Welcome to LaLaLand

These are just some of my favorite quotes from Lemony Snicket's (The author of "A Series of Unfortunate Events") "Horseradish:Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid".Ironically enough, though,I find that most of His sayings aren't even bitter =O They're actually,mostly,pretty hillarious XD,I think.I've put them in the different catagories they're under in the book for your convenience ;) :

        HOME

                          "The difference between

                           a house and a home is like

                            the difference between

                              a man and a woman--

                           it might be embarassing

                                    to explain,

                              but it would be very

                                  unusual to get

                                 them confused"

                           "There are some people

                           who believe that home is

                          where one hangs one's hat,

                           but these people tend to

                               live in closets and

                                 on little pegs."

                             "An old cowboy song

                         celebrates home on the range,

                       where the deer and antelope play,

                         but anyone who has seen deer

                            and antelope knows that

                            when they are frolicking

                           they scarcely look where

                         they are flinging their hooves

                          which is why cowboys have

                             been pummeled almost

                                  to extinction"

 "One's home is like a delicious piece of pie

  you order in a resteraunt on a country road

  one cozy evening--the best peice of pie you

  have ever eaten in your life--and can never

  find again. After you leave home,you may

  find yourself feeling homesick, even if you

  have a new home that has nicer wallpaper

  and a more efficient dishwasher than the

  home in which you grew up, and no matter

  how many times you visit you may never

  quite cure yourself of the fluttery,homesick

  feeling in your stomach. Homesickness can

  even strike you when you are still living at

  home,but a home that has changed over the

  years, and you long for the time--even if

  such a time existed only in your imagination

  --when your home was as delcious as you

  remember. You may search your family

  and your mind--just as you might search

  dark and winding country roads--trying to

  recapture the best time in your life,so that

  you might cure your homesickness with a

  second slice of that distant, faraway pie, but

  your search will end in vain, as you have lost

  the map that told you where to turn, and the

  resteraunt has long ago burned down, and

  the baker who made the pie has gotten tired

  of waiting for you and has devoted her life

  to making tomato paste instead, but she is no

  good at it, and now you are lost in life, the

  darkness closing in on you, with nothing but

  a sad flutter in your stomach and a sour

  acidic taste in your mouth."

                            my accquaintance titled one

                                     of his books

                            You Can't Go Home Again,

                            but he was not necessarily

                                   talking to you"
