YOU CAN QUOTE ME

I'm a sucker for those books that are collections of pithy quotes. I have never read such a book cover to cover, but whenever I encounter them I never fail to open them up, plunk my finger down, and see what pearls of wisdom I can glean from the likes of Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, and the like. The appeal of a good quote is undeniable. They are bite-size but also expansive. The sum of my own literary ambitions are limited to this; Someday I want a quote of mine to be published in such a collection. I better start generating some worthy quotes. This new BFZ feature, YOU CAN QUOTE ME, is where I'll collect them as they come to me.

"Lifeguarding a crowded pool is like a high-stakes game of Where's Waldo." J. Bowden Tate

(Thanks to my friend, Steve Maxon, for the above revision. He commented that dropping "a crowded pool" and "like" would make it a stronger quote and I agreed with the former but not the latter. Thanks, Steve. I wish I could link your name so that BFZ readers could click over to your blog to witness your brilliance for themselves, but, alas, said blog is non-existent for now. Allow me to suggest the following title for your, as yet, non-existent blog-  "Maxi's Pad." C'mon Steve, it's getting lonely out here.)
