Writing for life

The little “Quote of the Day” gadget in my Google Desktop sidebar threw up this classic today — and I thought “how appropriate” given the current state of Irish politics.

The word ‘politics’ is derived from the word ‘poly’, meaning ‘many’, and the word ‘ticks’, meaning ‘blood sucking parasites’
Larry Hardiman

Now, can anyone think of an Irish politician who might fit the definition… hmmm?

This popped up in the “Quote of the Day” box on my Google gadget bar yesterday… it struck a chord, so I thought I’d share it:

“If everything seems under control, you’re not going fast enough.” Mario Andretti

I also liked this one:

“Never confuse movement with action.” Ernest Hemingway
