The inscription

Its just an inscription why is it SO hard. Determining an inscription is so unnecessarily hard, especially since it's a gift to myself. I don't have a favorite scriptural passage or verse and when it comes to quotes I'm all over the board. There are a few quotes I especially love, like David James Duncan's  The Brothers K quotes: “And like many a Christian before them, they completely forgot that the only sword-shaped weapon Jesus ever actually used was the one He died on.”  Or  “To defy the God of Progress is often to marry the Goddess of Poverty.” But the simple fact is I can't do a quote, there just isn't the space.  No matter how much I love the quotes from The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, “You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices," "What a slut time is. She screws everybody," and "Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.” They simply aren't quite right to inscribe on the back of a piece of innovative modern technology. I would love to put Hesiod's quote: "only Hope was left within her unbreakable house,/ she remained under the lip of the jar, and did not fly away." Alas, it is to long. Instead I've decided to do a bastardization of Caecus's quote "every man is the architect of his own fortune."

The Back of my brand new silver Ipad2 will say "Mulier omnis faber est suae quisque fortunae" (If I used the wrong case or put things in the wrong order don't tell me. I'm self taught when it comes to Latin and in this instance I don't want to think of myself as the idiot who got a tattoo and miss spelled it)
