i'm back, in a tentative sort of way

Which means don't hold your breath, but hello. Lousy day. Here's a meme. Stolen from bibliotech.

Go here. Keep refreshing until you've collected five quotes that really resonate with you, then post them to your journal.

And the 5 what made the cut are...

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
J. R. R. Tolkien (1892 - 1973), The Fellowship of the Ring

One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done.
Marie Curie (1867 - 1934), letter to her brother, 1894

I don't know if God exists, but it would be better for His reputation if He didn't.
Jules Renard (1864 - 1910)

Humor is just another defense against the universe.
Mel Brooks (1926 - )

Sometimes the mind, for reasons we don't necessarily understand, just decides to go to the store for a quart of milk.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Three Doctors, 1993

If wild my breast and sore my pride,
I bask in dreams of suicide,
If cool my heart and high my head
I think "How lucky are the dead."
Dorothy Parker (1893-1967)

Apologies for the emo Dottie Parker bit at the end, but I adore her like no one's business.
