got another one from American Gods (Neil Gaiman): my people thought there was something behind everything, a creator, a great spirit and so we thanked it, because it is always good to thank someone. But we never built churches. We didn't have to. The land was our church. The land was our religion. The land was older and wiser then the people walking on it.
wow... Neil Gaiman is such an amazing writer!!!

What's up, Teppic?

"of all the possible futures in front of me, a life with you is one that has been taken away, and i will never know if it would have held the most happiness or the least" from Other Women by Evelyn Lau these are the last words in the book and absolutely perfect ending for this story.
