Once again, here are the quotations used in this week’s episode of Criminal Minds. Once again, there was only one quotation, since this was essentially the second half of last week’s episode.
As with many of the quotations in this show, this one is difficult to authenticate, although it’s all over the web. However, I did find the following interesting treatise on light and dark in The Republic:
Stay tuned next week for the quotations from next week’s episode of Criminal Minds. The show airs at 8PM or 9PM, depending on your time zone, on CBS.

I’ve found that quotations are one of the best ways to learn from the mistakes of others. Even better, when someone disagrees with you, you have ammunition to back it up. Here are some of my favorite quotations about how to have a happy marriage.

Wouldn’t we all do a little better with some more sleep. Next time someone is trying to convince you to stay out late, use James Thurber’s excuse:
“Sorry, I’m allergic to consciousness.”
You’ll get a laugh and a graceful way out of a situation.

When I’m in a particularly bad mood, and I read a quotation like this, I usually respond with a silent, “Oh yeah, how?”
What can I do about the width and depth of my life? You’re telling me I can’t make myself live longer, but I can make my life fuller. Then you don’t bother to tell me what I can do to make it fuller.
Actually, Evan Esar might have continued to tell me what I could do to make my life fuller, but that part didn’t make the quote. That’s how quotes are. They give you a glimpse into what an author said, enticing you to read more.
Evan Esar was an American humorist, so it doesn’t appear that he talked at length about making your life wide and deep. He did, however, say many witty things. You can read more in his book, 20,000 Quips & Quotes.

Apparently we missed the beginning of this one, but webloggers have been participating in a meme where they choose five quotations that define themselves:
Go here and look through random quotes until you find five that you think reflect who you are or what you believe.
Here are a few links to people who have posted their five quotes:
I’m not going to attempt to post five quotes of my own—it was my inability to choose a small number of favorite quotations that got this site started in the first place—but you might want to try it. Leave a comment here with the five quotations you’ve chosen, or post them to your own site.
