Day 59: "Readers usually ignore the typographic interface, gliding comfortably along literacy’s habitual groove. Sometimes, however, the interface should be allowed to fail. By making itself evident, typography can illuminate the construction and identity of a page, screen, place, or product." - Ellen Lupton #alexaphotoaday February 28, 2014 at 01:22PM

Day 57: "I see that the path of progress has never taken a straight line, but has always been a zigzag course amid the conflicting forces of right and wrong, truth and error, justice and injustice, cruelty and mercy." - Kelly Miller #alexaphotoaday February 26, 2014 at 06:30PM

Day 55: "You'll not sit at the dining table and expect the food to jump into your mouth. If you're hungry, pick a spoon and start eating." - Michael Bassey Johnson #alexaphotoaday February 24, 2014 at 08:09PM

Day 54: "Distance changes utterly when you take the world on foot. A mile becomes a long way, two miles literally considerable, ten miles whopping, fifty miles at the very limits of conception. The world, you realize, is enormous in a way that only you and a small community of fellow hikers know. Planetary scale is your little secret. Life takes on a neat simplicity, too. Time ceases to have any meaning. When it is dark, you go to bed, and when it is light again you get up, and everything in between is just in between. It’s quite wonderful, really. There is no point in hurrying because you are not actually going anywhere. However far or long you plod, you are always in the same place: in the woods. It’s where you were yesterday, where you will be tomorrow. The woods is one boundless singularity. Every bend in the path presents a prospect indistinguishable from every other, every glimpse into the trees the same tangled mass. For all you know, your route could describe a very large, pointless circle. In a way, it would hardly matter." - Bill Bryson #alexaphotoaday February 23, 2014 at 08:29PM

Day 53: "There is, in every event, whether lived or told, always a hole or a gap, often more than one. If we allow ourselves to get caught in it, we find it opening onto a void that, once we have slipped into it, we can never escape." - Brian Evenson #alexaphotoaday February 22, 2014 at 11:05PM

Day 50: "Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul." - Samuel Ullman #alexaphotoaday February 19, 2014 at 10:26PM

Day 49: “Sometimes you get a glimpse of a semicolon coming, a few lines farther on, and it is like climbing a steep path through woods and seeing a wooden bench just at a bend in the road ahead, a place where you can expect to sit for a moment, catching your breath.” - Lewis Thomas #alexaphotoaday February 19, 2014 at 12:14AM

Day 47: "Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else." - Theodore Roosevelt #alexaphotoaday February 16, 2014 at 04:02PM

Day 46: Prayer for Offering of Life to the Lord Heavenly Father, You have granted us the gift of being Your children. You have given us Your son to save us from our sins. Because of that, Father, I offer my life to you. I will live in sacrifice to do what is pleasing to You. I offer you all my hard work and my sacrifices. I do all things to glorify Your most holy name, Lord. I cast all my worries about you and I believe that everything will be in place for I have You as my Father, dear God. Grant me the strength to hold on to You not only during the times of weakness but through whatever. Thank You, Father, for being so generous to us. I give You my life and I will dedicate every service I do to You. I ask this in Jesus' name, I pray. Amen. #alexaphotoaday February 15, 2014 at 02:46PM

Day 45: "In this age of omniconnectedness, words like 'network,' 'community' and even 'friends' no longer mean what they used to. Networks don't exist on LinkedIn. A community is not something that happens on a blog or on Twitter. And a friend is more than someone whose online status you check." - Simon Sinek #alexaphotoaday February 14, 2014 at 11:12PM

Day 39: "At last--I finished my keep-out house, A house that’s meant for privacy, A house that’s meant for peacefulness, A house just meant for only me.

Day 38: “Let your actions always speak for you, but be forever on guard against the terrible traps of false pride and conceit that can halt your progress.

Day 37: "Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does." - Margaret Atwood #alexaphotoaday February 07, 2014 at 12:06AM

Are you noisy with quiet times? Or are you quiet with noisy times? Are you happy with some sad days? Or are you sad with some happy days? Are you neat with some sloppy ways?
