QUOTE A DAY - May 31, 2011

Greetings fellow quote lovers:

Hope you all commemorated Memorial Day by praying we get an end to the seemingly endless wars we get into. Each party is responsible for the same stuff and give us the illusion that there is a difference between them.

Today's theme was suggested by a long-time reader who is a fan of the great Russian author, Dostoevsky. I took all of the quotes from the first Russian novel I ever read; Crime & Punishment. That was back when I was 17!

Enjoy and be safe.

Best,

JA

They were both pale and thin; but those sick pale faces were bright with the dawn of a new future, of a full resurrection into a new life.
