Folks, I’m telling you,
birthing is hard
and dying is mean—
so get yourself a little loving
in between.
~Langston Hughes (1902–1967)

Body/Soul ~ Henry David Thoreau
Good for the body is the work of the body, and good for the soul is the work of the soul, and good for either is the work of the other.
~Henry David Thoreau
Great Books
Great books help you understand, and they help you feel understood.
~John Green
Dresses ~ William Allen Benson #2
But I do mean to say, I have heard her declare,
When at the same moment she had on a dress
Which cost five hundred dollars, and not a cent less,
And jewelry worth tem times more, I should guess,
That he had not a thing in the wide world to wear!
~William Allen Butler, “Nothing to Wear”
Dresses ~ William Allen Butler
Dresses for breakfasts, and dinners, and balls;
Dresses to sit in, and stand in, and walk in;
Dresses to dance in, and flirt in, and talk in;
Dresses in which to do nothing at all;
Dresses for Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall.
~William Allen Butler, “Nothing to Wear”
Swimsuits
I simply can’t understand
Why swimsuits are in such demand
They’re soggy and damp,
Bind like a clamp,
And hold about three pounds of sand!
~D.R. Benson
Neckties
I have a hankering to go back to the Orient and discard my necktie. Neckties strangle clear thinking.
~Lin Yutang
