Favorite Quotes
What's your favorite quote or memorable line from your favorite book?
"In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. 'Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone,' he told me, 'just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.'" -F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
When I was feeling a bit disillusioned one day my father, who was something of a philosopher, quoted Dr. Pangloss from Voltaire's "Candide" "All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds."
