today's quote

[mamajoan]

"When once the itch of literature comes over a [person], nothing can cure it but the scratching of a pen." --Samuel Lover (1797-1868)

Here's a sad thought: Do you think the day will come, in the not too distant future, when kids will hear that quote and say "I don't get it, what's a pen?"?

Nah, even if it's an electronic pen writing in a handheld computer of some sort, there will always be a need for a portable writing method.
