I meant to ask, "Are you Canby" I corrected it though. I can't find the quote But...
He's the shortest giant in the world, and the tallest midget. He's the thinnest fat man, and the fattest thin man.
"Pardon me," said Milo to the first man who happened by; "can you tell me where I am?"
"To be sure," said Canby; "you're on the Island of Conclusions. Make yourself at home. You're apt to be here for some time."
"But how did we get here?" asked Milo, who was still a bit puzzled by being there at all.
"You jumped, of course," explained Canby. "That's the way most everyone gets here. It's really quite simple: every time you decide something without having a good reason, you jump to Conclusions whether you like it or not. It's such an easy trip to make that I've been here hundreds of times."
"But this is such an unpleasant-looking place," Milo remarked.
"Yes, that's true," admitted Canby; "it does look much better from a distance."
As he spoke, at least eight or nine more people sailed onto the island from every direction possible.
"Well, I'm going to jump right back," announced the Humbug, who took two or three practice bends, leaped as far as he could, and landed in a heap two feet away.
"That won't do at all," scolded Canby, helping him to his feet. "You can never jump away from Conclusions. Getting back is not so easy. That's why we're so terribly crowded here."
Here's some other quotes:
Expectations is the place you must always go to before you get to where you're going. Of course, some people never go beyond Expectations, but my job is to hurry them along whether they like it or not.
Time is a gift, given to you, given to give you the time you need, the time you need to have the time of your life.
So many things are possible just as long as you don't know they're impossible.
What you can do is often simply a matter of what you will do.
But it's not just learning that's important. It's learning what to do with what you learn and learning why you learn at all that matters.
Whatever we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone else.
You know that it's there, but you just don't know where - but just because you can never reach it doesn't mean that it's not worth looking for.
Many of the things which can never be, often are.
If you want sense, you'll have to make it yourself.
The way you see things depends a great deal on where you look at them from.
Why not? That's a good reason for almost anything - a bit used perhaps, but still quite serviceable.
Well, since you got here by not thinking, it seems reasonable to expect that, in order to get out, you must start thinking.
Whether or not you find your own way, you're bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it's quite rusty.
