Thank you for sharing that quote with us, Kris!  Anyway, this little poem 
was posted to another (non-quote-related) mailing list I'm on & I thought 
this would be the perfect place to share it:
-----------------------------------
"Who Hath A Book"
Who hath a book has friends at hand
And gold and gear at his command
And rich estates, if he but look
Are held by he who hath a book
Who hath a book has but to read
And he may be a king indeed
His kingdom is his inglenook
All this is his, who hath a book
-----------------------------------
If anyone knows the author of it, please tell me, all I know is that it was 
by someone named ----- Naismith.  Thanks!
Shorah,
   Kah'tina

  "Now the Sirens have a still more fatal weapon
    than their song, namely their silence...
  Someone might possibly have escaped from
    their singing;
  but from their silence, certainly never."
         --Franz Kafka in "Parables"

Hey, all:
I have this really great quote, that I have absolutely no reason to use on
my site, so I'm giving it to you all, as inspiration:
"Positive obsession is about not being able to stop just because you're
afraid and full of doubts."
Octavia Butler, in the essay "Positive Obsession," in _Bloodchild and Other
Stories_. 1996, p. 133
Octavia Butler is this wonderful science fiction writer; her essay is about
how difficult it is for her, a black woman, to write science fiction amidst
criticism that she's 'wasting her talent'.
I think the quote is perfect for what I do, and I suspect it fits a lot of
us on the Internet.
