Quotes from a tear off cal­en­dar my mom gave me a few years ago. These are ones that I saved. I don’t nec­es­sar­ily remem­ber why I saved them all. I don’t even know that any­one any­where fact checked these. Some I liked and still like. Others must have just hit me. All here in no par­tic­u­lar order except the order they’ve been in on my desk the last cou­ple of years.
