From Hugo, the Quote Meme: Here’s a blogging meme for you: What quotation, from any source other than Shakespeare or the Bible, most resonates with you today? What quotation most resonated with you in your teenage years?

I’m not sure about my early teenage years, but I had this on my wall throughout college:

Is not life one hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?

– Friedrich Nietzsche

Considering this post, I suppose that’s approrpiate. Life was short, indeed — in my head, at least!

These days, this suits me much better:

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

– Judy Garland
