I have been the guardian of human courage and dreams. I am legend. I am memory turned to myth. And no mention of Ron anywhere in it. Mind you , it is Welsh, Irish and Scotish legends. He he he.

Diana Sinclair Posts: 10119 Joined: 3rd Apr 2008 Location: USA	quotePosted at 13:30 on 21st July 2008 LOL @ Peter! Ruth: I love that quote too! Here is another favorite of mine: Too often we hold fast to the clichés of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought. Mythology distracts us everywhere. For the great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie: deliberate, contrived, and dishonest. But the myth: persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. John F. Kennedy (Quotation from a speech at Yale University, June 11, 1962) My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Especially this part - "We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." Ruth, I agree it's my favorite part of the quote as well, and all too true isn't it? Wolf: LOL!
