I found this quote and thought it would be great for the backroom. I know dialyn has posted some great ones as well. If anyone has some quotes from authors, etc., that they'd like to share, please post them. " ... there are two kinds of critics in life: those who criticize you because they want you to fail and those who criticize you because they want you to succeed." THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN (syndicated newspaper columnist.)

Hmm I am afraid I know not who to crdit for this, but it was to good to just pass by. Poetry is not the meanderings of an intelligent mind, flippant musings, cocktail party talk jumbled up and repeated hurly-burly. Rather, poetry is clarity: plain and ordinary speech, about plain and ordinary things. In fact, some of the best poetry is often about the seemingly most unpoetic of things.

It wasn't from a class you took, was it? It shows up in course materials on the website: http://www.worldcampus.psu.edu/il/courses/syl/ENGL_0050l.html (if you back up through the pages, you can find the authors) I can't help it...I used to have a job researching reference questions and the Internet makes it all too easy for me. :(

Theodore Sturgeon ... Sturgeon's Law - "95% of Science Fiction is crap, but then again, 95% of everything is crap." He's another favorite of mine. :)
