So this is what I got at the book sale:

frazy.comfrazy.comfrazy.comfrazy.comfrazy.com

For a cool 26 bucks. Not alot I know, but if there's one thing I detest about such sales, it's that everything is placed so haphazardly, I just give up searching/browsing after a while.

"in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it means to be human"

From Thorton Wilder's Our Town:

Emily:
...Good-by, Good-by, world. Good-by, Grover's Corners...Mama and Papa. Good-by to clocks ticking...and Mama's sunflowers. And food and coffee. And new-ironed dresses and hot baths... and sleeping and waking up. Oh, earth, you're too wonderful for anybody to realize you.

She looks toward the stage manager and asks abruptly, through her tears:

Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it?- every, every minute?

Stage Manager:
No.

Simon Stimson:
Yes, now you know. Now you know! That's what it was to be alive. To move about in a cloud of ignorance; to go up and down trampling on the feelings of those...of those about you. To spend and waste time as though you had a million years. To be always at the mercy of one self-centered passion, or another. Now you know- that's tha happy existence you wanted to go back to. Ignorance and blindness.

A man from among the dead:
And my boy, Joel, who knew the stars- he used to say it took millions of years for that speck o' light to git to the earth, Don't seem like a body could believe it, but that's what he used to say-millions of years.

A beautiful play, at parts:)

Return of the brainless hussies. A pretty good article I think everyone should read. It's even entertaining!

Let's hope the erratic weather doesn't kill our shopping plans. My mother asked me out on a shopping date! Unbelievable. When was the last time that happened??? Loosen the purse strings, Mama! Haha. I'm gonna make sure I teach her how to pamper herself:)
