"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 "Back of every mistaken venture and defeat is the laughter of wisdom, if you listen." "When I was writing pretty poor poetry, this girl with midnight black hair told me to go on." "Sometime they’ll give a war and nobody will come." More In Time "Do not wait; the time will never be “just right.” Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along."― George Herbert "There comes a time in each life like a point of fulcrum. At that time you must accept yourself. It is not anymore what you will become. It is what you are and always will be."― John Fowles "Right now I’m having amnesia and deja vu at the same time."― Steven Wright
