Quote

"I am a hoarder of two things: documents and trusted friends. The former outweigh the latter in quantity but the latter outdo the former in quality.

Details fascinate me. I love to pile up details. They create an atmosphere. Names, too, have a magic, be they never so humble. Most of the names in this, the following account of the first thirty-nine years of my life, are unknown to the public. For that very reason they are all the more precious to me."

--Muriel Spark, from the very beginning of Curriculum Vitae


Also, my goal for one year from now: to be at a church that does not sing this hymn. Two years in a row is just too much.
