This was all over my flist. Five favorite quotations from a quotations page. I wonder, what does my selection say about me? :P

The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)

The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect.
Esther Dyson, Interview in Time Magazine, October 2005

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
Krishnamurti

I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it.
Mary Chase (1887 - 1973), Jimmy Stewart in "Harvey", 1950

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955), (attributed)

OMG Romi, I wanted to comment on at least five of your recent posts, but I just don't seem to have the time to breathe recently... lol. I just skim through my email/flist with honest intention to get back to commenting/replying as soon as I finish reading... and then it's suddenly past my bedtime. How the hell does that happen?!?... Every day?!?... *tears hair out in frustration*

Anyway... glad to see you back, safe and sound (or just a little crazy, as usual :P). *hugs*

*hugs back very hard*

Hi!:) I have edited the post to include the link.

And yes, the quote number four is my absolute favorite as well.:P What makes it even better is the fact that I am exactly thirty-five.:D
