dear benjamin,

these are all great, as always! some of my faves today:

“I should never be allowed out in private.”

— Randolph Churchill

“I am so sorry. We have to stop there. I have just come to the end of my personality.”

— Quentin Crisp, ending an interview

“Many promising reconciliations have broken down because, while both parties came prepared to forgive, neither party came prepared to be forgiven.”

— Charles Williams

thanks for sharing! much love,

I so needed this today. First because a dear relative has been badly hurt by what another dear relative did and doubly hurt by the lack of an apology (although I am resisting sending her a link to this because I don't think she has yet moved to a place where she could see the humor.) Second because I went back and read the piece on Feminism, and needed that bit of humor on a day we down in the states are supposed to be celebrating the founding values of our country when it is definitely going to hell in a hand basket. So thanks.

Thank you Maria! Hopefully in both instances you can swap out the problematic individual(s) for someone more suited for the role!
