Japanese Proverb


Don't stay long when the husband is not at home.

Tom Robbins, _Skinny Legs and All_, 1990, p. 305.


...to emphasize the afterlife is to deny life. To concentrate on Heaven is to create hell. In their desperate longing to transcend the disorderliness, friction, and unpredictability that pesters life; in their desire for a fresh start in a tidy habitat, germ-free and secured by angels, religious multitudes are gambling the only life they may ever have on a dark horse in a race that has no finish line."

It's spring once again, the streets are paved with mud and the hills are alive with the sound of mosquitos.

E.C. Stedman


Poetry is an art, and chief of the fine arts; the easiest to dabble in, the hardest to reach true perfection.

William Reece Smith Jr.
