Quotes.
Well, I have half an hour to kill before I can go home, and I simply cannot do anything productive in any way, shape, or form. So I'm typing up all the quotes in my copy of The Tale of the Body Theif that I've highlighted where I can still see the highlighting through this headache, just to have something to do with my hands that doesn't take much effort.
the thrill in utter self-sacrifice (245)
"I cannot live when I am faced with the misery of the world. I cannot justify comfort or pleasure when other people are suffering. I don't know how anyone can." (247)
"God may or may not exist. But misery is real." (248)
I prayed to the dark gods who don't exist to understand. (303)
"Does any being use what he possesses?" "Perhaps a few brave geniuses know their true limits. What do the rest of us do but complain?" (312)
Hopefully, at some point, all my ARVC books will end up as battered and marked up as my copy of QOTD, and with as much highlighting as Ella's version of Blackwood Farm would be if I hadn't lent her TVL for DEAR on Tuesday. But have quite a ways to go until then.
I rather miss my copy of QOTD... I read it obsessively last year, every time I got to the end I'd just turn back to the beginning again. I have dozens of arguments and observations marked with post-its, and a few random quotes I like highlighted.
I'm not particular with what I highlight. I'll highlight random descriptive phrases I like, or full sentences or paragraphs of debate where I actually agree with what they're saying.
Actually, in QotD, I think I have a few dozen post-it note markers and only one phrase highlighted: god of the secret pantheon.
Maybe I'll go in with a different color highlighter and mark up everything about Claudia.
...I am getting really, really attached to that name.
I'm going to sign off before I start making even less sense... and before the computer screen makes my headache worse...
