Todays Thought

We open our mouths and out flow words whose ancestries we do not even know. We are walking lexicons. In a single sentence of idle chatter we preserve Latin, Anglo-Saxon, Norse: we carry a museum inside our heads, each day we commemorate peoples of whom we have never heard. 

-Penelope Lively, writer (b. 17 Mar 1933)

Todays Thought

It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.  -Edmund Hillary, mountaineer and explorer (20 Jul 1919-2008)
