“Expectations were like fine pottery. The harder you held them, the more likely they were to crack.”

“We are the owls of the weather chaw.
We take it blistering,
We take it all.
Roiling boiling gusts,
We’re the owls with the guts.
For blizzards our gizzards
Do tremble with joy.
An ice storm, a gale, how we love blinding hail.
We fly forward and backward,
Upside down and flat.
Do we flich? Do we wail?
Do we skitter or scutter?
No, we yarp one more pellet
And fly straight for the gutter!
Do we screech? Do we scream?
Do we gurgle? Take pause?
Not on your life!
For we are the best
Of the best of the chaws!”
― Kathryn Lasky

“Philosophy? What good is that?” Isn’t it the art of saying nothing with as many words as possible?”

“If you're always on time, it implies that you never have anything better you should be doing.”
