Quote of the Day 7/25/11

Today's quote requires you to channel your inner child. It comes from A.A. Milne, and it's just so innocent and sweet (aka, nothing like me). But for some reason, I still find it to be really profound.

“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,’ said Piglet at last, ‘what’s the first thing you say to yourself?’ ‘What’s for breakfast?’ said Pooh. ‘What do you say, Piglet?’ ‘I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?’ said Piglet. Pooh nodded thoughtfully. ‘It’s the same thing,’ he said.”

-- A. A. Milne

Winnie the Pooh is actually a bear-shaped Buddha, full of wisdom and honey.

Quote of the Day 7/18/11

Today's quote comes from a guy I actually have never heard of before. He's a screenwriter responsible for such gems as "Eyes Wide Shut" and "Daisy Miller." I may not have ever heard of him, and I may hate the movie Eyes Wide Shut, but I really like this quote. Probably because it references prostitutes.

“Great restaurants are, of course, nothing but mouth-brothels. There is no point in going to them if one intends to keep one’s belt buckled.”

-- Frederic Raphael

Something tells me he has no intention of keeping his belt buckled...

Quote of the Day 7/11/11

Today's quote comes from an author I quite respect. Not for Tom Sawyer (I might harm myself if I have to be subjected to it again in any form other than the JTT movie), but for his humor, which I enjoy. I really love this quote, because all "being healthy" really means is that you die slower.

"There are people who strictly deprive themselves of each and every eatable, drinkable, and smokable which has in any way acquired a shady reputation. They pay this price for health. And health is all they get for it. How strange it is. It is like paying out your whole fortune for a cow that has gone dry."

--Mark Twain

Wow, Jonathon Taylor Thomas is really starting to show his age

Quote of the Day 7/4/11

Since it's Independence Day, I figured we could use a good ole' fashioned patriotic quote that describes the quintessential American experience.

"The 4th of July combines the two things Americans love most in one day: alcohol and explosives."

-- David Letterman

Maybe alcohol and explosives are to blame for Jay's weird teeth.
