You all know my fondness for quotes of all kinds… fun, sad, inspiring, annoying, tear-inducing, and cringe worthy. So when we happened upon this book at kitchy little book store, on a shelf labeled ‘free books’ no less, I couldn’t help but snatch this one up with reckless abandon.
I love this book. Really.
It’s filled with quotes of all kinds, under every category imaginable. Well maybe not every one, but pretty darn close.
Like under ‘Boredom’ is this quote, ” Boredom is as positive a sensation as a toothache.” ~ Lee S. Gunter
Oh, help.
Or under ‘Identity Crisis,’ “A lot of people don’t realize they have an identity crisis until they try to cash a check in a strange town.” ~Bill Vaughn
Oh my.
I like this one under ‘Donation,’ “A guy donated a loud-speaking system to the church – in loving memory of his wife.” ~Anonymous
Oh dear, what have I done. Maybe I should’ve left this book on the shelf.
How about ‘Phobias’… “Claustrophobia – fear of Santa. Hydrophobia – fear of fireplugs. Phonophobia – fear of stereos or telephones.” ~Anonymous
Let’s change the subject, quick.
Let’s look at ‘Response.’ “It is not what happens to us that counts; it is how we respond.” ~Anonymous.
Ok, I’m going to respond by putting down this book, and stopping myself from reading any more so that I’ll have something for next Sunday…. or the next hundred Sundays.
Or not.
See you next year.

I love great quotes. I am a junkie for movie quotes. Totally nonsensical ones that only I seem to think are profound. That’s how I roll.

Aleta says
No kidding, great shots and I LOVE that book!
Ok, I’m ready, ready, ready!!!! Greg gave me the quote for this Sunday. In fact, he gave it to make LAST Sunday, because he loves the quote so much. Then, this morning, we woke up at 4am (UNHEARD of for me, BELIEVE me) – because I just had to get some shots in for the quote. And oh wow – can’t wait to post the pictures. Thanks for giving us the inspiration from the quote. I told Greg, “Go find me another quote that you like for next week.” hehe

i had to remove some books from the shelves and discard at work and one of them was a book of quotes–so i brought it home and began stripping from it for my projects—i started in the back of the book—in case the rest of it is good—that sounded crazy did it—but the book was old—anyways, so glad you found that book—enjoy it!!!
Renee says
You totally scored on the book.
