Richard Wilbur

With work as busy as it is right now, I'm spending most of the time at the office or decompressing alone at home.  Makes for a kinda lonely existence...

"What is the opposite of two?
A lonely me, a lonely you."

-Richard Wilbur, Opposites, More Opposites, and a Few Differences

Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks)

All good things are worth the effort.  It's always better to have the satisfaction of overcoming something.

"It's supposed to be hard.  If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it.  The hard is what makes it great."

-Jimmy Dugan (played by Tom Hanks), A League of Their Own

Anne Sexton

I'm not one to wear my heart on my sleeve, but I like this...

"As it has been said: Love and a cough cannot be concealed.  Even a small cough.  Even a small love."

-Anne Sexton
