Dear Shirley, Earth Angel:

I can see why you like the character Alex in To the Hilt: he is okay with being different or odd, to live life his own way regardless of social convention and criticism. The quote: ” “I paint what I like. I earn my bread.” I like this quote very much. In other words, Alex is saying: I work, earn my money, pay my bills so I get to paint what I like. And he likes solitude, like you. Isn’t it inspiring when people don’t apologize for their ways regardless of the social conventions?

I can see why you like Emily’s quote: “i’m know as a dragon There aren’t many with the guts of Saint George.” – you value courage very much.

Back to Alex, another thing in common with you is his appreciation of the elderly, something you wrote about repeatedly in previous posts. I like that last quote: “I strongly sensed a singular powerful entity that might have intensified with time, not faded”- I hope this could be said about me, and you, someday, in old age!
