If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn’t be more surprised than I am now. — Christmas Vacation
Life is going to throw you curve balls. You can train and prepare all you want, but every so often something is going to come along that surprises you. You can let that roll over you, or you can adapt and use them.

America is a country which produces citizens who will cross the ocean to fight for democracy but won’t cross the street to vote. — From an email from OldNFO

They say a man who represents himself has a fool for a client. Well, with God as my witness, I am that fool! — The Addams Family
There should come a time when you look at a project and say “This I cannot do myself.”. There’s a reason that the term “WECSOG” exists. Knowing what you can do well, and what you really ought to pay someone else to do, is an important step toward success.
I really wish I had learned that lesson several years and several thousand dollars in building supplies earlier than I did.

Lady doing a lecture about British history: Over the next few sessions, we will discuss how the Anglo-Saxons replaced the Celtic inhabitants of Great Britain.
Me: Burn the village to the ground, doo dah, doo dah.
Girlie Bear: Spread the fire all around, all the doo dah day!

You still think it’s beautiful to die for your country. The first bombardment taught us better. When it comes to dying for country, it’s better not to die at all. — All Quiet on the Western Front
The tiny portion of our fellow citizens who stand up to defend home and hearth reflects a noble minority who are willing to walk away from comfort and easy living so that others might be safe. All that they ask is that their lives be spent only on things that matter, and that they never be taken for granted.
We honor our dead. We remember not only how they died, but also how they lived. We owe it to them to make sure that their sacrifices are few and are never in vain.

Listen to them: the children of the night. What sweet music they make. — Dracula
Why are we fascinated by the macabre? Movie monsters, sparkly vampires, and zombies, not to mention just plain old slashers and boogiemen, make up a huge percentage of our entertainment. Our legends and fairy tales include tales of murder, cannibalism, and unspeakable evil. What causes us to stare so long into this abyss?
Me? I just do it to meet friends and family. I love each and every one of you ghoulish, slime-dripping, raving lunatics.

My fear is my concern. — Lawrence of Arabia
Every person is going to fear different things. Creepy crawlie things that make Irish Woman turn homicidal don’t bother me, but she’s OK around snakes, while I’m in the “kill them all and let Set sort them out” crowd. One of the hardest lessons I’ve learned was to accept that others are afraid of things that don’t bother me.
