Halloween week continues here until Saturday. There are so many photos and stories up my sleeve but so little time, so I'd thought I'd give you a double whammy today.

Quote de jour #1

"One need not be a chamber to be haunted
 One need not be a house
 The brain has corridors surpassing
 Material place."
                                           ~ Emily Dickinson
The imagination is always scarier. I had fun doing this self-portrait double exposure with a spider I photographed this past summer. What's more horrifying? I celebrated my seventh wedding anniversary this week. Eeeek! Where does the time go? The answer lies below or does it?

Quote de jour #2
                           
"It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time."
                                                                                                                                      ~ Simone de Beauvoir
Sartre and de Beauvoir: life long friends, lovers and soul mates refused to live together but their ashes lay side by side forever in the Montparnasse cemetery in Paris.

Quote de jour #3

"One always dies too soon-- or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are your life- and nothing else."
                                                                                                                                        ~Jean-Paul Sartre
