One of mimikatemom's book selections inspired this choice for "What Would You Bring?".
Imagine you could bring five quotations with you for inspiration, motivation, reminding... whatever you use quotations for. What five quotes would they be. Are they written by others, or is there a motto that you've created and adopted that you would like to see everyday?
They don't necessarily have to pertain to your island-bound situation, though write what you may. Who am I to make up rules for Desert Island?
Enjoy.

Two other quotes that I like, but don't live by are:
"But I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now." - Bob Dylan
"When your conscious hits, you knock it back with pills." - Robert Plant
I am also a fan of:
"Every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back I hope you feel it." - Alanis Morissette
Just didn't feel like including it in my top 5 to take to a desert island. That one is always in my head, anyway.
I must add a George Carlin amendment to Burt's "live and let live."
"Live and let live, that's what I say...someone doesn't agree with it, take 'em out back n' shoot the motherfucker!"
