Robert Fulghum

Quotes

• “I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge — / That myth is more potent than history. / I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts — / That hope always triumphs over experience — / That laughter is the only cure for grief. / And I believe that love is stronger than death.”

• “The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be.”

• “We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness — and call it love — true love.”

• “Don’t worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.”

• “Be aware of wonder. And then remember the Dick and Jane books and the first word you learned — the biggest word of all — LOOK.”
