Mamacita says: There’s no actual theme for this week’s Quotation Saturday; it’s full of random wordbytes of wisdom. Oh, and if you don’t see any wisdom, you’re not looking closely enough.
Oh, and you know what “they” say. . .that’s the omnipotent antecedentless “they” of the ages. . .if you are offended by a quotation, you [...]

Mamacita says: the weekend is almost over – indeed, on Sunday afternoon, the weekend is as good as over because that’s when the depression starts, although it’s not as bad as it used to be. More than anything else, it’s the “have to get up in the morning as normal people always do” that hits [...]

Mamacita says: Heinrich Heine was the center of various controversies almost all of his adult life. Born a Jew, he later converted to Catholicism: not for the right reasons, but for convenience’s sake. He has been quoted as such: “. . . (conversion) was ‘the ticket of admission into European culture.’”. and “As [...]

Mamacita says: Laura Ingalls Wilder’s wonderful semi-autobiographical Little House series contains some of my very favorite titles of all time. If you don’t have the complete set in your home, TELL Santa Claus to bring it, and no two ways about it. Every home needs these books. Our society needs these stories [...]

Mamacita says: it would do me no good to try and write an introduction to a list of quotations about books and reading, because I’d probably say something about how I consider non-readers to be substandard citizens and card-carrying members of the Stupid Society, and that wouldn’t be conducive to the upholding of my toplofty [...]

Mamacita says: I think, sometimes anyway, that it’s when my students get into hot and heavy “discussions” – most of which I jump into as well, that I like my job the best. The public school discouraged discussion; there were too many things to drill and practice before the almighty ISTEP, and besides, there was [...]

Mamacita says: I just got back from BlogIndiana a couple of hours ago, and I think I’m going through withdrawal. Hanging out with a large group of awesome people who understand the jargon and purpose of social media and blogging is such a wonderful experience, and I firmly believe that bloggers NEED each [...]
Mamacita says: My obsession with writing has extended itself over into Quotation Saturday!

2. The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but [...]
