Still on my user picture updating quest...

Need help. Does anybody have any quotes that'd go well with this icon?

Edit: I suppose there's "Where are our castles now, where are our towers?", which is appropriate enough given the decrepit state of that poor building.

"A very very very fine house"?

It looks nice in the picture, but I guess that's deceiving.

No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids ar supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.

I knew it was, but I just love that quote so much, and I thought of it right away... not that I'm morbid or anything.

I prefer:

"It's the tower for you!"

Your icon rocks!! In TOronto we have Casa Loma and the Thousand Islands have Boldt Casle. I could kick myself for not getting out of the boat and looking at it while we were there!! Apparantly there's a casle in Hamilton too, which I've never seen.
