Quote of the Moment:
    "He turned then, and at first I was not sure he could see me. I stretched out my hand, like a drowing person beseeching rescue. In that moment I had already committed treachery in my heart.
    "Was this a betrayal, or was it an act of courage? Perhaps both. Neither one involves forethought: such things take place in an instant, in an eyeblink. This can only be because they have been rehearsed by us already, over and over, in silence and darkness; in such silence and darkness, that we are ignorant of them ourselves. Blind but sure-footed, we step forward as if into a remembered dance."
    --Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin
