A Man's Life

“One cannot be dead until the things he changed are dead. A man’s life dies as a commotion in a still pool dies, in little waves spreading and growing back toward stillness.”

To A God Unknown
John Steinbeck

Steinbeck is goodie gumdrops. I love reading him. In between most of my reads I pick up "Of Mice and Men" while I decide what's next. This is a great quote!
On a random but enjoyable note, I'm about to type "backlip" as my word verification to be able to leave this comment. It's perhaps the best word verification I've ever typed. :)
