Today I discovered that Yale has a book of quotations. How convenient.

I also live right next to a library. How convenient.

The full quote:
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars, and in the middle, you see the blue center-light pop, and everybody goes ahh..."

Quoted: Thumper from Bambi

I came to the sharp realization earlier today that I've actually missed a day of blogging due to flying around. I'm making up for it now. Sorry!

A quote from Thumper in Disney, while grammatically incorrect, good advice nonetheless.

Day 8: Decisions

Fragment: "It all depends on what you want."

Font: Times New Roman

Quoted: Jake Eliasberg

Jake's the first to get a double quote. 
He would. I probably talk to him too much.
Ironically this quote comes from indecision over which quote to pick. I was thinking between "You're not stupid" (It was a nice to hear, even if I don't ever think I am) and "Say something smart" (A frustrating that I hear some people say when they find out I go to a good school)
His advice was on the feelings each quote would give, and to a certain extent, I knew that, but I needed to hear it out loud before it clicked. I spent the next few hours pondering my feelings on the two, only to realize as I sat down to write, that once again, Jake had magically produced intelligent conversation.
Just kidding. Love you Jake.
