While packing for a trip tomorrow, I found a scrap of paper in my suitcase with two great quotes on it. I do not know when or where I wrote them down and I did not write down the author who created them. They are too good to be mine. In any case, I share them for your entertainment. "For adults, romances are variable and friendships are the constant. Privileged youth reverses the equation: love affairs are constant and it is the friendships that vary."
"Pettiness and cruelty, like long hair and short skirts, look better on a younger, more supple, frame."
If I keep finding notes to myself like this, I will make this a regular Epic feature!
Could it be, that while in a strange city, you awake at night and have a moment of brilliance, and you jot these down?

Sometimes I scribble stuff down on my legal pad when a judge is making a verbal ruling, just so I appear to be doing something. The scrawlings are often hilarious, occasionally haiku-like:
ReplyDelete"violent" "not to be trusted" "see you again".
The above from a recent sentencing. We got it on the chin in that one.
Both those quotes make me feel old and want to cry. They're lovely.
