#4 - That Reminds You Of Your Friends.

My closest friends and I are all a bit weird and have our little quirks that outsiders might find a bit strange. However, the fact that we all accept it means that our friendships all work quite well.

"A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked."
— Bernard Meltzer

#3 - That Rings True.

I am so wonderfully useless and busy these days that I have already messed up my attempt to post a quote everyday for a month. I will not be defeated, I will get to the end of this challenge, it just may take a little longer than 30 days.

"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death."
-Roger Fulgham, All I Really Need to Know I Learnt in Kindergarten

#2 - That Makes You Think.

“Humans are the only animal that blushes, laughs, has religion, wages war, and kisses with lips. So in a way, the more you kiss with lips, the more human you are. And the more you wage war.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

#1 - That Makes You Laugh.

"I haven't any right to criticise books, and I don't do it except when I hate them. I often want to criticise Jane Austen, but her books madden me so that I can't conceal my frenzy from the reader; and therefore I have to stop every time I begin. Everytime I read 'Pride and Prejudice' I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone."
- Mark Twain; Letter to Joseph Twichell, 13 September 1898

Challenge.

This month I wanted to set myself some kind of challenge. I have set myself a writing challenge, that I may eventually share on here, but for now I am going to set myself a challenge where everyday I am going to post a quote, as I am always scrawling them down and I have notebooks and scraps of paper everywhere that are absolutely covered in the words of others. How well I stick to this remains to be seen.

Banana Bread & Muffins.

I spent this afternoon baking, just for the fun of it. Using the two new books I have recently acquired - Mary Berry's '100 Cakes and Bakes' and Nigella Lawson's 'How To Be A Domestic Goddess'. I find baking extremely enjoyable, and luckily my housemates seemed to enjoy eating the final results. The banana bread, along with a cup of tea, made the perfect evening snack when some of us gathered in the kitchen for a bit of a chat.
