“If stories come to you, care for them. And learn to give them away where they are needed. Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive.”

The Fourth Weekly Quote Challenge
Started By Sarah M, continued on because it’s interesting. Here are the rules. The Quote is above so you can skip the rules if so inclined. Finna has graciously agreed to post the next quote.
1) Each week, on Monday, a quote will be posted. If you feel so inclined to center a blog post around that quote- whether it be a direct inspiration, a memory it calls to mind, or anything having to do with that quote at all- then you have a week to do it.
2) If you choose to blog about the quote, go back to the post where the quote challenge was originally issued, and post a link to the blog entry so that others playing or watching can read your interpretation.
3) This week’s quote challenger tags the next week’s quote challenger. For example, I’m challenging today, and I’ll be tagging Finna. When she issues her challenge next week, she’ll tag somebody, preferably with their permission, giving them a week’s notice to come up with a quote, and so on. If you don’t want to play? Tell her ‘no’ when she asks. If you really want to challenge, then you have a week to bribe her. Just make sure that the person you’re tagging knows.
4.) If you want to be tagged, you have to have participated the week before
5) If you are going to post your link in the comments, it needs to be a publicly viewable entry. Play privately if you want, by all means, but don’t post the link if you’re not sharing it with everyone- that’s mean.
6)Participation is totally voluntary. Play this week; don’t play next week-it’s up to you. The only requirement is that if you are the challenger, you must blog on the quote you chose during your week.
And may all your stories be good ones.

Wow, you must be a mind reader, I’ve been thinking about something along these same lines for a while and now I have a good place to put thought to paper (so to speak!) Can’t wait to sink my teeth into this one.

Yeah, me too… but I don’t think mine hits the same way.

[...] …was graciously supplied by Sheila, who also was nice enough to reiterate the rules and the history of the quote challenge at her site, so I will not repeat them here. I almost opted out of the challenge this week. First, I have been on vacation – since I sit on a computer all day at work, vacations generally mean I do not look at a computer for the duration. Second, I have been in the middle of acephalgic migraines, and, among other annoying side effects, they tend to make me feel stupid and slow. So, if this response is lacking my usual scintillating wit (and are in violation of most rules of educated grammar) – blame the brain for taking a longer vacation than I intended. Chances are, you aren’t going to notice the difference, and the main effect of the migraines is a breakdown in my own powers of self-deception. [...]
