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
