"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."

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
Any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy
Who'll decide where to go.

"A stupid horse and wagon...horse and chariot...chariot pulled by flying
cat...flying cat pulling Viking ship...Viking ship sailing up a
volcano...Volcano blowing hearts and diamonds & clubs...I saw a giant eight
miles tall...who took the cards 52 in all...And this is a story that no one
can beat…. I saw it all happen on Mulberry Street.
NOTE:
--these are the first words, as explained by Dr. Seuss, that he ever wrote
as far as children's literature… "I put them down in a bar at M.S. Kungshold
sometime during the summer of 1936. I wrote them for only reason. I was
trying to keep my mind off the storm that was going on."

This is a poem Dr. Seuss wrote about death called I AM PREPARED…..
"When I cross the Bar of the Great Blue Be yonder
I know that my Maker, without pause or ponder,
Will welcome my soul. For my record is scar-less
I've eaten no oysters in months that are R-less."

"So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact
and remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act.
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left."
