What a great quote for the holiday! Here’s another for you:

Merry Christmas, Woeful, may Santa bring you an unlimited supply of aspirin and Scotch!

Merry Christmas, Woeful. Advil is better than aspirin and I guess Scotch is better than both.

Ha! One of the things I wanted (and got) for Christmas was Bukowski’s book The Pleasures Of The Damned which is a collection of his poems from 1951-1993! Let us not forget Dylan Thomas either who said, “An alcoholic is someone you don’t like who drinks as much as you do.”

Have A Happy!

Quotes

When you are growing up, there are two institutional places that affect you most powerfully—the church, which belongs to God, and the public library, which belongs to you. The public library is a great equalizer.
- Keith Richards

I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: ‘O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.’ And God granted it.
- Voltaire

Despite the meek, shush-shushing stereotype, librarians are largely a freedom-upholding, risk-taking group. In the name of the First Amendment and anti-censorship, they have championed the causes of provocative writers and spoken out against banned and challenged books.
- Writer Linton Weeks, Washington Post

I really didn't realize the librarians were, you know, such a dangerous group. ... You think they're just sitting at the desk, all quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution, man. I wouldn't mess with them.
- Michael Moore

Those who burn books today will burn people tomorrow.
- Anonymous witness, Nazi bonfire 1933

First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Social Democrats, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Social Democrat. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew, Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.
- Pastor Martin Neimoller

We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.
- John F. Kennedy

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
- Benjamin Franklin

A constitution of government, once changed from freedom, can never be restored; liberty once lost, is lost forever.
- John Adams
