the thin line between optimism and delusion…

I need a place where I can put quotes I like.  I’m going to start here.  These are going to be very random, stolen from other places, like people’s facebooks or blogs.  So I apologize if I stole from you. 

“I like dogs. You always know what a dog is thinking. It has four moods. Happy, sad, cross and concentrating. Also, dogs are faithful and they do not tell lies because they cannot talk.”
– The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Toby: “Actually, I didn’t think it was appropriate to invite children, since it’s uh, you know, there’s gambling and alcohol, and it’s in our dangerous warehouse, and it’s a school night, and you know, Hooters is catering, and is that enough, is that enough, should I keep going …”
Michael: “Why are you the way that you are?”

“One time she punched me in the face…it was AWESOME!”
~”Mean Girls”

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved…who never yawn and say a commonplace thing but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.” Jack Kerouac

Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t. — Margaret Thatcher

“The trial transcript quotes Ms. Hayden as saying Murphy called her a snitch bitch “hoe.” A “hoe,” of course, is a tool used for weeding and gardening. We think the court reporter, unfamiliar with rap music (perhaps thankfully so), misunderstood Hayden’s response. We have taken the liberty of changing “hoe” to “ho,” a staple of rap music vernacular as, for example, when Ludacris raps “You doin’ ho activities with ho tendencies.”– Terence T. Evans, Seventh Circuit Judge

“I like to think of Jesus with giant eagle’s wings and singing lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with like an angel band and I’m in the front row and I’m hammered drunk.”
-Cal Noughton, Jr.

“When two people, lovers, or sometimes friends, have an enduring care for each other, allow each other to be human, faulted, flawed, but real, then being human becomes a glorious thing to be.  If the human race ever makes progress, that is how.”  – Madeline L’Engle.
