Quote for the Day – Timothy Eagan, New York Times Editorialist

‘What’s more, this latest Republican-led assault on the intelligence of young people is anti-American.

Quote for the Day – Thomas Merton

“If you write for God you will reach many men and bring them joy.

If you write for yourself, you can read what you yourself have written and after ten minutes you will be so disgusted that you will wish that you were dead.”~ Thomas Merton, Seeds of Contemplation

No” ~~ E. M. Forster in Howards End
