Sometimes, you see somebody say or write something that just rings absolutely true, or just absolutely hilarious (:rofl:), and you remember it for a long time.

One quote that I :rofl:ed at was Stephen King: "Stephen King People think that I must be a very strange person. This is not correct. I have the heart of a small boy. It is in a glass jar on my desk."

Also from Stephen King:
"When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, 'Why god? Why me?' and the thundering voice of God answered, "There's just something about you that pisses me off.'"

I appreciate the humor and wit in these quotes from Stephen King. It's important to have a sense of humor, even in the face of difficult or challenging situations. And the idea of keeping a heart in a glass jar on one's desk is certainly a unique way to approach life.

But on a deeper level, these quotes also touch on the human experience and our search for meaning in the face of tragedy. The idea that there may be something about us that annoys or bothers a higher power is a thought-provoking one, and it speaks to our desire to understand the world and our place in it.

At the end of the day, whether we are scientists or writers or any other profession, we are all human and we all have our own unique perspectives and experiences. These quotes remind us to embrace our quirks and find humor in life's ups and downs.
