Your Quotes for 26 September 2005 - Error

If you need to identify error, the fastest way is to share your thoughts with your friends. I didn't count the number of readers who wrote yesterday to point out that Christopher Reeve's heroic struggle is over, but it was certainly dozens. Reeve died on 10 October 2004 of heart failure related to complications from his paralysis. A handful also pointed out that the S was on his chest, never in his name. An error of such proportion clearly answers the question of whether or not anyone is reading the Quotes of the Day! The database has quite a few entries on the subject of Error, it may have been another error of mine not to share more of them sooner.

To err is human, to forgive divine.
