Quote of the Day: Oscar Wilde

“Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.” Wow. I can't believe I haven't quoted Oscar Wilde yet because he has the best quotes. Unfortunately, nothing he ever wrote serioulsy comes close to being as profound as his pithy little quotes. I like to think of him as the stand-up comedian of the literary world.

Although, that analogy may no longer hold water since comedians can now be US Senators. I'm not sure which is a greater sign of the upcoming apocalypse, Senator Al Franken or Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. (Note: This is not a political comment just a general comment about the power of celebrity in our culture.)


You know what makes me happy? Amazon.com. I ordered a book yesterday at 10:30AM and went with the free two-day shipping option. So guess what showed up on my doorstep last night? That's right, my book. It was beyond awesome. I am not sure how they broke the time/space continuum, but I say, more power to them.
