Sheeder Quotes & Sayings

If I ruled supreme, there would be big problems. — Kirby Larson

My spiritual path has largely been Christianity - a label that I embraced and then rejected and have partially embraced again, as my understanding of Christianity has changed over time. When I accepted the mainstream, dogmatic definition of Christianity there came a point when I had to say, "Well, if that's what a Christian is, I'm not one." — Tim DeChristopher

During my long and intimate acquaintance with Mr. Sherlock Holmes I had never heard him refer to his relations, and hardly ever to his own early life. This reticence upon his part had increased the somewhat inhuman effect which he produced upon me, until sometimes I found myself regarding him as an isolated phenomenon, a brain without a heart, as deficient in human sympathy as he was pre-eminent in intelligence.

I had come to believe that he was an orphan with no relatives living, but one day, to my very great surprise, he began to talk to me about his brother. — Arthur Conan Doyle

Try to be thoughtful,
don't make the poor man say it;
see how human he is,
he has children of his own,

And now he can never say no.
And now he can never not say
yes. — Kathleen Sheeder Bonanno

And when I stand
in the receiving line
like Jackie Kennedy
without the pillbox hat,
if Jackie were fat
and had taken enough Klonopin

because I've been going
to Weight Watchers
on Tuesdays and wonder
if you want to go too. — Kathleen Sheeder Bonanno

My parents moved back to New York from Florida when I was in the ninth grade. — Sanford I. Weill

If you go out in the country, spend a lot of time on decaying farms, and you see a lot of crumbling tobacco farms, and wandering the woods, there's something beneath the surface; there's something older ... more sinister. — Cullen Bunn

In religious and in secular affairs, the more fervent beliefs attract followers. If you are a moderate in any respect - if you're a moderate on abortion, if you're a moderate on gun control, or if you're a moderate in your religious faith - it doesn't evolve into a crusade where you're either right or wrong, good or bad, with us or against us. — Jimmy Carter

I do admit that I've never been one to fit in easily to any given pattern. It's not my choice. It's just the way I am.

plaintive edge
