Conquering Fear is an Art

January 9, 2010

The conquering of fear is the highest art. This was quoted by a fictional character in a book (The Demon’s Daughter) by Emma Holly. I think it’s a fabulous quote. I had a look for it on Google, to see if it was quoted by anyone else. I didn’t find it, at least not exactly [...]

How to Make a List of Your Interests

November 29, 2009

I don’t think you can make a real list of all the interesting things you like (whether you participate or observe them) in just a few minutes. There are so many elements to ourselves, so many things we have caught in passing and so much flashing through our minds at any given time. But, if [...]
