What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more. -- Dr Seuss

If you could see humanity spread out in time, as God sees it, it would look like one single growing thing--rather like a very complicated tree.

TFTD

Each handicap is like a hurdle in a steeplechase, and when you ride up to it, if you throw your heart over, the horse will go along, too. -- Lawrence Bixby

TFTD

I am so beautiful, sometimes people weep when they see me. And it has nothing to do with what I look like really, it is just that I gave myself the power to say that I am beautiful, and if I could do that, maybe there is hope for them too. And the great divide between the beautiful and the ugly will cease to be. Because we are all what we choose. -- Margaret Cho
