- "The Road goes ever on and on; Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say." JRR Tolkein.

good quote, albeit from a faithless author. but incredibly talented! check out this story:

I like that story! It remindes me of Ecclesiasties: Vanity, Vantiy, all is vanity and grasping at the wind. Of course, he writes off faith with everything else, but considering how easy it is to go to church and be 'religiouse' and still find it all empty that is not surprising.
glad you liked it. i find it fascinatingly well-written, the way it flows and there is not a stray word in it. would that i had such talent!
true. the religious thing is a constant thorn in the christian's side. but we shall overcome! =D
I read the quote about writing in a book called, "The elements of Style" by William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White, and the main thing they say over and over again is, "Cut unnecessary words!" It seems to be their mantra. Very good book too.
