Can I Quote You? - Blogithttps://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/TKay/I love quotes of any kind; I collect them like some kind of weird packrat. Here are my favorites and what I think of when I think of them.hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/TKay/448967I'm all for keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters. Solomon Stewart LOL, I just love this quote. When I first read it, I was like, "huh?", but then I remembered that, yes, a typewriter (or pen or keyboard or whatever) can be a dangerous weapon when you...Teachershttps://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/TKay/354721"I believe we invite people into our lives, especially our partners, to be our teachers." Patricia Love The rest of the essay I found this quote in went on to talk about how we do this, but then have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the classroom. I thought it the perfect example of human...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/TKay/340449"Give me one firm spot on which to stand, and I will move the earth." Achimedes I've heard this quote used many times, and applied too many different ways to count. That's what I love about it--as well as having a personal meaning that mixes perfectly with my ideas about "Life", it's broad enough...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/TKay/332366"Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work." Aristotle I'm probably sounding redundant by now, but I'll say it again--I love hard work. Well, not all the time, but most of the time. Especially when it's something I enjoy doing, such as writing, babysitting my brothers, playing basketball...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/TKay/324875"There is no mistaking a real book when one meets it. It's like falling in love." Lenore Hershey I found this quote last night while doing research for my webpage, and not only did I think it was funny, but kinda true, as well.

It's very romanticized. And, yes, I am a romantic person, but I've always thought that people put way to much emphasis on...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/TKay/308729"If we'd fix our families, we'd be able to fix society." ~Anonymous Well, this isn't completely anonymous; my Child Education teacher says it all the time. Anyway, it's one of the simplest and truest things I've ever heard. If we can show people that their parents love them, that they have miles...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/TKay/306191"Style flows from the sediment of one's personality." ~Diane Ackerman My immediate thoughts are, "VERY TRUE!" I think she means our sediment as our our past, and we should never ignore or try to discredit the past. True, the future is important. And the present is even more important. But one...Yephttps://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/TKay/289038"A moment's success pays for the failure of the years." ~Robert Browning So true. Any writer knows this, LOL!Have A Laughhttps://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/TKay/279197"I love to laugh and think that love and laughter go hand in hand." ~Drew Barrymore I love this quote. Not only is it from the mouth of one of my favorite actresses, but I feel really like I can relate to it. Having been dubbed a "Nork" by my family (a cross between a nerd and a dork), I've...
