Intriguing Quotes

This is a sure Saturday slump that I am giving myself today, having decided to just stay inside our room in the officetel building. Serves me right I guess for tiring myself from last Saturday's hike in the mountains and this week's dreaded report presentation in the office. All I really wanted to do this whole day, as I have promised myself since last night, is pig out and be sober. Hahaha. As if there's a lot to take out from the fridge. Oh, anyway...

I have done my usual weekly laundry and ironing, as well as brought down this week's garbage. I have also have cleaned my little bed space and the table where my laptop is placed. So here I am stuck in front of the screen, and I complain about my blurring eyes. I tell everyone about how long I glue my eyes everyday to the laptop screen at work, thus, causing the blur, and I still do the same at home on weekends. What else do you expect me to do? There really are just those days when I feel like relaxing and catching up with the life that I left at home via the internet. It's getting cold outside, anyway. Winter is coming.

I sure am feeling oh-so bloggy, but there doesn't seem to be that much ideas flowing in my mind. Demands from work these past weeks sure killed the few usable brain cells that make up my skull, that I now end up digging into old files for any pictures I might work on writing about, or Word files that may contain any interesting idea, so as to help.

One interesting Word file that I just dug out contains three personally intriguing quotes, that I remember saving. I try to recall why I took note of them, and, well, I don't want to further comment. Here:

“You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence me on this subject forever.”
Pride and Prejudice

You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view . . . until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.
To Kill A Mockingbird

I’m standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff—I mean if they’re running and they don’t look where they’re going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That’s all I’d do all day. I’d just be the catcher in the rye and all.
The Catcher In The Rye

I wonder if I could talk myself to admitting where I am supposed to use these quotes, and why they spoke so much of my status at that time I saved them. Hahaha. By the way, I've watched Pride and Prejudice and read The Catcher In the Rye.
