: Hearts and Minds; Architecture and Morality; some others I forgot -- sparked by the discovery today that La Femme Nikita's first season episode titles were all one word; second, two words; and so on until fifth, five words. I love the show ten times more knowing that than I ever did before.
On rewatching Buffy S6, I have a lot more sympathy for Xander in Hell's Bells. He's a juvenile jerk, sure, but when he's ripped out of the illusion of his future, the first and only thing he cares about i whether he hurt Anya. And for that, he gets credit in my book. Still way too self-righteous and selfish for me to admire him as a person, but at least with Anya he was trying to act in good faith.
