New Year Quotes - Page 20

• To shut the door at the end of the workday, which does not spill over into evening. To throw away books after reading them so theydon't have to be dusted.

Other women besides me must have this daydream about a carefree life.

  Maxine Hong Kingston

• When I stopped wanting my New Year's Eve to be perfect, to bring in the New Year right, is when it started working out right. When I was young, I was always looking for the best party to be at, to ring in the New Year, and I always ended up in the car going, "Happy New Year."
