"What's complicated? I don't live in a cave; I get it. The rich girls steal, the pretty girls lie, the smart girls play dumb, and the dumb girls spend their days trying to be all of the above."--from a character from Pretty Little Liars

My, how this character stereotypes girls. I wonder, though, is there truth to this? What do you think?

"No poet and no historian and no man skilled in any kind of writing has been able to please all his readers in every respect. Nor is it possible for human nature, whatever its achievement, to gain the unqualified approval of all." --from Diodorus Siculus (ca. 60-30 B.C.), Book 26.

"All husbands are a little insane. There will be a time you're thinking, 'what the hell did I marry this guy for,' and then like it will snow and he'll put chains on your tires and then you'll remember why you married him."--from Roseanne

What woman can dispute this? You know you've stared at your man at least once in your relationship and thought, What level is his brain working on?

"Attention shoppers. If you've lost your kid, please come to customer service to claim him."--in Walmart, over the intercom

What is he? Luggage?

"If you live to be hundred, I want to be hundred minus one day...so I never have to live without you."--Winnie the Pooh

You know you have someone in your life you feel this way about. Think of that person. Now go share this quote with them.

"Dr. Haggen was right when she said memories can either push us forward or hold us back. I carry the memory of Hannah like a soldier carries his rifle into war, a war most people don't even know exists, a war that may someday engulf us all."--from a show on the Syfy channel, and of course the name completely escapes me now

I love the simile, though, the equation of memories being attached to people like weapons are attached to men in war. Weapons are dangerous, as everyone knows, but memories can be, too. And when you feel them, slamming into you with each breath you take, they can knock you down until there's barely anything left of you. It's interesting the way things get into people's heads, and stay there, particularly when you want these memories to just drift away, like soldiers can when they come home from war.

"They used to be called slutty shoes, but now they're accepted."--from a woman in a mall, watching her daughter try on heels

Talk about a funny moment. This woman was completely serious, and boy was she eyeballing her daughter as she walked, rather comfortably, in those high heels.
