"Timeless"
As she sat on the beach, watching the sunset with her grandfather, summer asked, "Grandpa, what's the secret to a happy marriage?"
Her grandfather smiled, his eyes twinkling. "It's simple, summer . Love is a choice, not a feeling. Your grandmother and I chose to love each other every day, even when it was hard."
Summer looked puzzled. "But how did you do it?"
Her grandfather's eyes softened. "We focused on the little things. The way she smiled when she drank coffee, the way I felt when she held my hand. We chose to see the beauty in each other, even when the world outside was chaotic."
As the sun dipped below the horizon, summer felt a sense of wonder. She realized that true love wasn't a fairy tale, but a choice to see the beauty in someone, every day.
Her grandfather squeezed her hand. "Remember, summer , love is timeless. It's the one thing that remains constant, even when everything else changes."

Notes from a Quoting Mind: On Language, Power, and Repetition
Homo Citans: The Quoting Man Against Originality Homo citans names the human as a quoting animal, a being who speaks by repeating, citing, echoing, and rearranging the words of others. Every sentence enters the world already inhabited: by traditions, concepts, metaphors, and rhythms that precede the speaker. To cite is therefore not an exception of scholarly life but its default condition. Researchers, writers, and thinkers are links in a chain, not origins; they validate knowledge by showing where it comes from, how it travelled, and whom it passed through. Citation is thus not merely a technical practice but an ethical acknowledgement of interdependence, a recognition that thought emerges collectively rather than individually.
