When life is getting rough, I remember this: "The most miserable life is better than a sheltered life in organized society, where everything is calculated and perfected." Frederico Fellini, La Dolce Vita.

"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"
Theodore Geisel aka Dr. Seuss

Children's literature is one of my favorite literary forms - it's chameleonlike, appealing to children with their open minds of wonder, yet when read as an adult, a whole new meaning. Perhaps meant to lure the adults to read to their children. My mother read to me every night and it's one of my fondest memories.
