Birthday Wisdom!

[mr_orgue]

hey everyone,
it's my birthday! (hurray!)

as I do every year, i encourage people to give me a birthday present in the form of a quote dropped into comments on my blog.

It can be lyrics, a passage from a novel, something your uncle said one time, graffiti on the bus, whatever... the diversity of stuff always makes me very happy :-)

So if you are moved

Happy birthday!

"He was a man who would never ask for sympathy. He was a man who sought only to do what was right. Such people appear in the world, every world, now and then, like a single refrain of some blessed song, a fragment caught on the spur of an otherwise raging cacophony.

Imagine a world without such souls.

Yes, it should have been harder to do."

-- Stephen Erickson

There is nothing wrong with asking for sympathy, but there is something wrong with not wanting to give it.

Skip Williams on atmosphere in an adventure in the Dragonlance supplement "Heroes of Steel":

"The port of Schallsea is downright boring for adventurers. Narrators can convey the mood by playing polka music or the like."
