Once as a child he had sat upon a yellow dune by the sea in the middle of the blue and hot summer day, trying to fill a sieve with sand, because some cruel cousin had said, “Fill this sieve and you'll get a dime!” And the faster he poured, the faster it sifted through with a hot whispering. His hands were tired, the sand was boiling, the sieve was empty. Seated there in the midst of July, without a sound, he felt the tears move down his cheeks.

"Books were only one type of receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical in them, at all. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us."

I've started reading Fahrenheit 451. It's the first time I've read it. I like it.

I love you all.

Rock on.

I read every single one of those comments on Andy's journal. You are still faithful and true. He's lucky to have a friend like you.

Your journal rocks, and Fahrenheit 451 kicks some ass.

Hope you enjoy it.

Best wishes,

Yes, I suppose.

It's apparently a classic and I've only just gotten around to reading it.

That's my quote of almost forever.

I put it at the top of my journal too.
