Barry's Definitions
Of Quotes
(Therapy For Barry)
Famous quotes do not necessarily mean what we think they do. I have committed to the job (somebody has to do it) of defining what the author of these quotes is really trying to say. I have begun with several, but I want my website visitors to submit their favorite quote for me to interpret. Send it by e-mail at oracle1@mailcity.com . Please give me a week or so to get around to yours. Remember, this is therapy for me, not a requirement from me! :-))
