And I Quote.....

Time for a quote day. These four seem to fit the bill today. I'm not sure why, but they just look good on the unprinted page....

What better place to start than the always quotable Mark Twain.

"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first."

For some reason the next quote from Calvin and Hobbes creator Bill Watterson seems to speak to the same situation. Only with a different angle:

"People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children."

Entertainer and comedian Emo Phillips goes right to the source of all these problems identified by the quotes above:

"I used to think that the brain was the most wonderful organ in my body. Then I realized who was telling me this."

And finally, a quote from an unnamed New York City detective who gives but one more example of how we are so willing to fool ourselves into doing, thinking, believing, and just plain being blind:

"I've gone into hundreds of [fortune-teller's parlors], and have been told thousands of things, but nobody ever told me I was a policewoman getting ready to arrest her."
