Do you like Kipling?
“I don’t know – I’ve never kippled!” was my Dad’s answer.
In fact, he was a big fan of Rudyard Kipling, the author of Just So Stories, Kim, and The Jungle Book, and other works including poetry.
This week’s assignment is to use one of these quotes from Kipling to inspire a piece of writing:
You must learn to forgive a man when he’s in love. He’s always a nuisance.
I never made a mistake in my life; at least, never one that I couldn’t explain away afterwards.
We’re all islands shouting lies to each other across seas of misunderstanding.
A woman’s guess is much more accurate than a man’s certainty.
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
Of all the liars in the world, sometimes the worst are our own fears.
I am the Cat who walks by himself, and all places are alike to me.
A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition.
I am, by calling, a dealer in words; and words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.
No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
Our next meeting is CHRISTMAS-THEMED, on 20 Dec 2022.
