"It is their shame, not yours."

"Never be afraid to make some noise. It is their shame, not yours."
@kbarton1001 On my first big overseas client conference, I was at a dinner seated next to a drunk client who kept trying to fondle me under the table. I was young, distressed, and had no idea what to do. I moved my legs as far away from him as I could, moving into the space of the man next to me, who then started patting my legs! The Regional Manager was a French woman who caught my eye, gestured for me to go to the bathroom and when I came back had switched chairs with me. What happed next was epic. A few minutes after I sat back down, she raised her hand with his hand captured in hers and announced loudly "Does anyone know whose hand this is? I found it in my lap." There was dead silence at the table. She threw his hand back at him and said calmly "next time I pick it up with my fork." Then she started a new conversational thread and things moved on. After the meeting she found me, gave me a hug, and said seriously "Never be afraid to make some noise. It is their shame, not yours."

Commonplace books were never meant to be tidy. Keep the line, date it, say one thing about it. The journal is what accumulates.

Some margin notes are only for you. Private ink seals your private notes on your own device before they leave it.

The mystery of medical diagnosis!
Anyone: Why are there suddenly so many AHDH diagnoses? Dr. Jen: Same reason there are suddenly more stars after we built telescopes.

Each day your book hands back a few passages you kept long ago. Write beside one and that note becomes today's journal entry.

A journal you keep for life has to be able to leave with you. Your Locus Communis journal can be exported whenever you like; the notes and passages are yours.

The real secret to the "Mediterranean diet" is eating equal qualities of pasta and antipasto so that they annihilate one another

A margin note doesn't have to be clever. "Read this on the train" is enough. A year on, the journal page still holds the line and what you thought of it that day.

Every note you write in the margin of a passage lands in your journal, on the page for the day you wrote it. Read for a year and you've kept a diary of your reading without sitting down to write one.
