Lewis Carroll (1832 - 1898), Alice in Wonderland

Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
 
Alfred North Whitehead (1861 - 1947)

If a dog jumps in your lap, it is because he is fond of you; but if a cat does the same thing, it is because your lap is warmer.
 
Abigail Van Buren

Wisdom doesn't automatically come with old age. Nothing does - except wrinkles. It's true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place.
 
Dave Barry

I can win an argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know this, and steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect, they don't even invite me.
 
Wouldn't it be great, if no one ever got offended
Wouldn't it be great to say what's really on your mind
I have always said 'all the rules are made for bending'
And if I let my hair down, would that be such a crime?

I could really use, to lose my Catholic conscience
Cuz I'm getting sick of feeling guilty all the time
I won't abuse it, Yeah I've got the best intentions
For a little bit of anarchy but not the hurting kind

I couldn't sleep at all last night
cause I had so much on my mind
I'd like to leave it all behind,
but you know it's not that easy

Wouldn't it be great, if the band just never ended
We could stay out late and we would never hear last call
We wouldn't need to worry about approval or permission,
we could - slip off the edge and never worry about the fall

I wanna be consequence free
I wanna be where nothing needs to matter
I wanna be consequence free
just sing Na Na Na Na Na Ne Na Na Na

I'd rather have one breath of her hair, one kiss of her mouth, one touch of her hand than an eternity without it. One.
 
Simone Signoret

Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years. That is what makes a marriage last --more than passion or even sex!
 
Maya Angelou

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.
 
Francis Jeffrey

Opinions founded on prejudice are always sustained with the greatest of violence.
 
There are four basic food groups, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, and chocolate truffles. -Anon.
 
I’ve been married a long time...and I’m just starting to scratch the surface of what women really want. I don’t know, but the answer probably lies somewhere between chocolate and conversation. ~ Mel Gibson
 
Lucy in Peanuts

All I really need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt! :)
