QUOTE(s) O' THE DAY - FOR WHATEVER DAY IT IS..
The topic for today is, roughly, life, through the eyes of Edward Abbey:
"Life is unfair. And it's not fair that life is unfair."
"Life is cruel? Compared to what?"
"Life is too tragic for sadness: Let us rejoice."
"Life is too short for grief. Or regret. Or bullshit."
"I intend to be good for the rest of my natural life--if I live that long."
"Life: another day, another dolor."
"A life without tragedy would not be worth living."
"Life without music would be an intolerable insult."
"There is a deep, abiding, unshakable satisfaction in a life of complete failure."
"If you're never ridden a fast horse at a dead run across a desert valley at dawn, be of good cheer: You've only missed out on one half of life."
"One must be reasonable in one's demands on life. For myself, all that I ask is: (1) accurate information; (2) coherent knowledge; (3) deep understanding; (4) infinite loving wisdom; (5) no more kidney stones, please."
"To the intelligent man or woman, life appears infinitely mysterious. But the stupid have an answer for every question."
"There has never been a day in my life when I was not in love."
"The dog's life is a good life, for a dog."
..and, finally..
"Life is hard? True--but let's love it anyhow, though it breaks every bone in our bodies."
--all by Edward Abbey
