She offered me her honor
So I honored her offer
And all night
I was honor and offer

"The proposition that the people are the best keepers of their own liberties is not true. They are the worst conceivable, they are no keepers at all; they can neither judge, act, think, or will, as a political body."

-John Adams

Okay, I'm going to cheat and post a couple more by Adams because I love them...

"It's simply a matter of doing what you do best and not worrying about what the other fellow is going to do."

"The influence of each human being on others in this life is a kind of immortality."

"I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider, who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like a state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind." -- George Bernard Shaw

"Look, we're all the same; a man is a fourteen-room house - in the bedroom he's asleep with his intelligent wife, in the living-room he's rolling around with some bareass girl, in the library he's paying taxes, in the yard he's raising tomatoes, and in the cellar he's making a bomb to blow it all up."

Arthur Miller 1915-2005 (from The Ride Down Mount Morgan)

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

"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."
