I beg to differ.
The quote: "We are inclined to believe those whom we do not know because they have never deceived us." —Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)
This is a quote that, it could be argued, has outlived its time. Skepticism and cynicism are my usual first reactions these days. Of course, I still get suckered every now and again by a certain parent who shall remain Dad, so I haven't lost all the naiveté just yet.
The quote: "Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one." —Malcolm Forbes (1919-1990), in Forbes magazine
The quote: "The creation of art is not the fulfillment of a need but the creation of a need. The world never needed Beethoven's Fifth Symphony until he created it. Now we could not live without it." —Luis I. Kahn
The quote: "Last night somebody broke into my apartment and replaced everything with exact duplicates...." —Steven Wright
I hate it when that happens.
The quote: "I dwell in possibility..." —Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
The quote: "Reminds me of my safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water." —W.C. Fields (1880-1946)
I wonder if the hairs on the back of his neck tickled as I sketched my fellow commuter...nah.
The quote: "If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies." —Moshe Dayan (1915-1981)
The church steeple is loosely based on one you'd find in my new hometown. Easily visible from the train platform, I drew this in October. I've been a little behind in my doodles, so I did several all in one day.
The quote: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." —Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962)
I can't believe you didn't know that...duh! :-D
Thanks for stopping by!

I always look forward to your entries, Nan. Your elephant is cool and I loved your selection of quotes. Maybe I need to buy a Bartlett's!
