Favorite Link quotes:

• “There are no bad pictures; that's just how your face looks sometimes.” 

• “I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how a man could look up into the heavens and say there is no God.”

• “If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?” 

• “When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.”
