Quote of the Day

Joel: What's the point of being a writer or an artist anyway? Herman Melville wrote Moby Dick, he was so poor and forgot by the time he died that in his obituary they called him Henry Melville. You know, like why bother? They're just going to forget our names anyway.
James Brennan: Your Herman Melville story that - that's bull.
Joel: It's true, they called him Henry.
James Brennan: No, I mean, he wrote a seven-hundred page allegorical novel about the whaling industry. I think he was a pretty passionate guy, Joel. I hope they call me Henry when I die, too.
Joel: One can only hope

"This is the day of the Motorist, and anyone who walks is viewed with suspicion. You see a man coming down the road now, just meditating, and you figure he's either mad or out of gas. It's such a rarity that dogs bark as if they'd seen a ghost."

~Vance Havner
