Brief Quotes

Couldn't let this one go:

"Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.
Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."

-Grouch Marx

And more from my secret desire to Haiku--just came to mind while looking at my workload for this week:

Slaughtered tree corpses
thinly sliced, groaning, winking-
my desk aches from thee

Electrons backed up;
brown unopened envelopes...
...behind on email.

And I thought this quote was interesting, because I noticed this while driving around in Vermont by myself for just one day a week ago...

"I lived in solitude in the country and noticed how the monotony of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind"

Albert Einstein
