Just a few of them that have stuck with me over the years…
A.A Milne

“Well”, said Pooh, “what I like best,” and then he had to stop and think. Because, although eating honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn’t know what it was called.
Autumn
Bittersweet October. The mello, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter. – Carol Bishop
Delicious Autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking successive autumns. – George Elliot
Baseball
Strikeouts are boring – besides that, they’re fascist. Throw some ground balls. More democratic. – Crash Davis, Bull Durham
Baseball is reassuring. It makes me feel as if the world is not going to blow up. – Sharon Olds
