Judy at Edwina’s Episodes asked if I’d like to do a three day quote challenge. Yes, Judy, I’d love to. I’m not playing ball completely. I won’t post the ‘rules’, because I’m subversive like that. And I’m not really as confident as Judy in fingering others in case I upset them; she knows me well enough to know I’m unupsettable. Unless you diss the cricket. Then I’m not nice to know.
So here you go. Day one

About TanGental
My name is Geoff Le Pard. Once I was a lawyer; now I am a writer. I've published several books: a four book series following Harry Spittle as he grows from hapless student to hapless partner in a London law firm; four others in different genres; a book of poetry; four anthologies of short fiction; and a memoir of my mother. I have several more in the pipeline.
I have been blogging regularly since 2014, on topic as diverse as: poetry based on famous poems; memories from my life; my garden; my dog; a whole variety of short fiction; my attempts at baking and food; travel and the consequent disasters; theatre, film and book reviews; and the occasional thought piece. Mostly it is whatever takes my fancy.
I avoid politics, mostly, and religion, always. I don't mean to upset anyone but if I do, well, sorry and I suggest you go elsewhere.
These are my thoughts and no one else is to blame. If you want to nab anything I post, please acknowledge where it came from.

Great quote, although I admit to having missed Nirvana’s “smiling gnome” period 🙂

That man had many a good quote. My personal fave I would rather like to get inked, is “I’d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I’m not.”
Amen brother, may you rest in peace ❤

That is a great quote! I love it, thanks Geoff, I never knew he said that. Is it a song lyric?

Yes I think so. A friend is writing a book just now where Kurts death plays a pivotal part and she dots it liberally with his quotes. I got it from beta reading for her…
