Avatar and Signature Changes

[Virgil]

Amazing. That quote moves me. Similarly:

"We live as we dream - alone."

Heart of Darkness


Three cheers for human existence!

I love both quotes, but the Conrad one is very powerful.

Why are you such a pessimist, Shout? Life can be good too. It's both a blessing and a burden. I'll stick with my William Faulkner one.

[Idril]

New Signature from Thomas Wolfe's "God's Lonely Man."

I love that kind of meloncholy, somewhat pessimistic stuff, although I don't think of it as pessimistic, just realistic.

I decided to change my signature to part of William Faulkner's Nobel Prize acceptance speech. It says so much that I try to say. I wish I could fit more of it.

I think this is the whole thing:

Here's a brief history of my avatars etc:

First I had Darth Vader and then I had some images that I made with my software (some ladybugs and a retarded/weird cartoon cat) and then I had some thumbnail of a LOTR poster that had Gandalf on it. Now I am back to another image of Darth Vader.

My first signature "Still round the corner there may wait, a new road or a secret gate" is a Tolkien quote. That's not there anymore because I got tired of seeing it.

Now I have what Garrison Keillor says at the end of the Writers Almanac everday "Be well, do good work and keep in touch."

The thing about the honey and the bee is an aphorism that struck me as profound one day while on LitNet.

And "Man Overboard Alarm comes from the dark comedy Clay Pigeons. It's not my favorite Lester Long quote but I didn't want to put "some people just need killin'" on my signature. Also, "Barney, could you please not poke the body with a stick" and Barney's response "I was just seeing something..." I guess you'd have to be from here to understand why that is funny. It's the phrasing. It's a hick thing I guess.

I have never changed mine..but seems like riesa has something like ma avatar ..(don't tell her)...

[miss tenderness]

interesting, I love all of your avys,Mysterious and nicely colored.
the black one is my favorite

[miss tenderness]

New signature. Not to be take as sad, but as a man looking forward to meeting his friends or whatever. It motivates me.

thanks for that Huges is a favorite

[Pensive]

I do like Hughes as well. His poems are mostly optimistic.

[OZEED]

Ive just added a new quote from Ravi Zacharias, who is a Christian apologist and author.
It reiterates - 1 Corinthians 13:1

[tainaprincess]

I've just changed my avatar. It was tiresome looking at the same pic all the time. But have no fear, it's still strawberry shortcake.

[miss tenderness]

[Virgil]
