words...

Here are some quotes from the book (can you guess? Coz, I ain't telling. Clue though...Mizuage) that I liked...when I read the book again, maybe I'll add more. ;P

"...what life could I have? I would be like a dancer who had practiced since childhood for a performance she would never give." ~p.406

" 'I never seek to defeat the man I am fighting I seek to defeat his confidence. a mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory. Two men are equals-true equals-only when they both have equal confidence.' " ~p.377

"Nowadays many people seem to believe their lives are entirely a matter of choice; but in my day we viewed ourselves as pieces of clay that forever show the fingerprints of everyone who touched them."

my Blog description...

Invictus ~William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced, nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tear,
Looms the horrors of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.

It matter not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll;
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul!

~Invictus -Latin for 'Unconquerable'
~it fits, doesn't it? I've been trying to find a poem or quote that would describe why I named my blog 'Captain'...thank goodness my blockmate knew of this. Yippee!
