Spanish phrase o'the day: Amas de Casa Desesperadas (Desperate Housewives)
I have only the energy to post this quote, which Elizabeth so fortuitously sent me. It's sort of a snapshot summary of all my feelings about the nature of reality, and the constant and on-going thought process I have regarding the seeming reality that "truth is stranger than fiction." Here's the quote.
"Without realizing it, the individual composes his life according to the
laws of beauty even in times of greatest distress. It is wrong, then, to
chide the novel for being fascinated by mysterious coincidences...but it is
right to chide man for being blind to such coincidences in his daily life."
(Milan Kundera, from The Unbearable Lightness of Being)
