Well I am only sixty pages into this weeks reading (disappointing i know), but finding sentences of the weeks is a very easy task with this book. There was a vast amount to choose from and each meant something to Alex Supertramp. A lot of the sentences are from books that were found in the bus- high lighted and scribbled to death-when Alex's body was discovered. Well here we go..
1.) "It should not be denied...that being footlose has always exhilerated us."- Written by Wallace Stegner in "The American West As Living Space"
2.) "No man ever followed his genius till it misled him"- Written by Henry David Thoreau in "Walden, or Life In the Woods
3.)"It is true that many creative people fail to make mature personal relationships, and some are extremely isolated. It is also true that, in some instances, trauma, in the shape of early separation or bereavement, has steered the potentially creative person toward developing aspects of his personality which can find fulfillment in comparative isolation." Written by Anthony Stork in "Solitude: A Return To the Self" This one is my favorite because when first read it sounds intellectual and promotes solitude. But I believe that solitude for the creative mind is a punishment, and actually not good at all.
