Taking the Long Road

We Are What We Pretend to Be

Silvrback blog imageAnyone who has read my blog for any length of time knows that I like a good phrase. One that might be from a movie or a quote from someone. A good line to me is one that provokes me to stop and read it again, and then again, and then to save it somewhere to consider it again.
