2. “Nonsense wakes up the brain cells. And
it helps develop a sense of humor, which
is awfully important in this day and age.
Humor has a tremendous place in this
sordid world. It’s more than just a matter
of laughing. If you can see things out of
whack, then you can see how things can
be in whack.”― Dr. Seuss

end of a telescope. Which is what I
do, and that enables you to laugh
at life’s realities.” ― Dr. Seuss

Slump.”- Dr Seuss, OH, the Places You'll Go!
