One of my most favorite quotes. Do you have any book-related quotes that you especially love, or certain lines from books that have stuck with you over time?
This happened to me recently, with psuedoscience. I first learned it through reading books like Demon Wanted World, and even though I've since heard the correct pronunciation ("soodoscience"), I tend to default to my original attempt ("sway-do-science"). Maybe it's the "sway"...it just makes me think of minds being seduced into irrationality.
My spelling is so bad these days but I'm too lazy to check it or fix it!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, sometimes mine is too. My brain gets ahead of my hand when I'm writing and then I've got a jumble of letters that are not always words, haha.
