Since I missed a couple of days, I'll make up for it with a mess of quotes from Harold and Maude on Ruth Gordon's birthday. Enjoy.

A lot of people enjoy being dead. But they are not dead, really. They're just backing away from life. *Reach* out. Take a *chance*. Get *hurt* even. But play as well as you can. Go team, go! Give me an L. Give me an I. Give me a V. Give me an E. L-I-V-E. LIVE! Otherwise, you got nothing to talk about in the locker room.

I should like to change into a sunflower most of all. They're so tall and simple.

Dreyfus once wrote from Devil's Island that he would see the most glorious birds. Many years later in Brittany he realized they had only been seagulls... For me they will always be - *glorious* birds.

Vice, Virtue. It's best not to be too moral. You cheat yourself out of too much *life*. Aim above morality. If you apply that to life, then you're bound to live life fully.

Harold, *everyone* has the right to make an ass out of themselves. You just can't let the world judge you too much.

Well, if some people get upset because they feel they have a hold on some things, I'm merely acting as a gentle reminder: here today, gone tomorrow, so don't get attached to things.

*Don't* get officious. You're not yourself when you're officious - That is the curse of a government job.

The earth is my body; my head is in the stars.

You know, at one time, I used to break into pet shops to liberate the canaries. But I decided that was an idea way before its time. Zoos are full, prisons are overflowing... oh my, how the world still dearly loves a cage.

That's *wonderful*. Go and love some more.

Oliver Goldsmith, born 10 November, 1728, and again on the same date in 1730.

"Every absurdity has a champion to defend it."

"Let schoolmasters puzzle their brain,
With grammar, and nonsense, and learning,
Good liquor, I stoutly maintain,
Gives genius a better discerning"

Holy freakin' wow. I've been saving up an Oliver Goldsmith quote for several weeks, and Grey Wolf was obviously on the same wavelength. Oh well, no sense wasting a perfectly good quote:

“Sweet Auburn! loveliest village of the plain,...where crouching tigers wait their hapless prey..."

It is from this poem by Goldsmith called The Deserted Village that my home of Auburn gets its name, and my alma mater gets its mascot.

/high five to Grey Wolf
