Notes from a Quoting Mind: On Language, Power, and Repetition
Homo Citans: The Quoting Man Against Originality Homo citans names the human as a quoting animal, a being who speaks by repeating, citing, echoing, and rearranging the words of others. Every sentence enters the world already inhabited: by traditions, concepts, metaphors, and rhythms that precede the speaker. To cite is therefore not an exception of scholarly life but its default condition. Researchers, writers, and thinkers are links in a chain, not origins; they validate knowledge by showing where it comes from, how it travelled, and whom it passed through. Citation is thus not merely a technical practice but an ethical acknowledgement of interdependence, a recognition that thought emerges collectively rather than individually.

Write Every Day
I am a writer. I haven’t published much, except on these platforms for writers on Medium, on Substack, Facebook, and on two other personal websites, Talking to Spirit, and on my author’s website, PaulineEvanosky.com, and now on VocalMedia. Five years ago, I was a wannabe writer. This year, I can say I am a writer. What exactly is different between those two points? Over 1,000 articles. Taken separately, I’d say okay, so what else? Added together like I just did, I’m wondering why I don’t have a book project going. Ah, that’s for another day.

Confusion
Things were black and white when I was a boy. Choices were binary with overtones of good and bad. In my comic, Dan Dare or the Treens? On film, cowboys or Indians? World War Two, English or German? In my illustrated history of England, Saxons or Vikings?

Close Encounters of the Human Kind
There is a protocol to be observed on my lakeside walk. It governs the early morning greeting. Once it is firmly established that you regularly walk, then you graduate from a nod of acknowledgement to eventually saying “Good morning”. After some weeks, you may add a comment on the weather, but that is generally the limit of conversation.

Close Encounters of the Human Kind
Early morning exercise over, resting on a park bench watching the sunrise change the light on the water. Thoughts tumbling through my mind, triggered by a bouquet, commemorating some ancestral anniversary, left by a brass plaque of dedication.
