Punishment is due, because I went to bed last night without setting this up and I have no excuse except my own forgetfulness! But I am here now, so please punish me with words and pictures!

This week's quote is:

A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything - Friedrich Nietzsche

I love this quote! It inspires all sorts of things: lunacy, faith, proving things that can't be proven, going for casual strolls. Go on, write or picture me something it inspires in you, however directly or indirectly. Or give me other such quotes, if you can't find your own words. I'll be impressed!

Sorry, Kaige, it won't happen again.

Apologies

I have been predominantly shamelessly AWOL for a couple of days. And for... Just because. Currently I am trapped indoors, with at least 2 feet of snow, and it's still snowing, (29 hours now). I shall attempt to catch up (130 things in LJ inbox, 68 things in my e-mail), I'm hugely looking forward to all of the words you've made!!!

YAY YOU!!!
