Thought du jour

Robert Fisk had this to say in "The Independent" .

"It's not that everyone with a laptop thinks they can write a book. The problem is that everyone with a laptop does write a book."

Dreams Revisited

As a child I dreamed of palaces and mountains and raging seas. There were great things I was going to do, and there were wondrous places to see. I did no great things, though I saw a few of the places. Now I live those dreams through the eyes and actions of others. But those eyes do not belong to mortal man, and the people are my creations. They live only in my mind, in my imagination, and through them I live those dreams.
