Tell us your favorite quotation and why.
I have a couple:
“Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker.”
~Ogden Nash
I first used this quote in blind-english-teacher Miss Weckerly’s class. I forget the context, but we read a short story and she asked the class if we knew what the author was writing about.
I got a huge laugh with my smart-ass comment. Even blind-english-teacher Miss Weckerly chuckled.
Thing is: I was right. It was a good summary of what the story was about. Maybe it was about Godiva??? Whaddya think? Recall any classic tales to which this would apply?
The other quote is my all time favorite:
“I would rather have a free bottle in front of me, than a prefrontal lobotomy.”
~Dean Martin
