"Life is like an onion. You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep." ― Carl Sandburg Topic(s): Time More From Carl Sandburg "I’ve written some poetry I don’t understand myself." "Nearly all the best things that came to me in life have been unexpected, unplanned by me." "When I was writing pretty poor poetry, this girl with midnight black hair told me to go on."

Each time an actor acts he does not hide; he exposes himself."― Rodney Dangerfield "It takes less time to do a thing right, than it does to explain why you did it wrong."― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow "What then is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know."― Saint Augustine
