pingling Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Recently I purchased a book "Eric Meyer on CSS" and to my astonishment I found the 1st verse of "Entre Nous" as a motto for the 4th chapter: QUOTE We are strangers to each other Each one's life a novel no one else has read Even joined in bonds of love We're linked to one another by such slender threads... - Neil Peart Strangely, the first line is taken from the 3rd verse - probably the author mixed them up as they differ in one word only: QUOTE 1st We are secrets to each other Each one's life a novel No-one else has read Even joined in bonds of love We're linked to one another By such slender threads (...) 3rd We are strangers to each other Do you know any other quotation from Rush song used as motto in a book?

physics23 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I've used passages from Peart's lyrics as epigraphs in my own academic papers. In a recent essay on the motif of characters walking through crowded streets in James Joyce's Dubliners, for example, I borrowed the line "The focus is sharp in the city" from "The Camera Eye."

RushGuru Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 When I wrote stories back in school I liked to use the line "The air is [or was] thick and still". Thanks Neil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
