“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.” 
~ Jim Morrison

True benevolence, or compassion, extends itself through the whole of existence and sympathizes with the distress of every creature capable of sensation.

“We think too small. Like the frog at the bottom of the well: He thinks the sky is only as big as the top of well. If he surfaces he would have an entirely different view.” -- unknown

These profound thoughts are dedicated to Heaveinawildflower! 
Desert rains are usually so definitely demarked that the story of the man who washed his hands in the edge of an Arizona thunder shower without wetting his cuffs seems almost credible. ~Administration in the State of Arizona, U.S. public relief program, 1935-1943
You know you're an Arizona native when you take rain dances seriously. ~Skip Boyer, quoted in You Know You're an Arizona Native, When... compiled by Don Dedera, 1993
Arizona looks like a battle on Mars. ~Author Unknown
A three-inch rain in Phoenix means three inches between drops. ~Local Saying
Welcome to Arizona, where summer spends the winter - and hell spends the summer. ~Popular saying, modified from a booster slogan in the 1930s
Fort Yuma is probably the hottest place on earth. The thermometer stays at one hundred and twenty in the shade there all the time - except when it varies and goes higher. It is a U.S. military post, and its occupants get so used to the terrific heat that they suffer without it. There is a tradition... that a very, very wicked soldier died there, once, and of course, went straight to the hottest corner of perdition, - and the next day he telegraphed back for his blankets. ~Mark Twain, Roughing It, 1872, chapter LVI
You know you're an Arizona native when you think Taco Bell is the local phone company. ~Emma Louise Philabaum, quoted in You Know You're an Arizona Native, When... compiled by Don Dedera, 1993
You know you're an Arizona native when... a rainy day puts you in a good mood. ~Marshall Trimble, quoted in You Know You're an Arizona Native, When... compiled by Don Dedera, 1993
I am enamored with desert dew because it's usually the closest thing we get to rain. ~Linda Solegato
You know you're from Arizona when you drive two miles around a parking lot looking for a shady place - even in the dead of winter. ~Local Saying
Once, it was so damned dry, the bushes followed the dogs around. ~Nancy Dedera
You know you're an Arizona native when you run to the window just to watch a dust storm. ~Marshall Trimble, quoted in You Know You're an Arizona Native, When... compiled by Don Dedera, 1993
You know you're from Arizona when you feed your chickens ice cubes to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs. ~Local Saying
In Arizona, shade trees are your best friends. (And occasionally the basis of small civil wars over parking.) ~Author Unknown
I live in the dry dusty desert
Where we're always short on water
And even if the sun fell upon us
It couldn't get any hotter.
~Linda Solegato
You know you live in Phoenix when the cold-water faucet is hotter than the hot-water faucet. ~Author Unknown
It's so hot even my fake plants are wilting. ~Linda Solegato
You know you live in Phoenix when the four seasons are: tolerable, hot, really hot, and are you freakin' kidding me?! ~Author Unknown
You know you're an Arizona native when you "hug" a cactus only once in your lifetime. ~Nancy Dedera, quoted in You Know You're an Arizona Native, When... compiled by Don Dedera, 1993
You know you live in Phoenix when you are willing to park 3 blocks away because you actually found shade from a palm tree imported 300 miles from California and nurtured with water piped 250 miles from Nevada. ~Author Unknown
Winter in 'Zona is spring
Spring is summer
Autumn is our winter
And summer is Hell.
~Cherishe Archer
You know you live in Phoenix when you've experienced condensation on your butt cheeks from the hot water evaporating in the toilet bowl. ~Author Unknown

Thanks RQ! We're still in the part of the year that makes us remember why we live here, but by June we should be back in triple digits again!
My absolute favorite-
Once, it was so damned dry, the bushes followed the dogs around. ~Nancy Dedera

My profound thought for the day...
I could swear my penis is larger than it was yesterday.
As I contemplate this, I slowly but surely come to an epiphany: if this repeats itself much longer, I'm sure to have difficulty finding any woman who can accommodate it.
The world is but a stage!
~Ron Jeremy
