“You got to be careful if you don’t know where you’re going, because you might not get there.”

– Yogi Berra

“Vote early and vote often.”
– Al Capone

After convincing me to start writing a blog, I asked Sebastian Prooth, non-fiction writer and blogger, what do I write about? He replied, “A blogger is what a blogger does”

“Play nice, even with yourself”
-Confucious…..submitted by John X

“It’s easier to be forgiven than it is to get permission.”
-A. Nonomous

I asked Patti Dahlstrom if she had any favorite quotes from her friend, the late director Robert Altman?

“Bob always took ideas from anyone who wanted to comment. Most were not very good. One day I asked him, “Why do you encourage everyone to tell you what they think when there are so many unusable ideas?” He looked at me and smiled and said, “Because you might hear 99 bad ideas and then comes one that is wonderful!”

“Even A Blind Man Can Tell When He’s Walkin The Sun”
-Jeff Barry from a song he wrote for his late father

In a conversation about Spectropop, the 60’s music forum, Songwriter/Producer, Mark Wirtz told music enthusiast Joe Nelson that he sees Spectropop as, “A meeting of minds between those on the creative end who made the music happen and those on the recieving end who refuse to let it die!”

finally, Sharon Link, passes this one along about an old Cherokee who tells his grandson about the constant battle that goes on inside people. He said, “My son, the battle is between two “wolves” inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf wins?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

    I know something about quotes, having contributed to the Groucho Marx section of The Yale Book of Quotations:

    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0300107986/wideanglereco-20

    The book includes recent and pop-culture quotes.

    Wonderful blog! It has surpassed my over the hump Wednesday column “internet” as my favorite regular feature. The old Indian tale at the end was perfect and true!

  3. Laura Says:

    Mark Wirtz is very wise. So is that chap Jeff Barry, come to think of it. 🙂

    I leave you now with a trio of noteworthy quotes:

    “To do is to be” -Descartes
    “To be is to do” -Voltaire
    “Do be do be do” -Frank Sinatra
