...our whole nature at its best and least corrupted, its gentlest and most humane, is still soaked with the sense of 'exile'.
J. R. R. Tolkien

I really liked this quote, but decided to let it go. Is my new signature just an excuse to link to the awesome bastion of amateur literary intelligentsia that is the Fan Fiction forum (see, I did it again!)? Mostly, yes. I still like the quote, though.

Well I don't have the exact quote, because I did get rid of it a while ago. But I would love to say a fond farewell to one of my most favorite quotes ever. If you have seen the film Finding Nemo you most definitely know this quote: It is Dory's quote from when they run into the Jellyfish, and she finds a small one, and calls it her "Squishy". I thought it was one of the most brilliant lines from such a brilliant film, so I had to have the quote for a while. But now I'm on to Gandhi for at least a little bit
