quoting wiesel

I loaded up at the local library today.

I continue to be intent on reading books with a focus on social injustice. The book I've just started is "Night" by Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize winner (1986).

I'm only 13 pages into it, and already certain sentences, certain paragraphs, demand my attention and thoughts before I'm allowed to move on the next.

I am not sure if this quote from Wiesel is from this book. If so, I have not yet seen it in the first 13 pages. It does, however also demand my attention. And my action.

"The opposite of love is not hate; it's indifference."

rain changes things

Tonight... sounds of rain, dogs curled up with each other in the kitchen, comfort food on the stove and the gift of its aroma, and the company of one terrific husband.

The rain kept me from cycling, but what a lovely alternative this was.

Sometimes rain changes things in really nice ways.

could someone tell me?

Could someone tell me why most of the comments to my blogs are in another language, and, according to the Google translator, are random quotes that aren't applicable to what I've blogged? :/
