Quotes~Mrs. Ewer

From there to here, from here to there, funny things

are everywhere.

I like nonsense, it wakes up

the brain cells. Fantasy is a

necessary ingredient in

living, It's a way of looking

at life through the wrong

end of a telescope. Which is

what I do, And that enables

you to laugh at life's

realities.

If you never did, you

should. These things are fun

and fun is good.

The more that you

read, the more

things you will know.

The more that you

learn, the more

places you'll go.

Today is gone. Today was fun.

Tomorrow is another one. Young cat, if

you keep your

eyes open enough, oh, th

e

stuff you would learn! The

most wonderfu

l stuff!
