    Was reading…

    Fear Itself by Michael Reaves and Steven-Elliot Altman when I came across a passage where Bruce was attending his own Masquerade Party as Zorro. He then went on to describe how the Zorro costume made him want to swagger. I got a pretty good laugh out of it, and thought I’d share it. 

    Five minutes later Bruce started for the entrance hall. He was resisting the urge to swagger; there was something about the Zorro costume that was swagger-inducing. Odd, really. It was just a mask and a cape, after all; not so different from the cowl and cloak he wore nearly every night. And yet his “work clothes” inspired no desire to swagger. 

    Must be the sleeves, he thought.

    Imagination and memory are but one thing, which for diverse considerations, have diverse names.

    But for every one of us, trying in earnest to write fiction is a testing of the principal resources of mind and heart that is bound to turn on some lights in those areas which we never knew we had.

    I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.
