OCCASIONAL QUOTATIONALS
is a pleasant email service with which to enjoy the work week. If you want
to start the day with an uplifting quote you can subscribe to Occasional Quotationals,
which are sent out at least once a week, and sometimes twice a week throughout
the year, unless I'm on vacation. The cost is $25 per year for at least 52 quotations
emailed to your email address.
Here are some samples:
"Just
Living is not ENOUGH," said THE BUTTERFLY, "ONE MUST HAVE SUNSHINE, FREEDOM,
and a LITTLE FLOWER!"
Hans Christian Anderson
"There is no sport in hate when all the rage is on one side. . ."
Shelley
"I am aware of something in myself, whose shine is my reason. I see clearly that something is there, but what it is I cannot understand. It seems to me that if I could grasp it, I should know all Truth. . ."
Anonymous
"Flair, instinct for hidden treasure. Like a diviner she went straight to what shines only in secret, water which languishes far from the light, the dormant seam, hearts from which every chance of blossoming has been withdrawn. . ."
Colette
"My advice to the women of America is to raise more hell and fewer dahlias. . ."
William Allen White
". . . . . . . . to forget and forgive is to disregard some important information."
Norma
"With wine and words of love and every vow, he lulled me into bed and closed my eyes, a sleepy stupid innocent. . . so now I dedicate the spoils of my surprise: the silk that bound my breasts, my virgin zone, Goddess, remember we were all alone, and he was strong-and I was half asleep."
translated from the Greek by Louis Untermeyer
"They have robbed us of lands, trees, and water. They have not been able to take what belongs to the Nawal. Nor shall they."
by Humberto Ak'abal translated from the original K'iche' Mayan language.
"Ak'abal's poem can only be explained, and then with difficulty, because the concept of the Nawal? ones other, not exactly one's alter ego, nor exactly one's spirit, but an other, parallel but of a different order, like and unlike, impossible to summon, found or encountered, but never merely dreamed- has no English or Spanish equivalent. It cannot be appropriated by the more powerful, not even by military dictators or death squads. The Nawal has no natural enemy but silence."
