The Knowledge of Dr. Seuss

“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”

“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”

“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own.
And you know what you know. You are the guy who'll decide where to go.”

“And will you succeed? Yes indeed, yes indeed! Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed!”

“You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.”

“From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere.”

“And the turtles, of course... All the turtles are free- As turtles and, maybe, all creatures should be.”

“[A]s you partake of the world's bill of fare,/ that's darned good advice to follow./ Do a lot of spitting out the hot air./ And be careful what you swallow.”
