Quotes!

Quotes!
The gift of sympathy... is a charming faculty, but one often abused by those who are conscious of its possession, for there is something ghoulish in the avidity with they will pounce upon the misfortune of their friends so that they may exercise their dexterity. It gushes forth like an oil-well, and the sympathetic pour out their sympathy with an abandon that is sometimes embarrassing to their victims.

The thing about awards is, when you don't get one, you feel terrible, and when you do get one, you realize how little it actually had to do with you.

Westboro church founder Fred Phelps dies

ezs note: It's just my opinion, but other than news of his death, Phelps should be UTTERLY forgotten. He comes as close to a genuine Nazi as Adolf Hitler and his like, and should be treated as such. (And no, I do NOT use the term lightly.) If I were his undertaker, I wouldn't even bother with a tiny marker. So there.
