I needed to lighten my mood. This was a great help. Thanks!
Those were great. Thanks for the post. :D
I have an iPad application that does famous quotes.
I particularly enjoyed the James Thurber quote about 60, and the Mark Twain one about the lightning and the lightning bug. I've copied them, to give me a smile when I'm struggling with writing, which, these days, seems to be a full-time job.
