Who says you have to be rich, famous or even successful to spout words of wisdom, exchange in whitty reparte, or make meaningful dialogue? This section is dedicated to those around me who, unknowingly, have used language in ways that need to be celebrated.

For example,

"I went down like a darted moose."
Gary describing the sudden onset of illness

"I am anti-working for anyone at least for now as I sweat in my grey cubicle breathing in the toxic fumes of corporate defeat."
Stacey on the life of a corporate banker.

"I am off to find my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, using Alexander Keith as my guide."
Jessica summarizing her St. Paddy's Day activities

I came across this in NOW! Magazine. Kinda sums up all you need to know about the relationship-rescuer types.

"... sometimes we fall in love with people who, for whatever reason, simply aren't healthy enough to love us back. When you realize you're falling in love with a hopeless mess, you don't hang in thinking your love will cure them. It won't. Love is great, love is grand, but love ain't chemotheraphy - it's not going to magically turn some sick f^%$#@ into a healthy f^%$#@."

"Remember my Jedi apprentice: Walk. Or Run. Don't Wobble.

Either you do something with all that you have and are, or you don't do it at all."

- My old boyfriend, Robb

"That vigilante stuff works good in movies but I would get pounded into the ground like a tent peg."

Gary

"Remind me next time I give a guy a fake number, not to put it on the back of my business card."

- Anonymous following a drunken night at the pub.
