Enough of my writing. Now I will engage you with other brainy quotes. I posted some that I like, hope you enjoy them also.


“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating...

...and you finish off as an orgasm.”


-George Carlin.


“There is often less danger in the things we fear than in the things we desire.”


-John C. Collins


“How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.”


-Oscar Wilde


“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”


-Ralph Waldo Emerson


“No matter how calmly you try to referee, parenting will eventually produce bizarre behavior, and I'm not talking about the kids. Their behavior is always normal.”


-Bill Cosby


I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken -- and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.


-Margaret Mitchell


“If the essence of my being has caused a smile to have appeared upon your face or a touch of joy within your heart.Then in living - I have made my mark.”


-Thomas L. Odem Jr.


“Time has a way of demonstrating that the most stubborn are the most intelligent”


-Yevgeny Yevtushenko


“Anyone who has a continuous smile on his face conceals a toughness that is almost frightening.”


-Greta Garbo


Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.


-John Lennon


Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; hate less, love more; and all good things are yours.


-Swedish Proverb


You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.


-Leo Aikman


The vow that binds too strictly snaps itself.


-Alfred Lord Tennyson


“Still, I know of no higher fortitude than stubbornness in the face of overwhelming odds”


-Louis Nizer


“You write to communicate to the hearts and minds of others what's burning inside you. And we edit to let the fire show through the smoke.”


Arthur Polotnik



Interesting quotes. The last one brings up an interesting topic for myself. As I get older I find myself grossly needing independence, lacking the ability to effectively communicate, shying away from any unneeded confrontation, and guarding my unaccomplished hopes and dreams in the most stubborn way imaginable. I think this is part of growing up. I don't really know, since I have never grow-up before. Growing, evolving, and always adapting.
