ReplyDeleteWonderful quotes, Dawn! I've jotted some down to share with my sister!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ladies. My favorite thing to do besides write and read is laugh. I'm the happiest person I know over 5 feet. LOL I can't compete with the kids. LOL
ReplyDeleteFabulous, all of them.. Where would we be without laughter? I love it when I am reading a book and give way to the words and bust out laughing... nothing better.
ReplyDeleteI so love when that happens, Brenda. You're right, nothing better. It's great when it's organic. It just grows out of the story and you're like, "wow" I wrote that, and it's funny!
ReplyDeleteI love the quotes! Very funny!
ReplyDeleteThese are great. I love, love, love Ray Bradbury. And his quote does not disappoint.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Muriel.

I loved EB White's and Somerset's ( I feel entitled to call him by Somerset. When we were little my Dad would read from his books, along with Poe, a bit dark, but both were master story tellers. Have you ever written a free write to a quote? I can see floating away on any one of these..
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer, Roseann's a woot.
ReplyDeleteTosh, it is fun becoming other people, huh!
Brenda, I know Poe, well, some of his work but not Somerset's. No I've never written for a free quote. Have you? Am I understanding your question right. LOL I may not be. Sorry.
Lovely quotes collection. Thanks for sharing!!
