"If it looks like a Dwarf and smells like a Dwarf, then it's probably a Dwarf (or a latrine wearing dungarees)"

New signature quote, courtesy To the Lighthouse, my new favorite book.
What is the use of a violent kind of delightfulness if there is no pleasure in not getting tired of it.
- Gertrude Stein
A washerwoman with her basket; a rook; a red-hot poker; th purples and grey-greens of flowers: some common feeling which held the whole together.
- Virginia Woolf
Thought I would go with two of my favorite things, that go really well together. Drinking coffee and reading.

Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
New picture in my signature, a carving of the real Virgil. Also changed the quote from Cicero to one by Virgil.

I don't intend to change my signature a lot. From the day I created an account I only added the 'Das Leben ist eine Komödie, mach bitte kein Drama daraus' aphorism ('Life is a comedy, don't make a drama out of it').

Hey, would it be weird if someone changed their screen name??
Do, or do not. There is no try. - Yoda
At a LOTR site I used to frequent you could do just that, your user name actually stayed the same but you could change your "display name" so people would see whatever you changed it to. It was incredibly confusing, I didn't like it... although it was nice if you wanted to go incognito for a day or two.![]()
the luminous grass of the prairie hides
feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
but weighty and unmovable
As black Dakota hills. ~ Riesa
I really like what people use for their avatar and then personalize their signatures ... it gives a bit of insight into that person's personality, as they have purposely chosen these things... Hmmm, maybe that is going too deep, in anycase, it IS interesting, lol!
I really like that Faulkner quote of yours, Virgil.
I want to change my signature, but I am too lazy today, maybe tomorrow...![]()
Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty
~Albert Einstein
Yep, I'm not exactly happy with my avatar even though I change it so often. A purple butterfly is ok, but just, I don't know, boring?
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
Why, thanks!It comes from his poem 'Ash Wednesday', but I came across it while I was reading a book I purchased about Zen quotes. I would like to be able to sit still, and achieve a small nirvana, I don't even ask for a big one heh
Like Kiz said, your quote from Faulkner is great. Has a heroic tone to it, suits ever so well in a Virgilian context![]()
how do you like my new avvy?
I'm just fooling around with different avvies once more... probably i'll go back to old seshomaru in less than a week
