My QUOTE of the DAY
The greater philosopher a man is,
the more difficult it is for him to answer,
the foolish questions of common people.
-Henryk Sienkiewicz
(1846-1916)
Henryk Sienkiewicz was a noble prize winning Polish novelist, of the Victorian & Edwardian eras. Although I haven’t read any of his famed masterpieces, I saw this quote in a newspaper, some years ago. Then and there, I cut it and pasted it on the wall. One of my favourite quotes. Henryk Sienkiewicz is most famous for having authored some brilliant historical works of fiction. Am most keen on reading, the English translation of, Sienkiewicz’s epic, Quo Vadis (published in 1895), set in Rome around 64 AD, under the rule of Emperor Nero. In fact, this brilliant quote is from Quo Vadis itself.

Sienkiewicz makes me feel better for being terrible at small talk. 🙂 Also, hello, it’s been a while! Sorry I haven’t stopped by in so long – I haven’t been as active on WordPress in the past few months. I’m trying to fix that now. 🙂
Yeah, am not a fan of small talk either. I hate wasting time on idle gossip. I love discussing films, books, art & artists, history, et al. Pretty much like my write-ups on my Blog.
And, about not visiting my Blog for a while, that’s OK. When we get busy, it’s hard to keep up with all the Blogs. Sometimes I am like, “Oh, I haven’t visited this persons Blog in awhile, I wonder what he/she/it has blogged about, lately” So I can understand. I might not have time to check some Blogs sometimes, but that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten them. 🙂
Take Care. And looking forward to seeing your quotes, for this challenge. 😀
