In the past six months or so I've been doing a rather strange experiment. I spent a few hours per week on trains until the end of the semester, and took to walking up to random people and asking them to write in the large blue notebook that'll become the mobile arm of my thoughts folder just as soon as I form it. Write what? Anything whatsoever, short, long, original, quoted - as long as the writer considers what s/he's writing wise. Whatever is written, I accept. I would explain what I'm asking, clarify as needed, but not get involved in content generation beyond that.<br><br>Here, I'd like to ask those interested to post their own entries. They'll be copied and added to the folder. The rules are the same as before.<br><br>As for reasons, I'd much like a noble goal but started by thinking "Hey, wouldn't doing this and seeing what happens be neat?". This post is one of a few similar ones made in different forums as a kind of control group thing, the same request in a vastly different enviroment.

I have many quotes archived, but won't over-crowd your notebook Kizor.<br><br>The child's days escape adult time; their time is swollen by subjectivity, passion, dreams haunted by reality. Outside, the educators look on, waiting, watch in hand, till the child joins and fits the cycle of the hours. - Raoul Vaneigem<br><br>Let the object draw the picture using the ink brush as a tool. - Chinese Proverb

You learn something new everyday. Actually, you learn something old everyday. Just because you just learned it, doesn't mean it's new. Other people already knew about it. Columbus is a good example of this. <br><br>George Carlin
