Less Ordinary

"I blame myself for not often enough seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary. Somewhere in his journals, Dostoevsky remarks that a writer can begin anywhere, at the most commonplace thing, scratch around in it long enough, and lo! Soon he will hit upon the marvelous." -Saul Bellow (another gem from Prof. Hudson's class).
