-Hunter S. Thompson

I wanted to get in on the wise words. Plus I just looked Life’s photo gallery of the great drunks and addicts of literature. Under the picture of each writer was their name, year of birth to year of death, and then their addictions. Most just said, Alcohol, or Herion, or Alcohol and Speed. After the good doctor’s info it simply said, Everything.

“Tell him the truth Loretta. They find out anyway.”

And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft….When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife’s right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone’s right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness.” ~ The Kite Runner

This suddenly popped in my head on the drive home from the gym today..thought I would share it with you.

I have to admit, I have wondered about your ability to have quotes readily at hand. These are great! I’m trying to get caught up on my reading..I’ve been spending way too much time at the snow.

Also, “Friends don’t let friends Go To Hell.”- from a little church’s sign in the country I saw while riding the roads.

A must read for your kids.

Makes me sick.
