This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.

Dorothy Parker

You grow up the day you have your first real laugh at yourself.

Ethel Barrymore

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.

Anne Bradstreet (1612-1672)

If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it.

Margaret Fuller

A smile starts on the lips, A grin spreads to the eyes, A chuckle comes from the belly; But a good laugh bursts forth from the soul, Overflows, and bubbles all around.

Carolyn Birmingham
