Favorite Quotations

     Quotations are like interesting friends.  You collect them gradually, one at a time.  My collection is small, but like the San Francisco library in Richard Brautigan's The Abortion: An Historical Romance (1966), I accept submissions from anyone.  If you have a favorite quotation or two, on any topic, please email them to me.
