"what is revenge but extravagant justice?"So I came across a really cool quote in the book I'm writing my paper on:
"Take some thread of yourself--say it is your ability to love--put your finger on it and trace it back in time. Not far, and your finger finds a lump, a bump, a tangle, a ganglion. Here the thread loops back on itself, encircles and chokes itself, convolutes till you know: it is a knot...
Let me know that into the knot of self comes the thread called time, and that what I am, disgraced or blessed, came from what I was, goes to what I yet may be."

This book by the way (if I haven't already said so...), is one of the best books I have yet to read. I hated the narrator, but loved the book. It is long (almost 700 pages), but well worth it. Highly recommended.
