"The scholar has lived in many times and is therefore to some degree immune from the great cataract of nonsense that pours from the press of his own age."
About Me
- Laura Headley
- "It was when I was happiest that I longed most...The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing...to find the place where all the beauty came from."
Moon River
Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end-- waiting 'round the bend, my huckleberry friend, Moon River and me.

Hummm...I'm mystified--you don't want to miss anything in life?
Well I don't want to miss anything, but this is actually a pop culture reference.
