Barbara Kingsolver

"April is the cruelest month, T.S. Eliot wrote, by which I think he meant (among other things) that springtime makes people crazy. We expect too much, the world burgeons with promises it can't keep, all passion is really a setup, and we're doomed to get our hearts broken yet again. I agree, and would further add: Who cares? Every spring I go out there anyway, around the bend, unconditionally. ... Come the end of the dark days, I am more than joyful. I'm nuts. "

Rita Mae Brown

"The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four people is suffering from a mental illness. Look at your 3 best friends. If they're ok, then it's you."

"Do not seek the because - in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions."

Groucho Marx

"I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book."

"From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down, I convulsed with laughter. Someday I intend on reading it."

"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read."

"Humor is reason gone mad."

"I've had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn't it."

Groucho Marx
