Pessimisms: Famous (and not so famous) Observations, Quotations, Thoughts, and Ruminations on What to Expect When You're Expecting the Worst - Softcover
Bad things happen to everyone, and Pessimisms provides just the right words of irreverent inspiration to help you laugh at life and all of its nasty surprises. Inspired by the author's profoundly pessimistic late Grandma Ethel, Pessimisms offers wickedly witty observations, quotations, thoughts, and ruminations on:
FAMILY
"Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city."
--George Burns
FAITH
"God is love, but get it in writing."
--Gypsy Rose Lee
MEN
"The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing--and then marry him."
--Cher
LOVE
"Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell."
--Joan Crawford
LIFE
"Life isn't one damn thing after another. It's the same damn thing again and again."
--Edna St. Vincent Millay
HEALTH
"The only way to keep your health is the eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not."
--Mark Twain
OPTIMISM
"An optimist is a guy who has never had much experience."
--Don Marquis
