Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of
our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome,
charitable views of men and things can not be acquired by vegetating in
one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.
Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad
A commonplace book: an old-fashioned literary diary for recording interesting items from reading you've done. I use mine to record snippets from reading, conversation and life in general. (The early 2003 entries are from a period some years ago -- before the blog age -- when I tried an online commonplace book as a straight web page.)
