Oh, shame on me! You're right, I got a little O-T, so back to actual quotes. Dorothy Parker remains one of my favorites, so in honor of her remarkable wit I include the following:
•I might repeat to myself slowly and soothingly, a list of quotations beautiful from minds profound - if [only] I can remember any of the **** things.
•I don't care what is written about me so long as it isn't true.
•If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.
•This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.
•She runs the gamut of emotions from A to B.

Next episode ... W C Fields!

My absolute favorites ...

- Tomorrow there can't be a crisis, my agenda is already full.

- There is only one thing worse than being talked about and that is not being talked about.

- There are 2 types of people ... those who have reliable backups and those who will.

and most important ..... Carpe Diem.

Cheers
