The Beginning

I have a habit of collecting quotes. (By the way, could anybody tell me how to make the topics in my sidebar into links to the categories, or point me to the right section in the FAQ?) I don't expect much, if any, of them to interest anyone by myself. I was getting tired of having quotes scattered all over the place in various notebooks and sheets of paper. (I seriously thought this LJ was just going to be a place to post stories? Hah!) The following are from Tropic of Night by Michael Gruber. I enjoy it because it's both a terrific novel and source of anthropological information.

( Cut for insanely long entry )

Note to self: look more into Santeria, Chenka, Olo, Yoruba, Tour de Montaille

Have patience with more quotes that will be coming.
