What's New OR: 'Yo, ladies ... What's happenin ? Whatever Next ? [ Downs Lord Triptych / The Two Confessions / Amy-Faith & the Stronghold] |
QUOTE QORNER ****** Ever since the long lost misty, indeed almost sepia, days of the early 80's I've kept a 'commonplace book', noting down quotations and references that strike me. The impulse stemmed from numberless flailing 'I read ... somewhere that ...' type conversations and thus a resolve to trap passing profundity and preserve it in the temporary amber of print. There was also the notion of such volumes becoming the solace reading of immobile old age and/or a troubling legacy to those who come after ... Anyhow, the upshot is now two buxom books of notes, bulging with what I humbly consider as wisdom, wit or high weirdness. And I've decided to share them with you in a newly instituted 'Quotes Corner' ( or maybe Qorner, just for a laugh ), drip-fed a few entries at a time. Like Chinese water-torture. Or, in the words of the incomparable bard, Neil Innes, at the commencement of his Bob Dylan impersonation: 'I've suffered for my art. Now it's your turn ...' Enjoy,
