- "…whatever these futilities of mine may be, I have no intention of hiding them, any more than I would a bald and grizzled portrait of myself just because the artist had painted not a perfect face but my own. Anyway these are my humours, my opinions: I give them as things which I believe, not as things to be believed. My aim is to reveal my own self, which may well be different tomorrow if I am initiated into some new business which changes me." Michel de Montaigne
- "If I am asked to explain why I learned the bicycle I should say I did it as an act of grace, if not of actual religion." Frances E. Willard

Pingback: Book Give-Away « Of Books and Bicycles
Clearly I do not need another book, but I want another book, especially when the offer extends to everything you’ve reviewed here. Now isn’t that terrible? Please add my name to the hat.
I am not a blogger, but I do teach English, read voraciously, and love to ride a bike. I just stumbled on your blog and have been quite addicted!
I loved the piece about Wallace Stevens, L’monocle de mon oncle, that unearthed lines from my undergraduate days I had been seeking for over 50 years, “Two golden gourds distended . . .We hang like warty squashes.”
Thanks very much.
