My turn to take the book quiz!

1. Hardcover or paperback, and why?

Paperback, because their more fragile that way and I hate dust covers but without dust covers, all books look the same, but paperbacks all look different and it's much more difficult to kill people with paperbacks than with hardcovers, I think people have done enough killing with and over books, way too much than it should have been, that's for sure.

Outside the Cave

3. My favorite quote from a book (mention the title) is…

'The tao that can be told is not the eternal tao,
the tao that can be named is not the eternal name'

Another good one is this

'What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun'

the Teacher who was king over Israel in Jerusalem, Ecclesiastes

Another good one:

'And every soul shall be paid back fully what is has done, and Allah knows best what they do'

Muhammad, 'The Companies:70' Qu'ran

Also:

'Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neigbor as yourself. I am the Lord'

Moses, Leviticus 19:18
