Familiarity

# The best treasures found,

are the treasures we don't seek. #
(--I made this up while driving, clever or not? hehehe)

I stumble upon this quote when I was in Borders.

When I get a little money, I buy books.

And if there is any leftover, I buy food.

~~~Desiderius Eramus.

Now, I can feel less guilty about splurging on books.

Watched Constant Gardener. There was one scene where Rachel Weisz wanted to give two Africans a ride to save them from a torturous 40km journey on foot. Her husband Ralph Fiennes refused.

RF: There are millions of them here. We can't help them all. We can't put their lives into ours.

RW:We can help this one.

RF: I'm sorry, but I have to put my priorities right.

Ralph stepped on the pedal and sped off. Rachel looked at the Africans with a longingly guilty expression.

The scene seems disturbingly familiar.
