Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel)

I like nonsense; it wakes up the brain cells.

Adults are just obsolete children and the hell with them.

You have to be odd to be number one.

I am weird, you are weird. Everyone in this world is weird.

I like nonsense; it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...

I’m afraid that sometimes you’ll play lonely games too. Games you can’t win ’cause you’ll play against you.

Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling: 'How could it be so? It came without ribbons! It came without tags! It came without packages, boxes or bags!' And he puzzled three hours, till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! 'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!'

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

A person's a person, no matter how small.

You'll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.

If you never did you should. These things are fun, and fun is good.

Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.

It's opener, out there, in the wide, open air.

You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So... get on your way!

To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere.
