From things that have happened and from things as they exist and from all things that you know and all those you cannot know, you make something through your invention that is not a representation but a whole new thing truer than anything true and alive, and you make it alive, and if you make it well enough, you give it immortality. That is whty you write and for no other reason that you know of. But what about all the reasons that no one knows?   Just wanted to share, Gail   Back to Top   Daughter New Member Joined: 22 August 2005 Online Status: Offline Posts: 17 Posted: 23 April 2009 at 9:07pm | IP Logged OMG...........it's been awhile since I last posted:) Back to Top   docnme Leader Joined: 12 August 2005 Location: United States Online Status: Offline Posts: 127 Posted: 29 April 2009 at 10:02pm | IP Logged Gail, 1958, hummm..    What does that quotation mean to you?  Wonder??  docnme __________________ docnme Back to Top   docnme Leader Joined: 12 August 2005 Location: United States Online Status: Offline Posts: 127 Posted: 04 May 2010 at 11:08pm | IP Logged    A librarian told me there was a Hemingway documentary/or other on PBS (ch 28) on Wed.
