IMPACT AND 

INFLUENCE ON 

EACH OTHER.

Quote for the Day - October 31, 2010

"People come into our lives

and then they go again.

The extropy law,

as applied to human relations.

Sometimes in their passing,

though,

they register an unimagined

and far reaching influence....

There is no scientific way

to discern such effects,

but memory believes

before knowing remembers.

And the past lives

coiled within the present,

beyond sight,

beyond revocation,

lifting us up

or weighing us down,

sealed away almost completely -

behind walls of pearl."

David Quammen, "Chambers of Mercy," Words from the Land, 1986
