I've mentioned in a previous post that I collect quotes. These quotes are ones that I've found interesting or meaningful over the years and I now have a slim notebook full of them. I've decided to occasionally post a quote in case anyone else might also find it interesting. Today's quote is by James Blish, a wonderful SF writer who passed on in 1975.

I just ran across the fact that James Marsters is shooting a movie called "Shadow Puppets" with Jolene Blaylock and Tony Todd, both ex-ST actors. I'm beginning to think that almost every cast member of BtVS has been or is doing a horror movie--SMG, David Boreanaz, Nick Brendan, Charisma Carpenter, Seth Green and others. For JM, at least, it's a far cry from the "Macbeth" he wants to do. It's not easy being an actor. I had a friend who actually got to play the title role in a movie but was so fed up with cattle calls he gave up acting and became a DA instead.

I spent a good part of the day going over posts at A View from a Broad, [livejournal.com profile] ginmar's lj. She's fantastic--an ardent feminist, an ex-soldier who fought in Iraq, cat lover, book lover, prolific poster with a great sense of humor. I'm in awe of her. She wrote this:

"I don't understand how rich people live, I really don't. Couture? Cars? I'd have a couple extra bedrooms, a fireplace, an inglenook and a breakfast nook. I'd have fireplaces galore and built in bookshelves. I'd have a reader's house down some quiet lane with a creek at the edge of a the property and at least two porches. I've have a room just for books, but it wouldn't be a big house: too much space leaves your soul rattling around in confusion."

Too much space leaves your soul rattling around in confusion. Ooh another lovely quote to add to my collection.
