These are some great quotes! Dahl was certainly right about grown ups!

All very true, especially the thwarted idealist.

I miss Obama and the class he and Michelle brought to the country.
My post
Same here!
I love that you quoted The Princess Bride! It’s one of my favorite movies. I actually bought a copy of the book a few years ago I’ve been meaning to read.
The book is really good! Hope you like it.
Barack Obama serving up truth, and I really like #5 as well.
Thanks! 🙂 It’s nice to see you around.
Good ones…I like the Bombeck quote too.
Good one from Barack Obama.
I love every single one of the quotes you shared this week! Some of them I’ve never read before, but they did that thing where I hold my breath for a few seconds as I’m reading them because I want to fully experience them, if that makes sense. I think 1, 3, 5 and 7 are the ones that stand out to me the most if I had to choose, but they’re all brilliant! Thanks for sharing!
