There's nothing that makes you so aware of the improvisation of human existence as a song unfinished. Or an old address book.

-Carson McCullers

"How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live."

Henry David Thoreau

I'm cheating because it's Saturday.

And because I love so many of the Tallulah Bankhead quotes:

"The only thing I regret about my past is the length of it. If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner."

"If you really want to help the American theater, don't be an actress, dahling. Be an audience."

"It's the good girls who keep diaries; the bad girls never have time."

"I'm as pure as the driven slush."

"There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, that specified that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane, he had to fly them."

-Joseph Heller, Catch-22
