New house!!!

I've officially been approved for a lease for a new apartment! It's 3 floors above a store-front down in the Italian Market. The place is huge, is a block from Sabrina's (a great brunch joint), and will likely be cheaper to heat than my current 1-bedroom apartment (the record bill: $300+). Anywho, now that the apartment search is over I have time for some other things (hopefully like updating this blog more often).

Also, the trip to Utah in August is all planned now. I just need to find Guy a temporary walker, and then we're set. I can't wait to get out to Southern Utah with a camera. I just wish I could bring a bike...

Oh, and a prize for whoever finds me the original source for this quote:

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall -- think of it, always."

– Mahatma Gandhi

I like the quote, I just don't want to use it unless I can prove Gandhi actually said it. I know some of you are library wizzes, so get crackin'.

Jay, those are not original sources. Those are webpages that report the quote with no reference. I want to know where those webpages got the quote.

fine.

acording to wikipedia, it's from his autobiography:

The concept of nonviolence (ahimsa) and nonresistance has a long history in Indian religious thought and has had many revivals in Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, Jewish and Christian contexts. Gandhi explains his philosophy and way of life in his autobiography The Story of My Experiments with Truth. He was quoted as saying:

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall — think of it, always."
