Here is a Friday question. Have you recently come across a quotation in real (or sl) that paticularly appeals to you. Here's mine:
"They say it is better to be poor and happy than rich and miserable, but how about a compromise like moderately rich and just moody?"
- Lady Diana, quoted in The Adelaide Advertider, and again in 'The Week", 4th October 2008.
I am also partial to one of my own which was genuine surprise:
"You mean you can HIDE groups????"

Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper's bell of an approaching looter.

The first is making shoes at night while, you know, while the old cobbler sleeps.You can bake cookies in a tree. But the third job, some call it, uh, "the show" or "the big dance," it's the profession that every linden aspires to.
