Nonsense

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.
Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope.
Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
-- Dr. Seuss

Ha Ha

I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it.
-- Jack Handey

unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken.
If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness.
But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.
-- C.S. Lewis

Rules

Hell, there are no rules here,
we're trying to accomplish something.
--Thomas Edison

Oh, the Places You'll Go!

On and on you will hike. And I know you'll hike far
and face up to your problems whatever they are.

You'll get mixed up, of course, as you already know.
You'll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go.
So be sure when you step. Step with care and great tact
and remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act.
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.

And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)
KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!

So...
be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray
or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,
you're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So ... get on your way!

-- Oh, the Places You'll Go!

Blindness

But the eyes are blind.
One must look with the heart...
-- Le Petit Prince

Seeing

Here is my secret.
It is very simple:
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye.
-- Le Petit Prince
