These, I'm afraid to say, are of the happy, soppy, gushy kind that give warm fuzzies, some, are just amusing. Yay for the go-and-get ones! (and the Deal With It Ones Too), I have a book, a little one. Filled with my favourite quotes. Now, the binding is coming off and its been stuffed with extra bits of paper, and the first couple of pages are unreadable, and a few to the back are stained with milo, but, it still holds more of my mind, then anything else. Enjoy.

He had come a long way to this blue lawn and his dream must have seemed so close that he could barely fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night. Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us.

322) Public lives are lived out on the job and in the marketplace, where certain rules, conventions, laws, and social customs keep most of us in line.

327) I'm not a cowboy now--don't pretend to be, but I am most at ease in that raw country and feel most comfortable in my own skin when I'm surrounded by that rough enviornment. It's where I go when I get confused. It's enough just to be for a while in a place where all I can hear is the wind blowing, and all I can see is a long way off in the distance on the earth around me in the daytime and a long way off in distance in the night sky above me. It is there and then I know I am not lost."-Robert Fulghum, Maybe, Maybe Not

357) "...follow the example of Beth Graham, the envy of all the girls in my summer camp. It seemed every guy at camp wanted to be Beth's boyfriend. None of the girls could figure it out. Beth wasn't exactly the supermodel type: She had braces and a prominent nose, a flat chest and big thighs. It took me an entire summer of watching Beth closely to figure out why all the guys liked her so much: She had incredible self-confidence. She didn't seem the least bit insecure about her decidedly average looks. In fact, she seemed proud. Because she was so comfortable with herself, others felt comfortable around her...So instead of beating yourself up because your hips and thighs are full, try not to focus too much on the way you look. If Beth Graham...could do it, so can you."-Debra Kent

Every once in a while the fundamental laws of the universe seem to be momentarily suspended, and not only does everything go right, nothing seems to be able to keep it from going right.

Ever come out after work to find your lights have been on all day and your battery's dead but you're parked on a hill and you let your old hoopy roll and it fires the first time you pop the clutch and off you roar with a high heart? Ever pull out that drawer in your desk that has a ten-year accumulation of junk in it--pull it too far and too fast--and just as it's about to vomit its contents all over the room you get a knee under it and stagger back hopping on one foot doing a balancing act like the Great Zucchini and you don't lose it? A near-miss at an intersection; the glass of knocked-over milk that waltzes across the table but doesn't spill; the deposit that beat your rubber check to the bank because there was a holiday you forgot about; the lump in your breast that turned out to be benign; the heart attack that turned out to be gas; picking the right lane for once in a traffic jam; opening the door of your car with a coat hanger through the wing window on the first try.
