I'm not much of an autobiographer (such things are better left to the professionals).

Here are a few favorite quotes:

    My favourite quote : "It's easier to die in the world that you understand, than to live in the world that doesn't make sense" - Geronimo?

    Hi Ian,

    I like the quotes you've listed. I think my favorite on your list may be Emerson. Langston Hughes has one that goes like so: Poetry should inform as well as entertain.

    My favorite quote is: "The purpose of your life may be to serve as a warning to others." So what do you do if you're not an autobiographer (aside from read books...)?

    Ian, I've just joined Writing Readers. I've been writing for about 4 years, finished a novel and a few stories, haven't published yet., I live near you, in Ben Lomond. Are you involved in any live writing groups locally? I haven't found much on this side of the hill. I have one local writing buddy but I'd love to expand my network.
    Also, based on your George MacDonald quote, I wonder if you'd be interested in joining my new Shelfari group, Literature of Grace?

    Nice, eclectic shelf! I am always excited to see shelves on this site that actually review the books. Have you ever read Somerset Maugham's The Painted Veil? Based on some of your tags & books, I think you would like it. :)
