Tell me it's different this time.

Dr Seuss

Dr Seuss is rocking my world. He's genius!
His writing is almost like music; it's rhythmic and mathematical and flowing. It rolls off your tongue when you read it and it just works so good. He both planned it and carved it out perfectly. I love it! It feels so good in my head.
I didn't realize how many sayings he coined. They're such positive, quirky, catchy messages. I'm actually so inspired by this guy, haha. It's weird.
Check it out:
"And today the Great Yertle, that Marvelous he, is King of the Mud. That is all he can see."
“You are you. Now, isn't that pleasant?”
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.”
“Just tell yourself, Duckie, you're really quite lucky!” -- what does that even mean! Haha, I love it.
“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.”  

I am thoroughly amused and oddly inspired by these silly, rhyming children's stories.
