omnia vincit amor Part 2

2 hardest things to contemplate in life, Richard Curry once told Paul, are failure and age, and those are one and the same. Perfection is the natural consequence of eternity: wait long enough and anything will realize its potential.

Coal becomes diamonds, sand becomes pearls, apes become men. It's simply not given to us, in one lifetime, to see those consummations, and so every failure becomes a reminder of death.

BUT LOVE LOST IS A SPECIAL KIND OF FAILURE, I think. It's a reminder that some consummations, no matter how devoutly wished for, never come, that some apes will never be men, not in all the world's ages. What's a monkey to think, who with a typewriter and eternity still can't eke out Shakespeare?

I've Found Myself!!!

...Written on the pages of John Irving's masterpiece.

As a schoolboy, he was a promising student, a fair-minded and likable kid, without being terribly original. Those classmates who could remember from his elementary-school days would never have described him as daring. Later, in high school,his success with girls notwithstanding,he was rarely a bold boy, certainly not a reckless one. While he was irrefutably good-looking, what his former girlfriends would recall as most appealing about him was that he deferred to them.

Throughout college, no one would have predicted that fame was his destiny. "He was so unchallenging," an ex-girlfriend said.Another young woman, who'd known him briefly in graduate school, agreed. "He didn't have the confidence of someone who was going to do anything special" was how she put it.

He wore a perpetual but dismaying smile- the look of someone who knows he's met you before but can't recall the exact occasion. He might have been in the act of guessing whether the previous meeting was at a funeral or in a brothel, which would explain why, in his smile, there was an unsettling combination of grief and embarrasment.

No one who knew him would ever say he was an adventurer or an idealist, but surely he'd been idealistic once. When he was a boy, he must have had dreams; even if his goals were private, unexpressed, he'd had goals.

-The Fourth Hand, John Irving

Those who knew me long enough might know what I mean...

Except for the brothel part la...u know..weeks is gud gud boi leh

A Prayer.

"YOU CAN'T TAKE A MIRACLE AND JUST SHOW IT!" he said indignantly. "YOU CAN'T PROVE A MIRACLE - YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE IT! IF THE RED SEA ACTUALLY PARTED, IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THAT," he said. " IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE ANYTHING - IT'S NOT A PICTURE ANYONE CAN EVEN IMAGINE .

- A Prayer For Owen Meany by John Irving


A book that I've been reading for about, 2months now. I don't really have much time to read books that aren't related to my studies you see, so the only time and place that I really do read my novels are when I'm with John...yes, The John.


I've always been excited about John Irving. Not that I've ever read any of his other works before, but his books are always the 'expensive' and 'featured' ones on the "Hot" corners. And I, I don't believe in spending RM40 for books that are not read and proven wonderful. I buy all(most) my books from Pay Less Books :D


I'm a loyal customer, you know.


RM 40 can buy up to 6 good books in PLB uh. I'm not talking about books by nobody for nobody, I'm talking about Susan Minot, John Irving himself, Sue Gritter, etc. I even got a copy of the original Bridget Jones' Diary(yes i know its a girls book) over there, for RM8, when it was selling for RM35 in MPH.


Anyways, why am I promoting PLB?


Have a good day people.
