"Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet." ~Roger Miller

“The world is not respectable;
it is mortal,
tormented,
confused,
deluded forever;
but it is shot through with beauty,
with love,
with glints of courage and laughter;
and in these,
the spirit blooms timidly,
and struggles to the light amid the thorns.”

~George Santayana

"A hunter of shadows, himself a shade." ~Homer

"I have figured for you the distance between the horns of a dilemma,
night and day,
and A and Z.
I have computed how far is Up,
how long it takes to get Away,
and what becomes of Gone.
I have discovered the length of the sea serpent,
the price of priceless,
and the square of the hippopotamus.
I know where you are when you are at Sixes and Sevens,
how much Is you have to have to make an Are,
and how many birds you can catch with the salt in the ocean - 187,796,132,
if it would interest you."

~James Thurber
