Quotations
I've enjoyed reading quotations for as long as I can remember. Of course, I also read the dictionary for enjoyment, so it's all relative. But, there's just something about getting inside another person's mind, learning how they see the world, that comes through in quotations. Think about it - having read Ambrose Bierce or Will Rogers or Nietzsche, is there any doubt how they see the world?
Some of my favorites cover a broad range of subjects. It appears, however, that I have a fondness for sarcasm and dry wit. Hmmm? I wonder what that says about my opinion of the world?

Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends. ~ J. R. R. Tolkien (1892 - 1973), The Lord Of the Rings, Book Four, Chapter One
I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life. ~ Rita Rudner
The safest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it in your pocket. ~ Kin Hubbard (1868 - 1930)
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. ~ E. B. White (1899 - 1985)
