Random Quotes.

I try to post on Wednesdays a scene from the current book I'm reading {regardless of whether or not I plan to write a review on it after I've finished it}. However, the current book I'm reading {Timeline by Michael Crichton} doesn't really have a good enough scene for me to post, so I shall substitute it with some random quotes from various other books I've read. For a semi-complete list of books I've read, look to the right of your screen where you will see a long column of authors and titles. ;)

And, for your added enjoyment {or lack thereof if you're a guy ;)}, a couple of quotes from my favorite movie, The Phantom of the Opera!!

"You will curse the day you did not do all that the Phantom asked of you!" ~ The Phantom.

"No more memories, no more silent tears, no more gazing across the wasted years, help me say goodbye." ~ Christine.

"The power of the music of the night; you alone can make my song take flight." ~ The Phantom.
