I think that I shall never see
a billboard lovely as a tree.
Perhaps, unless the billboards fall,
I'll never see a tree at all.
Ogden Nash (1902 - 1971)
Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Romania.
Dorothy Parker (1893 - 1967),
Not So Deep as a Well (1937), "Comment"
I know that there are people who do not love their fellow man, and I hate people like that!
Tom Lehrer (1928 - )
I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I've ever known.
Walt Disney (1901 - 1966)
Misery no longer loves company. Nowadays it insists on it.
Russell Baker (1925 - )
It is better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all.
Samuel Butler (1835 - 1902),
The Way of All Flesh, Chapter 77
Our national flower is the concrete cloverleaf.
Lewis Mumford (1895 - 1990)
When love is gone, there's always justice.
And when justice is gone, there's always force.
And when force is gone, there's always Mom.
Hi, Mom!
Laurie Anderson
I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001)

I LOVE QUOTES.
your own words are the bricks and mortar of the dreams you want to realize. Your words are the greatest power you have. The words you choose and use establish the life you experience.-sonia croquette
in the long run we get no more than we have been willing to risk giving-sheldon kopp
courage is like love it must have hope for nourishment-napoleon
In the beginners mind there are many possibilites, but in teh experts mind there are few-shunryu suzuki
the more you know the less you understand-tao te ching
imaginationis intelligence havingfun-anonymous
fear grows out of the things we think; it lives in our minds. Compassion grows out of the things we are, and livesin our hearts.-barbara garrison
kindness is more important than wisdom and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom.-theodore isaac rubin
kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless-mother teresa
the mighty oak was once a little nut that stood its ground-unknown
if i can stop one heart from breaking, i shall not live in vain-emily dickinson
it is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without acception it-aristotle
those who believe they can do something are probably right-and so are those who believe they can't-unknown
"Laugh and the world laughs with you
Cry and you cry alone
For the sad old Earth must borrow its mirth
But has trouble enough of its own"
"And the moral of that is, 'Be what you would seem to be.' Or, if you'd like it put more simply, 'Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.'" --The Duchess, Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll
"I never gave Man a guarantee of perfection, only the chance of it. That was the whole point of it all. Man has the choice and the chance but never the coercion. I have left his freedom to choose inviolate. If I reached down and touched him on the forehead and made him perfect, what would life on earth be like? No sadness, so no joy. No tears, no smiles. No pain, no relief. No bondage, no freedom. No failure, no triumph. No rudeness, no courtesy. No bigotry, no tolerance. No despair, no exultation. No sin and certainly no redemption. I would simply create a featureless bliss here on earth, which would make my heavenly kingdom somewhat redundant. And that is not the point of it all. So, Man must have his choice, until I call him home." -- God in The Phantom of Manhattan
"At night, my mind does not care
If what it thinks is here or there.
It tells me stories it invents
And makes up things that don't make sense.
I don't know why it does this stuff.
The real world seems quite weird enough." -- Bill Watterson, The Indispensable Calvin & Hobbes
"Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist.
Children already know that dragons exist.
Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed." -- G. K. Chesterton
"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope and that enables you to laugh at life's realities." ---- Theodore Geisel/Dr. Seuss
Dean Koontz (in Seize the Night) wrote: The past and present are contained in the future, and the future is contained in the past, as T.S. Eliot wrote; therefore, all time is unredeemable, and what will be will be. What might have been - that's an illusion, because the only thing that could have happened is what does happen, and there's not anything we can do to change it, because we're doomed by destiny, f---ed by fate, though Mr. Eliot hadn't put it in exactly those words. On the other hand, Winnie-the-Pooh, much less of a broody type than Mr. Eliot, believed in the possibility of all things, which might be because he was only a stuffed bear with a head full of nothing, but it also might be the case that Mr. Pooh was, in fact, a Zen master who knew as much about the meaning of life as Mr. Eliot.
The most merciful thing in the world ... is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents."
-- H. P. Lovecraft
"If you can keep your head while all those about you are losing their's, then perhaps you have misunderstood the situation." -- Graffiti on the side of the Flushing Street Temple of Eris in New York
"The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them--words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for a want of an understanding ear." -- Stephen King, "The Body"
Einstein - I would rather be thought an optimist and a fool, than a pessimist and right.

Love at First Sight
Where both deliberate, the love is slight:
Who ever lov'd, that lov'd not at first sight?
Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593), English dramatist, poet. Hero and Leander, "First Sestiad."
Love, Ended
Falling out of love is chiefly a matter of forgetting how charming someone is.
Iris Murdoch (b. 1919), British novelist, philosopher. Anderson Palmer, in A Severed Head, ch. 24 (1961).
Love, First
We love but once, for once only are we perfectly equipped for loving.
Cyril Connolly (1903-74), British critic. The Unquiet Grave, pt. 1 (1944; rev. 1951).
Jealousy
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
Hebrew Bible. Song of Solomon 8:6.
Love
Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.
Peter Ustinov (b. 1921), British actor, writer, director. Christian Science Monitor (Boston, 9 Dec. 1958).
Life, Lust for
Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them.
Paul Gauguin (1848-1903), French artist. Intimate Journals (tr. by Van Wyck Brooks, 1923; 1930 ed., p. 194).
Life and Death
'Tis all a Chequer-board of Nights and Days
Where Destiny with Men for Pieces plays:
Hither and thither moves, and mates and slays,
And one by one back in the Closet lays.
Omar Khayyám (11-12th century), Persian astronomer, poet. The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, st. 49 (tr. by Edward FitzGerald, 1859).
Living Together
I cannot live with You-
It would be Life-
And Life is over there-
Behind the Shelf.
Emily Dickinson (1830-86), U.S. poet. The Complete Poems, no. 640 (1955).
Sex
Sex is like money; only too much is enough.
John Updike (b. 1932), U.S. author, critic. Piet Hanema, in Couples, ch. 5 (1968).
Sex
Painting and ******* a lot are not compatible; it weakens the brain.
Vincent Van Gogh (1853-90), Dutch painter. Letter, June 1888 (published in The Complete Letters of Vincent Van Gogh, vol. 3, no. B7, 1958).

Love is like a friendship on fire
Don't ever frown because you never know who might be in love with your smile
Who do you turn to when the only person who can stop your crying is the one who made you cry?

life: ***"don't pee in the wind."***
"live, laugh, love, repeat."
"friends are the family you choose."
"it's nice to be important but more important to be nice."
"expect the worst, but hope for the best."
-------------------------------------------------------
love: "you might not be his first, last, or only. he's loved before, he might love again. but if he loves you now, what else matters? he's not perfect, but you aren't either. but if he can make you laugh, admits to being human & making mistakes, hold on to him & give him the most you can. he isn't going to quote poetry & might not be thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you can break. don't hurt him, don't change him, don't expect more than he can give. smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he's not there."
