added a quote:
"Memory is a part of the present. It builds us up inside;it knits our bones to our muscles and keeps our hearts pumping. It is memory that reminds our bodies to work, and memory that reminds our spirits to work to: it keeps us who we are.~Candle-"Son of a Witch" " — Gregory Maguire | |
