I have a Burroughs reference, a Bible reference, a fairytale reference, an apocrypha reference and an X-files reference so far. All quotes, except the aprocrypha one which is a small symbol used as a linebreak. I have Hoban, Stoppard and Larkin quotations planned, and have wanted them for years now - it's mostly a question of budget. More as and when I fall in love with other books or ideas. A calligraphy nib on my forefinger in UV ink (so it's invisible under normal light) would be cool but I think it'd fade too fast and be too rarely seen to be worthwhile.

Isn't so strange is it? And anyway, it's largely a matter of how one's psyche prefers to act and catalogue information. One person will feel that another is being judgemental, when in essence that person is simply externalising (by speaking) his arbitrary distinctions and not really caring one way or the other, secure in the knowledge that they do not matter much to his core mode of cognising. The second person who shies away from making such exclamations is on the other hand very internally organized ethically and with general values and will feel such distinctions to be quite dangerously precise, perhaps discriminatory (in the bad sense) . For them, or anyone for that matter, should they hold them, they might be.
