So you treat your love like a firefly, like it only gets to shine for a little while.Catch it in a mason jar, with holes in the top, and run like hell to show it off.

The problems of this world are only truly solved in two ways: by extinction or duplication.

Susan Sontag

Ambrose Bierce

Philosophy begins in wonder.

Plato

Not doing more than the average is what keeps the average down.

William M. Winans

Harvey Fierstein

Nothing goes out of fashion sooner than a long dress with a very low neck.

Coco Chanel

The simple act of saying 'thank you' is a demonstration of gratitude in response to an experience that was meaningful to a customer or citizen.
