Process the Unprocessible
"Metaphors are a way to help our minds process the unprocessible. The problems arise when we begin to believe literally in our own metaphors."
- Brown, Dan.
The DaVinci Code
. DoubleDay: New York, 2003. pg 341-342

What is a Commonplace Book?
A commonplace book is a personal collection of quotations or passages from any source.
I have collected these thoughts for some time now and decided that a blog is the perfect place to organize them all together.
Some entries may include a commentary.
If this is your first visit here, please visit the sidebar to search quotations by theme or label.
