    what?


    “Listen to many, speak to a few.”

    "Amazing how grimly we hold on to our misery, the energy we burn fueling our anger. Amazing how one moment, we can be snarling like a beast, then a few moments later, forgetting what or why. Not hours of this, or days, or months, or years of this... But decades. Lifetimes completely used up, given over to the pettiest rancor and hatred. Finally, there is nothing here for death to take away."- CB

    translation

    caveat emptor...let the buyer beware impramatur...it is permitted and nihil obstat...nothing objectionable The last two latin expressions must be near the title page of any book approved by the Vatican for catholics. Hence my least fav. status. quasimodo1

    A favorite quote



    from the eminently quotable Dorothy Parker:
    "You can lead a horticulture but you can't
    make her think."

    fav quote

    my favorite quote was spoken by one of the most famous murderers of all times!
    "Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
    that struts and frets his hour upon the stage
    and then is heard no more; It is a tale
    told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
    signifying nothing" (Macbeth)
