Quoth Dream, aka Lord Morpheus: "Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and dreams are the shadow-truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes, and forgot."--Neil Gaiman, The Sandman: Dream Country

"I always thought the world was divided into only two kinds of people--those who think the world is divided into only two kinds of people, and those who don't."--Molly Ivins, "I Am the Cosmos," Nothin' But Good Times Ahead

Blather away! 2 eloquent blatherings Flag Link

This is utterly brilliant, nay, even inspiring:

From an article in the L.A. Times (2/26/07) by James Channing Shaw, a physician at the University of Toronto. Article title: "The Acceptance of Death Can be a Gift":

I'll always be inspired by the words my mother spoke on the day she died, when the paramedics came into the house and saw her lying on the couch, weak and short of breath. They knelt down and asked, "What seems to be the problem?"
In a voice almost inaudible, she said, "My tennis game is no good."
