Rest Time

By Annette Rey

How about not having a writing lesson today? Just sit back and enjoy a few light thoughts.

 

• A man walks into a bookstore. “Where’s the self-help section?” he asks the clerk. She shrugs and replies, “If I tell you, won’t that defeat the purpose?” —Anonymous

 

• As Eric Idle once wisely said, “Levity is the opposite of gravity.”

 

• Cats meow to tell you how to scratch their backs – ignore them and they pay you back by scratching up your couch.       Annette Rey

 

• Have you ever held a cat on your lap when someone turned on a vacuum? Not for long, you say?   Annette Rey

 

• Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers, … Alfred Lord Tennyson

 

• If you like law and sausages, you should never watch either one being made. Otto von Bismarck (unverified)

 

And one thought provoking, writing-related quote –

• A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged, it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and the time in which it is used. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes

 

Ahhh! That was a nice rest.
