Another night
Feb. 9th, 2005 09:59 pm...and another chance to show off new DangerMouse avatars.
I was writing merrily...ok, make that haltingly...along last night when I hit a point at which Niall, my lit major colonel, quoted something. I didn't plan it that way, but every so often I reach a place where/when I realize that Niall would Say Something. Problem is, except for the fact that the subject matter would be guilt, or war, or a combo platter, I didn't know what he'd say.
So out came my Oxford Dictionary of Quotations. I spent an hour's writing time last night paging, paging, paging, and didn't come up with anything suitable. Decided to Google war quotes tonight and by golly, found something. It's something I should probably have known right off the bat, but a lit'ry quotation machine I ain't. Reference materials are my friends.
And on that note...once more unto the breach, dear friends...
