“If my wife is cooking a meal at home, which is not often, thankfully, but you know, she's doing (oh, she's good at some things) but if she's cooking, you know, she's dealing with people on the phone, she's talking to the kids, she's painting the ceiling, she's doing open-heart surgery over here; if I'm cooking, the door is shut, the kids are out, the phone's on the hook, if she comes in I get annoyed, I say "Terry, please, I'm trying to fry an egg in here, give me a break.".” PeopleIfsKnowsGivingTryingHeartHomeKidsTalkingBreakWifeDoorsPaintingPleaseGive MeCookingPhonesMy WifeMealsEggsSurgeryHookCeilingsAnnoyedOpen HeartDealing With PeopleHeart Surgery Author:Ken Robinson

“History is a living horse laughing at a wooden horse. History is a wind blowing where it listeth. History is no sure thing to bet on. History is a box of tricks with a lost key. History is a labyrinth of doors with sliding panels, a book of ciphers with the code in a cave of the Saragossa sea. History says, if it pleases, Excuse me, I beg your pardon, it will never happen again if I can help it.” IfsI CanBookHelpingHappensLostLaughingDoorsSeaWindKeysPleaseHorseBoxesExcuseTricksCodeCavesPardonLabyrinthExcuse MeSure ThingCiphersWind Blowing Author:Carl Sandburg

“I liked John a lot. He was the one I really got on with the most. We weren't buddy-buddies but we were always friendly. But after the Beatles and the Stones stopped playing clubs, we didn't see each other that much until he separated from Yoko, around 1974. We got really friendly again. And when he went back with Yoko, he went into hibernation ... when I went to visit someone in the Dakota, I'd leave him a note saying: 'I live next door: I know you don't want to see anyone, but if you do, please call.' He never did.” IfsKnowsWantNextDoorsPleaseStonesNotesClubsFriendlyBuddyDakotaHibernation Author:Mick Jagger

“I go to a hotel and try to get there by 5:30 in the morning. I keep a dictionary, a thesaurus, a bible, a deck of playing cards, a bottle of sherry, and stacks of yellow sticky pads. I shut myself in for six, seven hours. I have an arrangement with the hotel that no one may go in my room. After three or four months, they might slip notes under my door like, "Dear Ms. Angelou, please let us change the linens. We think they might be molding." It's probably true. I let them in if they promise not to touch anything other then the bed.” IfsThinkingTryingMayMightThreeHoursRoomsMorningFourDoorsMonthsPleasePromiseBedSixNotesSevenDearCardsHotelBottlesYellowSlipsArrangementsDictionaryDeckPadsStickyLinenPlaying CardsMoldingSherryThesaurusAngelou Author:Maya Angelou
