Belgarath the Sorcerer | David Eddings, Leigh Eddings

“When you know that something's going to happen, you'll start trying to see signs of its approach in just about everything. Always try to remember that most of the things that happen in this world aren't signs. They happen because they happen and their only real significance lies in normal #cause and effect...I'm not denying there might actually be a few signs that you won't want to miss. Knowing the difference is the tricky part.” #QuotsyMar19

Pogue I love these books. 6y

Jovy Ah Eddings, another fantasy author I hold dear and near to my heart. ❤️ 6y

Freespirit True! 6y

gradcat @Freespirit It‘s hard sometimes, though, especially nowadays....🤔 6y

Freespirit I agree also @gradcat Its no longer a friendly discussion, everyone is so polarised😁 6y

gradcat @Freespirit Ain‘t it a shame! And if I‘m honest, I‘m becoming quite strident myself. I don‘t remember ever being so disgusted by people in my own country, but hey, there it is. Quite depressing. 😞 (edited) 6y

Freespirit Ditto😓 6y

Booksnchill Nice one 6y

RealBooks4ever Currently reading FD and learned today that Lincoln met with leaders of the black community and suggested they take their brethren and relocate to Panama. The things they don't tell you in the U.S. school system!! I need to verify this.

Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom

CBee @RealBooks4ever oh my, I definitely hadn‘t heard that. Let me know once you verify it, I‘m very interested to hear! 🤔 6y

RealBooks4ever Yep, it's true! https://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/08/16/lincolns-panama-plan/ 6y

CBee @RealBooks4ever I actually mentioned to my husband (resident history genius), and he said it was true. I do agree with you that a LOT is left out when teaching history in school! 😞 6y

Einstein's Dreams | Alan Lightman

“Consider a world in which #cause and effect are erratic. Sometimes the first precedes the second, and sometimes the second the first. Or perhaps cause lies forever in the past, effect in the future, but future and past are intertwined.”

Einstein‘s Dreams is one of my favorite books - so much fuel for ideas and imagination.
